00:01I just woke up.
00:02Now I have to go take another shower.
00:09Hi, I'm Channing.
00:10Hey guys, I'm Jess.
00:11And for the next three days, I'm going to be swapping my entire shower routine.
00:15Okay, so my shower routine is a little intense.
00:18To me, this counts as self-care and my me time.
00:21I just want to preface that.
00:22I wash my hands with a bar of soap,
00:24and then I apply just my normal cleanser afterwards.
00:28Wash my hands again.
00:29Then I use that same bar of soap all over my body.
00:32And then I apply my exfoliating glove.
00:35And then I rub that all over my skin.
00:36And then I'll shave whatever I need to shave.
00:38And then I will re-wash myself again with a bar of soap.
00:41Once I'm finished actually cleansing myself,
00:43I will then use a dry oil.
00:45And then I will use Aquaphor on my elbows, my knees, and my hands.
00:50That is my night routine.
00:52So in the morning, I'm in two showers a day, girl.
00:54In the morning, I will just cleanse twice.
00:56Bar of soap and then the body wash.
00:58I mean, sometimes I can barely get up to brush my teeth or wash my face.
01:03So this is going to be a struggle.
01:04I just joined a new gym, and if I don't get out of there in five minutes,
01:09the girls start knocking and they get really angry.
01:11So my shower routine consists of about five minutes of just washing the sweat off,
01:17and then rubbing a little bit of soap on my face.
01:20And then that's literally it.
01:22No.
01:23You can't even, I wouldn't even be able to do my double cleansing.
01:26I'm not even so much worried about like the exfoliating and the shaving.
01:29Like where am I going to sneak my alone time in?
01:31It just feels like a college dorm.
01:33I'm kind of excited to try this because I've been neglecting my skin.
01:36But it's definitely more products than I'm used to using.
01:39So follow me for the next three days as I unwillingly give up my shower routine.
01:44We'll see how I do.
01:46Hey guys.
01:47So I just got home from work and I had a little bit of dinner.
01:50And usually I would just go straight to the couch.
01:53But tonight I have to do an 11 step shower routine.
01:58I mean, I'm going to be the most exfoliated, smooth, lotioned person ever.
02:05Like this is definitely not something I normally do.
02:07And now I'm thinking about it.
02:09I feel really bad for Channing because she's just going to be so dry.
02:12So I literally put a piece of tape here and I'm going to just stick it.
02:16All right.
02:17Let's just get, let's just get started with this.
02:18I'm ready.
02:19I just got to the gym.
02:20So I'm going to find the shower situation and take my first five minute gym shower.
02:26Um, so JK, I don't actually want to get in because I forgot my shower shoes.
02:32I don't feel comfortable getting in there with my bare feet.
02:36So the first day one, not great.
02:39I'm not doing great.
02:42I finished my first shower routine.
02:46I feel cleaner than I've ever felt in my entire life.
02:48Look at me.
02:49I'm just a glowy, oily goddess.
02:53I'm brushing my teeth in the shower.
02:55I don't know if it's like a time saving thing that people do that.
02:58Do I just spit on the ground?
03:00For me, it just doesn't make sense.
03:02It took about 20 minutes.
03:04I kind of expected it to take longer.
03:07I think on a normal night, spending 20 minutes in the shower is not going to be as easy.
03:11And tomorrow morning, knowing that I have to get back in the shower to like do a little rinse off
03:16type thing is just seems like a lot.
03:19Hey guys, it's day two of my shower swap challenge.
03:22I remembered my shower shoes today.
03:24So I am going to head into the shower and hopefully feel comfortable enough to complete it.
03:31Good morning.
03:33So I'm back in the shower.
03:35This has become my new favorite place.
03:38So I have to do the morning routine which is basically just wash my body and use a loofah.
03:46So I just cut out the exfoliating step which I actually kind of like.
03:49That's like my favorite step.
03:51So let's just get this over with so I can get on with my life.
03:54Okay, so I just finished the shower.
03:57I just took my shower cap off.
03:59I have to say that I'm very impressed with Jessica and her ability to feel comfortable cleaning herself in a
04:05public space.
04:06I'm incredibly uncomfortable and I now have to figure out how I'm going to be able to like decompress.
04:11I literally feel like I just like rushed through everything.
04:14I like hit the hot spots and got out because I just felt very uncomfortable.
04:19I don't really understand the purpose of this but it feels really nice.
04:26I tried it.
04:28So I just finished my workout and I'm heading into the shower.
04:32I am very, very, very, very, very, very happy that this is over with.
04:37I did not enjoy it at all.
04:39I feel like I still wanted to shower again afterwards and then I like went into work feeling scrambled and
04:48like I didn't have time for myself because I didn't feel comfortable enough to like decompress in the shower.
04:52Hello.
04:53I'm back in the shower for my final morning shower and it's Sunday and nobody's going to see me and
05:01I'm not going anywhere.
05:02So I don't understand why I need to take a shower.
05:04But these are the rules of this challenge.
05:06So I'm going to follow them diligently.
05:07Having to shower twice in a day is just like nuts to me and it just takes up so much
05:13of my time.
05:14It's expensive like to use all these products so much and twice a day like it's just a big commitment.
05:21So all right, let's just get this over with.
05:27No, it wasn't that bad.
05:28Honestly, my skin is really smooth and really moisturized, really hairless and exfoliated.
05:35And then condoms wise, basically just like wasting a lot of product because you're using them twice in one day.
05:42Time takes a lot of time to do a routine like this.
05:45It's brushing your teeth in the shower.
05:48I definitely feel like I took care of myself more than I have in the last like year.
05:54So this kind of helped me kickstart that to get that back in my routine again, even if it's not
06:00twice a day or every time I'm in the shower, just like reminding myself to take care of my skin.
06:05I miss my shower routines.
06:07I miss having time to myself.
06:08I feel like I was forced to find time for myself in ways that I typically would not have.
06:12Like I was like seeking silence on the train.
06:15It just was weird to me and I still felt dirty.
06:19You're in a space that's not yours and I didn't have like all of my things that I like.
06:24I had to take like a very like aggregated shower.
06:26So I'm really glad it's over though.
06:28I hope you guys had fun and learned something along the way.
06:32Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.
06:34Bye.
