What’s an everything shower? It’s as if you did a wide sweep of every skin care, hair care, and body care product on your shelves and flung it onto your body for one of the longest, deepest cleansing sessions of your life (some say that it can take two to four hours). It’s dry brushing followed by a body scrub, body wash, body oil, gua sha, pre-shampoo hair mask, shampoo, conditioner, post-shampoo mask, hair oil, and so on. You’ll definitely have pruney fingers at the end of it all. But you may never smell as good, especially with a few spritzes of a lush Dior perfume, or feel as shiny, polished, and new.
A version of this story appears in the March 2024 issue of ELLE.
“Light a woodsy scented candle to set the mood before your shower. It comes complete with seed paper and soil pods, so you can reuse this cheery candle vessel as a planter long after it’s fully burned.”—Tasha Nicole Smith, beauty assistant
“An everything shower calls for a hydrating shampoo. This creates a luxurious lather without leaving your hair feeling dry, for frizz-free bounce.”—T.N.S.
“Rihanna’s longtime hair-stylist, Yusef, told me that stimulating my scalp can encourage hair growth— something I’m desperately trying to achieve. Use this before you step into the water on your scalp’s pressure points to spur blood circulation, which believers hope can add inches to your strands.”—Danielle James, digital beauty director
“It’s a soap on a rope, which is almost the color of taupe, and the smell is pretty dope.”—K.H.
“Founder Teyma Touati created a luxe four-step body care routine based upon Mediterranean bathing culture. It’s capped off with this spray-on body oil, available unscented or in a Jasmine Wood fragrance.”—K.H.
“The peppermint oil, avocado, and plant extracts in this shampoo will gently tickle and deeply cleanse your scalp, removing the oil, sweat, and hair product gunk that built up during the week.”—K.H.
“At the close of your epic shower, give the ends of your hair a few drops of this silky and softening treatment oil, developed by celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak.”—K.H.
“Deep conditioning is an important step in any hair care routine, but especially when you have curls. This mask has a blend of sweet almond oil and mango seed butter to add moisture and prevent breakage.”—T.N.S.
"A true showpiece, this 'trunk' (more like a treasurable box) was created by visual artist Eva Gospin, in collaboration with the artisans of the Chanakya ateliers and the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai. Dior Perfume’s creative director Francis Kurkdjian also modernized the classic Miss Dior scent, with a youthful focus on jasmine." —Kathleen Hou, beauty director
