Ever since I can remember, my shower time has been my me time. My time to be alone, to have a little self care and to relax. Sure when my kids were smaller, this was a lot more challenging. I remember the days of waiting until the kids were in bed before I could escape to my shower. Just having enough time to shave your legs without someone needing something was a real treat. How did we ever make it through those days?! Now that my kids are older, I have the luxury of more time to myself to turn my shower time into a mini escape of sorts with AVEENO®.

how to turn your shower into a mini escape

Today’s moms work really hard to take care of their families and manage their busy schedules. It can be challenging to find time to take care of your own needs when you are running from school, to work to after school activities and sports. Finding a little time to take care of your own needs is not always easy but it is important. You have to make the most of your alone time. You might only have 10 minutes for a shower but I propose you make the most of those 10 minutes by turning your shower into a mini escape with a few AVEENO® bath products.

Aveeno

10 Steps to turn your 10 minute shower into a mini escape with AVEENO®

  • Carve out just 10 minutes for yourself to enjoy your shower
  • Start at the top-wet your hair and apply shampoo
  • Rinse hair & apply conditioner
  • Smooth on AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® 60 SECOND IN-SHOWER FACIAL to your face.
  • Enjoy a moment of peace in the shower and let the product work it’s magic.
  • Rinse off your AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® 60 SECOND IN-SHOWER FACIAL
  • Apply some AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash with your loofah & rinse
  • Shave your legs! Yes take the time to shave your legs
  • Towel off
  • Apply body lotion
  • Ahh! Bask in the relaxation of last 10 minutes

Aveeno

AVEENO® Skin Relief Body Wash delivers a creamy and hydrating cleanse without leaving your skin dry or irritated. It is fragrance free, hypoallergenic and soap free just like the AVEENO® products you have known and trusted for years.

You may not have time for a day spa facial, but you do have time for this AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® 60 SECOND IN-SHOWER FACIAL. In the same amount of time you are taking to wash your hair, you can reap the benefits of the steam activated AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® 60 SECOND IN-SHOWER FACIAL to gently exfoliate your dead skin. With soy and lemon peel extracts, you will emerge from your shower with softer more moisturized skin. You can find these and all the AVEENO® bath products at Walmart.

    I have such dry and sensitive skin that and i use Averno. I didn’t know they had a 60 sec spa facial wash. I’ll have to get that next time I’m at store.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    Wait, have you seen my legs? Now that I’ve got regular chiro appointments with calf massages I’m being more diligent! I love Aveeno products!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 7:09 am

    It is a treat to take a longer shower without someone needing something lol. I had not heard of this Aveeno 60-second facial, but it sounds awesome.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 11:29 am

      It is a treat indeed! The 60 second facial is great

    Perfect tips!! I only think of a shower as a spa, after a race. When I take the time to just relax there for a moment.

    I like to take a good amount of time to do my nails and my toe nails, it makes me feel happy and relaxed. Plus when I’m waiting for my nails to dry, there is nothing else for me to do but rest.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 11:34 am

      yes it is really important to find little ways to relax and take care of yourself

  6. GiGi Eats says

    09/26/2017 at 8:35 am

    Ha! I need to get that DO NOT DISTURB sign 😉 Although then my husband might get offended – hahahaha! WORTH the risk 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 11:38 am

      OH it’s worth the risk-sometimes you need your alone time!

  7. Heather says

    09/26/2017 at 9:26 am

    I definitely need to use this time as a mini escape for me too! #client

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 11:43 am

      We all need some me time every once in a while!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 11:43 am

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 1:41 pm

      It’s so important to find time for yourself even a few minutes.

    I’ve got to pick up the 60-second facial on the next trip to Walmart!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 1:42 pm

      I really like it! Who doesn’t want a mini facial 🙂

  11. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    09/26/2017 at 1:55 pm

    Yes, in the shower is when I shave. Sometimes I wonder how we got so “busy” it’s hard to fit in a shower!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 5:29 pm

      I know! Last night I realized after dinner that I forgot to shower-who does that?

  12. Carmy @ carmyy.com says

    09/26/2017 at 2:13 pm

    I need like 6 of those do not disturb time signs! I love Aveeno product!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 5:29 pm

      ha ha! At least you don’t have kids running in (yet!)

  13. Debbie says

    09/26/2017 at 2:48 pm

    I really need that in-shower facial. Downloaded the coupon!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 5:29 pm

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 5:30 pm

      We sure do! Mental health 🙂

  15. Andrea Signor says

    09/26/2017 at 5:38 pm

    So true. We absolutely deserve that mini escape to decompress and reset after (or before) a day of craziness. Thank you for validating this!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 7:40 pm

      We do! And we should not feel guilty about taking some much needed self care

  16. Aliah says

    09/26/2017 at 7:33 pm

    I love how a shower can provide an escape even for a few minutes. Thanks for putting these Avenno products on my radar–especially the in-shower facial. I was looking for a new exfoliator!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 7:42 pm

      Oh you will love it! And yes even a mini escape can do wonders

  17. Michelle Hartgraves says

    09/26/2017 at 9:04 pm

    A relaxed mom is definitely a happier mom. Doing something for our self is so vital to our well being.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/26/2017 at 9:10 pm

      It sure is! I hope you find some time for yourself too

      • Michelle Hartgraves says

        09/27/2017 at 9:52 pm

        Thank you! I do too…

    I love Aveeno products! I have dry skin and their products really help with that.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      09/27/2017 at 7:05 am

      Yes I agree they are so gently and perfect for dry skin
