Any hand or body lotion will work for this method. However, avoid using a body butter or ointment as these tend to be thicker. This method will help to make the slime stretchier, softer, and stickier, and can be used on new or old slime.

Take off any rings or bracelets before kneading the slime as it can be a slightly messy process. If you have a large ball of slime this could take up to 5 minutes.

Continue to mix lotion into the slime until it reaches your desired consistency. Make sure to wipe the surface that you kneaded the slime on with a surface cleaner and a cloth. This will get rid of any stickiness and leave it nice and hygienic.

Don’t use very hot or boiling water as this can cause burns. Always ask an adult to help you when you are using hot water. Use a bowl that is large enough to fit the slime in.

If the slime isn’t in a ball to start with, use your hands to squish it into a ball. This will make it easier to handle in the water.

Don’t worry if initially, the texture of the slime is a bit strange because the more that you knead it; the softer it will become.

If the water in the bowl gets cold, refill it with hot water.
