Homemade Bubble Bath – Wash Your Cares Away
Homemade bubble bath is a wonderful product, and very easy to make. It there anything as relaxing and decadent than reclining in a delightful, bubbly hot bath? There are very few things in life that are so enjoyable, refreshing and inexpensive as soaking your cares away in the bath. After a stressful day, a luxurious bath is just what you need.
Homemade bubble bath allows you to avoid the horrible, harsh chemical ingredients of commercial bubble bath products. Unfortunately, these same chemicals are added to children’s bath products as well. By making your own bath and skin care items, you can avoid exposing yourself and your children to these chemicals. At the same time, making skin and bath products allows you to customize your experience. By choosing your own custom essential oils and carrier oils such as coconut and olive oils, you can make custom scented and highly moisturizing products.
Homemade bubble bath saves money as well. You can make a great bubble bath using inexpensive liquid castile soap, or save even more money by grating a bar of the same soap to use in your recipes. Liquid glycerin, a by-product of soap manufacturing, is another inexpensive addition to bubble bath that helps moisturize and soften your skin. If you prefer your glycerin to be from vegetable sources only, that particular kind of glycerin is available. It is a bit more expensive than the glycerin typically found in grocery and drug stores, and is sometimes more difficult to find. If you have any difficulty finding any ingredients for spa products, you can generally find them online very easily.
Homemade bubble bath should be used quickly, as it doesn’t contain the preservatives of commercial products. It should be stored in an unbreakable bottle, out of reach of children, as they can get easily carried away with the amount of this soap that they add to their baths. You don’t want to end up with a bathroom that looks like the scene of a comedy movie from an excess of bubbles! Kids also do strange things like drink things that they are not supposed to, so always err on the side of caution.
Homemade bubble bath also makes a thoughtful gift. In fact, you can make up a nice, inexpensive spa gift basket with this product, some homemade bath salts and homemade bath bombs for just a few dollars. You can also make bath teas to include, which are lovely bunches of herbs and tea put into large tea bags or tied up in cheesecloth. It’s so much fun, and so easy to make spa products like these? Don’t you want to try?
