Hibiscus Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Anyone with any experience working with these things? They don't seem to be working out for me. Someone want to share because mine stay hard when I use them. They are suppose to stay firm until you rub them on your skin but that's not happening:embarasse so what's really going on with these little beads?

MarsBars Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It is suppose to break down when rubbed into the skin. What product are you using them in? Whatever product you are using them I believe it must contain at least 15% water (off the top of my head - I think this is the correct percentage). If you are using them in a product that does not have enough water, you can always presoak them in a product that does have enough water, or just plain distilled water or shower gel, etc and then add it to your product.HTHMars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I tried them in lotion. I didn't consider hydrating them first but thanks for the suggestion:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsBars Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hmmm, they should have worked in your lotion. Did you let them sit for at least three-four hours to hydrate? Sometimes it takes a little longer. If you didn't, try that first instead of presoaking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
