Review #26: Natural Konjac Cleansing Sponge
Hey guys!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I wish I'm not too late to wish you guys out there a blessed new year! It's just the 2nd day of 2014 thou. Feeling nothing special honestly, but this post is one good recommendation from me! It will also be my first post of 2014 lol. I'm thinking to make another post of my highlights from the past year (maybe another time for that). For now, the main purpose is to review beauty products right? That's the purpose of this blog! :D
WHAT it is about?

Did you know what is Konjac sponge? I don't at first, now I know. After I google-ed them haha.
It is shaped like pillow-soft sponge that cleanses and exfoliates to deliver smoother, softer, brighter-looking skin. Konjac actually comes from a potato-like plant in Asia that is both cultivated and grows wild at high altitudes. The Japanese have used Konjac for over 1500 years as a food source and over the last century have been using the Konjac potato as a beauty treatment. The Konjac sponge has been handmade from the vegetable fibre of this plant along with French clays and some contain pure charcoal from bamboo. Now, the Konjac sponge is extremely gentle and 100% biodegradable. Meaning to say you can compost it when it's time for a new one, around 2-3 months life period. It is gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types, this naturally deep-cleansing, PH balanced sponge can be used throughout the face, neck, and even the very delicate under eye area.
This is one great product at affordable price that I strongly recommended to you guys out there! I love it after one use! Let's read on to know how magical this little sponge did to me ^^
WHICH country it comes from?
Designed in Japan

Full stars for this awesome product! Don't feel like wanted to try this coz it does not looks promising from the outlook but oh my to my surprise, it is awesome! My face felt super baby soft skin after using it, without the cleanser! I prefer using them without cleanser and my face felt super clean and pure, I wonder why! It is amazing! The sponge is amazing soft to my skin and exfoliates it really well. Japanese people really amazed me in creating this kind of product. Cheap and guaranteed results. Omg.
