You’ve seen bath bombs, you’ve bought your favorite bath bomb, you know you put it in the bathtub and it should fizz, perhaps color the water and give a great smell but how do you use a relaxing bath bomb? They don’t come with bath bomb use instructions, so what is a bath bomb supposed to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to use a bath bomb is to run your bathtub and place the bath bomb in the water after it is filled. The bath bomb will take 3-6 minutes to dissolve in the warm water. This is the point when you should enter the water once the bubbles, scents, salts and fizz have been released.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Looks pretty simple huh? – Well, read on, for bath bomb use instructions and answers to many of the Bath Bomb Use questions I see every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the best bath bomb experience and how to use a bath bomb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use these bath products in any type of bath but there are precautions you should take if considering using a bath bomb in a hot tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no hard and fast rule here on how to use bath melts but I would avoid putting the common bath bomb in the bath before the water. It is going to be a disappointing experience! So what’s the point of a bath bomb?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal time to place the bath bomb in the water is once the tub is filled to your desired depth. Placing it in whilst the water is still running, is OK, and in some cases, may assist in the mix, but certainly, some of the fun is watching it fizz.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, I would not recommend putting it in the bath AFTER you have got in yourself. You certainly can and there is absolutely no harm in doing so, but it is better to lower yourself slowly into the bath once the fizzy bath bomb has done its magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is preferable to put the bath bomb in the water before you get in. This way the fizzing can happen, and the explosion of scent can fill the bathroom, so prepare for your ultimate bath bomb<\/a> bathing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned above, it is not essential, and there is no danger in sitting in the bath and having the bath bomb work at that point, but for me personally, adding the bath products before I get in is all about the preparation of my bath time experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your bath bomb is wrapped in plastic then you should remove it completely before adding to the bath. The plastic wrapper on the bath bomb is for storage and display only and will help it remain fresh, it will hinder the experience if left on when added to the bath water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bath Bombs ingredients<\/a> do clean you to an extent. If they have a surfactant ingredient, then they will be working at putting moisture between your skin and any grease, dirt or grime. You will need to use some effort in getting clean however, the bath bomb will not replace a good scrub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst the bath bomb will have cleansing and soaping agents, just sitting in a bath with a bath bomb in it, will not clean you and have the same effect as scrubbing your skin. You will need to add a little of your own effort.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure if you have sensitive skin, dry skin or itchy skin, to take the necessary precautions. Bath bombs for sensitive skin<\/a> are available<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can soak with a bath bomb for 20-40 minutes depending on the how comfortable you are as the water cools or as your skin goes ‘pruny’ – Bath in bath bomb water is no different to an ordinary bath so enjoy the experience for as long as the tempreture allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally I like a hot bath, so can do more than 20 minutes, but also I don’t like to be in the bath for too long. If however, I feel like an extended lie in the tub, I am likely to top up with hot water whilst there. but not too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no rules here, just relax and enjoy<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main danger of bath bombs is not understanding what the ingredients are and what to look for, or more specifically not avoiding ambiguous ingredient listing such as ‘fragrance’. Ensure that each ingredient is individually listed and explains exactly what they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are making your own DIY Bath Bombs,<\/a> then this is not a concern for you as you will know and be in full control of what is going into your bath bomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One article<\/a> I read makes a rather sweeping statement without specifically highlighting the individual product or brand it was referring too, which is equally as dangerous as it can cast a dull light over bath bombs in general, many of which are perfectly safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just be sure when you are buying a bath bob that you have confidence in the ingredients, and if in any doubt, ask directly the seller to clarify. A big signal is if they are unable to clear up any doubts you have because either they don’t know, or worse still don’t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, for want of better grammar, ‘they don’t do nothing, something happens!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bath bombs do several things, but this question seems to be aimed at if there are any benefits<\/a> at all to a bath bomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be, not always, but also not limited to<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m sure as you read this and if you use bath bombs regularly you could add to this list.<\/p>\n\n\nBath Bomb Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
