Bath bombs are becoming increasingly popular, and you may wonder what the appeal is with these little fizzy balls you drop into your bathtub. Today we're going to talk about everything you need to know about bath bombs, including the benefits of bath bombs, how they work, how to make them at home, and even some tips on what types of ingredients will give you the best experience when using them in your bath. 

How do I use my bath bomb? 

What's the best way to use a bath bomb? It depends on your mood, but there are some general guidelines. Soaking in the tub will do the trick if you want a good dose of relaxing bath bombs and maybe something soothing like lavender or eucalyptus essential oils. If you're more focused on uplifting scents that encourage creative thinking or stress relief, try holding the bomb under running water as it fizzes away. Keep an eye out for any fun color-changing effects.

Are they safe for kids? 

Some people worry that these products might contain chemicals that are not appropriate for kids. If this is a concern, ask the store to check the label and be sure. But no worries if it's not an issue for you--they're safe for everyone. They don't have much of a scent, so they don't irritate allergies or sensitivities. It's also great for someone with sensitive skin or eczema because it doesn't leave any oils behind on your skin like some lotions. 

Buyer's guide 

Bath bombs are water-filled balls that dissolve in water, releasing soothing aromas and minerals that act as natural skin soothers. They're used to make the process of bathing more enjoyable. The most popular relaxing bath bombs are those with high levels of sodium bicarbonate (commonly known as baking soda), citric acid, Epsom salt, and glycerin. Are they good for my skin? People often ask if fizzy, colorful, and aromatic beauty products are good for their skin. If you want to reap all the benefits of bath bombs that come with using a bath bomb or two, ensure they have at least one moisturizing ingredient like shea butter, cocoa butter, or coconut oil. Minerals in bath bombs, such as zinc oxide, help maintain your skin's natural moisture balance and can be helpful when battling dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). 

Conclusion 

Creating your own is surprisingly easy, and the payoff is an affordable, personalized, comforting product that has a sweet scent and makes your skin feel incredible. We hope this guide has been helpful if you're trying to add a little pampering into your life on a budget.
