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

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. Dove Men+Care Thick & Strong Fortifying 2in1 Shampoo + Conditioner cleans and strengthens hair so it’s left looking fuller

The best shower gel for men cleanses thoroughly without leaving skin dry. Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body Wash’s MicroMoisture technology helps to lock in moisture. For rougher areas like knees and elbows, enlist the Dove Men+Care Shower Tool, too

Choose a product which hydrates as well as cleanses. Use warm water, not hot, to rinse it off to help minimize dryness. Doing this last in the shower will also mean your face is damp for shaving, which helps give smoother results

The steam from a shower can help to soften facial hair, so it’s easier for your razor to cut through stubble

Reduce the chances of shaving rash due to dryness by applying post-shave balm after your shower. It will help to keep skin smooth and comfortable

Waiting until your body has cooled down after a shower before applying anti-perspirant will help it perform to its best potential. Hot showers open skin’s pores, making it less receptive to any anti-perspirant applied afterwards
