Shower steamers are tablets that dissolve in water to create scented therapeutic steam. Like bath bombs, shower steamers are made with baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils. But instead of placing the tablet in your bath, you place it on the floor of your shower.
To use a shower steamer, simply place in the shower out of direct water stream, splash with water to activate and, as the tablet slowly dissolves, it releases essential oils into the hot shower steam. Breathe deeply to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the essential oils.
Because the shower steamer is not entirely immersed in water, it will last for several showers which means that as well as being more environmentally friendly than using a bath bomb it's also a more cost effective way of enjoying an aromatherapy experience.
Note: Do not use a shower steamer as a bath bomb.
