I always take time to take a bath,I get started with the body oil,on my hair first and then the rest of the body not face.I always prefer coconut oil because it nourishes hair and gives good odor and is less viscous.I start my bath then with a shower right onto my face that lets me go fresh into the water,i finish my bath after 15-30 minutes or so.

Yes i do take a lot of time bathing,that doesn't go for only guys as human and the one's who know bathing,do use lot of time bathing and keeping tidy.This is our usual procedure when one starts a day,to keep a mind right at the place we want it to and also bathing is a physical effort that that makes us be healthy and stay fit,its a good thing if your hubby does so.

hehe, me...hmmm first i try the water...haha measuring how cold it is! hahaha i usually wash my face first i don't really wet my whole body right away, instead i wet it slowly...hehehe something like that, soap, shampoo, rinse...haha just like that i think... if i have much time,i scrub my body also... but my favorite thing to do while bathing is the rinsing part! haha coz i like showering myself with water continuously!!!

Hi acie_21 First I brush my teeth before wet my whole body, then I wet my body, wash my hair first but not rinse it. Instead of rinse, I will soap my body and rinse my hair at body at the same time. It can save time! Then I use conditioner and while waiting 2 minutes before rinse the conditioner, I wash my face. Finally, I rinse my hair and face at once That's it!

No, I don't have any bath up.. I really want one in my home, I think I can feel relax and more enjoy my bath time if I have one, hehe.. but my family have it in our villa in mountain area. When we travel and sleep in a hotel, of course there's bath up in the bathroom, I really enjoy it How about you, acie?

Hi acie_21: I was just thinking about your question. Taking a bath is such a normal part of our lives that we have taken it for granted and don't especially think about it in detail. But then you ask a question in MyLot and it takes a whole different meaning. I had to sit still and think a moment how I bath. Well, I normally shower and shampoo my hair first and brush my body with soap, after rinsing both hair and body, I use conditioner on my hair and some fragrant shower gell on my body and that's it.

Hi acie, after taking off the clothes, tie my hair and put on the shower cap. I wash my hair in every other day only. Turn on the shower and wash my hands. Applying cleanser, massage and wash my face thoroughly. I then wet my body and rub away the sticky sweat and dust after applying the liquid soap on the whole body. Rinse away the soap and the dust under the cold shower. I then would feel fresh and energetic with the fragrant smell left on my skin Happy posting

No physical exercise and no sweating why I want to wash my hair every day. I would wash my hair before showering if it’s full head big sweat Yeah, I couldn't stand the smell and sticky sweet. I’m afraid that shampooing hair daily would cause damage to the hair

i usually stand under the shower, making sure my whole body gets wet, including my hair. then, i lather my hair with shampoo and work it in for a while. then, i rinse. sometimes, i wash my hair twice, but sometimes once is enough. it varies. then, i lather my body with body wash and scrub thing, doing my whole body, including my face. I rinse off. shut the water. dry off with a towel while inside the shower. get out of the shower and put my hair in a turban. wear my clothes, brush my teeth, etc.

I wash my face or my chest first when I take a shower. It's usually the first thing that the water touches that I add soap to.

top to bottom, friend. although i go back again to the face since i wash it twice due to oiliness. i heard that this is how it should be: top to bottom since more water is going to be saved since the water runs down to get everything rinsed out .

The first thing I do when I take a bath is just soak in the warm, relaxing water! It's so relaxing just to chill in the warm relaxing water. Then I will shampoo, conditioner, than wash my body, then soak a little more! Soaking is great and I highly recommend it to relieve stress.
