How To Feel Fresh Without Having To Shower

Showering daily sounds great, but when your schedule gets crazy, sometimes there just isn't enough time to prioritize it — and that's totally fine. There are ways to feel freshly showered when you haven't, so you never have to compromise that just-stepped-out-of-the-shower mood when you have a million things to check off of your to-do list.

A few no-shower tips will definitely come in handy, if you spent your afternoon running around doing errands on your day off. Want to feel like you bathed without getting in the shower? Keep sweat and oils from lingering with a little hair fragrance mist — yep, that's a thing, and it's not the dry shampoo you already have in the cabinet. It'll add a little shine and a delicious smell that makes your style look and feel completely refreshed without even getting wet. No rinse and repeat necessary.

Or if your face tends to become oily by the time you head out for your lunch break, there's zero need to bring backups of every step of your morning beauty routine to work with you. Simply stash a few effective oil-absorbing papers onto your face to remove unwanted shine without smudging anything, or feeling like you've dried out your face. So, no worries: Stress-free days of using freshening up your skin and hair without showering are ahead.
