Bath Bombs Explained: What They Are and How to Use Them
Bath bombs can turn an ordinary bath into something you actually look forward to. Drop one into warm water and it begins to fizz, releasing its fragrance and bath ingredients into the water.
But if you are new to bath bombs, you might be wondering what they actually do, when to add one and how to get the best experience from it. Here is the simple Canna Magic® guide.
What Is a Bath Bomb?
A bath bomb is a solid bath product designed to dissolve and fizz when it comes into contact with water. The reaction disperses the bath bomb throughout your bath while releasing its fragrance and other ingredients.
Different bath bombs can create very different experiences, which is why fragrance, formulation and the mood you want to create all matter when choosing one.
How Do You Use a Bath Bomb?
Using a bath bomb is simple.
- Run your bath. Fill the bath with comfortably warm water.
- Choose your mood. Decide what you want from the moment — perhaps you want to slow down, relax or reset.
- Add the bath bomb. Place it into the filled bath and let it fizz and dissolve into the water.
- Get in and switch off. Give yourself enough time to enjoy the bath rather than rushing through it.
- Rinse the bath afterwards. A quick rinse helps keep the bath clean after use.
Do You Put a Bath Bomb in Before or After You Get In?
We recommend filling your bath first and then adding the bath bomb. This lets you enjoy the fizzing experience and means you can get into the bath once the water is at a comfortable temperature.
You can also get in while it is still fizzing if you prefer. There is no complicated technique — the point is to enjoy the experience.
How Long Should You Stay in the Bath?
There is no perfect amount of time. A bath should fit into your life rather than becoming another rule to follow.
Give yourself enough time to slow down and enjoy it, while keeping the water at a temperature that feels comfortable for you.
Choosing a Bath Bomb by Mood
Colour and fragrance matter, but we think there is a better question to start with: How do you want to feel?
That idea sits behind Canna Magic® CANNA MAGIC BATH.
For an evening when you want to slow things down, choose RELAX. When the day has taken it out of you and you want a moment to reset, choose RESTORE.
Thinking about your mood first makes choosing a bath bomb part of the experience rather than simply picking one from the shelf.
How to Make Your Bath Feel Better
You do not need an elaborate bathroom or a shelf full of products. Small changes can make an ordinary bath feel much more considered.
Put your phone away. Lower the lights. Choose music if you want it — or choose silence. Have a clean towel ready and give yourself a little time afterwards instead of immediately returning to your to-do list.
Simple is often better.
