a better me is coming - a self-love guide

During and after shower routine:

- put on your favourite playlist before getting in the shower

During:
- wet your skin and exfoliate with a body scrub
(You can make a very simple sugar one with caster sugar and coconut oil.)
- rinse off the scrub and shave
(This is option of course, and if you do use conditioner or shaving cream with Shea butter/Aloe Vera in it.)
- use your favourite body wash
(Comment for recommendations 😊.)
- finish off with an in shower body lotion or use a regular one straight after you've dried off

After:
- dry off with a fresh clean towel
- if you've washed your hair, use a soft towel and lightly pat the water off
(Do not I repeat DO NOT rub your scalp with a towel or rub in circular motions because your hair is delicate.)
- Paint your fingers and toes
- in the colder seasons, use a thick body lotion
(The Soap and Glory 'The Righteous Butter' is made for dry skin!)
- in the hotter seasons, use a thinner body lotion but use a thicker one for your elbows and knees if they get really dry
- brush out your hair and do other tasks like get dressed and do your skin care before you dry your hair, so that you don't have to use a hot hairdryer for a long time
(Hair dryers can be very damaging so reduce as much time as possible.)
