Do you have a shower routine, as in do your bathing tasks in a certain order? Do you wash your legs while showering?


I do pretty much the same routine when I shower. Wet my hair, add shampoo, scrub my armpits and other crevices with a bar of soap, apply face wash, rinse out shampoo, if I'm using conditioner I then add that, then I rinse off all the soap and finally rinse out the conditioner if I used it. I almost never wash my legs unless they are visibly dirty or I'm particularly sweaty.

My aunt said I would take a bath on the way to my own funeral. If it's a hair washing day, I do that first so I can leave on the hair mask to wash out last. I do wash my legs and feet every time. My dream is a rainfall shower head, so when we eventually remodel the bathroom, that's a must have.

No particular order for showering, just start from head to toe. (I don't care for taking baths.)

If I need to wash my hair I do that first, before the rest of me gets wet. I use purple shampoo so need to avoid getting it on my skin, and I rinse it off the shower tiles as soon as it's done. After that it's get wet, use the soap all over, then rinse.

Of course I wash my legs! I wash everything. Hands, then face, hair, body, shave, rinse, wash hands again, dry off.

If washing my hair I do that first and put conditioner just on the ends. I wash everything from the shoulders first down to my feet. I use face wash last then rinse off.

Before getting into the shower I put on face wash. Once in the shower, I wash my face and rinse it off. Then I wash from top down, shave anything I'm going to shave, then wash my hair, shampoo only, and rinse it out. I do wash my legs but not always my feet because I worry about falling.

Shampoo first, then rinse, and the conditioner. While that's still on my hair, I wash. Shave, if necessary. Finish my hair and done!

Full rinse with a bit of a scalp massage to really get my hair wet. Then wash face. If it's a hair wash day, that's next, followed by conditioner including finger combing/detangling it thru, and I let sit it while I do the rest. Then it's wash time with body wash and a loofa, top to bottom, yes, including legs and feet. Then I rinse off, followed by shaving if it's time, rinse off, squeeze the water out of my hair and get out.

I guess so but its not really concious. Just start with my hair, then face and move from cleanest to dirtiest from there.

I got on her procrastinating today’s shower so I guess this is my sign to get with it. :lol:

I wash and condition my hair and then wash the rest of me. After turning 70 I no longer have to shave my legs or arm pits.

I am 67 and no longer have to do armpits, unfortunately my legs still need shaved.

I find it very strange when people don't wash their legs! I start with them after I do the main half of my body, toes and feet included.
They get washed, in a sense, from the soap I use on my upper body getting rinsed off. It may not make sense to a lot of people but I've done it my whole life and never had a problem.
