Many of you might be hearing the word ‘bath bomb’ for the first time. It is not a type of explosive bomb, but a delightful treat, with which, you can pamper yourself during bath. Bath bombs are little balls that get instantly dissolved in hot water and add a luscious aroma, moisture content and a new feel to your bath experience.
Hot water makes your skin very dry and flaky. So, you need something that could prevent drying and inject moisture into your body. Hence, you can add these bath bombs into your hot water bucket so as to prevent your body from over-drying and get moisture doses. So, here is simple yet effective recipe to make your own bath bombs at home, without any hassle.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup Epsom salt
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- ¾ tbsp water
- A few drops of your favorite essential oil
- 2¾ tbsp olive oil
How to Prepare?
Step 1- Take all the dry ingredients and mix them together. Sift them for better results.
Step 2- Next; take another mixing bowl. Except essential oil, mix all the wet ingredients together. Add essential oil at the last.
Step 3- Now; add the wet mix to dry ingredients. Be quick in doing this as it will begin bubbling.
Step 4- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until you get the consistency of a wet stand.
Step 5- Now; start molding your mix into the bomb-shape structure (small balls). Shape and re-shape a few times until you get the perfect ball. Allow them to get dry and hardened, overnight so that they do not fall apart.
Utterly moisturizing and invigorating DIY bath bombs are ready. Whoa!!
