There can be few things better than ending a busy day with a hot shower. But let's be honest, the shared bathrooms in most dorms aren't very luxurious. Places to swim and relax after a long day full of extracurricular activities, homework and study sessions.
Since your time in the college shower acts as a way to relax your body *and* your mind, you deserve to make the most of it. So here are five ways to freshen up your shower for the fall semester!
Add new foods to your daily routine.
One way to freshen up your shower routine is to add new products to the mix to help you relax, like Tree Hut's latest line, Moonlight Glow! From shea sugar scrubs to wellness mists and whipped shea butter for the body, every product is designed to help you relax and feel deeply calm, perfect if you're stressed out about exams. Come this weekend or make an appointment.
Featuring the likes of Snow Mushroom, Crushed Amethyst, and an advanced aromatherapy blend, Moonlight Glow products not only exfoliate and dehydrate your skin, but also help balance your mind and body so you can pass the test or shine.
Bring comfortable shower shoes.
If you're going to college for the first time and have never shared a bathroom with people outside of your family before, the idea of wearing your shoes to the bathroom might seem a little silly. While it's weird not to be barefoot when showering, it's hygienic and protects your feet from fungus and bacteria in the joint area, so shower shoes are a must.
Before you take your old rubber sneakers to school, try them on at home in the shower to see if they're comfortable, dry quickly, or are durable enough not to slip. Out and about, shower after a sweat at the campus gym.
Take some time for yourself.
Finding roommates, seeing your best friends on campus every day, and catching up with your classmates is fun, but it can be exhausting and hard to find the time to do it. So enjoy your alone time in the shower. Put on your favorite playlist and sing along, let the water relax you and pamper your skin with something like Tree Hut Shea Sugar Moisturizing Scrub and Tree Hut Moisture Foaming Body Wash. Ocean Glow by Tree Hut.
Ocean Glow products transform your shower into a soothing and calming experience with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, iridescent algae and green microalgae that heal, restore and rejuvenate. Ingredients and fragrances bring balance and harmony, pamper the skin and take bath time to the next level. After stepping out of the shower, lock in moisture with Ocean Glow Whipped Shea Body Butter to continue to restore balance and celebrate your moment!
Humidity during and after bathing .
A shower isn't complete without satisfying your skin! And with Tree Hut's Tropic Glow series, you can hydrate your skin during and after the shower.
Start with Tropic Glow Sparkling Gel Firming and Energizing Shower Gel and Tropic Glow Shea Sugar Firming Scrub, gently massage into skin while showering - it's a great exfoliator and moisturizer before shaving. Since shaving with a razor can sometimes leave skin feeling dry, add Tropic Glow Shave Oil for an even glide without itchiness, dry skin, nicks or bumps.
After drying, apply a firming whipped shea butter to the body! Moisturizing while skin is moist helps skin absorb all the moisturizing ingredients like kupuvaku oil, guarana extract and pistachio seed oil, bringing out your inner glow and leaving you confident, positive and radiant. Finally, finish your shower with a shimmer spray to fix the wonderful scent on your skin and keep it fresh!
Say positive affirmations in the shower.
Taking a bath is one of the easiest places to exercise your mind. You have time to clear your head, you're not trapped in a toxic social media role, and you're free from the distractions of everyday student life.
Next time you shower, incorporate positive affirmations to create a more mindful and peaceful space. Whether you say it out loud or think to yourself, as the warm water hits your skin, you'll feel relaxed from head to toe, glowing inside and out.
And don't forget to add products from Tree Hut's Tropic Glow collection to your positive shower routine, as they bring out your inner glow and help cultivate confidence and positivity, just like affirmations.
