Bath sparkling wines are fun and easy to use. In a few moments a mountain of soft scented foam will form on the surface of the water, making the skin soft and silky. They look like bath bombs in appearance, but work a little differently. This article will show you how to use both standard and multipurpose bath sparkling wine.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Use a Standard Bath Sparkling Wine (Disposable)
Step 1. Plan the occasion in advance
Before using your bath sparkling wine, make sure you have enough time to relax in the tub. You should have at least 20 minutes. Bath sparkling wines are a luxury and not worth wasting for a quick 5 minute bath. Save them for occasions when you have time to pamper yourself for a long time.
Step 2. Consider cutting the bath bubbly in half or quarter with a sharp knife
Since they create a lot of foam, it is often sufficient to use only part of it to fill the tub with bubbles. By breaking the bath sparkling wine into smaller pieces, you will extend its shelf life, while also saving money. You can store the remaining parts in a box or bag, as long as they can be sealed tightly.
- Keep the label. You can stick it on the box or bag to find out what the name, fragrance and expiration date of the bath sparkling wine are.
- Protect the container, bag or box from water. The unused parts of the bath sparkling wine must remain perfectly dry.
Step 3. Check that the tub is clean, then start filling it with water
It needs to be at a temperature that makes you feel comfortable. Now is the time to use the bath sparkling wine.
Step 4. Crumble it and hold it under running water
The fragments will begin to melt, releasing a fabulous scent and colors. A soft, dense foam will begin to appear on the surface of the water.
- Some people prefer to put the bath bubbly bits in a colander rather than holding them in their hand, to prevent some from falling into the water.
- The stronger the water flow, the greater the amount of bubbles.
- Some bath sparkling wines are colored, but at the beginning the hue of the water in the tub may remain almost unchanged. The color will become more intense as the fragments begin to dissolve.
Step 5. Turn off the tap when the tub is full, then shake the water with your hand
The bath sparkling wine will spread evenly creating even more foam. If the amount of bubbles does not seem sufficient, crumble another piece of sparkling wine and add it to the water.
Step 6. Enter the tub and relax for 10-20 minutes
Light a few candles, put on some music or read a few pages of a book. Bathing is supposed to last longer than showering, to give your body and mind time to unwind.
The foam should last about 20 minutes
Method 2 of 3: Use a Multi-Purpose Bath Sparkling Wine
Step 1. Plan the occasion in advance
Bath sparkling wines are a luxury and not worth wasting for a quick 5 minute bath. You should have at least 20 minutes to relax in the tub and enjoy the pleasure and effects of the foam.
Step 2. Prepare the reusable bath sparkling wine
As this is a new type of product, you may struggle to find it. What distinguishes a multi-purpose bath sparkling wine from a normal one is the harder consistency, which means that it does not crumble easily. It will generally be attached to a wooden stick or piece of string and can be reused up to ten times.
Step 3. Check that the tub is clean, then start filling it with water
It needs to be at a temperature that makes you feel comfortable. Prepare the bath sparkling wine and a towel to lay it on after use to dry.
Step 4. Move the bath sparkling wine into the water
In this case you will not have to put it under the direct jet of the tap. When the tub is full, turn off the water and dip in the sparkling wine. To create lots of foam, you have to move it quickly under the surface of the water, until you are satisfied with the quantity, and then store it in the dry.
Step 5. Place the bath sparkling wine on the towel and let it dry
When it's dry again, you can put it back in its packaging or in an airtight container. Don't put it away still wet, or the moisture will get trapped in the package and eventually dissolve it.
Step 6. Enter the tub and relax
If you want, light a few candles, put on some music or read a few pages of a book. The lather should last about 20 minutes, so take your time.
Method 3 of 3: Alternative Uses of Bath Sparkling Wine
Step 1. Use it to perfume the house
Smell your bath sparkling wine, and if it smells like you like it, use it to deodorize the air in your home. This is a great alternative use if you don't like soaking in the tub. Place it on a plate that matches its colors, then store it somewhere safe in the room, such as on a shelf, dressing table, or desk.
In addition to perfuming the air, it will serve as a graceful decoration
Step 2. Use it to keep clothes fresh and fragrant
Tuck it into a small chiffon bag and place it in a corner of the closet or dresser. Bath sparkling wines contain bicarbonate, which is able to absorb bad odors from fabrics, and essential oils, which give a pleasant scent.
Step 3. Use it when taking a foot bath
Bath sparkling wines make the skin smooth and soft. At the end of a long day of walking, there is nothing better than pampering your feet with a foot bath. Fill a simple basin with lukewarm water, then add a few fragments of bath sparkling wine. Sit comfortably, swirl the water lightly with your hand, and then dip your feet.
Step 4. Use it to perfume carpets
Crumble a few scraps of bath sparkling wine onto the carpets before vacuuming them. Some people find it a very useful method for scenting and absorbing odors from fabric surfaces in the home.
