There are a lot of facial cleansing tools on the market to choose from. Facial cleansing brush, silicone cleansing tools and even exfoliation sponges. What’s the one thing all of them have in common? They all offer your face a deep cleanse. If you wear a lot of makeup or live in a polluted city (who doesn’t), using a cleansing tool in conjunction with your cleanser at night will result in soft, supple skin inside and out. A face cleansing tool ensures that the cleanser gets deep into your skin unclogging pores removing any dirt and grime trapped in them. It takes care of problems like acne, whiteheads, blackheads, dry skin and dull skin among others.
One of the best tools to help you in your journey to clean skin is a Konjac sponge. Sounds weird I know. A Konjac sponge is made from the root of the Konjac plant which is native to Southeast Asia. It one of the most vitamin-rich plants you can find on earth! It contains iron, phosphorous, copper, zinc and every other vitamin you could think of. So along with cleansing your skin, it delivers the goodness of each of these nutrients.
A konjac sponge looks and feels a lot like a pumice stone when its dry. Don’t be alarmed by its rough appearance. When wet, it transforms into an ultra-soft porous sponge that is meant to be massaged over your skin along with your cleanser. Along with cleansing, it will help gently exfoliate your skin. It is safe and gentle enough that you can use it morning and night. One sponge will last you about 3 months when used daily. Just ensure you hang it up in a well-ventilated area so it dries up before you can use it again. If you feel a little gross using the same sponge, you can boil it in water once a week to ensure there isn’t any bacteria build up!
