I came across Konjac Sponge Co at an Alexandra Palace convention displaying their cute puffs, and I was instantly intrigued by them. Once I got a feel for one and felt how incredibly soft and smooth these were; I was even more sold and had to try one out for myself.
Konjac sponges are completely natural, cruelty-free and use the purest products to make their sponges suitable for everyone and anyone – even soft and gentle enough for babies too. Konjac, I have learned, is actually a native Asian potato and this moisture rich plant fibre is mixed and handmade into their sponges. This special ingredient has been used for medicine and food as well as beauty for over 1,500 years because of its health giving properties.
Although these sponges work effectively with just water, if you like to use your face wash with your fingers – it is like an upgrade from that – as they are so gentle on the skin. But they work to give deeper exfoliation than your fingertips without being harsh, so daily use will leave your skin balanced from its neutral pH level, cleansed and gently exfoliated.
Konjac Sponge Co. have a range of sponges to address all types of skin concerns, which are made from appropriate key ingredients so you can find the perfect sponge for your skin.
I got their delightful Heart Clay Sponge with added French Pink Clay which works to revitalize dull or tired skin. Clay has been used to treat the skin since ancient times – and for good reason too. Good old-fashioned earth has so many benefits and is particularly great for detoxifying your skin.
They feel absolutely luscious once soaked, all you need to do is (no product necessary.. I like this in the morning) massage into your face with small circular movements. Concentrate on problem areas or larger pores and afterwards you’ll have such clean and refreshed skin, ready for the rest of your skincare regime. Rinse out and hang these up to dry so they are kept sanitized.
Couldn’t recommend these lovely sponges enough, they are the ultimate beauty gift… or just treat yourself of course! My family and friends are certainly getting some of these in their stockings this year.
