Introduction
Bath bombs are a great way to relax and unwind after a long day. They’re also a fun DIY project that you can make at home. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make Vicks bath bombs. These bath bombs are infused with Vicks vapor rub, which helps to clear your sinuses and ease muscle tension.
What You’ll Need
To make Vicks bath bombs, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/2 cup Epsom salt
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Vicks vapor rub
- Food coloring (optional)
- Bath bomb molds
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together the baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salt, and cornstarch. Make sure to mix well so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Once melted, add the Vicks vapor rub and mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 3: Add Food Coloring (Optional)
If you want to add color to your bath bombs, now is the time to do it. Add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and mix well. You can use any color you like, but we recommend using blue or green to mimic the color of Vicks vapor rub.
Step 4: Press Mixture into Molds
Pack the mixture tightly into the bath bomb molds. Make sure to press down firmly so that the mixture sticks together.
Step 5: Let Bath Bombs Dry
Let the bath bombs dry in their molds for at least 24 hours. Once they’re dry, carefully remove them from the molds.
Step 6: Store Bath Bombs
Store the bath bombs in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them. They should last for several months if stored properly.
Conclusion
Making Vicks bath bombs is a fun and easy DIY project that you can do at home. They’re a great way to relax and unwind after a long day, and the Vicks vapor rub helps to clear your sinuses and ease muscle tension. Give them a try and see how they can improve your bath time experience.
