Pin ItIs this the best thing to happen to skin since water? The Konjac Sponge Company believes so, and now, so do I.
The Konjac Sponge Company is located in the UK, and they provided the opportunity to test four of their konjac sponges. Each one was selected by Michele, the Company Director (CEO) based on my skincare needs. There are, however, seven different konjac sponges that are available, and I recommend you check out what is best for your skin type. Here is the website: http://www.konjacspongecompany.com
Other ways to connect with The Konjac Sponge Company:
What is a Konjac Sponge? This is a face and body sponge that is from the root of the Amorphophallus konjac plant. This is an edible plant, naturally rich with moisture, and by it’s nature, is alkaline.
This is special because it’s natural alkalinity balances the acidity of your skin and its oils.
Konjac Sponges are:
100% natural Sponge
100% coloring Free
100% additive Free
100% biodegradable
Naturally sustainable
Soft & gentle
pH balanced
Naturally deep cleansing
Environmentally safe
Kind to the environment & skin
Perfect for hypersensitive skin & suitable for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
As I have written before, there are imitations of the Konjac Sponge Company brand. These products may not have been approved, and may contain impurities, microbes and mildew! In addition, the quality is not as soft, and not as long lasting; they may not even be 100% pure Konjac. Even if they happen to be Konjac, there may be “bits” and impurities in their sponges. The Konjac Sponge Company has sponges that are made to the highest standards, and have been rigorously tested to satisfy trading standards; they have passed all sorts of microbe test requirements. Make sure you are purchasing an authentic Konjac Sponge!
When anyone orders more than two sponges from Michele, they will arrive in a lovely mailer:
This is the fourth, and last sponge that I have received, and will review:
Michele explained to me that the colour is totally natural, and it’s how the mineral rich and Iron oxide rich clay actually appears in nature.
Benefits of the French Red Clay Konjac Sponge?
Deep cleansing and very gentle exfoliating!
When used, “it is said to improve blood circulation, makes the skin look radiant, hydrated, and will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and broken capillaries.”
I have broken capillaries, and as promised, I definitely saw that the French Red Clay Konjac Sponge made them less noticeable!
I was using the French Red Clay Sponge every evening and wasn’t sure if that was appropriate.
Michele responded, “It is fine for the sponges all (face and body) to be used as often as wanted. I personally use my face sponge twice a day when I wash, and the body sponges I use every day in the shower. It is so gentle, its almost impossible to use them too much!”
Reminders: Do not wring out your sponge, and do not leave it in the shower/tub. Hang in a cool and well ventilated area to dry. As you can see, it’s very easy to hang to dry, as a string is attached to the sponge!
Tomorrow, I will start a Rafflecopter Giveaway of a French Red Clay Konjac Sponge. As with the other three sponges, it is being generously provided by Michele’s company, The Konjac Sponge Company.

Where to purchase? Stockists
The Konjac Sponge Co. sponge For All Types, is able to deeply cleanse the skin, and yet, the texture of it is extra soft. This makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
This particular sponge is for all skin types and I was able to use it as directed: to massage the skin to encourage cell renewal. However, because it’s gentle, it did not damage my skin surface.
How do you use this?
Rinse before you use and allow the Konjac Sponge to fully absorb the water.
Squeeze out excess water, but do not wring!
You do not have to add any additional cleaner, unless you want. If you use a cleanser, make sure you use a lot less than you usually do, as I found that very little is required.
Gently massage your face in a circular motion.
After you use, rinse well, squeeze out excess water, and allow it to dry. Reminder, do not wring!
Where to store between uses?
Do not leave the sponge in the shower/tub. Hang in a cool and well ventilated area to dry.
It’s very easy to hang to dry, as a string is attached to the sponge!
When to Purchase a New Sponge?
You should change your sponge every one to three months, or when it starts to look, “tired,” as The Konjac Sponge Co. states.
UPDATE: The Giveaway has ended!
The Konjac Sponge Company has generously offered to provide one lucky National or International reader, the opportunity to try this particular sponge (For All Skin Types).
In (approximately) two weeks, another sponge from The Konjac Sponge Co. will be reviewed, and also offered in a Giveaway. Good luck to all!
Disclosure: The Sponge was generously provided for review, and The Konjac Sponge Co. is providing a Sponge to the winner of this Rafflecopter Giveaway!
