"Hello! just received my order of the different vita beads and tried one on my hand to feel the beads. I just took a few and rubbed in my hands and they didn't seems to "burst" or do anything - I'm sure it's because I used them raw. What is the best way to use these? (I apologize if this should be clear.) Thanks!"
