Bath Bombs Yes or No?
Ask a Question
I've never been a one for Bath bombs I have never liked the idea of them, colourants, pieces of things etc floating in the bath with me. Am I the only one? Or has anyone found any with any benefits at all or are they just novelty?
Just use Epsom salts for the benefits at a fraction of the cost ( I buy them by the 5kg bag ) . If you want a nice smell just chuck in a few drops of essential oils .
Lauren274 Only problem I find is that they tend to leave your fingers and toes very dry after a longish soak . Moisturiser / aftersun is recommended after a long bath .
Golfforall I'm going to grab some tommorow so I'll make sure to get some moisturiser for after. Thankyou so much!
Lauren274 If you find they work I bought 20kg !! from here for about Β£20 six months ago now a bit dearer https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FQMN17R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You need a cupfull or 2 per bath .
Golfforall I use Epsom salts too, normally when theyβre on offer at Holland and Barrett but I might buy this bulk bag if I can find space for it!
I do like a bath bomb but not them ones with bits in! Soap and glory do lovely ones and smell amazing. I also love bubble bath too!
Depends for me. I prefer Lush Bath Bombs and they leave my skin feeling healthy and clean afterwards. Ive tried cheaper ones and theyve dried the hell out of my skin
chelseaturpin yes lush I forgot about those, a bit more pricey but worth paying more for quality sometimes, I hate the ones with bits, maybe there is a decent one out there which I may enjoy one day
I think if you get ones that are for a specific purpose they can be great, but I also dislike having things floating around the bath. I agree with Golfforall - Epsom salts are cheaper and work well.
Iβve seen Westlab scented Epsom salts in Home Bargains, Savers, and a few other places for Β£2.99/kg if scent is especially important to you and you want something ready-made, but you can get plain Epsom salts for less and scent it yourself.
I did enjoy bath bombs - but we no longer have a bath - just a shower so sadly is a luxury we have to do without now. That said I have no regrets spending out the money to get a decent shower installed last year.
didbygraham tbh I honestly prefer a shower! I feel much cleaner and love exfoliating without the grains being in the bottom of the bath tub, I hardly ever bath for washing purposes but more to relax with essential oil before bed, but random thought popped into my head am I the only one that hates Bath bombs
Lauren274 TBH I think epsom salts are more for muscular therapy than relaxation . Radox is my choice for a relaxing bath , or sometimes a mixture of Radox and Epsoms . Then again as a bloke I'm more interested in it soothing my aching muscles than what it smells like .
Lauren274 yes - I do prefer a shower any day but I do miss the occasional long soak in a hot bath - radox to help relax and sooth aching muscles, lights out, lit candles lit, music on - and a glass or two of wine. The perfect evening in!
Golfforall Epsom salts are great for muscle therapy. Plus I definitely agree with the radox feel they actually do help you relax, and smell great too!
didbygraham sounds like the perfect evening in lol. I'd probably fall asleep with the candles lit after wine I can't hack it
To be honest, I have never noticed much benefit from bath bombs and I do love a bath.
But my friend got me a shower bomb last Christmas. You set it in the tray and the stream causes it to melt. Not much health benefit, but the smell was incredible, like being at a spa! A lovely treat!

This kind of idea, but definitely keep an eye out for special offers! The smell just made me feel like I was in a spa
Some bath bombs are great and I do enjoy them, but canβt stand those with dried bits and oils.I have to wash and wash myself again to remove all that grease and nasty dry bits.
My friend got me one big one for my birthday have never used them before look nice smelt nice so I thought I'd try it I get in the bath just chilling out then I realized it was a glitter one I looked like this so no not a fan
I have only used them once, they had rose petals, smelled wonderful and were really relaxing until it came to cleaning the bath !
beccatavender yes I think that can be one of the issues, is the residue they can leave behind or when your actually in the bath, I hate the grainy bits in bottom of the tub. And I hate cleaning at the best of times
I have never liked them but when the kids were younger it was fun for them to enjoy bath time. I only shower now.
I have some in the bathroom purely because they smell nice and look pretty in a little basket, but never used one yet.
I used to like them, not so much these days. Tho I do indulge in the odd couple from LUSH, particularly in the colder months. I prefer bubble bath & oils tho.
