Understanding how to use shower steamers can really enhance your shower experience. Imagine a shower steamer as a sort of bath bomb for the shower. They’re designed to fizz and release wonderful aromas when water hits them, making your shower more enjoyable. Packed with essential oils, these steamers can leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. As you shower, the steam and humidity help intensify the fragrance of the essential oils, similar to the way bath bombs work in a bath.
Plenty of people take baths to unwind, but if you’re not into baths, shower steamers are a great alternative. Showers are a perfect time to slow down, de-stress, and even do some deep thinking. Whether you shower in the morning or at night, using a shower steamer can create a calming atmosphere that helps you relax, ease tension, and think more clearly, helping you plan your day or reflect on it.
Unlike bath bombs, shower steamers are not mixed with carrier oils, and they have higher concentrations of essential oils, which aren’t always safe for the skin. So, it’s important not to use these steamers in the bath, even though they work on a similar principle.
Recently, more companies like Lush Cosmetics, The Body Shop, Schmidt’s Naturals, and Pacific Shaving Company have been making shower steamers. However, because they can be pricey, many people choose to make them at home in bulk for long-term use.
Shower steamers come in various scents such as lavender for relaxation or peppermint for an energy boost. They’ve become incredibly popular among those who love body products because they offer a great blend of scent and skincare benefits, making showers both relaxing and quick.
They are typically available in small and large sizes. Smaller ones are perfect for individual or two-person showers, while larger ones can be used by the whole family.
