How to use
1. Use the built-in tweezer to take out a pad and gently wipe from the inner to outer areas of the face along the skin texture. 2. For areas needing intensive firming or radiance care, place the pad on the skin like a mini mask and leave it on for a few minutes. 3. Lightly pat the remaining essence onto the skin and close the lid tightly to keep the pads from drying out. *Tip* Use the smooth side as a quick soothing facial mask, and the embossed side to gently exfoliate and refine the look of skin texture.
