I love the idea of soaking in a tub with lovely scented rose petals. I thought that maybe I could come up with a similar experience for the shower.
Tub teas are a blend of ingredients that soften and scent the water in which you bathe. The shower tea that I have created will give you a fragrant, uplifting experience with all of the skin benefits of rose petals.
Rose petals are widely used in skincare products. They help to soothe and nourish the skin. A rose petal shower can easily become part of your self care routine.
The ingredients used in the Rose Petal Shower Tea are safe for your skin. If you have any concerns, try scrubbing just one area first and wait to see if you have any adverse reactions.
•Mix the dried rose petals and colloidal oatmeal. You can store this part in a glass jar. Keep the grated bar soap in a separate container.
•Fill your soap saver bag with a heaping 1/3 cup (or 7 tablespoons) of the dry shower tea mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of grated bar soap to the bag.
•In the shower, rub the soap bag between your palms to mix and activate the contents. You are now ready to enjoy an invigorating aromatherapy experience. Add more water to the soap bag, as needed.
If you don't grow your own roses, you can purchase dried rose petals. For my Rose Petal Shower Tea I used packets of unscented Aveeno oatmeal. One packet is about 1/3 cup which you will mix with approximately 2 cups of dried rose petals. I use a castile bar soap for my Rose Petal Shower Tea and it works quite nicely.
There are lots of different types of soap saver bags. The sisal variety will give you a refreshing exfoliating shower experience. Depending on how much you want to spend, you can get soap saver bags that can be laundered.
Rose Petal Shower Tea is a wonderful treat for the senses and it makes a great handmade gift. Enjoy your rose petal shower!
