It must be closed. For complete drying, you need to wait at least 6 hours. It is important to observe all proportions. For the preparation of these cosmetic products, you cannot do without soda. It is thanks to her and citric acid that an "explosive" effect is obtained. Soda balls in combination with oils do not dry the skin, but rather saturate it with useful minerals, so do not be afraid to take a soda bath.

V the composition of the second cooking method on water includes:

two tablespoons of baking soda;
one l. citric acid;
one l. salt;
0.5 l. cosmetic oil;
eight drops of essential oil;
water in a spray bottle.

The cooking process is the same as in the first option. The only difference is that you need to sprinkle the mixture with water two to three times while mixing. It is necessary to stir very quickly so that the bomb "does not explode".

Don't be afraid to fantasize and add to the mix different ingredients... Balls with cocoa will add subtle chocolate notes to the body, and with dyes they will make the color of the water pleasant for relaxation. If you do not want a film of vegetable oils enveloping your body after the spa procedure, you can replace them with baby oil. Essential oil can be dispensed with in the same way as foaming agent. If the first is used to saturate the air with aromas, then the second is just for fun.

In this article, you will learn not only how to use bombs, but also how to choose them and how to use them as efficiently as possible.

Steps

How to use bath bombs

Choose a bomb. Bath bombs come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and can also have a variety of odors. Some have flower petals or glitter inside, others contain oils that moisturize the skin well (for example, almond oil or cocoa butter). Pick a bomb that smells and colors you like best. If you have dry skin, look for oil bombs to moisturize your skin. Bombs may contain the following substances:

Essential oils (lavender, chamomile, rose). They not only give the bomb a pleasant smell, but also promote relaxation or invigorate.
Emollient and nourishing oils and butters: almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter or cocoa butter. These oils are suitable for dry skin.
Other additives: shine or petals of flowers that float on the surface of the water. They are needed only for beauty and can improve mood.
Salt, clay in powder or herb form. They soften, moisturize and nourish the skin.

Try wrapping a cloth around the bomb. Some bombs have petals that can get stuck in the bath drain. To prevent this from happening, place the bomb in a small cloth bag or nylon stocking. Detergents, fragrances and oils will penetrate the water through the fabric, and the petals will remain inside. When you're done bathing, you just need to empty the pouch or throw it away.

Try to split the bomb in two. Bath bombs are quite expensive, but you can use a barbed knife to split the bombs in half to make them last longer. Use one half now and save the other for next time.

Plug the drain in the bathroom and draw in water. If you are making a bath for yourself, you should be comfortable there. Draw as much water as you like and adjust the temperature. When will you type the right amount water, turn off the tap.

Put the bomb in the water. When the bomb is in the water, it will bubble and foam. Then it begins to fall apart and dissolve, and all the useful oils and salts will be in the water.

Take off your clothes and stand with your feet in the tub. You can do this after the bomb has completely dissolved, or you can not wait for this moment.

Sit in the bath. Get into a comfortable position. Close your eyes, relax, meditate, or read a book. The bomb will dissolve, and the water will contain essential oils, nourishing and moisturizing oils and all other substances: petals, glitter, dyes.

When the water has cooled down, get out of the tub and dry off. The water will gradually get colder. It will be possible to get out of the bath and flush the water. Do not stay in the water for a long time, as the moisture will wrinkle the skin.

Take a shower. It is not necessary to shower after a bath with a bomb, but if you used a dye or glitter bomb it will be helpful. Drain the water, rinse in the shower, and wash off the oil from your skin. You can also wash with a washcloth and shower gel.

Wash the tub. Some bombs contain substances that can stain the bathtub. The easiest way to wash off the paint is when it is damp. Take a sponge and scrub the stained areas. If there are petals or sparkles in the bathtub, remove them with your hands or wash them off with water.

Other uses for bath bombs
1. Remember that the bomb cannot be stored for a long time. Bombs retain their shape only in a dry room, but the fresher the bomb, the more foam will be when it dissolves. If the bomb is stored for too long, there will be much less foam and bubbles.
  
  Relieve nasal congestion. For colds, you can clean your nose with an eucalyptus oil bomb. Fill the bathtub with warm water, throw a bomb there and climb into the water.
2. Have an aromatherapy session. Many bombs contain essential oils that have a positive effect on mood and help you relax, get rid of stress, or vice versa - feel cheerful. When choosing a bomb, pay attention to the composition and find out what essential oils are there. Essential oils also give off a scent, so choose a scent that is pleasing to you. Below is a list of the most common oils in bombs and their possible uses:
  - Lavender essential oil has a classic scent with fresh floral notes. It helps to cope with anxiety, depression and stress.
  - Rose essential oil also has a classic scent with sweet floral notes. Like lavender, it fights depression.
