How to Use a Shower Steamer (And Why You'll Love It)

Shower steamers are one of the easiest ways to add a little luxury to your everyday routine — no bathtub required. If you've never tried one, here's a simple guide to get the most out of yours.

Step 1: Find the Right Spot

Place your shower steamer on the shower floor, away from the direct stream of water, or set it on a small shower shelf or ledge. You want it to get misted, not soaked and dissolved in seconds.

Step 2: Let the Steam Work

As warm water and steam hit the shower steamer, it slowly releases essential oils into the air. Take a few deep breaths and let the aroma fill your shower. This is where the magic happens — no need to rub it directly on your skin.

Step 3: Enjoy Your Shower as Usual

Wash up like you normally would while the steamer continues to release its scent throughout your shower. Most steamers last through one full shower.

Step 4: Choose Your Scent for Your Mood

Feeling stressed? Reach for lavender or eucalyptus. Need a morning pick-me-up? Try citrus or peppermint. Keep a few different scents on hand so you can match your shower to how you're feeling that day.

A Few Tips

  • Store shower steamers in a dry place — moisture will cause them to dissolve early.
  • One steamer per shower is usually plenty.
  • If you have sensitive skin, keep the steamer away from direct water contact just to be safe.
