What are shower steamers?

Shower steamers are essentially bath bombs, but for your shower. They are balls or tablets made of ingredients like baking soda, citric acid, essential oils, and other natural ingredients. Consider them perfect Easter craft ideas when treating your loved ones to much-needed relaxation.

When hot water (enough to steam) comes into contact with the ball, it releases the essential oils, creating a soothing, therapeutic aroma that makes your shower time feel like a spa. The best part about it is, even though you can find shower steamers in spas and salons, you can easily make them at home with a few simple ingredients!

  2. Combine the baking soda and citric acid in the small mixing bowl.
  3. Add in your food colouring and mix until the desired colour is achieved.
  4. Add in the essential oils and mix until combined.

Tips for Making Shower Steamers

Making your own shower steamers is a fun and easy way to create unique Easter gifts. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when creating your DIY shower steamers:

  1. Ensure you use only natural ingredients and essential oils to keep your shower steamers free of harsh chemicals and toxins.
  2. Start with a small batch so you can adjust the recipe if need be. That way, you can also test out different variations and create batches that are uniquely yours.
  3. A silicone mould is best — your shower steamers are prone to breakage, and these moulds will help you remove them quickly.
  4. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to experiment!
