Steps

Part 1 of 4: Prepare

1. 

   Undressing. Place dirty clothing in the laundry basket. Keep clean clothes or nightgowns in a safe place so they won't get wet by the bath water.
   • Don't forget to take off your glasses. If you use contact lenses, you can still wear them in the shower, but avoid getting too much water in your eyes.

2. 

   
   
   Choose the right water temperature. Turn on the tap and let the water run until the temperature turns warm. Check the position of the shower to make sure the water is flowing into the shower area instead of out of the shower. Make sure the water is not too hot. Your wrists are a more accurate measure of temperature than fingers, so use your wrist to determine if the water temperature is right for you.
   • Take a shower every once in a while with cool or cold water, especially when it's hot and humid outside or after you've just completed vigorous exercise.
   • Bathe as soon as you turn on the water, even when it's cold to save water.

   Once the water temperature becomes ideal for bathing, carefully step into the shower. advertisement

Part 2 of 4: Cleansing the Body

1. 

   Wet the whole body. Slowly rotate it several times under the shower so that the water can cover the entire body. If you wash your hair, make sure you thoroughly wet your head and hair. Removing dirt is the first step to cleaning and wetting your body, especially when you use warm water as it will help relax your muscles.

2. 

   
   
   Apply a little shampoo to your hair. Gently rub the shampoo into the scalp to create lather, making sure each strand of hair is covered with soap bubbles. You don't have to use too much shampoo - if you use too much, it will run out quickly and the shampoo can remove the naturally healthy oils from your hair. Just adding a small amount of shampoo (about 2.5 cm) on the palm of the hand is enough.
   • Wash your hair every other day instead of every other day. Shampooing too much will damage the hair.

3. 

   Rinse the shampoo off your hair. You won't want traces of soap on your hair when it's dry.
   • To check if the shampoo has completely rinsed off your hair, wet your hair, then wring it out and pay attention to the color of the water flowing out of your hair. If you still see traces of shampoo, continue rinsing your hair and repeat the same!

4. 

   Use conditioner for your hair. Instead of simply cleaning your hair, using the conditioner you love can improve the beauty, smoothness and health of your hair. Conditioner will not be foaming, so apply conditioner evenly starting from scalp until your hair is completely covered with a smooth film. Read the conditioner instructions carefully. Many brands require that you leave conditioner on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it off with water. Some other products are allowed to be used only after bathing.
   • Some people like to use a combination shampoo and conditioner so they don't need to go through each step separately.

5. 

   Wash your face. Wet your face and use your fingers or a washcloth to evenly apply a small amount of skin cleanser or exfoliant to your face. Gently rub the solution all over the face for at least 30 seconds, rub it on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead, and you can also rub it on your neck and back if you have acne in these areas. Avoid getting the cleanser in your eyes. Especially if you use an acne cleanser, leave the cleanser on your face for at least 30 seconds to fix a facial wash that can penetrate deep into the pores. Then wash off the washcloth and wash your face well with water.
   • You can use regular soaps instead of specialized facial cleansers, but if you regularly use soap that is not suitable for your skin, your skin will become dry and irritated.

6. 

   Rub your body. Put soap or shower gel in a washcloth, loofah, bath sponge, or in your hands. Now scrub your entire body. Start with your neck and shoulders and move down your body. Remember to scrub under your armpits and back. Finally wash the genitals and buttocks. Remember to scrub behind your ears, behind your neck, and between each toe.

7. 

   Rinse off the soap. Turn around in the shower and rub your body with your hands to remove any remaining soap on your skin and remove any remaining dirt. Get your hands in your hair and make sure you rinse the soap off your skin. If you miss any, rinse it off immediately. advertisement

Part 3 of 4: Shaving and Brushing

1. 

   You can shave your legs and underarm hair if you want. Many people have a habit of shaving their legs and armpits, and bathing is the perfect time to perform these tasks.
   • Shaving legs and armpits is a common practice among women in some countries, but your body will stay clean if you don't shave them. It's up to you to decide, so talk to the woman you trust if you don't know what to do, and be sure to consider your cultural customs. Using an exfoliating product will help remove dead skin on your feet so you can shave cleaner.
   • Wet your skin and apply shaving cream or lotion on your feet.
   • Using a razor, shave upwards, against the hair growth. Start at your ankles and work your way up. And remember not to forget the bristles on the instep.
   • Shave gently to avoid cutting into the skin, especially on the knees and back of the legs as you will likely touch a rough spot and possibly cut into the skin.
   • For underarm hair, apply shaving cream or lotion to your armpits and shave (gently) in an up and down direction - armpit hair grows in both directions.

2. 

   Shave. Many men often like to shave when bathing. To do this, you will need a shaving mirror - the type of mirror that resists water vapor. If you have this kind of mirror at home, shaving in the shower is both convenient and gives you a good reason to soak in the hot water a little longer.

3. 

   You can shave your genitals if you want. Many men and women in the bath often trim or shave unwanted areas of hair in the genital area. Be careful though, and make sure you have a good position to stand in the bathroom and have enough light to see what you're doing.

4. 

   Brush teeth. It sounds funny, but brushing your teeth in the shower is really helpful. You can brush your tongue without fear that the toothpaste might get into your hair or clothes. advertisement

Part 4 of 4: Finished

1. 

   Rinse your body one last time. This is quite important as it helps to ensure that your body is completely clean of soap. Make sure the conditioner is no longer in your hair before proceeding to the next step.
   • If you are brave enough, turn the water to cold mode for 3 minutes and let the water run over your face to tighten pores and give skin a natural shine.

2. 

   Turn off the water. Make sure you turn the tap on tightly so you don't waste precious water. Prepare to leave the shower and clean up all the belongings you brought in the bathroom.

3. 

   Step out of the shower. Step out carefully, as slipping in the bathroom can be dangerous.

4. 

   Use a towel to dry your body. Standing on a towel or doormat, use the nearest towel. Gently use a towel to dry your head, face, torso, abdomen, pelvis, legs, genitals, and feet. If you are careful, the water will only fall onto the carpet or doormat, not on the floor. When cleaning your face, be sure to gently pat it dry with a towel instead of rubbing it.

5. 

   Use additional products if needed. Now is the right time to use deodorant, lotion, post-shave lotion, wet hair styling product, or whatever product you need. Must use before dressing.

6. 

   Put on clean clothes. Start with clean underwear, then clothes. You are now cleanly showered and ready to go to bed or ready to start your day. advertisement

Advice

• Make sure you place a doormat next to the bathroom. A rug, or at least a towel on the floor, will help prevent you from slipping and hurting yourself when you get out of the shower.
• Let the shampoo and shower gel sit on your hair and skin for 2-3 minutes before rinsing it off with water to give them time to work (make your skin cleaner).
• When you dry your hair with a towel, pat it dry gently, not rubbing it. Rubbing can damage hair.
• When the shower is finished, rinse your hair with cold water for 10 seconds or more (depending on your tolerance) to soften it and make it easier to brush.
• After shaving, apply a moisturizer on your feet. It will help reduce skin irritation.
• Using your fingers or a wide tooth comb to brush your hair after using conditioner will help you remove any tangled hair.
• Wrap the mobile devices you take into the shower in a cloth and place them on the shelves to avoid damaging them!
• Do not rub your face too hard as this will cause acne.
• Do not use hot water. Although hot water is pleasant, it will remove the natural oils from your skin and hair. Using warm and cold water will help protect the skin and hair while bathing.
• Use warm water to wash your face. This will help dilate your pores and multiply acne so you can get rid of bacteria. After bathing, spray cold water on your face because this will tighten the pores and multiply acne so that bacteria cannot penetrate. Don't use cold water too often as you could catch a cold.

Warning

• Consider looking for solid rubber or plastic doormats with suction cups on the underside of the mat. The rubber grip will help prevent you from slipping in the bathroom and prevent yourself injury, and the suction cups will also help immobilize the carpet. However, mold can grow underneath your carpet in humid environments, so make sure to keep your carpet clean and dry.
• If you are a woman, be careful when cleaning your genitals. You can use a little soap, but using over-the-counter soap can cause damage to tissues.
• Do not use any type of electronic device in the bathroom! Hairdryers, cell phones, and radios included: you should not use any corded objects or batteries while bathing.
• Locking your bathroom door will ensure privacy, but remember that if you fall or get injured in the bathroom, a locked door will prevent emergency services from helping you in time. If you live with people you trust, don't lock your doors.
• Do not put the shampoo / soap in your eyes because otherwise they will fall.
• Do not turn on the water for bathing until all pets have left the bathroom. Cats sometimes like to sit in the shower, so carefully look around before turning on the water.
