Ask yourself, how much time do you spend on your face care routine? Now, how much time do you spend looking after the rest of the skin on your body? The difference is crazy! Right?

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and works hard to protect your body from germs, the sun and pollution. It even helps to balance your body temperature - to put it simply. This World Skin Day Health Day, it’s time we give our bodies the main character lovin’ it deserves!

Great skin care begins in the shower. Be sure to check out our 5 easy ways to level up your shower routine, and see your skin look and feel infinitely better.

  1.  Have you thought about what’s really sitting on your shower shelf?

We’re all guilty of spending hundreds of dollars on fancy serums and high-tech supplements. Why isn’t the same thought given to the products you select for your shower shelf? You use them every day, after all! We’re loving the Australian-made hair & skin care range, A bit Hippy. Their natural, non-toxic and fuss-free range is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. You won’t see SLS, SLES, Sulphates or any other synthetic tongue twisters that will irritate your mind, and skin! Our shower shelf must-haves are:


Cleanser

There’s a lot more to this humble product than what the simple, straight-up name suggests. This gentle wash is a handy dandy all-in-one for the face & body. It’s got your favourite skin-soothing ingredients including Aloe Vera, Allantoin and a low-dose blend of plant-based cleansers for a gentle, everyday cleanse.

  1.  Bring the outside, in.

Make every shower feel like a luxe spa experience. Get yourself a stem of Eucalyptus and hang it over the head of your shower. Eucalyptus has been used in aromatherapy practices for thousands of years. The crisp, fresh scent has relaxing, calming properties helping to improve mood and boost energy. Eucalyptus vapour even has antibacterial properties, purifying the air and helping to clear your nose and chest when you’re feeling puffy. So go on, have a warm, steamy shower with Eucalyptus, it’s good for you!

  1.  If you care about the water going in your body, it’s time to think about what’s going on it.

Ever taken a sip of water from the tap in a new place and it tasted a little funky? Australia’s tap water is treated to meet high safety standards, but there’s often lingering suspects like chlorine, sediment, organic compounds and plastic residue affecting the taste, and your health. Our filtered drinking water systems remove up to 98% of contaminants, making your water taste better, but also be better for you.

Beyond what you consume, have you ever thought about the water coming out of your shower head? A shower filter turns normal tap water into clean and mineralised water, eliminating contaminants that have a negative impact on your hair, skin and nails without you even realising it. After just a few showers using our proprietary COREtech™ filter technology, you’ll find your hair is softer, your skin more hydrated and your nails stronger. Got coloured hair? Your colour is likely to be even brighter, for longer!

  1. Who said you can’t Gua Sha in the shower?


Ever heard of the term ‘small habits, big change’? The practice of Gua Sha embodies this concept perfectly. Why not add to the spa-day experience even more and pop a Jade Gua Sha on your shower shelf? A bit Hippy has a real Jade Gua-Sha for just $25.00! While you’re letting your conditioner do its thing, use long and short strokes to move the Gua Sha along your face - beginning at the center and sweeping in an upwards direction.

Based on an ancient healing practice to help bring blood to the surface of the skin to promote healing, Gua Sha helps to:

Stimulate circulation.
Decrease inflammation.
Reduce dark circles.
