• Remember that water can make or damage the slime. Remember to only add a little water if you don't want the slime to shake.

Add a little dry hand sanitizer. Another way to soften slime is to add a drop or two of dry hand sanitizer. You can choose any brand. Place the slime in a bowl and add a dry hand sanitizer. Use a spatula to mix the hand sanitizer into the slime. Then you can knead until the slime is soft. Now your slime is also antibacterial (albeit only for a short period of time).

• You can add more hand sanitizer if the slime isn't soft enough.

Soften the slime with lotion (moisturizer). The moisturizing lotion keeps your skin supple and does the same for the slime. Let check it out! Simply put one or two tablespoons of lotion in a bowl (equivalent to 4 or 5 sprays if you get the product from a spray hose). Add a little water and stir both ingredients well. Now comes the most interesting part. Place the slime in the bowl and press into the mixture. Once the lotion has been coated with the lotion, you can remove it and knead with your hands until the slime is soft.

Add more glue. If you make a slime using a recipe that uses glue, Borax, detergent or liquid starch, adding more glue can help restore the slime. Add just one tablespoon of glue at a time and knead until the slime is soft.

• Be sure to use the same glue that is found in slime. For example, don't add milk glue to a transparent slime.

Method 2 of 2: Soften the slime with heat

1. 

   
   
   Soak the slime in warm water. Pour some warm water into the bowl and place the slime in it. You can use your hand to rotate the slime in the water. Leave the slime in the water for about a minute. It seemed like the slime was split right now, but in reality it was fine.

2. 

   Microwave the slime for about 10 seconds. Remove the slime from the water and squeeze. You need to make the slime water dry. Place the slime in a microwave-usable bowl and microwave it to heat for about 10 seconds, then remove the slime from the microwave and wait about a minute for the slime to cool. It's not good to let the slime burn your hand.

3. 

   
   
   Add some moisturizing lotion to make the slime softer. Use one or two tablespoons of lotion. Any brand's lotion is fine. If you use a scented moisturizer, the slime will smell that too. Use your hands to dip the slime in a moisturizing lotion. It is done! You are done with the dry slime.
   • If the slime feels too sticky, add a little thickener. The thickener can be whatever you used to make your original slime, such as half a teaspoon of Borax dissolved in a cup of filtered water.
