If you follow every fad on TikTok, you probably already know what an everything shower is. On the off chance you haven't heard about this latest trend, we'll fill you in. Everything showers involve an extensive beauty routine. We're talking shampooing, conditioning, using a body wash along with a scalp scrub, a hair mask and shaving. Exfoliating is another crucial step, but you may not already have a good one in your arsenal. Which is why we've compiled the best body scrubs currently on the market.
They come in a few forms. Most common are the sugar-based scrubs. There are also creamier formulas. Glossier even has a bar version in its millennial-loved repertoire. If you're easily irritated, make sure to pick an exfoliator that's safe to use on stressed skin. You should also skip any fragranced options. On the other hand, if you like a little aromatherapy during your shower, select one with a pleasing and relaxing aroma.
