Benefits of Using

Relaxation

Trust me, bath bombs do more than just making your water pretty. The tingling sensation from the bubbles and fizzes that it produces can actually help relieve your stress and anxiety. They are a perfect addition to an already relaxing bath as it makes them even more so.

Aromatherapy

In addition to the sensations that it provides, they also come with the scent of essential oils, making your bath like an aromatherapy experience. These scents make you feel relaxed and give other health benefits for your overall wellness.

Color Therapy

Once again, those vibrant colors aren’t just for aesthetic’s sake. According to psychology, different colors evoke different mental responses from people. Like blue stimulates intellectual activity, red gives your physical strength a boost, green provides balance, and so on. Your mood will be greatly affected by the colors of your water and will also stimulate your other senses.

Skin Benefits

The essential oils which are part of the formulation make your skin healthy and beautiful. The bath salts are also great for treating different kinds of skin conditions. After a nice soak, your skin will come out refreshed and rejuvenated.

How To Use Your Bath Bomb

Step One: Choose

There’s a variety of choices that you can pick from when choosing. Bath bombs differ in scent, color, ingredients; all depending on what kind of effects that you want to experience while and after using it.

Maybe you want one to clear your airways after that terrible cold, or you need some help sleeping and relaxing because of your insomnia. Different ones cater to such different needs, so choose one (or a set) that would hit your needs most of all.

Step Two: Wrap

This is essential if you’re worried about clogging your tub.

Some bath bombs have particles like salts and flower petals to add to the stimulating experience, but if your tub does not have a good straining or draining system, then you should wrap it in a fabric.

Step Three: Cut

This is not necessary if you can afford the luxury of getting new ones every time. But as the high quality ones are pretty pricey, you can save up by only using half at a time.

Be sure to store the half that you’re not using in a dry location so that it doesn’t disintegrate or get exposed to moisture before you’re ready to use it.

Step Four: Draw A Bath

This step pretty much depends on your own personal preference. Draw a bath to the temperature that you like, and in the depth that you’re comfortable with. It probably goes without saying that you should plug the tub so that it doesn’t fizz down the drain accidentally.

Step Five: Enjoy it!

Now it’s time to put IT into the water, and it will then bubble and fizz if it’s a good quality one. This process will also release the ingredients into your water.

Step Six: Get In There

Now you can get it the tub while it’s still fizzing or you can wait until all of that is finished. Relax and let the aroma of the oils soothe and relax you, the color of the water stimulate your mood, and relish the feeling of the salts on your skin.

Step Seven: Post-Bath

You’ll know when it’s time to get out when the water gets cold and before your fingers start getting wrinkly. You can rinse off the glitters (if there are any) if you want ad consider rinsing out your tub from the color stains, glitter, and other residue as well.

Are Bath Bombs Good For Your Skin?

Sure, they’re pretty and claim that they can do wonders for your skin, but how much can they actually deliver? The oils are great for moisturizing, and these are the ingredients that actually make a difference, skin-wise. Apart from that (and the exciting fizzing and sensory feast), using these are no different from putting salts or essential oils into your water.

They’re pretty good for relaxation and other stimulations to your senses with the scents and the colors, but if you’re looking at them as an alternative to skin treatment or regimens, then you should probably look elsewhere.

That being said, there are some potential irritants in some of them, so take care in choosing that they do not have ingredients that can irritate your skin or worse, have you break out in an allergic reaction.

Conclusion

If your looking for some me time and want to soak in a relaxing aroma then take a look at some of these bath bombs that I have compiled and you will definitely be able to find something that can cater to your needs. Happy bathing.
