What Are Shower Steamers? Your Guide to a Spa-Like Shower Experience
Share
Imagine stepping into your shower and being enveloped in a cloud of beautiful fragrance — like your own personal spa. That’s exactly what shower steamers do. If you’ve never tried them before, you’re in for a treat.
What Are Shower Steamers?
Shower steamers (sometimes called shower bombs) are small, compressed tablets made with baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils or fragrance oils. When they come into contact with water and steam, they fizz and release an intense burst of fragrance that fills your shower with an aromatherapy experience.
They are not bath bombs — they are designed specifically for the shower, not for soaking in the bath.
How Do You Use a Shower Steamer?
- Place the shower steamer on the floor of your shower, away from the direct stream of water.
- Allow a little water to splash onto it occasionally to activate the fizzing and fragrance release.
- Breathe deeply and enjoy the aromatherapy experience!
Tip: Don’t place it directly under the shower head — it will dissolve too quickly. A little water goes a long way.
Are Shower Steamers Safe?
Shower steamers are designed for external use only — they are not meant to be used in the bath or to come into prolonged contact with your skin. The fragrance and essential oil concentration is higher than in bath products, so keep them on the shower floor and enjoy the scent through the steam.
How Long Does a Shower Steamer Last?
Depending on how much water reaches it, a shower steamer typically lasts one to two showers. Store unused steamers in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
What Are the Benefits?
- 🌿 Relaxation: Lavender and chamomile scents help you unwind after a long day.
