If your idea of “me time” is a shower where no one yells your name through the door, congratulations — you’re officially an adult. And while not all of us have time for a long bubble bath or a spa day, we can drop a fizzy little aromatic puck on the shower floor and pretend we’re in a fancy resort.
Enter: DIY Shower Steamers.
They’re basically bath bombs for people who don’t take baths… or don’t have the time, patience, or emotional energy to sit still for 20 minutes.
They’re cheap, easy, smell amazing, make great gifts, and take about 10 minutes of effort followed by one very satisfying shower.
Let’s elevate your daily rinse.

You only need about five ingredients to whip up these amazing DIY shower steamers. Several items you may already have around the house, but if you need anything, we’ve included quick links to the items on Amazon.
This lavender essential oil is on of our favorites when making homemade shower steamers. 100% Pure and Natural Lavender Oil | Premium Grade
If you are making DIY shower steamers and plan to give them as gifts, these cute silicone molds are a great choice. Three unique molds, each with six cavities.
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
These three are the holy trinity of calm, fizz, and structure.
Choose your vibe:
Can't decide which oil you'd like to use for your shower steamer? Get a variety pack! This set of Now Essential Oils Citrus Blend includes Orange, Tangerine and Lemon.
Add 25–35 drops of essential oil directly to the dry mixture.
If using menthol crystals, melt 1–2 teaspoons in a double boiler before adding.
Stir well so everything distributes evenly.
Using a spray bottle, spritz the mixture 1–2 times, stirring after each spray.
You want it to feel like barely damp sand.
If it starts fizzing — stop spraying (that means too much water).
When you can squeeze the mixture in your hand and it holds its shape, you’re ready.
Press the mixture firmly into your molds. Really pack it down so they don’t crumble after drying.
Smooth the tops with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Let the steamers dry:
Pop them out of the molds once they’re completely hardened.
Place 1 steamer on the shower floor, just outside the direct stream of water (IMPORTANT).
You want the steam (not the water) to activate the yummy scent!
The hotter the shower, the better the scent throw.
