3 Ways To Make The Most Of Your Outdoor Shower
Over the past decade, outdoor showers have slowly gained in popularity. However, often people think they would like an outdoor shower and then only use it a few times a year or regulate its use to before and after swimming. If you have an outdoor shower that isn't getting as much use as you originally thought it would, here are some ways to boost your motivation to shower outdoors.
Keep a Set of Bath and Body Supplies Outside
If you have to collect shower gel, shampoo, and moisturizer from your indoor bath and take it outside every time you use your outdoor shower, you will be less likely to use your outdoor shower spontaneously. You should keep a complete shower kit outside, in a waterproof cabinet next to your shower. However, you should think about using different items than you have in your indoor shower. Varying the scents and brands you have indoors and outdoors can motivate you to switch up where you shower daily.
Create Self Care Rituals That Are Only Done Outside
By creating rituals that are only done in your outdoor shower, you will create a need for your outdoor bathing space. For example, an outdoor shower is an excellent place to do bathing routines that take more time such as dry brushing or using a pumice stone to get rid of callouses. Moving these rituals outside will make them more enjoyable for you, allowing you to use them as a way to relax. However, you should opt for bathing rituals that you only do once or twice a week unless you plan to shower outside every day.
Move a Workout Space Near Your Outdoor Shower
If your main workout area is inside, consider setting up a secondary workout space near your outdoor shower. Putting a yoga mat and some free weights under an awning will allow you to enjoy several types of workouts outside, such as pilates, yoga, or strength training. After you finish your workout, you will be able to jump immediately into your shower, thoroughly enjoying the warm (or cool) massage of water on your skin and completely refreshing yourself before you head inside.
An outdoor shower is a great addition to a home and to your bath and body care routine. Don't let it be just decorative. Instead, use these three tips to make the most of your outdoor shower and get you and your family using it regularly.
