The world of skincare is always changing, which is why you see new and exciting products all the time. The konjac sponge is trending in a big way right now, but there are some things to consider before giving one a try. Users report that they get more radiant and beautiful skin when they use a konjac sponge. Want to give it a try? Here’s what you need to know before you run out and buy one.
Before using any kind of skin product on your face, it’s a good idea to know what it’s made of first. You read the ingredients label on lotions and creams, right? A konjac sponge is made from a root vegetable that is ultra porous. It’s feels squishy and has components that make it perfect for giving your face the best kind of clean.
You’ve probably heard that you need to exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and product build up. However, many ladies worry about how harsh exfoliators are on their skin. Worry no more! A konjac sponge may just be the answer you’ve been looking for. They are super gentle and can be used every single day, even in sensitive skin.
When you use a konjac sponge with soap and warm water, it helps remove your makeup. Even the mascara that you have trouble washing off with your makeup remover will come right off! Simply rub the sponge over your face and you’ll see all traces of eyeshadow, liner and blush going down the drain. Perfect!
Because konjac is so good at exfoliating your skin, it’s perfect for getting that radiance we all crave. The trick is to use your konjac on a regular basis. It won’t do you any good if you only use it once in a while. Make it part of your daily routine and it won’t be long before you start seeing the skin you were meant to have.
While you certainly can use a konjac sponge with soap and water, you can also use it on its own and still get a radiant cleanness on your face. Experts on the topic say that konjac has deep cleaning properties so you can count on it to give you a squeaky clean face each and every time you use it.
Unlike some items, konjac sponges won’t be effective forever. They often claim to be antibacterial, but skincare experts caution against using them for prolonged periods of time. They are hard to clean and over time can begin to harbor nasty bacteria and germs. Trade yours for a new one every month or so.
For all the things that a konjac sponge can do, there is one thing that it cannot. Experts say that konjac won’t heal acne so you may have to combine it with other methods of treating your pimples. Try using your konjac sponge to apply your anti-acne cleanser and you can reap the benefits of both items at the same time.
