I’m a dermatologist & there’s a right order to have an ‘everything shower’ & you’re washing your hair at the wrong time
A DERMATOLOGIST has revealed the right order to have an ‘everything shower’, and the chances are you’ve probably been doing it all wrong.
According to Lindsey Zubritsky, they key to glowing skin and luscious locks is to stick to a very specific routine.
She explained on Instagram exactly how you should do it, and it starts with washing your hair.
“This includes your shampoo and conditioner, if you’re waiting until the end of your shower to rinse out your conditioner that conditioner can sit on on your skin, clog your pores and lead to back and chest acne,” she explained.
After your hair is fully washed and rinsed it’s time to move on to exfoliation.
It’s importnat to get this step in before shaving to “reduce the risk of irritation and razor bumps.”
Once that’s done you should shave when your skin is still damp and with a shaving cream or gel, Lindsey explained.
Then it’s time to wash your body, although the pro recommended avoiding loofahs when it comes to this step.
“Saving the best for last, you want to double cleanse your face,” Lindsey said.
The first cleanse will get rid of any make-up or dirt from the day, and the second will ensure your face is totally clean.
Once you hop out of the shower you should use a microfibre towel on your hair – this is because they’re less rough and are thought to cause less damage to your tresses.
Finish the shower routine off by moisturising whilst you’re still damp and that’s your ‘everything shower’ done and dusted.
After sharing the correct order, people were stunned that they’d been doing it wrong for so long.
“I usually leave my conditioner in until I’m done with everything else,” one person confessed.
A second commented: “I usually brush my teeth first, wash my face, then do the shower steps.”
Lindsey agreed with the method and replied: “Def important to brush teeth before washing face!”
