The Konjac Sponge Co. make 100% natural vegetable sponges for face and body. They are colour free and biodegradable and claim to be kind to your skin and the environment. The sponges are made with konjac fibre from the root of the Amorphophallus plant. This plant is naturally moisture rich and alkaline which balances the acidity of the skin.
To use this sponge you allow sponge to fully absorb water and then gently massage over the skin. The sponge needs to be rinsed after use but not wrung dry, just squeeze the water. The string on the sponge is used to hang it up to dry in a ventilated place. When dry the sponge is hard.
I have been using this sponge for a few weeks now and put off writing this review because I hadn't fully decided how this was going to fit into my skincare routine.
This sponge can be used with our without cleanser and can be used on its own to remove makeup. I wear a fair amount of makeup and found this wasn't doing a great job of removing it. I didn't want to use a cleanser on this sponge because I didn't want to taint the natural fibres with product.
It took me a few days to work out where this product would fit into my routine, but now that I have, I am really happy with it. The netted texture of the sponge makes it a great exfoliator but not harsh like many scrubs. I have been using this every morning after cleansing and it leaves my skin beautifully smooth and soft. When I apply my makeup I find that my face is a really even base and my foundation smoothes on really well.
