Ingredients
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 10-15 drops essential oil of your choice (such as lavender, eucalyptus, or lemon)
- A spray bottle filled with water
- A silicone ice cube tray
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch. Make sure all the ingredients are combined, then add in your essential oil. Mix the ingredients together until the essential oil is evenly distributed. Next, spray the mixture with the water from the spray bottle. You want the mixture to be damp, but not soaking wet. You may need to spray it several times. Once the mixture is damp, spoon it into your silicone ice cube tray. Make sure to press the mixture down firmly so that the steamers are compact.
Once the steamers are in the tray, let them sit for 24 hours. This will give the steamers time to harden and dry out completely. Once they are completely dry, pop them out of the tray and they are ready to use! Simply place one of the shower steamers on the floor of your shower and let the hot water activate it. You will be surrounded with a wonderful scent and relaxing atmosphere.
