One of the things he'd been noticing were alot of loft style beds and bunks in the rooms. Not having slept on a loft or bunk before he told me that he foun... Read more

Different Types of Handmade Bath Bombs

This Family Article is Brought To You 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.
