In a world where self-care treatments are now almost a necessity rather than an occasional indulgence, a new trend has emerged on TikTok. Enter the “Everything Shower” – a comprehensive skincare, haircare, and body care routine that is supposed to elevate your shower experience to spa-like proportions.
This wellness craze, celebrated under the hashtag #everythingshower, has garnered over 123 million views and has become a beauty routine, not only for TikTok content creators but regular people too, to pamper themselves from head to toe.

It basically brings together every exfoliating, washing and treatment for your hair, body and face into one session. If you have ever applied a face mask before you hopped into the shower and a nourishing moisturiser followed by hair serum after, you may even have been doing mini Everything Showers without even knowing it.
The duration of an Everything Shower depends on individual preference, but it can range from half an hour to over two hours. It is often divided into three phases – pre-shower, shower, and post-shower – and is designed for one to immerse oneself in beautifying treatments comprising multiple steps.
And as the trend continues to gain momentum, it’s important to tailor the Everything Shower to your own preferences and skin needs. While some may find it meditative and deeply soothing, others may see it as an exhaustive endeavour.
