Listen to your heart and find a bath bomb in Singapore that resonates with you!
With so many bath products available in the market today, it can be overwhelming to decide which to use for when. To avoid disappointment in the tub, find out what a bath bomb, bubble bar and bath salt do before picking one up!
Bath bombs: These balls of joy usually come in fanciful designs and pack a bunch of surprises in them. They fizz up the bathwater with colours, glitter, and even fun effects — think popping candy or rose petals. They also contain fragrances and various skin-benefiting ingredients (cue #2) to amp up your bathing experience.
Bubble bars: As its name suggests, bubble bars are meant to create thick foam and bubbles in your tub. While some bubble bars may add a scent to your bath water, they don’t contain skin-nourishing properties. Additionally, they will need to be crumbled under running water for the best results.
Bath salts: Usually contains beneficial ingredients such as Epsom salt and Himalayan pink salt that can not only pamper your skin but also relieve body aches and soothe your mind. Most bath salts dissolve clear in the water but some may add a subtle tint of colour to your bath. Add two scoops into your tub and swirl it around to dissolve.
Do you need to rinse your body after soaking? Is there a need to crumble the bath bomb into the tub? As easy as it seems, many bath bombs don’t come with specific instructions, leaving many of us soaked with confusion. Read on to find out more about the best way to enjoy a hot bath with your bath bomb in Singapore!
Step 1 – Run hot water into your bathtub (remember to plug your bathtub!). While waiting, take a quick shower.
Step 2 – Climb into the tub and drop the entire bath bomb directly into the water. Watch as it dissolves to transform your bath water into something magical! Then, soak to your heart’s content!
Step 3 – When you’re done, simply hop out of the tub! There’s no need for another rinse. However, if you feel the need to shower, simply go for a light rinse without soap. This ensures the nourishing ingredients from your bath remains, leaving you with silky smooth skin!
Step 4 – You can simply drain the tub to clear out the bathwater.
Pro Tip: We suggest avoiding bath bombs with glitter or strong colouring to prevent staining the tub on your staycation — unless you don’t mind giving the tub a scrub down!
