One of our favorite things about shower steamers is that they’re super easy to use! But let’s walk through some simple steps so you can be sure you’re getting the most out of your new favorite product.
1. Place your shower steamer at the opposite end of the showerhead as you’re waiting for the water to warm so that the steamer gets a little wet. This will activate the steamer and begin the process of releasing those delicious essential oils into the steamy air of your shower.
But again, it’s not a bath bomb, so don’t soak it or let it become submerged. The idea is long-term release rather than instant gratification.
2. Once you’re ready to step into the shower and your steamer is slightly damp — you should start to smell it within 30 seconds. At that point, you’ll want to move it away from the showerhead.
You can place it on a side or corner of your tub, as long as it’s not getting repeatedly splashed. If you have a shower caddy underneath the showerhead, you could palace it there so that it stays dry.
It’s also possible to get a mesh container or even a suction-cup soap holder specifically for your shower steamer. Just place it on the far side of your tub so that the steamer isn’t hit with water directly. This is a more advanced move for the shower steamer devotees among us.
3. That’s it! It’s truly that simple. It may take some trial and error to find the perfect place in your shower to put your shower steamer so that it dissolves and releases essential oils effectively without dissolving it too quickly, but once you find the perfect spot, you’re off to the races.
Enjoy the luxurious, natural scents that fill your shower, and appreciate yourself for making this simple part of your day a tad more joyful.
