Done that? Now to use the layer styles, simply import them into Photoshop by using your preset manager (Edit > Preset Manager).

Once that’s done, you can start using your layer styles! How to use layer styles in Photoshop, you ask? Well, to use your new-found layer styles, simply create a new layer (the best example is of a shape, e.g. the default rectangle shape) and then go to Windows > Styles, and select the style that you want from there — and voila!
