Using this Jay Strongwater compact mirror is a breeze. Just open the compact and use the regular mirror for general viewing and the magnified one for closer inspection. When handling it, be gentle as the hand - set Swarovski crystals are delicate. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures. Store it in the gift box when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust.
