DIY homemade bath bombs for sensitive skin, Now show you

What is a bath bomb?

If you don’t know what a bath bomb is, it’s essentially a ball made primarily from sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which is combined with additional ingredients such as Essential Oils, fragrances, and other additives.

These balls are then dropped into the tub filled with hot water, releasing an amazing aroma of essential oils, as well as helping to give your skin a spa-like treatment when you soak in the tub after wards.

Are Bath Bombs Safe to Use for Your Skin?

Bath bombs are enticing, their colors and scents intoxicating, but even the ones infused with natural oils or ingredients that can provide hydration to the skin should be avoided as much as possible. The aggressive and often abrasive chemicals used in bath bombs can do more harm than good, dry-out, or irritate your skin. Furthermore, additives like dye and glitter can be difficult to remove, causing skin irritation to worsen. When using bath bombs, be sure to proceed with caution, even if your skin doesn't always negatively react to bath bombs.

Choose bath bomb for people who have sensitive skin

If you have sensitive skin, be mindful of the ingredients in bath bombs. Avoid bombs with artificial dyes, fragrance, and preservatives which can irritate skin. Opt for bath bombs made with natural ingredients like essential oils, cocoa butter, oatmeal, etc.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together (leaving out the liquid) in a small bowl using your fingers to break up clumps and evenly distribute oil. You want the mixture to have the consistency of damp sand and hold a shape for a few seconds when you mold.
2. Once it has achieved this consistency, slowly add and distribute the liquid with your fingers—you want to do this so the mixture doesn't dry out and hardens properly. Adding liquid can cause the mixture to fizz so you want to disperse it quickly.
3. Grease your bath molds lightly with oil. Now start filling the molds with mixture and tamp it down thoroughly with your fingers. This is the most time-consuming part of the process but also the most important. You want to make sure that the mixture is thoroughly packed in so it hardens properly.
4. Once you have filled the molds, let them sit 24 hours if possible and then remove the bombs from the molds. They should easily release, but if they don't, just tap lightly on the back of molds until they come out.

How to use a Bath Bomb

There are certain steps one must take to have an extraordinary bath experience.  Before I begin, I must stress that your bathtub MUST be clean!  Please do not sit in a dirty tub.  Also, you’ll want to set the scene.  Light some candles and turn your bath time into a planned out solo date night with yourself!
Step One: Plug the tub and turn on the water to your desired temperature.
Step Two: Let the bathtub fill up halfway.
Step Three: Once the tub is filled halfway, hold your bath bomb under the faucet to dissolve the bomb and properly bubble.
Step Four: Turn off the faucet, and sink into the tub.  Be sure to avoid your eyes, and do not drink your bathwater.
Step Five: Once you have relaxed and are ready to exit, unplug the tub, and allow the water to drain.
Step Six: Rinse off the bomb and pat yourself dry.
Step Seven: Rinse the tub and scrub clean to avoid any dyes ruining the bathtub.
