Bath bombs are also known as Bath Fizzies and for those who have not heard about this before, these are actually like huge balls that act like Alka-Seltzers when you put them in your bath. It really is fun to watch the bath bombs spin, swirl and whirl around your bath while it releases its fragrant scent as well as its skin-softening agents. Definitely a real treat for those who want to put some more fun into their bath time.

However, if you actually find bath bombs to be quite expensive or you just don’t have the money to spare for such a luxury, you can actually prepare your very own handmade bath bombs at the comfort of your own home. How? Read on to find out.

First things first, you need to have all the ingredients ready before you get started on making your very first batch of handmade bath bombs: citric acid, baking soda, witch hazel, your choice of coloring and fragrance oil, and a dome shaped mold are all you need to make your very own bath bombs.

Once you already have all these ingredients ready, start blending together the citric acid with the baking soda. According to people who are already experts in making bath bombs, this step is actually very important because if you not blend the citric acid with the baking soda very well, you will actually end up with very grainy bath bombs, and surely, nobody wants that? After blending those two ingredients together, then it is time for you to add your coloring – experts suggest making use of dry pigments to get the best results. However, don’t go crazy when in comes to adding the color because if ever you find your coloring to be quite pale, just a dab of witch hazel will already help the color pop up. Also, based on your preference this is also the time when you can already start adding the fragrance oil of your choice.

Now start getting ready for the hard part. With your squirt bottle loaded with witch hazel, start squirting your first batch of bath bombs while stirring together your ingredients with your other hand. You will know that it is time for you to start putting your mixture of bath bombs into the molds when everything starts sticking together when you squish it. It is also imperative that you take note of the time because when the mixture sits out for too long it becomes too hard and you won’t be able to mold the bath bombs anymore but if you squirt on too much witch hazel then you will only spoil your bath bombs as these will start to have its fizzing reaction. Once you get this step right, just simply put your bombs in the mold then wait a few minutes before tapping your finished bath bombs out of the mold then simply let these air dry for around four hours then you now have your very own homemade bath bombs to enjoy or to sell.
