Can regular shower gel be added?

Question

Can you also put in the bath bomb after you put in the bubble bath mixture? Will the bath bomb clean my body or just make the scent?

Community Answer

You can put the bath bomb in after the bubble bath mixture. Bath bombs are usually for scent and color, so still wash with soap as well. Bath bombs are just for enjoyment and relaxation purposes.

Question

Can I use some shampoo to make a bubble bath?

Community Answer

It depends. If your shampoo is not very thick or smooth, it will probably work just fine. If it is thick and smooth, you might want to dilute it with some water first, before adding it to your bath.

Question

How deep should my bubble bath be?

Community Answer

It should not be so deep that when you get in the water rises over the edge of the bath. Halfway or three-quarters full is a good measure.

Question

Do you use shampoo and conditioner on your hair in a bubble bath?

Community Answer

It's up to you, but it might be a better idea to shower and wash your hair before or after your bath, so you don't get the dirt from your hair or your hair products into your bath water, and don't get the bubble bath solution into your hair.

Is it better to use hand or body soap when making my own bubble bath?

Body soap is most likely better because your entire body is going into the bubble bath, however either works.
