I’m a beauty fan and you’re showering wrong – my method means you’ll never smell bad again but some say it’s too much
SHOWERING is something that many of us do regularly – whether it’s every day, every other day, or even once a week.
It’s something that we all know how to do, right?
Well, one beauty fan has taken to TikTok to claim that we have been showering wrong and with her method, you will never smell bad again.
Nia Kajumlo, a beauty whizz, has 84.1k followers and 1.4million likes on the video sharing platform.
The 23-year-old from Seattle regularly shares her beauty tips and tricks and her latest video has got people talking.
Nia claimed that many people smell bad, but thanks to her shower routine, you’ll never have to worry about having nasty body odour ever again.

While many TikTok users agreed that they too shower the same as Nia, many thought her method was way too much and not suitable for all people and their skin types.
She uploaded her shower advice video with the caption ‘had to be said lmao but I love you guys, this is just like showering 101 basic routine! I’ve taught you guys all my smell good steps so we just gotta get down to the basics’.
She said: “Listen, some of you stink, you guys just stink and I mean this in the most loving, big sister way, as possible.
“But basically I’m convinced that some of you don’t know how to wash your bodies, and that’s ok, because I’m here.

“Before you even get in the shower, there should be a pre-shower assessment – be honest with yourself, be real, this is not the time to not be real, ok?
“You say – how bad, on a scale of 1-10, do I smell today? How bad do I smell?

“Because there is a time and a place for a quick, little shower situation, but if you’re past a 4, you need the full thing.
“I don’t want to hear that any of you guys are washing your body with just a bar of soap and your hands, I don’t want to hear it.
“You need a loofah, you need an exfoliating glove, you need a rag, you need something that’s going to do some scrubbing, some exfoliating, you need it.
“You’re going to lather up with something that smells really good, cheap, expensive, I don’t care, but it smells good.
“You’re going to lather up and once you get the loofah wet and your body is a little bit wet, you’re going to get out of the stream of the sofa, you can even turn it off, save water, we love it.
“Then, you’re going to do a full body scrub, starting from your neck, you need to get the back of your neck too, front of your neck, chest, too.
“You always start from the top, down, because all of the dirt will trickle down.
“If you start with your legs, and then you go to your top, it’s going to trickle onto your legs, and you just cleaned those, so we don’t want that”.
But that’s not all, Nia explained that you must then repeat this process for the second time, to ensure you smell great afterwards.
She continued: “Next, after you’ve lathered everything off, you’re going to rinse off, and honey, you’re going to wash again.
“You’re going to scrub again, because sometimes you guys just scrub a little bit, but the stink is in there, it’s inside, it’s in the pores.
“So you’re going to scrub again, you’re going to do a double cleanse on your body, especially if you’ve worked out that day, you’ve been working all day long and you’re tired, you’re sweating, you’re going to double cleanse it up”.
The beauty fan posted the clip just 14 hours ago and was met with mixed thoughts – while many admitted that they do this everyday, others thought it was a bit extra.
Some also pointed out that this wouldn’t work for people with sensitive skin.
Her video has quickly gone viral and racked up a whopping 1.4million views.
It has 235.9k likes, 1,341 comments and 692 shares.
Nia later added: “Y’all can argue me down forever but I’m standing my ground.
“I exfoliate DAILY and I WASH my gloves or whatever I’m using on my body or replace them very often. you can get them at TJ Max for cheap or dollar store even.
“I’m just not getting on the soap and hands train. It’s not happening”.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments, as one person said: “Thank god I’m doing it right. Had me a little scared”.
Another added: “This is like the basics. People don’t do that?”
A third commented: “Agree with everything!”
However, another person admitted: “I don’t do all this and I get told I smell very nice constantly. Just wash your hair and body and you’re good”.
Someone else agreed: “Unfortunately it’s not gonna work for a lot of people”.
A third chimed in: “I have never been told I smell bad but I only use body wash and soap”.

Someone else stated: “Girl if I did this my skin would fall off”.
