One of the best things about bath bombs is that they come in a wide variety of colors and scents, so you can choose the perfect one that suits your mood. Some popular scents include lavender, rose and peppermint, and you can even find bath bombs infused with glitter or other fun additives.
To use a bathbomb, fill your bathtub with warm water and drop the bomb in. As it dissolves, it releases its colorful, fragrant contents into the water, creating a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Some people even like to add a few drops of their favorite essential oil to the bath water for an extra relaxation boost.

This can help soothe dry, itchy skin and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
