For effective facial skin care, cleansing is a fundamental step. There is no point in applying toner, serum and cream, with active treatment ingredients, if your complexion is dirty and the pores are clogged. For this reason, dermatologists and skincare experts insist that double cleansing is the best ally to show off a radiant complexion.
Double cleansing consists of first cleaning your face with an oil-based or butter-textured cosmetic, which helps to deeply remove makeup and other traces of dirt from the skin. The next step would be to carry out a second cleaning with a water-based product, in a gel texture, that reinforces the first cleaning.
But, in addition to this, we can incorporate into our routine the use of gadgets with which to clean the skin deeply. We are not just talking about manual brushes, sponges, cotton pads or electronic brushes, but in natural cosmetics the use of konjac sponges for skin care stands out.
Konjac is a plant native to Southeast Asia that has been used for more than 1,500 years in skin care, medicine and cooking in Korea, China and Japan. It is a tuber whose root is extracted, goes through a process of mixing it with water and solidifies, giving it the shape of a sponge. This is hard when dry, but quickly absorbs moisture when you wet it, leaving it soft and very soft.
Thus, the konjac sponge is a natural product that is used to cleanse the skin, helping to remove dirt, makeup, excess sebum and other impurities. Thanks to its soft texture, it performs a delicate massage on the face, stimulating circulation and providing a very gentle exfoliation. Therefore, it is ideal for acne-prone skin and is also perfect for the most sensitive skin, since it is not irritating.
You just have to moisten it with water, add a little of your facial cleansing soap and massage your face with the sponge in circular movements, without the need to rub. Afterwards, you have to rinse the sponge well so that there are no soap residues and let it dry.
