How To Use Bath Melts:
1. Drop one melt into warm running water. It will slowly dissolve, leaving a light layer of oil on the water’s surface.
2. Sit back and relax.
3. Be cautious when getting out of the tub, as the bath melts can make the surface slippery.
4. Clean the tub afterward to ensure it’s no longer slippery.
5. Store any extra melts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They also make wonderful gifts.
