Adopt the konjac sponge

What is a konjac sponge?

The konjac sponge has been used for hundreds of years in Japan. It's recently become more popular in the West, even becoming a fashion phenomenon. The konjac sponge is completely natural because it's plant-based. It's made from the root of the plant, which is transformed into flour. Then, sometimes, it's mixed with other natural materials like clay or charcoal. Note that konjac is also used in cooking, particularly in Asia. In Europe, it's very popular in low-calorie diets (count 10 calories maximum per 100g of konjac!).

How to use a konjac sponge?

The konjac sponge is made of a porous and hard material. To soften it, simply wet it for a few minutes so that it soaks up water before applying it to your face to remove makeup. Make circular movements, using or without a makeup remover. Once your face is clean, don't hesitate to rinse it with warm water to remove all impurities for future use. Then let it dry for its next use. Note that you should change your sponge every two to three months.

What are the benefits of the konjac sponge?

First of all, it is biodegradable, so you will limit the production of non-ecological materials found in makeup remover wipes or makeup remover pads. It allows you to remove makeup and exfoliate gently at the same time. The konjac sponge adapts to different skin types, whether you have oily, dry or blemished skin , the konjac sponge is made for you.
