What kind of clean do you love? Shower time is an essential part of our beauty routine, but what do our cleansing rituals say about our lifestyle? Whether you prefer a quick rinse or a lengthy steam, browse this list and and learn how to make the most of your time under the shower head.
Military Style
1 to 3 minutes
With so much already on your to-do list there's no time to waste, even in the bathroom! Your shower regimen is rapid and systematic. Since there's little time to spare, alternate shampooing and conditioning daily. And if you must occasionally skip the razor, slap on a hair minimizing deodorant instead—you'll cut the sweat and reduce your shave time in half.

Bath Basics
5 to 10 minutes
With a little more time on your schedule, this is your chance to catch up on the beauty basics. And if you've only got ten minutes, focus on exfoliation and cleansing. Slather on a purifying mask at the beginning of your shower to eliminate impurities, then section off five minutes of soak time for a full-body scrub down. Your skin deserves to glow!

Lavish Luxury
15 to 20 minutes
With efficiency out the window, this shower is perfect for those who crave time away from the world—a state of relaxation and mental repose. What will help you get there? Past your basic cleansing ritual, there’s a number of bath extras to try. Treat your hair to a deep-conditioning mask, have fun with fizzing soaps, or infuse your shower with special essential oils—this is your time to indulge.

I luxuriate in the bath/shower everyday. I love fiddling with scrubs, brushes, soaps and letting the hot water soothe my muscles.

Military style most of the time for me! My hairs colored red so I can't wash it too often or it will fade and my skins wayyy to sensitive to shave everyday so I'm in and out! Every week-week and a half i find myself having a little extra time to get that pamperin in though. love those days :)

I've done military style before-- and I never had to skip on shaving my legs or pits, and not getting a full shampoo and conditioner in. You just get creative about it. It's a good skill to learn-- for instance, if you're in a place and not sure how long the hot water heater will hold out-- or in a developing country or someplace where water is very precious. I wouldn't take a luxury shower in Jordan, for example, knowing how drastic their water situation is.

Wow. I take about 45 minutes everyday in the shower, just because I shave my underarms, arms, and legs every single day. Makes it less of a hassle to shave. I also wash my face in the shower, and give my hair a deep conditioning mask. All of the 45 minutes are used, not wasted. Wow, I'm not sure if I could shower military style lol.
