Experts suggest that the body part you first lather in the shower reveals shocking information about your personality, from how you interact with others to feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders.
When we think of daily habits, showering is one of the most routine tasks. But experts say the order in which you wash different body parts can reveal certain personality traits.
Let’s explore what your shower habits say about you.
Face
People who start with their face probably place a lot of value on how they’re perceived and attach great importance to appearance.
The face is the first point of contact for communication, so people who wash their face first often care about how others see them and may be a bit self-critical.
According to lifestyle expert Anu Mukherjee, these people “love money and it shows!” She also says that “others sometimes find it difficult to get along with you because they don’t always understand your point of view.”
Arms and Hands
Those who scrub their arms and hands first may value strength, control, and independence. Hands and arms are often associated with action, work, and outreach, traits commonly found in goal-oriented individuals who aren’t afraid to tackle challenges head-on.
These people are likely proactive in life and prefer to confront problems directly rather than avoid them. They also take pride in what they can achieve through their efforts.
Chest
If you wash your chest first, it’s associated with people who are self-assured and grounded, who usually follow logic rather than emotion. The chest is close to the heart, and those who start here may feel more connected to their core values. They’re often seen as reliable, perhaps a bit reserved, but generally rational in their approach to life.
“You are often pragmatic, honest, and loyal. Unfortunately, you are also naturally stressed because you probably want to do things right,” Mukherjee writes.
Head or Hair
People who love discipline and order usually begin by cleaning their head or hair, the body part closest to the brain. This behavior suggests an analytical personality, often with a tendency toward intellectual or creative pursuits.
These individuals may also prioritize mental clarity and cleanliness, indicating a desire to expand knowledge.
In addition to having “the temperament of an intellectual and an artist,” Mukherjee says “you are a romantic who needs love.”
Shoulders or Back
If you choose to wash your shoulders or back first, it may indicate a feeling of burden or responsibility. The back often carries weight, so people who start here may feel a sense of duty to others or even a hidden burden they quietly manage.
These silent supporters, those to whom others turn in difficult times, tend to prioritize the needs of others, sometimes at the expense of their own well-being.
About this personality type, Mukherjee says: “They say ‘carry the weight of the world on your shoulders,’ and that’s exactly what you do, sometimes until you’re exhausted. Overall, this makes you a loyal person you can rely on.”
Armpits
If you start with your armpits, it indicates strong social bonds and a loyal nature. You are a dear friend, and if you feel strongly about someone, you go all in and there’s no room for halfway. You love with your whole heart or not at all, and your loved ones recognize this genuine intensity.
“But be careful,” Mukherjee warns. “You can sometimes be a little naive and lack self-confidence.”
Genitals
Reports suggest that people who are naturally reserved or introverted are likely to start their shower by washing their genitals. You may feel more comfortable in smaller, familiar circles than in large social environments where you’re not always in the spotlight. But those who know you well appreciate your authenticity and kindness and often consider you one of the most genuine people they know.
Although standing up for yourself can sometimes be a challenge, you have a warm and comforting presence that makes others feel at ease in your company.
Random Parts
If you wash your body parts in random order, it may reveal a spontaneous and flexible personality.
People with this habit are usually flexible, open-minded, and love change. They often enjoy going with the flow and don’t feel the need to stick to a strict routine or plan, which can make them more resilient in unpredictable situations. This tendency towards randomness suggests a willingness to embrace life’s surprises and deal with new experiences without stress or hesitation.
But, Mukherjee says, “you also have an adventurous temperament and don’t get bored easily, especially not in a relationship.”
