How to use
When using on the face and neck, after preparing your skin with skincare, take an appropriate amount in your hand, spread it evenly on your skin, and blend it in thoroughly. When using on the body, dispense a line directly from the container onto your skin, and spread it in large circular motions with your palm to blend it in evenly. When washing your face, we recommend using a makeup remover. For the body, lather the body cleanser well with a body towel or similar, and rinse thoroughly. *Be sure to close the cap tightly after use. *If it gets on your clothes, wash them thoroughly with detergent.
