What is a konjac sponge used for?
A konjac facial sponge is a way to exfoliate the skin to eliminate dead skin cells to expose a more beautiful complexion with results becoming more pronounced the more you use the sponge.
How to use the konjac sponge
Since konjac sponges harden when wet, to use, simply soak the sponge for approximately 10-15 minutes until expanded (if it’s your first time using the sponge). Scrub your face softly in circular movements with the sponge, you can choose to use a cleanser or not. When finished, rinse the sponge until it’s been cleansed and hang to dry overnight.
