The Perfect Self-Care Shower Routine: Five Tips to Skip the Tub
We all know how important it is to take care of ourselves. But sometimes, it can be hard to find the time to relax and recharge. One of the best ways to do this is by skipping the tub and turning your shower into a spa. (Plus, showers are better for the environment because they use less water than the average bath!) Reap all the benefits of a self-care shower, and if you don't know where to start, follow these simple tips.
1. Use quality products
Elevating your shower experience begins with the careful selection of premium products tailored to pamper your body and nourish your senses. Investing in high-quality skincare essentials transcends mere hygiene—it's an indulgence that leaves a lasting impact on your well-being. Treat yourself to the luxury of a meticulously crafted shampoo and conditioner duo, formulated to nurture your hair with botanical extracts and vitamins, leaving it soft, silky, and irresistibly fragrant.
Enhance your cleansing ritual with a decadent body bar meticulously designed to cater to your unique skin type, whether you crave the invigorating freshness of citrus or the soothing comfort of lavender. Opt for a sumptuous loofah or an exfoliating glove to gently slough away impurities and unveil the radiant glow beneath, transforming your shower into a spa-like sanctuary.
Discover the transformative power of products crafted from all-natural ingredients, free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. Embrace the purity of nature as you lather up with botanical-rich formulas, harnessing the potent benefits of botanicals like aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter. Feel the difference as your skin drinks in the nourishing goodness, leaving it supple, hydrated, and radiant with health.
Indulge in the sensory delight of luxurious textures and intoxicating aromas, allowing each moment in the shower to become a blissful escape from the stresses of daily life. With each application, revel in the knowledge that you are treating yourself to the very best, infusing your self-care routine with a touch of opulence and sophistication. Prioritize quality, purity, and indulgence in every aspect of your shower experience, and watch as your skin and hair transform, reflecting the care and attention lavished upon them.
2. Add some aromatherapy
Transform your shower into a sensory oasis with the indulgent practice of aromatherapy, offering a blissful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Elevate your shower routine by infusing the air with the soothing essence of eucalyptus, renowned for its calming properties and refreshing aroma. Immerse yourself in a cloud of tranquility as you hang a meticulously curated eucalyptus shower steamer from your shower head, allowing the warm water to release its invigorating fragrance with every inhalation.
Alternatively, indulge in the decadent luxury of eucalyptus shower steamers, meticulously crafted to deliver a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. Delight in the gentle hiss of steam as the shower steamer dissolves, releasing a symphony of essential oils that envelops you in a cocoon of serenity. Unlike traditional bath bombs, our shower steamers are thoughtfully formulated to ensure the safety of your drain, free from excessive oils that could potentially solidify and cause blockages.
Savor the sensation of stress melting away as you bask in the therapeutic embrace of eucalyptus-infused steam, revitalizing your senses and soothing your mind. With each breath, feel the tension ebb away, leaving you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to face the day ahead. Elevate your shower experience with the transformative power of aromatherapy, embracing the harmonious union of nature's bounty and modern luxury.

3. Give your shower a soundtrack
Elevate your shower experience to new heights by embracing the therapeutic power of sound, transforming your daily routine into a symphony of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bid farewell to silence and welcome the soothing embrace of a carefully curated soundtrack, tailored to wash away stress and replenish your spirit. Whether you prefer the melodic strains of tranquil music, the serene whispers of nature's symphony, or the captivating narratives of an audiobook, allow the harmonious melodies to envelop you in a cocoon of tranquility.
Immerse yourself in the rhythmic cadence of calming tunes, allowing each note to melt away tension and transport you to a state of serenity. Alternatively, invite the gentle rustle of leaves and the melodic chirping of birds into your sanctuary, reconnecting with the natural world and finding solace in its timeless rhythms.
If audio devices are not readily available, unleash the healing power of your own voice by serenading the shower with your favorite melodies. Let your voice soar as you sing along to cherished songs, infusing the air with joy and vitality. Whether you choose to listen to external melodies or create your own, embrace the transformative potential of sound as a catalyst for relaxation and renewal.
With each shower, allow the melodic strains to wash over you, cleansing both body and soul of the stresses of the day. Embrace the symphony of sound as a cherished companion on your journey towards inner peace and well-being, and emerge from the shower refreshed, recharged, and ready to embrace life's challenges with renewed vigor.
4. Create a mood with warm, relaxing lighting
Crafting the perfect ambiance in your bathroom is crucial for enhancing your shower experience, and lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the mood. Embrace the transformative power of warm, relaxing lighting to create an inviting sanctuary where you can unwind and rejuvenate. If you're fortunate to have a dimmer switch, utilize it to adjust the brightness, casting a soft, soothing glow that envelops you in tranquility.
Alternatively, if you seek to awaken and invigorate your senses, consider opening a window to welcome in natural light, infusing the space with energy and vitality. Whichever option you choose, it's a welcome departure from harsh overhead lighting, ensuring a more comfortable and serene environment for your self-care ritual.
5. Ditch the plastic
As you prioritize your well-being, extend your commitment to sustainability by bidding farewell to plastic in your shower routine. Opt for eco-friendly alternatives whenever possible, reducing your environmental footprint and embracing a more conscious approach to personal care.
Choose biodegradable options for loofahs, exfoliating gloves, and other shower essentials, ensuring that every aspect of your self-care routine aligns with your values. By ditching plastic and embracing eco-friendly alternatives, you can make a meaningful difference in preserving our planet for future generations, one shower at a time.

from 136 reviewsShampoo bars are an an eco-friendly alternative to good old fashioned shampoos because they use less water and no plastic! I bought the argan shampoo bar and already knew I would love it from the packaging, The box is minimalist and adorable and it has cute artwork on the inside. I love that there is no plastic packaging. When you open it, the soap is in a cute little compostable container. And the smell is divine! I love that the ingredients are clean, unlike a lot of personal care products out there on the market. I was excited to take it for a spin and was pleasantly surprised by how much it lathered up in the shower. It's moisturizing but not heavy! I'm keeping it on a soap dish in my shower so it has somewhere to drain/dry out. The only thing I would change is the price. It would be amazing if it were possible to make it a little more affordable to the mainstream.
This seasonal soap bar smells just like a Christmas tree!! I am obsessed! Great quality soap and gentle on skin. 5/5!!
This is the only purple Shampoo I have tried that’s actually able to lighten my hair! I have thick hair in a darker blonde color, and normally after using purple shampoo it looks the same as before. With this one, my hair stylist noticed my hair was lighter, and I didn’t even bring it up! And yes, I follow instructions!
I purchased the purple shampoo and conditioner bars & am very pleased with the results. It has definitely toned down the yellowing of my gray hair and does not dry my hair out. I will be ordering again for sure.

purple shampoo and conditioner
I color my hair and have tried many products that deal with toning down the orange, but nothing has worked as well as the purple bars for shampoo and conditioner. My hair has never looked or felt better. I love this product.
I love the shampoo and cream rinse. They leave my hair shiny and softer.
I have searched far and wide for a good shower streamer. These smell amazing and have amazing benefits. The eucalyptus and tea tree is powerful and refreshing. I love them! Thank you Parrotfish!
I had never seen shampoo and conditioner in a bar before. I decided to try it. I love it! My hair looks and feels great.
Smell great. Super moisturizing. My hair has never felt so healthy
I was skeptical, but wanted to give the purple shampoo and conditioner a try. Only had to lather and wash once, compared to 2-3 times with my regular shampoo. The conditioner worked well, too. I might do the extra conditioning to experiment. So glad I decided to buy this!
It has been a couple months now using this shampoo and conditioner and my only regret is not trying it sooner. A couple years ago I switched from mainstream products to trying several more natural brands. A friend suggested this bar set and I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea of Bar soap working on my fine, flat, greasy hair. My mistake. Most recently the bottled brand i was using started causing my scalp to itch and I needed to find something else. saw an ad for this and gave it a try. I LOVE the scent, the shampoo lathers so easily, and it took a minute to get used to the conditioner (follow the instructions and get a good comb to use in the shower to distribute it) but my hair has never looked and felt better. Healthier, stronger, softer, and I no longer use styling products. Thank you for such a great product!
I love the way the shampoo bar lathers and smells. Unfortunately, my kids and grandkids keep taking mine so I'll be ordering more very soon!
I purchased two of the soap dishes. One fits my shampoo and conditioner bars. The other is for my soap. While some may disagree, I leave my soap stiuck to the holder, and rub it on my loofah! Not a requirement. A convenience!
