The shower is where you go rinse away the grit of the day (or prepare yourself for it if you shower in the morning). It’s the best place to cool off and warm up, and it’s one of the only places you can really belt out those Broadway show tunes, judgment-free. As such, it deserves to be lovingly dressed up with all the necessary utility items and beauty routine delights. So we compiled a list of all the shower essentials that are guaranteed to elevate your routine and bathroom style.
Read through the curated shower essentials below that’ll make your bathroom and daily regimen feel more like a quick trip to a luxe spa.
- Shower Curtain Liner
Perhaps one of the most crucial things of all, your shower curtain liner will keep water from leaking, which maintains the molding and minimizes cleanup.
- Shower Drain Cover
Though small and unassuming, a shower drain cover could save you a visit from the plumber. If you have long hair or butterfingers and tend to drop small items, it’ll be especially useful.
- Shower Caddy
You need to have the best shower caddy hanging in your bathroom. Not all caddies were made equal and it’s a matter of finding one that’s going to be durable enough to last in the wet conditions of the bathroom and one that has enough space to fit everything you need.
A good shower caddy will fit comfortably over your showerhead arm and give you easy access to all the bathroom essentials, so size definitely matters.
- Loofah
A loofah is the weapon of choice for many people when it comes to how they wash, but if you prefer something else like a washcloth then that’s fine as well. Keep it hanging on your shower caddy so it has a chance to dry off in between washes and stay fresher for longer.
Caddies usually have a hook for these accessories so there’s somewhere special to keep them. Just be sure to change your loofah every couple of months so you’re always washing with something fresh.
- Exfoliating Body Scrub
Even if you don’t think of shower time as something to be enjoyed, there’s no reason you shouldn’t treat yourself every now and then. Splurge and get yourself a nice exfoliating body scrub that you can use once a week to remove dead skin and leave your skin feeling super fresh.
Salt and sugar scrubs are great choices or you can make your own concoction using things you might already have in your kitchen.
- Shower Gel
For those who prefer a shower over a bath, shower gel is usually their go-to cleansing product. These days, shower gels are more advanced than ever and the market for natural and organic products is booming.
There are some key ingredients to look for in a shower gel that indicates how good it will be for your skin so look for things like vitamin E, and essential oils for the scent. Natural options are usually better for your skin and feel great going on as well.
