How to Use
Soak the cleansing puff in lukewarm water until fully saturated. Squeeze the puff gently to remove excess water. Apply your preferred cleanser (foaming cleanser, facial soap, or oil cleanser) to the puff or directly to your face. Gently wipe your face using the puff, moving from the center of the face outward toward the edges. Rinse your face thoroughly with water. After use, wash the puff thoroughly under running water to remove all cleanser and debris. Squeeze out excess water and allow the puff to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before next use.
