According to a new study from Herbal Essences (yes, bias alert), a morning shower can influence how well the rest of your day goes.

The survey found that after an enjoyable shower experience:
– 69% of women feel relaxed
– 56% of women feel prepared for the day
– 52% of women feel happy
– 50% of women feel attractive
And those scented products that you love so much? Keep using them. American women ages 18-35 who buy products for their scent are more likely to have gotten intimate in the past month (76%) than those who did not (68%), according to the survey. Aside from getting some serious loving, the products that smell good can also influence your social life and your physique. Here is what the survey found about women who follow their nose:
– They consider themselves social (65%) vs. those who don’t purchase products for scent (48%)
– The consider themselves spontaneous (38%) vs. those who don’t purchase products for scent (19%)
– They have exercised in the past week (81%) vs. those who don’t purchase products for scent (72%)
“At Herbal Essences, we know that fragrance has the ability to shift her hair care from a necessary routine into a pleasurable experience, and we have always provided girls with fragrant hair care options to immerse the senses and transport her to paradise right in the shower,” said Stacy Hertenstein, P&G Perfumer. “Knowing that her hair not only looks great, but smells great too, gives her the confidence she needs to be whoever she wants to be that day.”
Some other fun facts from the survey include:
Morning Spritz vs. Morning Snack: 65% of American women think skipping a shower would have a worse impact on their day than skipping breakfast
Treat Yourself: A nice hot shower is almost always welcome but with certain luxuries, it can be a real treat. 71% of women find a specialty showerhead to be the most desirable shower luxury followed by mood lighting (15%)
Time Out: American women spend an average of 19 minutes in the shower each morning.
Probably morning showers make men happy too but since beauty product companies don’t care about them as much we’ll never actually know.
So next time you’re about to hit that snooze button, think of getting a little lather and rinse on to put that extra pep in your morning step.
