As the nights draw in and the air turns crisp, there’s something special about slowing down and taking time for yourself. Enter the Winter Everything Shower! Your cold-weather upgrade to the viral 'Everything Shower' trend. Think warmth, nourishment, and indulgence from head to toe.
Just like the self-care ritual that took social media by storm (and still is), this seasonal version is all about layering comfort and care. But this time, it focuses on soothing ingredients and rituals that restore skin and spirit during the chillier months.
What is a Winter Everything Shower?
As winter creeps in, your skin and hair need a little extra TLC. Dry indoor heating and frosty outdoor air can quickly draw out moisture, leaving your skin feeling tight or dull. The Winter Everything Shower is designed to combat that, by combining warmth, rich nourishment, and sensory comfort to keep you glowing all season long.
This is your ultimate cold-weather ritual: the Everything Shower, reimagined for winter wellness.
Step 1: Pre-Shower Ritual – Set the Scene
Take a moment to unwind before you begin, this is your time to reset and recharge. Transform your bathroom into a sanctuary, light a candle, play some relaxing music and make sure you have a fresh fluffy towel waiting for you. Try our NEW Night Rituals Sleep Candle, the luxurious, calming fragrance has been shown to ease stress, quiet the mind, and enhance sleep quality.
Step 2: Body Brushing & Prep
Get the shower running, but before stepping into the steam, use a dry body brush to awaken your skin and stimulate circulation. This gentle exfoliation preps your body to soak up all the nourishing ingredients to come. Use a natural-bristle brush and gently sweep your skin in upward motions, starting from your feet and moving towards your heart.
Step 3: Hair Wash Routine
Our winter everything shower favourites? The SLS-free Propolis Scalp Care Shampoo, enriched with nurturing Propolis, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Ginger for healthy-looking locks full of vitality. Follow with the Propolis Nourishing Conditioner, infused with Honey, Propolis, and Royal Jelly alongside Argan Oil to nourish and smooth hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and manageable.
Every few washes we recommend switching to the Propolis & Salicylic Scalp Rescue Shampoo as a clarifying treatment to deeply purify the scalp. Perfect for keeping dryness and product build-up at bay during the winter months.
Step 4: Cleanse – The Comforting Shower Oil
Swap your lightweight summer washes for something deeply comforting. The NEW Oats & Shea Shower Oil is the ultimate winter everything shower cleanser. It transforms into a gentle milky cleanser while cocooning it in a blanket of moisture. Enriched with Organic Oat Kernel Extract and Shea Butter to soothe irritation and deeply nourish skin. Sweet Almond Oil, Rice Bran Oil, and Vitamin E help lock in moisture, support the skin barrier, and restore lasting comfort.
If you prefer a touch more fragrance, alternate with Spiced Tonka & Tobacco or Spiced Saffron & Amber Body Wash. These sensual, Arnica-infused washes deliver a luxurious, warming cleanse that doubles as aromatherapy. All our body washes are rich in nourishing Glycerin, so the silky bubbles wrap your body in a moisturising lather, leaving your skin soft and beautifully scented.
Step 5: Smooth & Refine – Gentle Exfoliation
Winter skin often needs a little help with radiance. A body scrub works wonders, but we have a clever alternative. Chemical exfoliation is gentler on the skin ideal when winter hits and sensitivity increases.
Apply the Glycolic Radiance Face & Body Serum after your shower to smooth, brighten, and reveal healthy-looking skin. Its blend of Glycolic Acid, fruit enzymes, and hydrating ingredients like Squalane delivers that ‘post-facial’ glow from top to toe without stripping or drying the skin.
Step 6: Deep Nourishment
Lock in moisture with the NEW Oats & Shea Body Butter, a rich, comforting formula crafted to restore dry, very dry, or irritated skin. Shea Butter, Oatmeal Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, and Vitamin E combine to soothe, soften, and replenish winter skin.
For hands and arms on the go, keep the Vanilla Bean & Fig Hand & Body Lotion nearby. Whipped with Shea and Cupuaçu Butters and infused with Fig, Pomegranate, and Vanilla Extracts. The silky, vitamin-rich blend melts into the skin nourish, soften, and scent with an elevated vanilla aroma.
Step 7: Post-Shower Skincare Ritual
Do your skincare after your winter everything shower. As your face deserves a winter upgrade too. After your shower:
- Cleanse: Cleanse with the Hydra-Collagen Cream Cleanser. Our rich, non-stripping formula that gently removes impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture balance.
- Tone: Sweep or pat on the Hydra-Collagen Milk Toner, a hydrating, milky formula that delivers an extra layer of comfort and moisture to parched winter skin.
- Treat: Apply your targeted serum of choice. Whether it’s Hydra-Collagen for firming and hydration, Bakuchiol for smoothing and anti-ageing, or Vitamin C for brightening dull winter skin.
- Moisturise: Seal everything in with your moisturiser of choice. Something soothing and nourishing like the Hydra-Collagen Day & Night Cream. Don’t forget your Hydra-Collagen Lip Peptide Treatment for soft, plump lips that can stand up to the cold.
Step 8: Mindful Finishing Touch
Once your skin is nourished and glowing, slip into something comfortable, pour yourself a hot chocolate or sleepy tea, and take a few deep breaths. The Everything Shower isn’t just a top to toe skincare routine, it’s a ritual of slowing down, grounding yourself, and recharging your mind as much as your body.
How Often Should You Take a Winter Everything Shower?
We recommend once a week during the colder months. Think of it as your Sunday night reset or Friday night unwind. It’s the perfect ritual to keep you balanced, nourished, and ready to take on winter with glowing skin and a calmer mind. You could even transform it into your Everything Bath, remember our body washes make wonderful bath soaks too.
Your Winter Wellness Starts Here...
From soothing Oats & Shea to sensorial Spiced Tonka & Tobacco, each product in your Winter Everything Shower helps restore balance and comfort when your skin needs it most.
So light that candle, turn on your favourite playlist, and make your shower is the highlight of your self-care season. Because self-care doesn’t stop when the temperature drops, it simply gets cosier.
