In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding moments of relaxation and self-care is crucial. While bath bombs have long been a popular choice for indulging in aromatherapy, shower steamers offer a convenient and invigorating alternative for those who prefer showers over baths. They are small, compact tablets that release scents when exposed to water and steam. Many experts agree that shower steamers are better than bath bombs because artificial scents and colors do not directly touch the body. Below is how to make them last longer and get the best experience.
Choose the right shower steamer: Shower steamers, also known as shower bombs or shower fizzes, are compact tablets or balls made from a mixture of essential oils, fragrances, and other soothing ingredients. When exposed to water and steam in the shower, they gradually dissolve, releasing a scent. Shower steamers come in a variety of scents, so choose one that you like. Common scents include eucalyptus, lavender, citrus, and mint.
Put it in the right place: Shower steamers work best when placed in direct contact with water and steam. At Soapie Squad we want your steamer to last. So, here is the secret: if you place it directly under the water spray, it will dissolve quickly. Instead, place it in a small plastic bin away from the spray. Splash a little water to get the scent moving. When you are done showering, just remove the plastic bin from the shower to use for another time. The side benefit is your roommate does not need to smell your leftover steamer.
Get that Steamer Moving: Once you’re ready to use the shower steamer, simply splash it with a little water. The warmer the better to get the steam swirling to move the scent around the shower. The water and steam will eventually dissolve the steamer, releasing the scent of the essential oils.
Enjoy the experience: As the shower steamer dissolves, it will release the scent and essential oils into the air, creating a relaxing and invigorating environment. Breathe deeply and allow the aroma to surround you as you shower.
Shower steamers are designed for use in the shower and should not be used as bath bombs because of the high amount of essential oils.
Shower steamers offer a delightful way to infuse your daily shower routine with aromatherapy and self-care. By choosing the right shower steamer, strategically placing it, and immersing yourself in the soothing scents, you can create a spa-like experience right in your own bathroom. Embrace the power of shower steamers and elevate your shower to new heights of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Remember, self-care is essential, and these small moments of indulgence can make a significant difference in your overall well-being. Treat yourself to the therapeutic power of shower steamers and let the delightful scents transport you to a place of tranquility and bliss.
