Lunaescent was designed for direct application of skincare products to the silicone pads. Some skincare containers, however, cannot be applied directly because they are too small. That's what the spatula is for! Simply use the spatula to scoop the skincare product from the container and apply it to the Lunaescent pad. You can now apply the product to your skin! The Lunaescent Spatula is easily cleaned with soap and water.
