Always clean your FAQ™ LED Mask thoroughly after use. Simply wet a lint-free cloth or towel with warm water, and wipe the silicone surface of the mask.

NOTE: This product is not 100% waterproof, so do not wash it under running water. Never use cleaning products containing alcohol, petrol or acetone, as they may irritate the skin and damage the silicone.
