The newest trend Gen Z is obsessed with is the “everything shower."
The "everything shower" entails taking an extremely warm, steamy shower for two to four hours, soaping up every nook and cranny while they blast their favorite music.
On TikTok, the indulgent practice has gone viral, with #EverythingShower racking up over 168.9 million views.
Social media influencer Kourv Annon, 22, makes a point of taking an everything shower once a month for about three hours, but others are doing it more frequently.
Baking influencer Nicole — known only by her first name — opts for one once a week.
She went on to detail the following steps to her weekly ritual — which includes washing her face, shaving her entire body, exfoliating away all of her dead skin cells, and rubbing a charcoal scrub onto her armpits.
According to an instructional video posted by TikTok-verified, board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, a painstaking priming process like Nicole’s is nearly perfection.

“If you’re waiting til the end of your shower to rinse out your conditioner, that conditioner can sit on the skin, clog your pores and lead to back and chest acne.”
She then advised exfoliating the skin before shaving with shaving gel in order to reduce the risk of irritation and razor bumps.
But some are lukewarm on the trend.
TikTok detractor named Carly said in a post that she dreads the hour long shower routine.
