Are you dreaming of pore-deep clean, radiant skin? Then it’s high time that this trendy beauty tool moved in with you. But what exactly is a konjac sponge and how do you use it correctly? We clarify.
The origin of the Konjac sponge
Like CC creams, sheet masks, and other sophisticated beauty wonders, this new skincare highlight also comes from Asia. However, konjac sponges have been used there for thousands of years. What exactly are the sponges? The konjac sponge is the ground root of the konjac plant, which is also known as devil’s tongue and grows mainly in Japan, China, and Korea.
Your konjac root sponge is therefore a vegan and completely biodegradable natural product that does not contain any chemicals such as colorings or preservatives. It couldn’t be more environmentally friendly. Thanks to its extremely fine-pored, fluffy texture, the gentle sponge is even suitable for treating sensitive skin types – and is generally perfect for body and face care.
How to use the konjac sponge in your beauty routine
Thanks to its fine-pored surface, this face sponge gently and gently removes excess skin and dirt particles. This will clean your pores and reduce blemishes. The tool also has a slight peeling effect that stimulates cell renewal.
The effect of a konjac sponge is therefore remarkable. But how do you use it? Very simple: Beauty professionals use the sustainable, reusable sponge instead of classic cotton pads or cleaning wipes for daily cleaning of their skin.
And this is how you proceed step by step: Before use, immerse the beauty aid in water for a few minutes. So the hard sponge becomes soft and doubles in size. Then carefully squeeze out excess liquid. Now put a dab of cleansing milk or cleansing gel on the sponge and move it over your face in circular movements.
Good to know: The sponge is also suitable for the sensitive eye area and your décolleté. Large konjac sponges are even suitable as a scrub sponge for the whole body.
After each use, rinse the sponge thoroughly with water, squeeze out the liquid and allow to air dry. This way you can use a single sponge for about two to three months.
