What is a homemade bath bomb?
A homemade bath bomb is a small sphere or block that is dropped into bath water. These
bombs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and smells. Upon contact with the water,
the bath bomb fizzles and dissolves into the water. Depending on what the bath bomb is
made out of, it can cause a different effect when adding it into the water. It can cause your
bath water to change color, to fill the bathroom with an appealing aroma or to soften your
skin upon contact.
Bath bombs are primarily used to nourish and bring life back to your skin, adding a natural
radiance and luster to the surface. Using bath bombs regularly can help reduce the amount
of lotion or body butter that you have to use daily and reduce the buildup of oil on the
surface of your skin.
