As a beauty writer, I don’t subscribe to all viral trends. Fads like slugging and retinol — everything comes across as just too much, no matter how good the benefits are. However, there is one viral trend I’ve found myself subscribing to these days, and if you can find the time, so should you. The “everything” shower has been my new favorite beauty fad to stand behind. After commuting to the office three days a week, taking an “everything” shower has become my favorite form of self-care.

ICYMI, an “everything” shower, is when you do all your shower maintenance in one go. So, if you need to wash and deep condition, exfoliate, shave, or do whatever else you do when the water is running, this is time to do it. It can also look different each week, depending on the maintenance you need. While that rings true for me, the one thing that stays consistent in my routine is my Nativa SPA products, specifically the Soothing Vanilla collection — they’re my non-negotiables for my everything shower.
Take a peek at a few of my go-to products and where they fall during my “everything” shower routine. Trust me, these little gems help me step out of the bath, uber relaxed with soft, glowy skin to end the week just right.
Step 1: Dry Brush
Nativa SPA Exclusive Dry Brush
$25
Usually, my main goal during an “everything” shower is to achieve baby-soft, uber-smooth, moisturized skin by the end of it. I find the best way to start an “everything” shower is to dry brush before you even step in. Dry brushing is an ancient Egyptian technique that helps to exfoliate and detoxify the body of dead skin. I usually like to start dry brushing from my feet, working my way up in small circular motions until I reach the center of my body. It’ll probably feel strange at first, but once you get in the shower, it leaves a unique and refreshing feeling as the water hits.
Step 2: Cleanse & Exfoliate
Nativa SPA Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Scrub
$26
After cleansing with whatever body wash I have in rotation, I like to use the Vanilla Soothing Body Scrub to gently exfoliate my skin. This is my second favorite part of my “everything” shower. Unlike other scrubs that feel rough and gritty straight out of the container, this one feels like a soft, jelly-like substance that isn’t abrasive on the skin. Plus, it smells sweet and delicious, making me feel even more relaxed while bathing.
Step 3: Shaving & Body Oil
Nativa SPA Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Oil
$26
Now, my skin is ready for the not-so-fun part. Shaving isn’t the most fantastic thing in the world, and if I’m being honest, I only do this if it’s an absolute must — like I know I’ll be wearing shorts or a skirt the next day. But after shaving, I apply the Soothing Body Oil, aka my favorite part of the “everything” shower. Like the scrub, this body oil smells divine, but it’s the perfect thing to calm my skin after exfoliating and irritation from shaving. Plus, my skin glistens once I step out of the shower. Trust me, it’s a must.
Step 4: Massage
Nativa SPA Body Massager
$25
Sometimes, this step is optional, but with my skin already covered in body oil, it just makes sense to use this body massager, especially after a long day. Not only does it feel relaxing, but it also helps the products penetrate further into the skin and more evenly.
Step 5: Moisturize
Nativa SPA Madagascar Vanilla Soothing Body Lotion
$26
Like the first step, the last step also happens outside of the shower. I usually finish with the yummy-smelling soothing body lotion to seal all the work I did during my shower. I would use this body lotion even if I didn’t do an “everything” shower, but it’s the best sealant for one because it’s so lightweight but still very hydrating.
