How to use Shower Steamers

Making your shower routine an intoxicating experience by using shower steamers is a simple process to follow whenever you take a shower.

Start by letting your hot shower build up steam inside the shower. You can start with extremely hot water and adjust the water temperature accordingly afterward.

Place one shower steamer on your shower floor. But find a location where the shower stream won’t hit the shower steamer directly, simply close enough for water splashes to hit it. The idea is to let the fizzy create a steam effect, slowly but steadily.

Allow the shower steam to activate the fizz and release the aromatic essential oils throughout the shower. The warm steam and the incredible aromatherapy will let you relax and enjoy your shower like never before.

Helpful tips & tricks:

• Create a nice hot shower to generate steam, which is powerful enough to release the essential oils in the product.
• Avoid letting the shower tablet get too wet. We recommend getting the shower steamer tablet wet when activating it only. Then place it in a corner area to avoid direct stream - this will extend the life of the product.
• You can easily also use it in your bathtub while taking a shower if you do not have a shower corner (but don't throw it into bath water to take a bath!
