How to use shower steamers

We all know how important it is to take care of ourselves, but sometimes it can be hard to find the time. If you're looking for a way to relax and pamper yourself without having to leave the house, consider using shower steamers. Shower steamers are a great way to turn your daily shower into an at-home spa experience. Here's how to use them:

What are shower steamers and how do they work

Shower steamers are similar to bath bombs, but meant for your shower; basically it's a shower bomb! They fill up your shower with aromas, giving you an indulgent experience right at home. Loyal to Self's shower steamers come in a variety of scents, so you can choose one that matches your mood.

To use a shower steamer, simply toss it onto the shower floor and let it do its magic! The hot water produces steam, helping to disperse the steamer’s scent throughout the shower. As you shower, inhale deeply to enjoy the therapeutic and relaxing effects of the natural fragrances emanating from the shower steamers. In addition to producing pleasing scents and instantly elevating your showering routine, some shower bombs can help to relax tight muscles or clear out congestion in your sinuses due to their essential oil content. Whatever your reason for wanting a shower steamer—for aromatherapy, for deeper relaxation or just for fun—shower steamers seriously upgrade your shower experience!

How to use shower steamers for best results

Shower steamers are becoming increasingly popular, not only for their pleasant aromatherapy scents but also for how easy they are to use and how easy it is to sneak self care into your routine.

To get the most out of our shower bombs, here are some tips.

  1. Shower steamers work best with a hot shower and plenty of steam to carry the essential oils.
  2. The shower bomb needs to be wet to activate, but will last longer if it's not directly in the shower stream.
  3. As hot water evaporates from the steamer, it will fill the shower with moisturizing steam containing calming or rejuvenating essential oils. You can even adjust how much fragrance you're getting by how far away from the steamer you stand.
