Start at your feet and brush upward.

]]> 46350 2 34 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/34.jpg Regulate the water Adjust the water to a warm temperature; very hot water dries out the skin.

]]> 46351 3 41 Tip If you have access to a sauna, spend five minutes beforehand working up a sweat to open your pores.

]]> 46352 4 47 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/47.jpg Wash your hair first Wash your hair first and body last. Scrubbing strips your skin of some of its natural oils — after which you don’t want it exposed to harsh, hot water for long.

]]> 46353 5 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/57.jpg Lather up a loofah Lather up a loofah with the cleanser of your choice. Because it dries completely between uses, it’s less likely to attract bacteria than a washcloth. Plus, it exfoliates your skin.

]]> 46354 6 67 Tip If you have dry or sensitive skin, use a pH-balanced cleanser.

]]> 46355 7 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/72.jpg Scrub down Scrub your body from top to bottom, in that order. You want the dirt to head down the drain!

]]> 46356 8 78 Tip Add rosemary oil to your loofah and rub any dimply areas. Fluid retention contributes to cellulite, and rosemary is a natural diuretic.

]]> 46357 9 87 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/87.jpg End with a cold blast Give your body a five-second blast of cold water right before you turn off the water; it improves circulation and helps tighten skin.

]]> 46358 10 95 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/95.jpg Pat yourself dry Gently pat yourself dry with a bath towel; you don’t want to rub away your skin’s natural oils.

]]> 46359 11 102 Tip Towels made of 100% Egyptian cotton are stronger, softer, and more absorbent than those made of other fabrics.

]]> 46360 12 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/39952/109.jpg Apply moisturizer For better absorption, apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp.

]]> 46361 13 115 Fact The average shower in the United States lasts 8.2 minutes.
