Aromatherapy Shower Steamers
There are lots of different ways that you can enjoy scented bath products in your shower or bath. You can use handmade soap, bath bombs, bath oils, bath salts, and these steamers. Each one is a little bit different. But, the end goal is to add scent and good-for-you ingredients to your bath or shower routine.
How do you use aromatherapy shower steamers?
These are really easy to use. You simply take one steamer into the shower with you and wet it just a bit under the running water.
After that, set it in the corner of the shower so that it gets a little bit wet while you’re showering. The splashing water will slowly dissolve the steamer and release the scent.
Don’t place it directly on the shower drain or right underneath the showerhead. That will make it dissolve too quickly.
Are shower steamers worth it?
If you’re going to take a shower rather than a bath, you have fewer options to add scented products easily. So, while they won’t give you the same type of scent that a bath bomb will in a bath, to me they are definitely better than using plain soap.
The oils in the aromatherapy shower steamers will still help you to relax and unwind when you use them. They just won’t be left on your skin when you get out of the shower.
Can you use fragrance oil in shower steamers?
Essential oils are so much better for you than artificial fragrance oils. You will only get the aromatherapy benefits if you use essential oils.
How long does a shower steamer last?
Shower steamers are meant to be used in one shower. How long it lasts really depends on how long your shower is.
If you want it to last longer, set it out of the direct water. If you take shorter showers and want it to dissolve more quickly, move it closer to the water.

Should I use a bath bomb or a shower steamer?
Not everyone wants to take a bath. For many, baths are longer and more relaxing. So, they are best for relaxing afternoons or right before bed.
But, what about people who want to take a shower before work? Or, who shower after their workout at the gym? For those people, aromatherapy shower steamers help you enjoy the benefits of essential oils.
Can I add flower petals?
Yes, you can definitely add dried flower petals to your shower steamers. Just be aware that if you do, they will end up being on the bottom of the shower once the steamer dissolves. You will need to clean the shower stall.
Can I use my shower steamer tablets as bath bombs?
Yes, you definitely can! Use your steamers as bath bombs and your bath bombs as steamers. Just be sure not to add too much essential oil to your aromatherapy shower steamers so it doesn’t irritate your skin.

Can you use silicone molds?
Yes, you can. Thanks for stopping by.
Do you leave them to set in the freezer or on the counter?
I leave them on the counter. If it’s a very humid day, I might keep them in the refrigerator in a humidity controlled spot. Thank you for stopping by.
Can these be baked in the oven instead of waiting for them to try out.
I’ve never tried it. You could try on a very very low setting and see how it works. Thank you for stopping by.
