Essential Skincare: 3 Reasons Why You Should Own A Konjac Sponge

Want to have glowing, radiant skin? Us too! Which is why we had to try out the latest beauty trend for ourselves: Konjac Sponges. So what is a konjac sponge? It’s a sponge that looks like a pumice stone but softens when wet. It’s made from the vegetable root fibers of konjac root, a potato-like plant grown in Korea, China & Japan.
Why Use A Konjac Sponge??
3 Simple Reasons Why:
Gentle Make Up Removal
For starters, it cleanses and exfoliates at the same time. Think washing your make-up off and gently exfoliating dead skin cells all at once. Cutting down a step in your skincare routine is huge when you’re short on time, tired from a long day or just lazy when it comes to washing your face. All you do is wet the sponge, add a drop of your favorite cleansing product, lather, and massage face in circular motions. You can use on its own too-no product required.
Sustainable & Hygienic
The other really great thing about this little magical sponge is that unlike a washcloth, it dries very quickly and can be used repeatedly without harboring bacteria — just hang to dry after each use. The one we tested lasted a little over two months! Goodbye face wipes and hello sustainable skincare.
Reveal Smooth Complexion
The last reason we love our new skincare essential is because it helps reveal a more even, smooth, soft, and radiant complexion. Thanks to its gentle exfoliating qualities, you can use this sponge every day without irritation, and we’ve found our make-up goes on better. It’s a clean slate for your serums, products, and make-up, making it a must-have on our skincare list! Want an insider tip?
