If you always wanted to be a high-maintenance beauty girlie but the constant upkeep just doesn’t fit your fantasy, the TikTok-approved Thursday night routine might just be for you.
The concept, which has 14.8million views on the app (and counting), is actually pretty simple – you save all your big beauty chores for Thursday night, and do them all in one go. That way, you’re prepped and ready for the weekend with things like fake tan, hair… maybe a face mask for good measure.
TikToker Alexa Timmermann says she likes to “gatekeep” her Thursday nights for having ‘everything showers’, in which she does, well, everything. “You ask me if I’m busy on a Thursday? The answer is now yes – here’s what I’m doing,” she introduces her video.
“I start off at the gym, I get a good sweat in, I come home and I make myself a fabulous dinner. Then, I get in the shower and I have what I call an ‘everything shower’… you do everything in the shower.
“You do your detox shampoo, you do your hair mask, you exfoliate every part of your body, you shave everything. You get out of the shower and you do your 25-plus step skincare routine, probably including some kind of a face mask, or those little rejuvenating eye patches, right? You do all of that.
“Then you self tan. Self tan – very important on Thursday nights, we’re going into the weekend. Then you put on your sh*tty clothes that go over the self tan. We’re in bed at 9.30, reading a few chapters of your book. Notifications silenced. Lights out, 10.30, period. That’s Thursdays now. And honestly I think we need to normalise that.”
Importantly, the Thursday night routine is about me-time as much as it is about beauty prep. But there’s no doubt you’ll be feeling pretty smug come the weekend, when you’re preened, tanned and ready to go (if that’s your thing, obviously).
Other optional extras include teeth whitening strips and eyebrow plucking, as demonstrated by fellow TikTokers @kristacannady_ and @ashley.paiige. “Then tomorrow morning we will wash the hair and rinse off the tan,” says Krista of her only Friday steps. Et voila.
