Should You Put Shower Steamers Under the Showerhead or to the Side?

What Is a Shower Steamer?

The easiest way to explain a shower steamer is to compare it to another popular self-care implement: the bath bomb. Bath bombs are basically bundles of skin-healthy ingredients and aromatherapeutic scents (and often fun, colorful glitter) that can be dropped into your bath. Once submerged, bath bombs dissolve and infuse all of their goodness into the water.
Similarly, a shower steamer is made with ingredients that are meant to be good for your skin and body, as well as aromatherapeutic elements. These turn your everyday shower into a seriously luxurious experience that makes even the smallest bathroom into a five-star spa.

How Do You Use shower steamers?

Step One: Get Your Steamer Wet… but Don’t Soak It
Place your shower steamer at the opposite end of the showerhead as you’re waiting for the water to warm so that the steamer gets a little wet. This will activate the steamer and begin the process of releasing those delicious essential oils into the steamy air of your shower.
Step Two: Place Your Steamer Away From the Showerhead
Once you’re ready to step into the shower and your steamer is slightly damp — you should start to smell it within 30 seconds. At that point, you’ll want to move it away from the showerhead.
Step Three: Enjoy!
That’s it! It’s truly that simple. It may take some trial and error to find the perfect place in your shower to put your shower steamer so that it dissolves and releases essential oils effectively without dissolving it too quickly, but once you find the perfect spot, you’re off to the races.
