Shower steamers are a great way to elevate your shower experience, providing aromatherapy benefits and a relaxing atmosphere. Here’s how to use them effectively:
1. Place the Steamer on the Floor
- Location: Place the shower steamer on the floor of your shower, ideally near the edge or away from the direct stream of water (but still within the spray zone).
- Tip: Avoid putting it directly under the water stream, as too much water will dissolve it too quickly. Ideally, the steamer should be in an area where it will get moist but not drenched.
2. Let the Water Activate It
- As the hot water hits the steamer, it will begin to fizz and release essential oils. The steam and heat from the shower help disperse the fragrance into the air.
- You don’t need to do anything once it’s in place; just enjoy the scent as it fills the shower.
3. Inhale and Enjoy
- Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the aroma from the steamers enhance your shower experience. The essential oils in the steamers may help with relaxation, focus, or even sinus relief, depending on the type of scent.
4. Use One Steamer at a Time
- If you're using a standard shower steamer, use only one at a time for optimal experience. Some people cut them into halves or quarters if they want to stretch out the use or have a lighter scent.
5. After Shower Care
- Once you're done, you can simply leave the steamer where it is, as it should have dissolved completely by the end of your shower. If there's any leftover residue, you can rinse it down the drain, or keep it for another shower session if it hasn’t fully dissolved.
Additional Tips:
- Storage: Keep your shower steamers in a cool, dry place before use to preserve the scent and prevent them from dissolving prematurely.
- Scent Variety: Choose a shower steamer with the scent profile that suits your mood. For example:
- Lavender for relaxation and stress relief
- Peppermint or eucalyptus for clearing sinuses and refreshing energy
- Citrus for an uplifting and energizing experience
Following these steps, you can enjoy a spa-like experience in your own shower!
