The holiday season may be behind us, but the glowing promise of a new year means that the best is yet to come. After a few weeks of party-hopping, late nights and early mornings, every inch of your body has likely been screaming for a reset. But if you don’t have the time to check into an all-day spa, we've found you the next best thing.
The Korean approach to the ‘everything shower’ is your proven, tried-and-true template for treating your entire body to a thorough refresh. Here’s how.

These hydrogel patches are a targeted fix for tired, dehydrated under-eyes. Infused with snail secretion filtrate, they deliver a powerful hit of hydration while soothing and repairing delicate skin. The formula helps reduce puffiness and dullness, leaving the under-eye area looking visibly brighter and fresher. Each tub contains two patch sizes, so you can tailor your application based on your skin’s needs that day.
You may not be trying to dismantle a depraved gaming tournament run by the elite like Seong GiHun, but all the hours of doomscrolling have likely been taking a toll on your eyes. Allow COSRX to ride to your rescue with its hydrating hydrogel patches. Conveniently designed to fit the delicate area under the eyes, the patches impart a cooling sensation to reduce puffiness and ensure that you are no longer playing Russian roulette with dullness and fatigue.
There’s a reason why this brand has been going viral on social media lately. The Wonder hair oil is basically liquid gold for your hair. The formula offers a blend of oils—sunflower, moringa, avocado, argan, marula—that deeply penetrate rather than just sit on top of your strands. It works wonderfully as a pre-styling treatment, a finish serum as well as an overnight treatment if your hair needs some extra TLC. The scent is subtle and clean; and the lightweight texture means you can go ham without having to worry about your hair looking like an oil spill. Even better, it forms a protective layer that cushions your strands against the heat from blow-dryers and styling tools.
This is the multitasker your hair routine has been crying for, especially during the festive season. It’s an oil, but not as you’d like to imagine. It’s super lightweight, absorbs almost immediately and leaves behind nothing but softness. As the name suggests, the recovery oil is refined with ingredients like hydrolysed silk and keratin and a blend of nourishing oils to recover your hair’s natural shine. Use it on damp hair before styling for heat protection, or smooth over dry hair for instant gloss and frizz control.
Forget everything you’ve ever known about scrub-lather-and-dash routines. The ‘everything shower’ is here to ensure that you take a break from the hectic hustle of the everyday and give your mind, body and senses some time to hit reset. Unsurprisingly, the process begins well before you’ve even stepped into the shower.
There may be a host of formulas and products clamouring for your attention but before you get into the business of slathering and scrubbing, it's essential to set up a serene atmosphere. Consider lighting a scented candle or two, pouring some aromatic bath salts and looking up a relaxing spa playlist to soothe the senses.
In keeping with the head-to-toe pampering that is on the menu, you’ll want to start by turning your attention to your hair first. If the frosty bite of winter has your strands screaming for nourishment, you’ll want to apply a hydrating hair mask for 10 to 15 minutes before stepping under the blast of the shower.
While the hair mask gets to work, you’ll want to pamper your body. Dry skin and winters are known to be besties, but you can stay one step ahead by brushing away any dry, flaky skin with a body brush. A gentle, moisturising scrub or body polish can also help keep rough patches away on the knees, elbows and other areas prone to dryness.
Once you have set the stage, it is time to get to the actual showering part of your self-care ritual. Hoping to maximise your time under the jets? Here's guide to treating your hair, skin and body to an indulgent experience.
While the hair mask may have mopped up any dryness in your strands, it helps to feed brittle wintry hair with additional moisture by way of a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. This ensures that each strand feels luxurious, soft to the touch and well cared for.
Now, it's time to extend the courtesy to your body. Treat tired feet to some fortifying care with a foot mask and follow suit with a glove-style hand mask. Once done, gently rinse out any impurities from the rest of your body with a perfumed body cleanser that will have you smelling like a dream.
Once you've stepped out and swaddled yourself in a fluffy waffle robe, it's time to keep the self-care party going with a few essential finishing flourishes.
After all the late nights that dominated your social calendar, treat the under-eye area to some hydrating care with eye patches. Don’t forget to invite your pout to the party with a lip mask that will keep flaky, chapped lips at bay.
With your skin and body riding on a high from the individualised care it has just received, you’ll want to seal in your handiwork before the wintry air can wick moisture away. Follow through with your go-to moisturiser and SPF (if your 'everything shower' happens to be a daytime affair) and slather on a generous layer of body lotion, paying special attention to nooks and crevices that can get easily ignored.
Your hair, obviously, deserves the same post-shower care. Follow through on the good work by treating your strands to a smoothening serum, leave-in treatment or hair oil to keep unruly flyaways and frizz at bay.
