The best way to optimize your hair, face, and skin is to dial in a routine. Use the "Everything Shower" as a guide throughout each week to complete your To-Do's!Dr. Kristen starts her shower off with a 2 minute cold water immersion. This has benefits for thyroid and also makes you feel great! Next, she tackles body and facial cleanser using her favorite "Gentle Cleanser" by ZO. After cleansing comes exfoliation using silicone scrubbers - NOT a luffa! Last, the hair routine with double cleansing a couple times a week - not every day.The post-shower routine consists of exosomes for scalp health and coconut oil or bakuchiol.
