Take off your glasses and take out any contacts. Take off your watches, necklaces, and/or any other accessories.
Consider taking the occasional cold or cool shower, especially when it is hot and humid out or after working out vigorously.
To check that there isn’t any more shampoo still in your hair, wet it and then squeeze your hair and watch the color of the water that runs out. If you still see a little bit of shampoo in it, keep rinsing and repeat! Always rinse your hair with warm water, which helps open the cuticles up. This allows your hair to really soak in your conditioner.
Some people prefer to use a combination shampoo and conditioner that doesn’t require a separate step to apply. Rinse out your conditioner with cold water to seal your cuticles up and maintain all of that hydration.
You can use basic soap instead of a special face cleanser. This is better than not washing your face, but overuse of the wrong kind of soap on your face can dry out and irritate your skin.
Shaving legs and armpits is very common for girls and women in some countries, but you can be clean without it. Ultimately it’s a personal decision, so speak to a woman you trust if you’re not sure what to do, and also consider the customs of your culture. Exfoliating legs with a body scrub helps remove dead skin for a cleaner shave. Wet and lather shaving cream or conditioner on your legs. Using a razor, shave upward, against the grain of your hair. Start with your ankles and work your way up. Don’t forget the tops of your feet at the end. Shave slowly to avoid cutting yourself, especially your knees and the back of your legs because you might hit a bump and cut yourself. For your underarms, lather shaving cream or conditioner on your underarms and shave (slowly) upward and downward—underarm hair grows in both directions.
