that is a completely decent shower routine, tho i would add a face wash if u dont do that outside of the shower. some ppl like to use specific exfoliating products (such as sugar scrubs) to help with removing dead skin, tho using tools like a poof/loofah (idk what they’re actually called) to apply ur body wash can also help with this. exfoliating is really helpful if u choose to shave bc it can help prevent ingrown hairs. lmk if u have more questions :)

generally, this isn’t a bad shower routine at all. you’re clean and comfortable and that’s all that matters. i will say though, that if you want a good exfoliant then sugar scrub is a pretty good option. i also use an african net sponge to get hard to reach parts like my back. face wash is good too, but sometimes i do it out of the shower. just depends. and make sure you use lotion after. but generally, this is decent self cleansing! :)

So there is a big difference between what people do to feel/ look good and what is necessary for hygiene purposes. To be clean and hygienic you are doing everything you need to. However it can be fun and make you feel and look better to do some extra stuff (like people have listed here). But you don’t need to do that unless you want to

Sugar scrubs are a good thing to add !! Not necessary, but definitely makes you feel cleaner afterwards!

tbh as long as your body/face is clean and you don’t stink, you’re good! the overconsumption era makes it seem like you need a 20 step routine, but you don’t! unless you wanna do all of that! just having a good washcloth that you change regularly, good soap/face wash/shampoo, deodorant, you’re good! and always remember to moisturize and use sunscreen to protect your skin. as others said, no soap inside your privates!

Depends on your hair and skin but I shampoo twice, leave conditioner on for a bit while washing body and/or shaving, body scrub every now and then, cleanse face twice, also might incorporate a second leave in conditioner soon. I know some people don’t thoroughly wash everything so getting into all the nooks and crannies can add up in time along with everything else, especially when shaving

like others have said, cleansing your face in the shower could be a good addition, just make sure the water isn’t too hot. I also like to rinse my hair with cold water. Id recommend staying away from fragrance (parfum) in any product. I have very sensitive skin so I use recommend vani cream products. As for exfoliating, sugar scrubs are personally too abrasive, so I will gently DRY brush before shower. Don’t exfoliate too many times a week. I only do it 1-2 times a week.

invest in a sugar scrub I rlly like the ones from tree hut

This is good! But if you want to then lotion is also a really easy and inexpensive thing to add!

It rlly depends on ur preferences. For me I have two shampoos(one clarifying and other is a normal one for my hair porosity) a conditioner. Then I have a bar soap and wash cloth. Then I have baby oil for shaving, African net thingy, a glycolic acid body wash and vitamin c one that you leave on for a couple of mins-and when I use that I’ll typically go in with my face wash or I’ll gua sha(for lymphatic drainage)

also you can use glycolic acid (like someone else mentioned). If you’re skins not too dry, you can take non alcohol witch hazel and with a cotton pad, rub on areas like behind ear to get extra clean.

If you don’t wanna consistently buy a new product (like a sugar scrub), you can get an exfoliating net or gloves which will do the same thing and you replace them much less often than scrubs and things like that. A lil exfoliation for less $$

Your routine looks good from a necessity standpoint! I personally take awhile in the shower because I use a scalp scrub, shampoo twice, comb my conditioner through my hair, use a unscented bar soap for my body, follow up with benzoyl peroxide cleanser under my arms to minimize BO (a me issue but it works lol), wash my hands so there’s no benzoyl peroxide left on them (it can bleach hair), rinse my conditioner out, wash the conditioner off my hands (I have acne prone skin), and wash my face
