Bath bombs are a popular item among bath lovers. They come in various colors and scents and are known for their fizziness and relaxing effects. However, store-bought bath bombs can be expensive, and you may not always find the scent or color you want. So why not make your own? In this DIY tutorial, we will show you how to make your own bath bombs at home.
What You Will Need:
- 1 cup baking soda- 1/2 cup citric acid- 1/2 cup Epsom salt- 1/2 cup cornstarch- Food coloring- Essential oils- Water- Mixing bowl- Whisk- Bath bomb molds
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch. These dry ingredients will form the base of your bath bombs.
Step 2: Add Color and Scent
Add a few drops of food coloring and essential oils to the dry mixture. You can choose any color and scent you like. Mix well to distribute the color and scent evenly.
Step 3: Add Water
Using a spray bottle, add water to the mixture a little at a time. Mix well with a whisk after each spray. Be careful not to add too much water, as this can cause the mixture to react and fizz prematurely.
Step 4: Pack the Mixture into Molds
Once the mixture has the consistency of damp sand, it is ready to be packed into molds. You can use any mold you like, but bath bomb molds are the best option. Press the mixture firmly into the molds, making sure to pack it tightly.
Step 5: Let the Bath Bombs Dry
After packing the mixture into molds, let the bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours. You can leave them out in the open, but make sure they are not in direct sunlight or in a humid area.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Bath Bombs
Once the bath bombs are dry, they are ready to be used. Simply drop one into your bath and watch it fizz and release its scent and color.Making your own bath bombs can be a fun and rewarding experience. You can customize them to your liking and save money in the process. So why not give it a try?
