Shower Steamers Recipe
Ingredients:
- Heart Shaped Silicone Mold
- Rose Petals
- 1 tbsp dried Lavender
- 1/8 tsp Hibiscus Powder (optional, but it’s what I use to add a soft pink color to my steamers.)
- 1/2 cup Epsom Salt
- 1/2 cup Baking Soda
- 15 drops Lavender Essential Oil & Sandalwood Essential Oil (Both of these essential oils smell amazing and make your steamers feel extra luxurious, but they’re optional if you prefer a more simple scent.)

Rose Petal and Lavender Shower Steamer Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of Epsom salts and 1/2 cup of baking soda.

2. Add Essential Oils:
Stir in 15 drops of lavender essential oil and 15 drops of sandalwood essential oil.

3. Incorporate Lavender & Hibiscus:
Mix in 1 tablespoon of dried lavender and 1/8 teaspoon of hibiscus powder (optional for color).


4. Add Rose Petals:
Incorporate about 1 tablespoon of rose petals, or as many you want.

5. Moisten the Mixture:
Gradually mix in 2 tablespoons of water to form a paste-like consistency.


6. Fill the Mold:
Press the mixture firmly into the heart-shaped silicone mold.

7. Dry Overnight:
Let the steamers dry overnight, then store them in an airtight container.



How to Use Your Shower Steamers
- Place it in the shower: Put the shower steamer on the floor of your shower, away from the direct stream of water but where it will get wet enough to activate. The steamer should be placed where the water splashes but doesn’t directly hit it.
- Let it dissolve: As you take your shower, the water will cause the steamer to fizz and release essential oils into the air, creating a spa-like atmosphere.
- Inhale and enjoy the aroma: The steam and fragrance will help you relax depending on the essential oils you used. Let the steamer dissolve completely while you shower, and enjoy the refreshing aroma.
If you want them to last longer, you can use the steamer on the edge of the shower where there is less water, or keep it in a dry area until want to use it again.
