Softest Cleasning, Gentlest Exfoliation
I'm very happy that I saw this 3 pack of konjac facial sponges before I hastily clicked on a lesser deal!! This pack includes a regular konjac sponge (white), a green tea (green, fairly obviously), and black (charcoal). Green Tea has anti oxidant, anti inflammitory, and anti rednes benefits for the skin. Charcoal is purifying and detoxifying for the skin. Regular is regular  :D  All gently exfoliate the dead skin cells off for smoother, healthier skin that is able to fully absorb all the beneficial ingredients from all the products you pay good money to put on your skin! All of them also help to decongest the pores, rid them of impurities, which will minimize or all together prevent clogged pores which can turn into blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. While there is no medicated ingredient to treat acne in the actual sponges, exfoliating and decongesting the pores regularly is perhaps the very best thing someone can do to prevent acne. As a Licensed Esthetician, I would not recommend using any type of konjac sponges on open acne or severe excema or psoriasis. Acne, excems, and psoriasis should be treated with medicine. But with that disclaimer, I will emphasize that these natural, plant based sponges are the gentlest material available today! The sponges are each shaped like a half globe or sphere. This provides a nice soft, round surface area to clean forhead, cheeks, etc, but then also has an corner edge that goes around the sphere to get into the little folds of the nose and other little places that always needs some extra exfoliation.. The sponges consist of 100% plant material. The all natural plant fiber has a slightly slick, almost rubbery feel to it. It is far softer than a loofa, and softer than even the softest wash cloth. The sponges are hydrophillic, or drawn to water, (&#34;water loving&#34; to be exact) and extremely absorbant! The consistency of the sponges also encourages more lather from any lathering cleanser that you use with it. This can help you to use less product with each use, and thereby save a little money by making your cleanser last longer.<br /><br />I'm a Licensed Esthetician and for as strongly as I believe in, and advocate for, Exfoliation! I am perhaps an even bigger advocate to : BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF!!! Konjac sponges are absolutely brilliant at cleansing, mildly exfoliating, removing make up, and helping to dislodge any clogs from the pores...all while being THE MOST GENTLE WAY TO CLEANSE YOUR FACE, NECK, AND DECOLOTTE...EVER! I also firmly believe that when you ENJOY using a product, yu are far more likely to use the product regularly. And consistency is the magical ingredient to any skin care routine. I was fortunate that I was able to purchase this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiasd review. As wonderful as these konjac sponges are, they do not last forever! They last, with daily use, about a month. Those of us who have sensitive skin (raises hand!! lol) and use a sponge only every other day or a few times a week, will enjoy longer use from each konjac sponge. When you first get them, inorder to &#34;activate&#34; it, you need to soak it in a bowl of water for about 20 minutes. Which is really just hydrating the deeply dehydrated, so dry they are infact crispy, dry sponges. Oh...and here is my last tip. Haha. KEEP AWAY FROM DOGS AND PETS BECAUSE MY DOG FOUND ONE TO BE DELICIOUSSSSS. I am not sure about cats but I wouldn't trust them either, hahaha! Now I only know the wonders of the green-green tea and black-charcoal konjac sponges, BECAUSE my four year old min pin mix dearest pet puppy was ENAMOURED and then OBSESSED with my new sponges. Long story shortened, my beloved dog was devious, plotted, and had the wherewithall to finally get and EAT my white-regular konjac sponge. I'm sure all the fiber helped make him regular, lol. I was not worried at all for his safety when he ate my safe, non toxic, natural, 100% plant fiber regular konjac sponge though. At least there's that. I was, however, bummed that he removed that one right out of MY beauty regimine. I am totally enjoying the other two. They are so gentle, and literally, the more gentle the better for my very sensitive skin.<br /><br />And to end on a serious note: the less pulling and tugging you do on your skin today...is less fine lines and wrinkles you will have later, one day.
