Shower steamers have quickly become one of the most popular items I sell in the Awayday shop. I think the main reasons are 1) their irresistible fragrances add a spa-like experience to your daily shower routine, and 2) unlike bath bombs, they don't require any extra time in your day to enjoy them. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about using shower steamers, from choosing the right ones for your needs to storing them properly.
It's incredibly easy and convenient to use shower steamers:
Shower steamers are kind of like bath bombs, but for the shower. They're aromatic tablets that release a burst of fragrance and essential oils as they dissolve. They turn your everyday shower into a spa-like experience by filling your shower with delightful scents and providing various therapeutic benefits. You essentially get the bath bomb experience without having to draw a bath.
Shower steamers come in a variety of scents and formulations, allowing you to choose the perfect one to suit your mood and needs. Here are some of the different types of shower steamers you can try:
When choosing a shower steamer, consider your personal preferences, the mood you want to create, and the benefits you are seeking. It's fun to experiment with different types!
To get the most out of your shower steamers, avoid these common errors:
It's important to store your shower steamers properly -- when they're exposed to moisture, heat, or direct sunlight, they can lose their potency and fragrance. The easiest way is to keep them in their original packaging or wrap them in airtight bags. Place the individually wrapped steamers in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.
Alternatively, you can store shower steamers in a sealed container. Choose a container that is large enough to hold multiple shower steamers without overcrowding them. This helps protect the steamers from moisture and prevents them from absorbing odors from the surrounding environment. Store the container in a cool, dry place for best results.
Where exactly should I place my shower steamer? Place it where it receives indirect water spray but isn't in the main water stream. A corner of the shower floor or a soap dish works well.
How long does one shower steamer last? When positioned correctly, a single steamer can last 1-3 showers, depending on its size and water exposure.
Can I break a shower steamer in half? Yes! Breaking them in half is a great way to extend their use, especially for shorter showers.
Why isn't my shower steamer releasing enough scent? It might not be getting enough water contact. Try moving it slightly closer to water spray, but still avoid direct water flow.
So, why settle for a mundane shower when you can pamper yourself with the spa-like indulgence of shower steamers? Pack some with you when you travel -- you can enjoy them anywhere!
