Bath bombs: what are they, should they be used

Bombs usually look like spheres of different colors, slightly rough to the touch. The fun begins when this sphere hits the water. Bulty, and before us is a mysterious bubbling geyser!

To use such a thing, to put it mildly, is pleasant - the skin after the first application is matte, smooth to the touch, looks healthy, and the self-feeling is vigorous and fresh

Hissing and bubbling occurs due to a chemical reaction associated with the interaction of the components that make up the composition. The main source of "work" of the geyser is citric acid and baking soda. The bomb gets into the water, gets wet and a bubbling process begins. At this time, it seems as if you are in a hot tub.

The water is also softened by the composition

Since the filling of the ball is different, then around you will hear the scent of lemon, then black currant, then chocolate, tropical fruits or coniferous forest.

There can be many fillers, both essential and cosmetic. Everyone will definitely play their assigned role. If you want to go to the bath and relax, the bomb will be able to make sure that after complete relaxation, a new charge of strength will be felt in the body.

Varieties of a geyser in a bath and its possibilities

As you already understood, bath bombs are not just different in shape and color, they differ in composition and direction of action. Let's get acquainted with their capabilities.

Bombs without foreign additives

Anything that goes beyond the basic composition is understood as extraneous additives. Geysers, which do not have additional additives in their consistency, can be used by allergy sufferers and children. They are distinguished by their snow-white color and the absence of oils, fragrances and dyes in the composition.

Balloons with essential oils

Essential oils are known for their targeted action. Each substance has its own pronounced effect. Various active ingredients are specially added to the balls in order to obtain a certain effect. And if you want velvety skin, then the oil in the geyser should be mandatory.

There are never too many bombs

Bombs with foam

Foam components will make a sizzling, bubbling whirlpool in the bath. It looks beautiful, and judging by the sensations, it seems that the body is enveloped in tenderness and care.

Benefit or harm: let's talk about the pros and cons

The question of whether these products are useful or harmful for the body should be raised unequivocally. Our own health is important for us! Therefore, we will discuss whether bath bombs have minuses, compare them with pluses, what if this invention is completely dangerous?

Benefit:

with the help of the action of soda, the acid-base balance is restored, the metabolism at the cellular level is normalized, the water softens;
due to citric acid, toxins and other nasty things are removed from the skin;
from the action of sea salt, exfoliation and activation of protective processes occur due to a set of mineral substances. Elasticity is gained;
cosmetic and essential oils help to nourish and soften the skin, at the same time affecting our moods by smells.

Now let's switch to harm:

if the composition contains fragrances that only enhance the smell of oils, then you should be aware that this is a petroleum product that can cause allergies or skin irritation;
dyes give a beautiful foam, but some of these substances still get under the skin, which is clearly not useful;
sometimes glitter is included - this is certainly an unsafe product for the skin and the environment.

We weigh all the pros and cons, deciding whether such a product is worth attention. If you advocate naturalness, then it is doubtful that you will add a harmful dye or some kind of flavoring to the geyser with your own hands. Therefore, most likely, your bomb will contain only useful components.

Nice and helpful

Application rules: how to use a geyser

The only thing to do is to put the ball in the water. All its components immediately react with the liquid, and we observe a certain whirlpool with a hiss and a beautiful coloration of water, if such an element is present in a cosmetic product.

This hiss is due to the interaction of water with soda and citric acid.

Apply the tool as follows:

first take a shower without a scrub;
fill the bathtub with warm water and admire the process of dissolving the bomb;
as soon as the hissing is over, you can sink into the water yourself;
the hair is washed with shampoo to avoid excess essential oil;
the total stay in such a bath should not exceed 20 minutes.

Attention! Pregnant, lactating women and allergy sufferers should be careful and choose products without dyes and fragrances.
