Steps

Part 1 of 2: Using bath bombs

1. 

   Choose a bath bomb. Bath bombs come in many different colors, fragrances, shapes and sizes.Some also have petals and glitter on the inside. Besides, many bath bombs have extra oils and butter that are good for the skin like almond oil and cocoa butter. Choose a bath bomb of your favorite color and fragrance; If your skin is dry, choose one that contains oils and butter to add moisture. Here are a few things to consider when shopping for a bath bomb:
   • Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and rose. These essential oils not only add fragrance to bath bombs, but also help you relax or be more alert.
   • Nourishing, emollient oils and avocados like almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter are all great for dry skin!
   • The glitter and petals added to the bath bomb would float on the water's surface. They are added to make the bath water look better and help improve mood.
   • Salt, clay powder and herbs are also often added to bath bombs. They help soften, moisturize and nourish the skin.

2. 

   
   
   Try wrapping bomb baths in fabric. Some bath bombs with petals will stick to the tub after draining. You can prevent this from happening by placing the bath bomb in a small cloth bag or leather sock. Soap, fragrance and oil still penetrate the thin fabric and dissolve into the bath water, but the petals remain in a cloth bag or sock. When you're done showering, just empty your bag or recycle it.

3. 

   
   
   Try cutting the bath bomb in half. Bath bombs are expensive, but you can last longer by cutting the bath bombs with a serrated knife. You will use half to shower and keep the rest for next bath.
   • If you are using only one portion of your bath bomb, be sure to store the rest by wrapping it in a plastic wrap and storing it in a dry place. You can also store bath bombs in a jar with a tight lid. Make sure the bath bombs are dry, as the humidity will cause the bath bombs to bubble.

4. 

   
   
   Close the drain hole and fill the tub with water. You are preparing your own bath water, so do your best to feel your best. Use more or less water, and the temperature is hot or cold depending on your preference. Turn off the tap when you have the bath water you want.

5. 

   Put the bath bomb in the water. As soon as you put the bath bomb in the water, it will begin to bubble. After a while, the bath bomb breaks and dissolves, releasing oil, salt and butter into the water.

6. 

   Take off your clothes and step into the tub. You can go into the tub while the bath bomb is still sparkling or wait until it stops.

7. 

   Relax in the bath. Choose the position that makes you most comfortable. You can close your eyes and try stretching, meditating or reading. The bath bomb dissolves and gives the water the aroma of essential oils; secrete butter and oils that nourish and soften the skin; along with things like petals, glitter, and colors.

8. 

   Step out of the tub when the water is cold and drained. After a while, the water begins to cool. At this point, you can step out of the tub and rinse. Don't stay in the bath for too long as your skin will get wrinkled and purple!

9. 

   Take a shower again. You don't need to take a shower after you have used a bath bomb, but if you are using a color or glitter, do so. Just rinse the tub, then shower to wash off the oil and butter from your skin. You can use loofah and shower gel if you want.

10. 

    Wash the tub. Some bath bombs use dyes that leave the color on the bath. The dye will be easy to remove while still damp. Use a bath sponge or brush to scrub away any dye from the tub. If you have petals or glitter in the tub, you can remove or turn on clean water to let them drift down the drain.
