Not all of us have the luxury of a bath in our home but fear not, this conundrum has been solved with a genius idea that gets us as close as possible to the real thing.
Say hello to shower steamers! A genius invention that helps you bring the the best bits of a bath bomb to the shower.
Etsy maker Denise of ApothecaryBeautyCo has tweaked her much-loved rose bath bomb recipe so you can enjoy the uplifting scent in the shower. “These ‘fizzies’ have extra geranium essential oil instead of almond oil or Epsom salt “so you won’t slip in the shower,” she says.
Shower bombs, steamers or fizzies – whatever you want to call them – use steam to bring the luxury of bath time pampering to the shower. What better way to start or end your day?!
All you need to do is place the rose- or lavender-scented steamers on the floor of the shower and the hot water will melt them and release the scent. Got a cold? Try the inspired sinus relief shower steamers with eucalyptus and menthol to ease coughing and congestion naturally. Then simply relax and soak in the aromatherapy. Genius!
Ready to turn your morning or evening shower into the ultimate pamper sesh? Here are our favourite shower bombs on the market right now.
