◇ If the sponge becomes dirty, it will be difficult for the foundation to adhere to the skin, so please keep it clean at all times. ◇When the sponge becomes dirty, apply about 1 mL (slightly larger than a 10-yen coin size) of the separately sold "Shiseido Sponge Cleaner N" directly to the dirty area without wetting your hands or the sponge, and wipe the sponge with the pad of your finger. Gently rub it to blend it well with the dirt, and then lightly press it with water or lukewarm water to wash it. After rinsing thoroughly so that no detergent remains, drain the water and dry well in the shade before using. ◇ If the feeling of use or finish deteriorates, please purchase a new sponge. ◇If the case cannot be opened and closed smoothly, please purchase a new case.
