Q&A for How to Shower Quickly

Showering is not required by law. However, you should use a shower or a bath to keep yourself clean. You are more prone to sickness and other bad things such as acne if you don't.

Use a timer, like a kitchen timer or one on your phone. Set it to go off a few minutes apart, leaving you just enough time in between to get stuff done.

Put the 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner in your hair, then leave it in while you wash your face. Then rinse everything off at once.

Hot water can damage your hair and skin over time - you're basically mildly burning yourself.

You could, if you don't plan on washing your hair, but your hair will still get wet and possibly tangled in the net. This is why a shower cap is more commonly used.

A lot of people do everyday, but some experts say that washing hair every two or three days is a healthier option. All in all, it really depends on your hair type and personal preference.

Dead skin can be removed by simply using an exfoliating scrub or a scrubbing brush in the shower. This does not apply to dead skin on the feet, however, which you can file away with a foot file, or get filed/shaved off professionally during a pedicure. Some people get microdermabrasion done all over their bodies, but this is expensive. Once you have exfoliated dead skin away, and you have dried off, you must moisturize your body, as exfoliating causes the skin to lose natural oils.

If it is cold, then you can shower with warm water. Do not use cold water during cold weather, because you might get sick.

Either bar soap or body wash is fine.

Yes, you should. Changing the temperature slowly gives your body more time to adjust.

There is always time to shower. Consider taking a short shower before bed, with that strict schedule you may need a nice warm shower to relax your body before going to sleep.

Depending on your hair length and thickness, a small amount in the palm of your hand should generally be fine. About 1 tsp should be fine for most people with short hair; 1-1.5 tsp is ideal for thin to medium thickness shoulder length hair; and 1.5-2.5 tsp works for thin or medium thickness long hair of any length above the waist. Add about an extra 0.5 tsp for thick hair.

Yes. Without soap, your skin will remain greasy and dirty, even if you thoroughly wash it with water.

Try tipping your head back when you put the shampoo in your hair and keep it tipped back the shampoo is washed out.

Nope. Bringing electronic devices into contact with water is a surefire way to get electrocuted, or to damage said electronic devices.

It depends on your hair and the brand and quality of the shampoo and conditioner. Buy a travel size of the 2-in-1 product you plan to use and see how it works for your hair.

Try getting a body scrub, like Sea Kissed or Blackberry Sugar Scrub from Softsoap. They smell great and clean well.

Try using a song as a timer; by following along, you can tell when the song is almost over and you need to hurry up. For shampoo, focus on your scalp and lather for a few seconds, then rinse and put on conditioner focusing on the ends of your hair. Then use your body wash, lather, and rinse. Lastly, rinse your conditioner.

After you shampoo, try putting conditioner on the ends of your hair and massage it in. You can also bring a hairbrush in the shower with you, which helps.

You should use soap or shower gel to lather up your feet with your hands. A cloth is optional.

It has many benefits, such as being able to fit a shower into a tight schedule, or simply saving the time to do something else.

You can use a combination shampoo and conditioner, that will save a little bit of time. You also don't have to wash your hair every time you shower, so you can use a shower cap if you're not going to be washing it.

Showering for less than a minute is unlikely to leave you feeling fully clean. For a truly effective quick shower, it is generally recommended to take at least two minutes.

Use dry shampoo and style your hair to hide any grease. Wash your face and use deodorant and a moderate amount of perfume.

You can keep a clock near the shower to check the time periodically.

Try listening to your favorite music while showering and timing yourself to help manage your routine. Focus on areas that require less attention, remind yourself that you’ve already washed certain parts, and imagine an urgent reason to finish quickly.

You don't need to use soap on all parts of your body every day, but you should clean your armpits, groin, feet, hands, and face daily.

If you're under 7, it might be wise to wait until you're older to shower alone, as there's a risk of injury or accidents. If you're over 7, explain to your parents that you understand the safety precautions, like not running in the bathroom or making the water too hot. You can also suggest leaving the door unlocked for safety, so your parents can assist if needed, but assure them you can shower independently.

Play music and sing along. Lather up your hair and create a fun hairstyle. Use shower-safe markers to create art.

Rub shampoo or conditioner thoroughly around your scalp, then rinse well while continuing to scrub. You can also use baby powder to absorb the oil without taking a shower.
