Bath bombs have become increasingly popular over the years and for good reason. They are often added to body and beauty gift baskets so that the lucky recipient will feel extra pampered. Apart from their delightful smell, however, many people wonder if they offer any actual benefits.
Citric acid and baking soda are two of the main ingredients of any bath bomb. It’s these ingredientss that give it all that fizz. Baking soda is a common ingredient in many beauty products since it is known to give you smooth skin. Citric acid, on the other hand, can reduce the effects of aging and it also works as an antioxidant.
Different bath bombs contain different oils and other ingredients. If yours contain shea butter, you will enjoy the softening and regenerative effects. Olive oil also helps keep your skin moist and soft while corn oil is rich in potassum, calcium, Vitamin E, and more!
Aromatherapy bath bombs are also incredibly popular. They include a blend of basic ingredients as mentioned above as well as one or more essential oils. The essential oils give your bath a wonderful scent and various scents have various benefits. Mint and lavender are two popular essential oils that help you relax and feel refreshed after a long soak.
Remember, when you add a bath bomb to the water, it’s not about having a quick dip in the water but rather a longer soak. So, do yourself a favour and light a few candles, turn down the lights, put on your favourite relaxing music and pour yourself a drink before settling in for a good few minutes! Avoid any interruptions by putting your phone on silent or having your partner watch the kids. This is your time – enjoy every minute!
