How to use a bath bomb at night?

What are bath bombs and how do they work?

Bath bombs are a fantastic way to make your bath more exciting and enjoyable.

You have endless choices of bath bombs because they're available in many beautiful colors and fragrances, shapes, and sizes and contain nourishing oils, moisturizing butters, and salts.

Bath bombs contain common ingredients like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), citric acid, and fragrance elements like lavender, chamomile, or other ingredients. Unlike shampoos and soaps, they aren't synthetic concoctions. Bath bombs contain natural scent, color ingredients, and sometimes sparkle-inducing components.

Baths and sleep: the science

A few studies have shown that taking a bath at night can help you sleep better at night—and it’s all about body temperature. A 1997 study by the Cornell University Medical College found that the body’s temperature naturally dips at night. It’s this sudden drop in temperature that helps your body fall asleep faster and achieve a deeper rest.
When you take a bath in a warm tub, your temperature naturally rises, and the cool-down period immediately after your bath is actually what relaxes you. A 1999 study by Gunma University in Japan measured the effects of a hot bath before bedtime on sleep in 60 people of varying ages. Participants who received a warm bath reported better, deeper sleep.

If your goal of your bath is to get a more peaceful night’s sleep, there are a few things you can do to enhance the experience. Consider adding a natural bath bomb to your soak. Bath bombs are usually filled with natural sleep-inducing scents and herbs like lavender, chamomile, and magnesium.

Using a Bath Bomb at Night

Bath bombs make bath time more fun and relaxing. Follow these steps for the ideal nighttime soak:

1. Fill your tub with comfortably hot water and get your supplies - candles, music, etc.
2. Place the fizzing bath bomb in the water and let it dissolve, releasing oils, butters and scents.
3. Relax and breathe deeply as the ingredients nourish your skin. Enjoy the aroma.
4. After letting it work, don't soak too long. Pat yourself dry.
5. Rinse out any residue or color from the tub by scrubbing with a brush or sponge.

The bath bomb transforms your bath into a soothing spa ritual. Let the fizzing show create a serene atmosphere as you decompress from the day. Rinsing the tub afterwards keeps it fresh for your next relaxing nighttime soak.
