Using this Jay Strongwater Bette Eye compact mirror is easy. Just open it up and use the regular mirror for a normal view or the magnified one for a closer look. When not in use, keep it in the gift box to protect it from scratches. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals as they may damage the hand - enameling and Swarovski crystals. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its beauty over time.
