what are shower steamers

Shower steamers are tablets that dissolve in water to create scented therapeutic steam. They are essentially a bath bomb for your shower, providing the therapeutic benefits of essential oils, but in half the time of a bath. Shower steamers are made with baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils, and are placed on the floor of your shower. As the tablet gets wet, it dissolves and releases essential oils into the hot shower steam, providing an aromatherapeutic effect. Shower steamers are great for clearing out your sinuses, detoxing and clarifying your skin, and re-creating the spa experience at home. To use a shower steamer, simply place one tablet at the foot of your shower in a stream of water. You can expect the tablet to last approximately five minutes if its in a direct stream of water. Note that shower steamers should not be used as a bath bomb.
