What is an everything shower? Beauty experts reveal the most important steps
To master the everything shower, start with a high-quality body scrub to exfoliate and prep your skin. Eha Urbsalu, Founder of Viking Beauty Secrets, says that for dry skin, gentle exfoliation is key. She recommends using natural textures to smooth without stripping.
"Exfoliating removes buildup so your skin can fully absorb the nourishment from oils and creams, rather than letting it sit on the surface," Urbsalu said.
Swap your regular body wash for a hydrating, creamy formula that locks in moisture. Don't forget to nourish your hair with a rich shampoo and a deep conditioning treatment. For sensitive or eczema-prone skin, Melanie Abeyta, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Owner of Harmony Aesthetics Center, recommends choosing a fragrance-free product with soothing ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, allantoin or niacinamide.
"Cream-based cleansers or cleansing oils are better than scrubs for these skin types, which can be easily irritated," Abeyta said. "People with very dry skin benefit from richer oil-based washes while those with normal skin may only need a lighter hydrating wash."
The final, crucial step happens post-shower: while your skin is still damp, apply a rich body oil or lotion to seal in all the moisture. People of all skin types should avoid formulas containing harsh or irritating ingredients that can worsen dryness rather than relieve it, according to Valerie Aparovich, a biochemist and certified cosmetologist-aesthetician at OnSkin.
Read on to find the perfect products to include in your everything shower routine:
Scalp scrubs and clarifying shampoos are essential for removing product buildup and excess oil. Use a hair mask for deep conditioning.
Ouai Detox Shampoo is formulated with key ingredients, including apple cider vinegar, to exfoliate and remove dirt, oil and product buildup, as well as chelating agents to help wash away hard water deposits. This shampoo also contains hydrolyzed keratin to help strengthen hair, leaving it feeling clean, soft and refreshed without stripping it of its natural oils.
The Chronologiste detoxifying charcoal pre-shampoo is a luxurious option for a thorough scalp cleanse before shampooing. It is formulated with charcoal to remove buildup and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and unclog pores, which creates a healthier environment for hair growth.
This hair mask is praised for its restorative properties. It penetrates the hair fiber to repair broken molecular bonds for a lasting restoration. This leads to immediate and dramatic results; users often say their hair feels "like silk" after just one use. It's an at-home version of a professional salon treatment.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! hair mask is a popular weekly treatment for hydrating and nourishing dry strands. The formula achieves this by providing a crucial balance of protein and moisture, which are the essential building blocks of healthy hair. The mask strengthens the hair shaft, reduces breakage and restores moisture.
The Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Hair Mask intensely nourishes and strengthens hair. It is formulated with key ingredients like Mirsalehi honey, which acts as a natural humectant to hydrate and add shine, along with biomimetic ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
Using exfoliators and moisturizing body washes will leave your skin in top shape.

Zespri Achieves a First for Fresh Produce with EU-Approved Health Claim for Green Kiwifruit
Green kiwifruit is the first fresh fruit to achieve a health claim by the EU Commission, following more than 15 years of Zespri-led research ANTWERP, Belgium, August 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green kiwifruit has become the first fresh fruit ever to receive an authorised health claim from the European Commission, marking a breakthrough for kiwifruit marketer Zespri and the wider fresh produce industry. The European Commission has officially approved the health claim that "consumption of green kiwifruit contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency" – based on a daily intake of two fresh green kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. Hayward) providing a minimum of 200g of flesh. This authorisation is among only three health claims approved by the European Commission in the last five years, following a rigorous evaluation process in which only less than 1 out of 8 claims submitted receive approval. Zespri CEO Jason Te Brake says, "This milestone is not only a first for Zespri but for the entire fresh produce industry. The EU Commission's recognition of green kiwifruit's role in digestive health reflects one of the ways we are helping people thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. The approval not only validates Zespri's health and innovation programme, it also delivers tangible value to the industry and reflects the hard work of our green growers to produce nutritious, great-tasting kiwifruit." Zespri fully funded the application process and majority of the key research submitted in the scientific substantiation, committing over 15 years to documenting the benefits of green kiwifruit. The approval follows the submission of a comprehensive scientific dossier in 2018 which included 18 human intervention studies, six of which ultimately were considered as a strong basis for proving the effect of green kiwifruit on intestinal function. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) delivered a positive scientific opinion in 2021, which has now culminated in the Commission's formal authorisation. This landmark achievement demonstrates the critical value of investing in health and nutrition science -both to build trust in the fresh category and to unlock further growth and demand for green kiwifruit. In 2024/25, Zespri supplied a total of 220.9 million trays (ZespriTM Green, ZespriTM RubyRedTM and ZespriTM SunGoldTM Kiwifruit) to more than 50 markets. Zespri Green kiwifruit is packed with essential nutrients including fiber, the beneficial effects on digestive health of which are well-documented in scientific research. The European Commission has now recognized the benefits of green kiwifruit for promoting good bowel habits, confirming the added value of this delicious fruit that many consumers already experience through daily consumption. As European consumers become increasingly proactive about their health and seek naturally nutritious foods with proven benefits, Zespri's leadership sets a blueprint for fresh produce that science-led innovation delivers real value for consumers and the industry. With this new authorisation, Zespri will begin integrating the health claim into its European communications, reaffirming its commitment to helping consumers make informed choices about their health. IMAGERY Imagery of Zespri Green Kiwifuit can be found in the following link LINKS Official Journal of the European Union: EFSA health claims page: ABOUT ZESPRI Zespri is 100 percent owned by current and former kiwifruit growers and has a global team of 900+ based in Mount Maunganui and throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. Our purpose is to help people, communities and the environment thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit, and we work with 2,800 growers in New Zealand and 1,500 growers offshore to provide consumers with fresh, healthy and great-tasting Zespri Green, Zespri RubyRed and SunGold Kiwifruit. In 2024/25, we supplied 220.9 million trays (more than 795,000 tonnes) of kiwifruit to consumers in more than 50 markets, and recorded global operating revenue of NZ$5.14 billion. Zespri is committed to sustainability, with areas of improvement identified right through the supply chain including our pledge that by 2025 we will use 100 percent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging, do more to help the environment, and work with our partners to be carbon positive by 2035.
