Influencers push for extra washing

Self-care advocate Xara Beqele claims that double cleansing will change a person's life. Digital creator Terree Ann describes the method as a hygiene must for proper cleaning. She argues that using only hydrating body wash is comparable to applying lotion without removing dirt.

Trends spread across platforms

The hashtag #ShowerTok on TikTok hosts many devotees of this new trend. A recent research finding indicates that Gen Z takes longer showers than any other age group. Beauty writer Valeza Bakolli wrote about the process for UK retailer Boots.
