Proper care is key. Always clean them gently, reshape them after washing, and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the ferrules (the metal part) in water and storing them in damp environments.

A small amount of shedding, especially during initial uses or first washes, is normal. If shedding persists or is significant, ensure you're washing them gently and allowing them to dry completely without direct heat. If the issue continues, contact customer support.

Ensure the sponge is thoroughly dampened before use. Run it under water until fully saturated, then squeeze out all excess water until it is just damp. A damp sponge will be softer and blend more effectively. Patting, not dragging, motion also improves blending.

This often indicates that the tools need cleaning; product buildup can hinder smooth application. Also, ensure you're using proper technique – apply product in light layers and blend thoroughly using gentle patting or buffing motions. Less product on the tool often yields a better result.
