Men’s shower gel and beyond: making the most of your shower

Here’s a guide to making the most of your morning shower to get the best hair, skin and shaving results from your products.

```
Hair.
```
Washing your hair first means any shampoo residue left behind on your skin will get washed away while you continue with the rest of your shower
2
```
Body
```
The best shower gel for men cleanses thoroughly without leaving skin dry. Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body Wash’s MicroMoisture technology helps to lock in moisture. For rougher areas like knees and elbows, enlist the help of an exfoliating wash like Dove Men+Care Deep Clean Body Wash

Face
```
When cleansing your face, use warm water (not hot) to wash to help minimise dryness. Doing this last in the shower will also mean your face is damp for shaving, which helps give smoother results
4
```
Shaving
```
The steam from a shower can help to soften facial hair, so it’s easier for your razor to cut through stubble
5
```
Post-shave
```
Reduce the chances of shaving rash by applying post-shave balm after your shower. It will help to keep skin smooth and comfortable
6
```
Deodorant
```
Waiting until your body has cooled down after a shower before applying antiperspirant deodorant will help it perform to its best potential. Hot showers open skin’s pores, making it less receptive to any antiperspirant applied afterwards
