These DIY Shower Bombs (also called Shower Steamers) are great for adding a little aromatherapy to your life. Use lavender to create a calming scent before bed or peppermint to energize your morning routine.
Start by adding baking soda and citric acid (optional) to a glass mixing bowl
Add 20-30 drops of essential oil to and thoroughly stir the oils into the mixture
Add enough water to create a mixture that holds its shape when squeezed in your hand. Using a spray bottle is helpful as you have more control over the amount of water added.
When the mixture holds its shape, press the mixture into a silicone mold and allow it to dry at room temperature for 12-48 hours (depending on temperature and humidity levels)
Once completely dry, pop the shower bombs out of the mold and store them in an airtight container until ready to use
