Konjac Sponges have been popping up everywhere in recent
months. I was excited to see what all of the hype was about, so I agreed to
review this Wild Mint puff from the Japanese Konjac Sponge.
The Japanese Konjac Sponge is made out of Konjac plant root
which is grown in Japan. When the sponge first arrived it was very hard. Luckily, I
read the directions before scratching up my face. You place the sponge in warm
water for 15 minutes. It is supposed to expand to one and half the size of the
dry sponge. When the sponge is fully soaked, it is
ready to use. You take the wet sponge
and gently massage your face in a circular motion.

The Konjac sponge becomes very soft and silky. You can use
the sponge with or without a facial cleanser daily. Honestly, I love the way
the sponge feels on my skin by itself. I did use it with my facial cleanser
once. I didn’t think that the cleanser added anything to the experience. I love
how quick and easy I can clean my face with this sponge. Did I mention that the
Konjac sponge makes my skin feel baby smooth?

The Wild Mint Konjac sponge is for normal skin types. They
have different sponges for specific skin types. The sponge I received is infused
with Wild Mint extract that contains disinfectant properties to keep skin
clean, fresh, healthy and radiant.
The Wild Mint Konjac sponge:
*removes blackheads, dirt and oil.
*gently exfoliates skin
*Thoroughly cleanses pores
*Hydrates and balances skin PH
*Eliminates excess sebum
*Is 100% biodegradable
*Is fragrance and preservative free
*Contains no harmful chemicals
After use, you are supposed to gently squeeze the sponge
between both your hands to drain. Then, hang the sponge in a ventilated room to
dry. Unfortunately, my string fell off of my Konjac Sponge after only three
uses. It was not to where I could put the string back on, so I have to rest
mine on the counter (which you are not supposed to do). The Konjac sponges are
supposed to be replaced every 4 to 6 weeks. I am guessing I will have to
replace mine sooner without a way to properly dry it.
Overall, I liked the Konjac sponge. I do feel that there is
some room for improvement. I wish that they had a solid metal ring in the
sponge for the string hole so that you could re-thread it if the string falls
out. I also wish that the sponges were a little cheaper. If you use one a month, it adds up to quite an expense at $11.65 each.
Have you tried a Japanese Konjac Sponge yet? Let me know
what you think!

I have never heard of a Konjac sponge. I'll need to check this out!
Never knew these existed. But I do love silky smooth skin.
It does look really neat. I'd like to try it.
I love that this Hydrates and balances skin PH, Eliminates excess sebum, and is 100% biodegradable. Awesome for pampering.
This is the first I've heard about Konjac sponges. Being infused with Mint extract sounds really interesting and I think I'd like to try this for myself. I hate having a wet washcloth laying on my sink, this would be much smaller and better.
