The morning face-wash can be a quick necessity, but it can also be a ritual - a slow, gentle moment that prepares the skin and the mood for the day. This drop-shaped konjac sponge is a tool for such a ritual: made from natural plant fibre, with bamboo charcoal added, it cleanses the skin gently yet effectively. Particularly suited to Oily, acne-prone, large-pored skin.
The experience
The konjac sponge is hard and brittle when dry, but soaked in warm water for a few minutes it turns into a soft, springy, creamy-textured sponge. It glides gently over the skin - never scratching, never irritating - while still lifting away dead skin cells and surface impurities. The sensation is more like a gentle caress than scrubbing.
Konjac and bamboo charcoal
Konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) is an East Asian tuberous plant whose root fibres are used to make the sponges. The sponge's pH is mildly alkaline, so it does not disrupt the skin's natural acidic balance. Bamboo charcoal is one of the best natural adsorbents: it binds surface impurities, excess sebum and bacteria and washes them away from the skin. Its natural antibacterial character is especially useful for acne-prone, oily and large-pored skin types. The black-grey tone of the sponge also comes from this added ingredient.
How to use it
Soak the sponge in warm water for a few minutes until fully softened. Then apply gentle, circular movements on the face or body - it works with or without soap. After use, rinse with clean water, squeeze it out, and hang it in a well-ventilated place to dry, away from direct sunlight. Replace it every 1-3 months with regular use.
