Baby Jeralyn enjoying taking bath with Konjac Sponge. Thank you Joshua Artono and Jessica Ong for the picture 🙂
Weather was warm and sunny over the weekend, and it was business as usual for most establishments here in Laguna, including courier and delivery services. Even our mailbox had been bustling since last Friday, with a steady flow of deliveries – utility bills, credit card bills (spare me, please), PhilPost claim stubs, and best of all, products from my favorite brands and generous sponsors.
I received quite a few items over the weekend, but this package from Updated Trends really got me stoked.
If you can remember, Updated Trends is the Philippines’ exclusive distributor of Sleek Makeup. The latest addition to the store’s product line is this brand – My Konjac Sponge.
Konjac, the plant from which these sponges are made, thrives in tropical and warm subtropical countries such as India, China, Japan, and Korea. Konjac is well-known in these countries as a food ingredient, as well as its various health-giving properties.
In Japanese cuisine, Konjac (also known as konnyaku) can usually be found in dishes like oden and sukiyaki. While in China, Konjac is usually consumed in jelly or tofu-form. In Korea, it has become quite popular as an exfoliant and a face massage accessory, as in the case of My Konjac Sponge.
With five variants to choose from, my Konjac Sponge can be used even on the most sensitive skin. Babies included!
The Moon Korean Ocher (in orange) is tailor-made for ultra-sensitive skin as it contains nothing but natural plant fiber. No chemicals, no coloring, no additives.
The Water Drop Bamboo Charcoal (in gray) is best for oily and troubled skin. Enriched by charcoal extracted from homegrown bamboos in Korea, this sponge is effective in eliminating blackheads and unclogging pores
Originally designed for babies, the Moon Original sponge is also suitable for adults, particularly those with normal skin. It is super soft, pH balanced, and free from additives.
These sponges are manufactured in one of my favorite tourist destinations – Jeju Island, Korea. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jeju Island is home to the majestic Jeju Volcano, and to one of the cleanest and purest water in the world.
And just as My Konjac Sponge is gentle on skin, it’s gentle to the environment, too. These sponges come from naturally sustainable and biodegradable ingredients, and are made by hand in a sterile and safe environment. They are also tested to the highest standards and have UK and EU certification for hygiene and purity.
I’ll be posting more about each of these sponges in the days to come. Bath time is sure gonna be fun with these new buddies!
In the meantime, you can check out My Konjac Sponge’s official website or place orders via Updated Trends on Multiply or Facebook.
Many thanks to Ms. Smile for these babies, and to My Konjac Sponge, who never fails to greet me on Twitter. 🙂

Pertama kali tau produk ini sebenarnya dr salah satu anggota di Beauty Blogger Indonesia. Awalnya sih cuek karena aku pikir ini seperti sponge2 biasa gitu hehehe… tp lama kelamaan kok aku jadi penasaran yah… setelah googling sana sini akhirnya makin penasaran lg, dan alhasil beberapa hari yg lalu aku order sponge ini via online ^,*
Jadi… Konjac Sponge adalah sponge yg berfungsi membersihkan wajah dan tubuh yg terbuat dari 100% serat alami konjac. Sedangkan Konjac itu sendiri adalah sejenis umbi-umbian yg tumbuh di daerah Korea, Jepang dan China.
Sponge ini memiliki beberapa macam jenis :
● Water Drop Volcanic Stone Facial Sponge ( punyaku )
● Moon Korean Ocher Facial Sponge
● Moon Original Facial Sponge
● Water Drop Bamboo Charcoal Facial Sponge
● 6 Wave Body Sponge
Sebelum aku membeli sponge ini, awalnya aku pikir sponge ini mempunyai tekstur yg kasar dan bisa mengakibatkan iritasi kulit wajah. Ternyata dugaanku salah, sponge ini sama sekali tidak membuat iritasi dan tidak menimbulkan sakit pada kulit wajah.
Kenapa aku pilih yg Water Drop Volcanic Stone ?? Menurut aku jenis ini cocok banget untuk kulit mukaku yg kombinasi ( berminyak & kering ) dan sedikit berkomedo.Water Drop Volcanic Stone ini bentuknya pipih, warnanya pink kecoklatan dan memiliki pori2 mirip banget sama makanan khas Medan si Bika Ambon ;D
Pada saat kemasaannya aku buka, sponge ini memiliki tekstur yg kenyal dan dilengkapi tali putih yg memudahkan kita untuk menggantungnya. Namun setelah pemakaian 1x dan seterusnya, sponge ini akan berubah menjadi keras jika dalam keadaan kering. Jadi pastikan untuk merendam atau membasahkannya terlebih sebelum digunakan.
Adapun cara pemakaian & perawatannya :
Sponge ini dapat digunakan sekitar 3 bulan lebih, tetapi tergantung dari perawatan masing-masing yah. Selain itu jika kita ingin mensterilkannya cukup masukkan sponge ini ke dalam microwave selama 1,5 menit. Mudah bukan ??
Aku menggunakan sponge ini sehari 2x dan biasanya aku pakai setelah menggunakan sabun pencuci muka. Dan efek yg aku dapatkan kulit muka menjadi kesat, terasa kencang dan bebas dari minyak.
