This video teaches men a seven-step shower system for improved hygiene and scent. The presenter challenges common showering practices, highlighting research showing that starting with soap can spread bacteria instead of removing it. The video then outlines a self-care protocol and other tips for an optimal shower experience.
The SELFCARE method, as detailed in the video, is a seven-step showering protocol designed to maximize hygiene and scent. Each step builds upon the next, using products in a specific order for optimal effectiveness. Here's a breakdown:
S - Scrub: Begin before showering, while still dry, using a brush or African net sponge to exfoliate and remove dead skin. This prepares the skin for subsequent steps and prevents bacteria spread.
E - Eliminate Hair: Shave after exfoliating but before wetting your body. This minimizes ingrown hairs and bumps, resulting in a closer shave.
L - Lather Hair: Shampoo your hair to clean the scalp and remove product buildup. This step is crucial for conditioner effectiveness.
F - Fix Hair: Apply conditioner and leave it in while proceeding to the next steps. The conditioner will hydrate, smooth, and strengthen the hair while it soaks.
C - Cleanse Body: Apply body wash after exfoliating and shaving, as it spreads more easily and works better on softened skin.
A - Acne/Face Treatment: Apply acne treatments like Poxil, allowing them to sit for 30-60 seconds before rinsing. This ensures the treatment's effectiveness.
R - Rub Lotion: After lightly towel-drying while still damp, apply a moisturizing lotion containing glycerin or shea butter to lock in hydration and fragrance.
E - Enhance Scent: Finish with a body spray or perfume to enhance and prolong the scent.
