What Is a Shower Steamer?

The easiest way to explain a shower steamer is to compare it to another popular self-care implement: the bath bomb. Bath bombs are basically bundles of skin-healthy ingredients and aromatherapeutic scents (and often fun, colorful glitter) that can be dropped into your bath. Once submerged, bath bombs dissolve and infuse all of their goodness into the water.
Similarly, a shower steamer is made with ingredients that are meant to be good for your skin and body, as well as aromatherapeutic elements. These turn your everyday shower into a seriously luxurious experience that makes even the smallest bathroom into a five-star spa.

How to use shower steamers

Making your shower routine an intoxicating experience by using shower steamers is a simple process to follow whenever you take a shower.
Start by letting your hot shower build up steam inside the shower. You can start with extremely hot water and adjust the water temperature accordingly afterward.
Place one shower steamer on your shower floor. But find a location where the shower stream won’t hit the shower steamer directly, simply close enough for water splashes to hit it. The idea is to let the fizzy create a steam effect, slowly but steadily.
Allow the shower steam to activate the fizz and release the aromatic essential oils throughout the shower. The warm steam and the incredible aromatherapy will let you relax and enjoy your shower like never before.

Helpful Tips & Tricks for Using Your Aromatherapy Shower Steamer:

• A nice hot shower will create steam, which helps to release the essential oils in the product.
• Avoid letting your shower steamer get too wet. We recommend *only* getting it wet when activating it – this will extend the product's lifespan!
• You will know your shower steamer has activated when it begins to fizzle, similar to a bath bomb.
• We recommend adding aromatherapy to your daily routine! We also have bath soaks and body creams featuring the same essential oil blends!
• If the smell is too strong, you can hang it on the faucet of your sink while you shower
• Listen to your body and try new things: Everyone is different, and while one essential oil may not be the best for you, another may be the perfect fit!
