They're scented, fizzy, and fun, but do bath bombs really do anything (besides stain your tub)? We talked to a cosmetic chemist and a dermatologist to find out.
If there's one thing I've learned about the Internet, it's that you never know what will blow up. Case in point: Not long ago, my Twitter and Tumblr feeds were suddenly flooded with posts tagged #BathBombing. The meme featured parodies showing everything from the bomb emoji to eggs being tossed in water ("Love my new bath bomb!" read the captions) — presumably mocking the trend of teenagers tossing Lush's colorful, fragrant balls of bath soak in a tub and breathlessly documenting it for the Internet. Just like Gangnam Style and #TheDress, we'll never know exactly why bath bombing took off, but it did spark a conversation around the Allure offices: Do bath bombs actually do anything?
