Looking to detox? Forget the juice diet – try some activated charcoal!
Dubai, August 2015: I know, ANOTHER thing you have to add to your beauty routine!? But before you shush me, listen up. The Konjac Sponge Co. Charcoal sponge is no joke, and worth adding to your skincare stash. Made from the root of the konjac plant, this sponge is used to help you dislodge, dirt, oil, and blackheads—basically, a natural, older version of our BFF, the Clarisonic. But they’ve been around for 1,500 YEARS. No, not a typo. 1,500 years.
And while Konjac sponges may look like any other poof you’d find at the drugstore, the Charcoal Konjac Sponge Co. certainly is not your run-of-the-mill sponge. This little gem is packed with mineral rich activated carbon which deep cleans skin pores to eliminate blackheads and dirt whilst absorbing excess oils and toxins. A natural antioxidant, it kills stubborn acne-causing bacteria and is an effective natural treatment for acne sufferers. The perfect detox program for your face!
When dry, the sponge is rock hard; moisten it, and it gets all squishy and pillowy soft. While other sponges just lift dirt and debris, the root that the konjac sponge is made from is able to naturally deep clean skin by absorbing the gunk. This means that you can skip the squeeze of face wash altogether if you want. Holler! But like any other facial sponge, this should be replaced after no more than three months.
