Final Thoughts

I came cross these cute little puffs while browsing on Spirit Beauty Lounge one day + was totally intrigued. If you know me, you know I tend to love any beauty products that involve clay, since it’s really good for detoxing your skin! A must in my beauty regimen. Out of sheer laziness, I usually use only facial cleanser + my hands to wash my face to remove my makeup… but that doesn’t always work out for me. Throughout the years, I’ve purchased tons of  super-expensive beauty cleansing tools that I really, really wanted + swore I’d use religiously… only to be stashed away + used for special occasion facials (ahem, Clarisonic Mia). The Konjac Sponge is different for me though… these are something I regularly keep by my bathroom sink + use it almost everyday! A miracle, I tell you. One thing the company mentions is that you don’t have to use any cleansers with it… I’ve found in the morning, I just wet the sponge + use it with nothing on it. At night, I need to add a cleanser to remove my makeup though. No biggie… I expected I would because I wear a lot of makeup. While they really do only exfoliate lightly, they somehow – really get the job done + are perfect for everyday use! They also have larger ones for your body + a flat round one, a little larger than a cosmetic compact sponge that you can apply makeup with, but I haven’t tried them yet. I have no idea how these work they way they do, but I love how incredibly soft, smooth + clean my skin feels after using them. Thanks Konjac Sponge Co.
