Bath bombs are great bath enhancers. They are produced in various colors, flavors, sizes, shapes, and they typically contain oils and butter, which are nourishing to the skin. This article will help you discover everything there is to know about bath bombs and how to use them effectively to achieve an exciting bath.

What is a Bath Bomb

lavanda bath bombsA bath bomb is a compressed blend of specific ingredients shaped into various forms and sizes.

When released into the bathwater, it creates an effervescent effect with the release of essential oils, colorant, moisturizer, and scent.

The primary ingredients of bath bombs are a bicarbonate base and weak acid.

Typically, these ingredients only react when immersed in water, which explains the fizzy effect of bath bombs.

An acid-base reaction involves converting citric acid to sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate to carbon dioxide.

Other ingredients contained in bath bombs vary depending on the production process. Typically, they contain scented ingredients and dye to infuse a sweet fragrance and color into the water.

Also, lathering agents are incorporated into the mixture to create bubbles.

Bath Bombs – All you Need to Know

Choosing a Bath Bomb

Bath bombs vary in types, depending on their scents, color, shapes, and sizes. Some other bath bombs have extra contents in them, such as glitter and flower petals.

Some other bath bombs contain body oils and butter that are great for the skin, such as almond oil and shea butter.

To select a bath bomb, choose one whose color and smell appeal to you. If your skin is dry, it is best to choose one with extra oils and butter to provide you with additional moisture.

Here are some ingredients to expect in a bath bomb:

Essential Oils

Essential oils such as lavender rose and chamomile are great additional ingredients that give the bath bomb fragrance and help you relax.

Skin Softening Butters and Oils

Skin softening butter and oils such as coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil is excellent for keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized.

Fun Additives

Additives like flower petals and glitter are included on bath bombs for aesthetic purposes, and they also help improve moods.

Salt, Powdered Clays, and Herbs

These are also found in bath bombs, and they help to soften, nourish and moisturize the skin.

How To Use a Bath Bomb

1. Wrap The Bath Bomb in a Fabric

Some bath bombs have additives such as flower petals, and these can remain in the tub after draining the water. To prevent this, you can wrap the bath bomb in a stocking or a small cloth bag.

Wrapping it up will allow the detergents, oils, and fragrances to enhance the bathwater without releasing the additives. After your bath, you can empty the bag of its contents or recycle it.

2. Plug Your Bathtub and Fill it up

Plug your bathtub and fill it to your desired level. Since the bath is for yourself, you can regulate the temperature to what you find comfortable.

Once you have filled the tub to your preference of quantity and temperature, turn the water off.

3. Drop the Bath Bomb into the water

Drop the bath bomb into the tub. Typically, the bath bomb immediately releases bubbles and fizz.

After a while, the bath bomb will break apart and finally dissolve in the water, thereby releasing all the oils, butter, and salt into the bathwater.

4. Undress Yourself and Enter into the tub

You can enter into your tub while the bath bomb is still bubbling and fizzing, or you can wait till all the fizzing has subsided.

5. Get Comfortable in the tub

After the bath bomb dissolves, it will fill the bathwater with fragrant oils, moisturizing and nourishing oils, as well as other additives, such as glitter and color.

6. Get Out and Dry Off

When the water in the tub gets cold, get out of the tub and drain the water. It is best to leave the tub as soon as the water cools down to avoid turning your skin wrinkly.

7. Rinse Off in the Shower

Though this is not a necessary step, it is advised, especially after bathing with bath bombs containing glitter. If you wish, you can use a sponge, and a shower gel, which gently removes the glitter and excess oils from your skin.

8. Clean your Tub

Some bath bombs contain dyes and colors that may leave stains in or around your tub. The stains will be easier to clean when damp.

To clean your tub, use a bathtub sponge to scrub off any residue from the bath bomb. If you have residue from the flower petals and glitter, pick them out or flush them down the drain.

Bottom Line

Using a bath bomb is quite simple, and it does not require much. However, you have to pay attention to your choice of a bath bomb and the ingredients contained in it.

This article has given a clear and concise guide on using a bath bomb, from selection to cleaning up after use. Visit the Lifestyle Reviews homepage for more expert advice & information.
