The Japanese Konjac Sponge is a great exfoliation tool that is perfect for everyday use. The konjac sponge comes in many different infusion options, the one that we recently received is infused with green tea. Green tea extract contains anti-inflammatory properties that helps control acne and unwanted blemishes.
The Japanese Konjac Sponge is made from the Konjac plant root that is grown in Japan. It is 100% eco-friendly and can be used by adults as well as babies. Used by the Japanese for more than 100 years, the cleansing sponge is gaining in worldwide popularity. The unique alkaline layer of wet Konjac sponge neutralizes slightly acidic grime, which helps to break down dirt and oil, leaving the skin fresh and clean. The sponge does not contain artificial fragrance or preservatives. It also balances skin pH through gentle exfoliation.
The sponge is very easy to use. Simply remove from packaging (sponge will be rough and dense, similar to floral foam) and run under warm water for a few minutes or submerge in a sink full of water. The sponge should feel completely soft and pliable. Once in this state, you the damp sponge to cleanse your face. You can even add your favorite cleanser for a deeper clean. Rinse sponge and hang to dry using the attached string. The sponge should be replaced every 4-6 weeks.
The Japanese Konjac Sponge was very easy for us to use, gentle on our skin (even for people with sensitive skin) and at only $11.00, a great gift for yourself or a friend!
