- Different Types of Handmade Bath Bombs
- by Gen Wright
Handmade bath bomb is one type
of bath fizzier. They are called as such because when you put
them in the water, they will dissolve which produces a fizzing
sound and creates certain scents, colour, and other interesting
things to make taking a bath more interesting and relaxing.

You can buy handmade bath bombs
from supermarkets or drugstores, but if you want to make them
yourself, you can also do so. If you want to know your options
regarding making a handmade bath bombs, here are some types of
handmade bath bombs.
Basic Handmade Bath Bomb. The
size of bath bombs varies, so it is up to you how big or small
you want your handmade bath bombs to be. You will need citric
acid, with hazel, baking soda, colouring, fragrance (optional),
and soap mould. Combine baking soda and citric acid in one bowl
and make sure that you thoroughly incorporate them. A mixture
which is not well-blended will have a grainy texture. What you
should try to achieve is a smooth texture. Add the colouring,
witch hazel, and fragrance. When you reached the right texture
for your mixture (which is sticky), you can now pour it into
your soap moulds. After a few minutes in the moulds, take them
out and leave for 3 to 4 hours in a dry, clean place.
Fizzy Milk Bath Bombs. You will
need baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, powdered Epsom salts,
powdered milk, olive oil, cocoa butter, fragrance, and a mixture
of equal amounts of water and witch hazel. Combine all the dry
ingredients. Add all the oils and other liquids. Mix thoroughly
until you reached a sticky consistency. Put into moulds. |

Water Softening Bath Bombs. The
ingredients are similar to that of making a basic handmade bath
bomb, but in this case, you have to add starch, which makes it
more fragile. After leaving the mixture for a day and it has
already become firm, apply witch hazel at the bottom and leave
it as is for another day. Applying witch hazel on the bottom
part creates a layer of crust, which keeps your handmade bath
bomb from breaking.
Moisture Rich Bath Bombs. Again,
ingredients are similar to the ingredients used in making basic
handmade bath bombs, but for moisture rich bath bombs, you have
to add Epsom salt. You have to mix together all the dry ingredients
in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another bowl. After
thoroughly mixing both, mix the two mixtures together in a third
larger bowl. Use wire whisk for a firmer bath bomb.
Super Moisturizing Bath Bombs.
These handmade bath bombs are similar to the regular moisturizing
bath bomb, but add a cup of dehydrated milk instead of some of
the baking soda.
From these several types of handmade
bath bombs, you can choose one which you like best and is most
appropriate for your skin type. Handmade bath bombs will not
only give you a fresh and clean feeling after taking a bath,
they also make your bathing experience an interesting and a very
relaxing one. |
