Tips to Make Cactus Bath Bombs
- Grab the succulent sprinkles here.
- Let the bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours before use, 36 if you live in a high-humidity area.
- Keep them in an airtight container and remove one for use.
- Never use food coloring in bath fizzies, as it can stain skin and the tub. Mica powder or soap colorants are best.
