Old styled bubble bath
This is a traditional bubble bath method that comprises natural ingredients like egg whites and honey (sugar can also be used instead of honey). Follow this procedure to make your bubble bath:
Step 1: Take half a cup of liquid soap and mix one egg white, sugar (or honey) in it. Start filling the tub with water and pour the mixture below the running water so that bubbles get created naturally.
Step 2: The egg white makes the bubbles last longer and gives a truly amazing experience but using it is not mandatory. Therefore, vegans can omit the egg white and replace it with glycerine or coconut oil. Now, pour a few drops of almond oil or any light oil for a relaxing experience.
Step 3: Enter the bathtub and enjoy the luxurious bubble bath!
