The Konjac sponge has gradually revolutionized the way we cleanse our face... And if it's been getting lots of attention lately, it's for very good reasons! This incredible, all-natural sponge was historically used in Japanese beauty rituals for its exfoliating and softening properties. We tell you how and why it will soon be revolutionizing your daily skincare routine!
The Konjac sponge is made from the roots of the konjac plant, which is a perennial plant native to Asia. It's been used as a beauty treatment by the Japanese for over a century. Ideal for all skin types, even the most delicate, the Konjac sponge deeply and gently cleanses the skin, removing makeup and impurities, and is much more effective than a regular face cloth. Konjac sponges were originally designed for babies – which speaks volumes about how gentle they are! They exfoliate the skin very gently and bring out its radiance.
Konjac root fibers give this sponge its natural micro-exfoliating properties. It gently scrubs the upper layers of the skin, leaving it deeply cleansed, invigorates and free of impurities.
One of the most amazing things about the Konjac sponge is its versatility. It can be used by all skin types, with or without a cleansing product. Whether you have acne-prone, combination, sensitive or dry, easily irritated atopic skin, this sponge will fit perfectly into your skincare routine!
Choose your sponge according to your skin type
There are two types of Konjac sponge:
- Natural Konjac sponges, which have a white or cream color, and are made from 100% pure Konjac root fiber. These can be used on all skin types.
- Konjac sponges made with an additional, natural ingredient (charcoal, white, green or red clay, aloe vera, etc.). These sponges provide more targeted benefits, to meet the needs of specific skin types.
Learn about the characteristics of different Konjac sponges, and find out which sponge is best for your skin.
Normal skin
The white Konjac sponge is ideal for normal skin, but can of course be used by all skin types. Made simply from Konjac root, it gently cleanses and exfoliates. All you have to do is moisten the sponge with warm water before using it. We chose this sponge for Absolution, so that all skin types can enjoy it!
Dry skin
If your skin tends to feel rough and tight, look for a Konjac sponge with red clay, which has revitalizing and soothing properties. Naturally colored by the clay, this Konjac sponge gently brings out your skin's radiance.
Sensitive skin
Striking the perfect balance between white clay and red clay, pink clay may be added to a Konjac sponge for its softening and soothing properties. These sponges are particularly suitable for sensitive and delicate skin.
Dehydrated skin
If your skin lacks moisture and feels uncomfortable, try using a Konjac sponge with Aloe Vera, which has softening, hydrating and regenerating benefits.
Combination and oily skin
Those with combination or oily skin should look for a Konjac sponge with green clay, which helps to regulate sebum production, and has mattifying and astringent properties. This will help to tighten pores on the face and limit excess sebum.
Blemish-prone skin
A Konjac sponge with bamboo charcoal is ideal for anyone with acne-prone or blemish-prone skin. Bamboo charcoal purifies the skin by absorbing impurities.
Mature skin
Green tea is an excellent active ingredient to neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental aggressors. It can be added to a Konjac sponge to care for mature skin and help prevent the effects of skin aging.
