What is a Konjac Sponge?
A Konjac Sponge is a body sponge that is made from natural ingredients. It is made from the root of the Konjac plant.
It is an all-natural sponge for exfoliating and cleansing your face or body.
It has great benefits and offers a gentle exfoliation to help remove dead skin cells and clean your face. It’s great for any skin type or skin texture- oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin.
How Does it Work?
Konjac sponges are very simple to use.
When you first receive your Konjac sponge, it will be hard to the touch. This is because they are freeze-dried, which causes them to feel hard when dry, but after adding warm water, they become soft.
It is a very gentle sponge!
Add your favorite liquid cleanser or face wash, or just use warm water in a circular motion over your face.
Once you are finished using the Konjac sponge, wash it with water until it runs clear. Squeeze out any excess water so it can dry faster.
How Should I Store It?
You should store your Konjac sponge in a well-ventilated area. Most of them will come with a small string attached for you to hang it to dry after use. I recommend hanging it to dry.

How Do I Dispose of a Konjac SPonge?
The Konjac sponge is a biodegradable sponge! Since it is made from the natural Konjac root, it can be thrown in your compost, or put in the trash to biodegrade faster than synthetic materials would.

Why Should I Use a Konjac SPonge?
Konjac sponges are great skincare tools. They are natural and perfect to use with most types of facial cleansers.
They gently exfoliate your skin and help you achieve a natural glow no matter your skin type.
They are reusable and can last up to 2-3 months before they need to be replaced. Konjac sponges are the ultimate exfoliating face sponge!
What Are the Different Types of Konjac Sponges?
The Konjac sponges are all made from the root of a Konjac plant. They can be infused with different ingredients, which help you maintain healthy skin and a glowy complexion. They do not contain synthetic fragrances, the Konjac sponges are odorless.
The different colors indicate that they are infused with an ingredient. The regular Konjac sponges are white.
The green Konjac sponge is usually infused with Green tea or French green clay. The purple sponge is infused with lavender. The gray or black Konjac sponge is infused with bamboo charcoal or black charcoal. The orange or yellow sponge is infused with turmeric. The red sponge is infused with red clay.

These sound really cool! I love that it’s a gentle sponge when wet (as some can be super rough) and that it can be composted afterwards!
