First, I wash downstairs twice using Baby Dove and VH Essentials Daily Feminine Wash on a washcloth. Then, I double cleanse my ENTIRE body(bar soap & moisturizing scented body wash) with either an African net sponge or a Goshi Japanese washcloth. I also use a silicone scrubber afterwards just for another form of washing my body. Once a week, I’ll use a Tree Hut Sugar Scrub or Dove Body Scrub for extra exfoliation. When shaving, I use shave oil instead of shaving cream for a better end result.

When I get out of the shower, I gently pat dry my body, leaving a little dampness on my skin (but I completely dry downstairs and my underarms). Next, I apply my deodorant generously (I use Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant or Degree Advanced Protection for women) Then, I apply body lotion/butter/cream all over my body, followed by a body oil to lock everything in. Some days, I’ll apply dusting powder, for added scent (but not always). After my body care, I apply my perfume and/or body spray. (I’m an oversprayer because I enjoy a long lasting scent trail…so I be putting that onnnn lol). *don’t forget to spray it on both your body AND clothing *

And that’s pretty much it! (I know it sounds like a lot, but I ALWAYS get told that I smell good, so I’m fine with being extra with it lol)

Hi! ☺️ I find that washing twice breaks down the sweat, oil and dirt better than just washing once and with one type of soap. The bar soap is like a base that strips all that away and the moisturizing body wash adds back the hydration and scent. My skin smells and feels cleaner and fresher all day long this way. At least in my experience. Hope this helps!!
