Bath bombs are infused with a blend of essential oils, salts, and fragrant extracts which dissolve in the water and create fizzing effects. The main ingredients in bath bombs are citric acid and sodium bicarbonate which react with one another in the water and release a carbon dioxide gas. Bath bombs deliver a sensory experience and benefits to the skin.

You might be thinking of dissolving the bath bomb into the water bath only. However, in order to enjoy the ultimate relaxing session, there are a few things that you need to do before you can truly unwind.

1.Declutter the space

Make sure to declutter and organize your bathroom accordingly to set the atmosphere right. We suggest that you place plants, burn incense, or light candles for a more ultimate at-home spa retreat.

2.Equipment to set the mood right

You can create a complete spa session with the right equipment like a robe, clean towels, and slippers that you can use after you have finished with the warm bath.

3.Draw the bath and drop the bath bomb

We’ve come to the best part which is the bath bomb! You can fill the bathtub with warm water until it reaches the preferred level. Then add the bath bomb and once it begins to dissolve you can step into the tub. We all get a little impatience when it comes to a bath bomb, so it’s not necessarily that you need to wait until the bath bomb is completely dissolved.

4.Occupy the session with your favorite de-stresser

Make sure to put on some music, read a novel, or anything that you enjoy when you’re in the bath. It’s the perfect addition to your routine to ensure that you can pamper yourself with the things that you never had the time to indulge.

5.The end routine

It’s recommended that you soak in the bath from 15 minutes to 20 minutes and you can opt to rinse yourself after the session. We suggest that you wipe the bathtub clean as some bath bombs are formulated with dyes that may leave some stains.
