Here's an easy tip to try. Take a Navy Shower. My father used to take them all the time and tried to make us do them too. Now as an adult, I see the importance.
So try this:
1. When you first get in the shower get completely wet
2. Turn off the water
3. Wash your body and hair
4. Then turn the water back on to rinse off!
It might take some getting used to but once you are doing it consistently it'll be like you have always showered this way.
If you're having trouble with this here are a couple things you could try. Try turning off the water when you shampoo only or maybe just take a very short shower (5-7 minutes).
For some motivation and to see how much water you really use during a shower, close the plug. You'll be amazed at how much water accumulates. Remember this , a typical shower uses 5 gallons per minute!!! That is crazy!!!
Now ladies may wonder how in the world are they going to shave their legs. Try this. Once you are completed with a shower just fill a cup or the tub with a "little" water and shave that way. You do not need a constant stream of water when shaving.
