My Konjac Sponge!

Uhh. Pardon my laziness. Hahaha. Rarely got free time when work is always overload. That’s a common problem if you’re an office worker. *sigh* eiiiii anyway I’m not here to whine! I’m going to share something FABULOUS!

MY KONJAC SPONGE!

What is Konjac Sponge? Here’s what they say:

Made with natural “Konjac” fibre (a pure vegetable fibre) from the root of the Amorphophallus “Konjac” plant. “Konjac” sponges are the softest and most gentle yet effective skin cleansing product on the market. Research has even proven in Japan, that “Konjac” sponges can deeply cleanse without damaging the skin better than any normal wash cloth (or even a sea sponge) that has been designed for washing. Our sponges are made from nothing other than pure natural products.
“Konjac” sponges are made to the very highest standards, using the purest volcanic rock filtered water and food grade “Konjac”. We are the most trusted and qualified manufacturer of the products, which is hygienic and clean, located in the cleanest purest pollutant free area of Korea; Jeju Island!
Jeju Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This means that due to its amazing volcanic rock structure and its outstanding beauty it has world recognition and protection. It is reputed to have some of the cleanest and purest water in the world. So pure that the water is bottled and sold to drink. All products are made by hand in a sterile environment and tested to the highest standards and have passed all UK and EU required tests for hygiene and purity. We ensure that all tests have been carried out and only the best, safest and purest products are made.

Sounds pretty promising right? And guess what? They DID NOT lie. The benefits I got from this Konjac Sponge surpass the a-bit-pricey-for-a-sponge price. I actually thought this sponge is quite pricey, because I never bought a sponge with this kind of price. Haha. But then I decided to give it a try, and for another reason: so they could send my Queen Skin Gel Mask which I got from the quiz at twitter (haha sorry for troubling you guys, lame me :p ), then I picked Water Drop Volcanic Stone Facial Sponge, the one and only PINK sponge they have. Hahaha!

The one and only pink sponge inside pink package! haha!

Water Drop Volcanic Stone Facial Sponge is:

• 100% Natural Sponge
• 100% Coloring & Addictive Free
• 100% Biodegradable
• Naturally Sustainable
• Eliminating Waste Matter of Face
• Massaging & Moisturizing

The sponge got ALL you want from a peeling mask or gel mask to have. Exfoliating, massaging, and even MOISTURIZING. Ever heard a moisturizing sponge? Never? So this is the first one, right? The common sponges that we know are the sponge that could be used to wash dishes, or the ones we used for our body. But none of them has the moisturizing effect, so I suggest you try this one 😀

My sponge arrived at May 3rd this year, so it’s been 17 days for me using the sponge. I still remember how happy I was when the package filled with this sponge and Queen Skin Gel Mask arrived! SUPER HAPPY!

Pretty pink packaging!

even prettier in flash! the inside got steamy steamy fog from the sponge!

THE SPONGE IS SOOOOOO SQUISHY I COULD  SQUISH IT VERY GOOOOD! hahaha but I remember what the web said, DO NOT WRING. So I stopped thinking about squishing the jelly-like sponge and use it instead.

palm-sized sponge, ergonomically easy to grip without squeezing the sponge!

Yes, it’s easy to hold, not afraid of slipping off from my hand, the texture’s like a konnyaku jelly with pores so it could absorb water well and keeping the sponge well-hydrated while not in use.If you’re forgot to hydrate the sponge and it went dry & rough, stone-like, just soak it in water and it will came into its original shape 🙂

I’ve been using it for 17 days, and my face is….

wait for it……

wait for it….

ACNE FREE!!!!!!

DEAD SKIN FREE!!!!!!!

I’m serious. There are no huge zits appear since I use the sponge. Even there’s zit pops, it will only last a couple days then it’s gone. The sponge also exfoliates well, because the dead skin cells on my earlier zit is peeling little by little and now it’s only about time for it to heal properly. I stopped using my sleeping pack since the second week usage, and the sponge gave the same result as my sleeping pack. So my sleeping pack is now abandoned in my room (anyone interested in adopting my sleeping pack as the sample? keke).

I still can’t believe what this sponge did to my face. Now I’m reducing the peeling-gel using frequent. The peeling job is already done by this sponge, WITHOUT making my facial skin dry. SUPER LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

My bath time usually took about 15 minutes, but since the sponge arrived, I spend five minutes MORE than usual. And in the morning also. Damn. Makes me have to wake up earlier for more bath time. Hahaha.

Oh, by the way, whoever said this sponge is addictive-free, THEY LIED. Hahaha! Just kidding. But it really IS addicting. I can’t stop rubbing the sponge against my skin, because no matter how long you rub it, it won’t make your skin dry, or flaking. I am a Konjac addict now.

I even took the sponge when I’m on vacation, inside my sandwich lunch box! 😐

Likes:

They got 5 kinds of sponges, one of them is a body sponge, all in same textures and softness but different functions from different extracts for each sponge. You could see the products and details at My Konjac Sponge official website or follow their Twitter and like their Facebook page 😀

For those who interested and live in Jakarta, just come to The Children’s Store at Senayan City, Pacific Place, or FX Mall. For those who want this sponge and live in BANDUNG, you may contact me for purchasing, I’m the temporary-reseller for Konjac Sponge in Bandung. Teehee~ 😀
