You may be showering wrong! What is the right method?

Although it may seem like one of the most mundane actions in our daily lives, according to personal care experts, many of us actually follow the wrong order in the way we shower. The "proper shower steps" explained by experts from the Original Source brand and the common misconceptions on this subject are supported by the results of a survey. The survey revealed that only 14 percent of participants follow the recommended order.

PRIORITY ORDER

According to Chip, experts have listed the correct showering order. The ideal showering order emphasized by experts is quite specific: First, you should shampoo your hair. After shampooing, it is recommended that you use conditioner to complete your hair care. It is recommended that you only proceed with your body wash after your hair is completely washed and cared for. Experts state that these steps are not only effective in providing cleansing, but are also critical for maintaining the health of your skin.

Original Source experts explain the main reason to wash your body after shampooing and conditioning your hair:

This order prevents residue, oils or other ingredients from hair products (shampoo, conditioner) from accumulating on the skin. If the shower order is not followed correctly, such product residue can remain on the skin and potentially cause irritation or breakouts. Therefore, this simple change in order can have a significant impact on your skin health.

A survey conducted with 2,000 participants to examine common habits in this regard revealed striking results. According to the survey results, 44 percent of the participants make the most common mistake of using shower gel before shampoo.

Seven percent of participants follow a different path, preferring to use shower gel first, then conditioner and finally shampoo. Another 22 percent follow the correct recommended order, using shampoo first, then shower gel and finally conditioner.

Unfortunately, those who follow the ideal order of shampoo, conditioner and then shower gel, which experts consider to be the ideal, only constitute a minority of 14 percent. This data clearly shows how uncommon the practice of taking a proper shower is.

Alice Plimmer from Original Source emphasizes that showering is not just a physical act of cleansing, but also an important way to start the day off right or unwind at the end. She recommends using shower gels with natural, uplifting scents to boost energy levels, especially during morning showers, and highlights the impact that turning the shower experience into a sensory, rejuvenating ritual can have on personal well-being.

In short, the order in which you shower is important for both the effectiveness of the products and your overall skin and hair health. Experts say that this small change can make a big difference.
