I never thought I would be washing my face with a sponge, but I guess I can say the same about a lot of things in the green beauty world. Coming into the world of natural products means opening yourself to a whole new variety of routines.
So what's a konjac sponge? Konjac sponges are made from the konjac root. They are gently exfoliating, moisturizing, and work well with sensitive skin. They are biodegradable, sustainable, and vegan! What a trio! These konjac sponges are compostable, as is their packaging which is 90% compostable. They say you can put your sponge right in your flower pot when you're done with it, how cool!

I was fortunate to get to test out the *Original and Turmeric body sponge. I have tried many different konjac sponges, and the original one has to be my favorite to use on the face thus far! It works well by gently exfoliating without over drying the face. You can definitely notice a difference in texture when using and not using the sponge. The sponge leaves your face feeling refreshed and fully cleansed. My face is also more bright after washing with it. This particular sponge lasted me about 3 months. One thing to note is that you shouldn't wring out the sponge, as this decreases its lifespan. I also LOVE that these come with suction hooks and a string, it is super helpful. A lot of companies don't provide that type of convenience, and then you have to find a place to rest it while its drying without it getting moldy. A+ to pureSOL!

Original & Turmeric sponges when wet
As for the Turmeric sponge, I enjoyed using this on my body. I felt like it was too large for my face and that I couldn't get a true wash with it. Although, I did love using this on my body. After coming out of the shower my skin appeared less red. Also since it is gently exfoliating, I can tell it helped to keep my skin smooth and helped prevent little bumps from appearing. I am also in love with the fact that it contains turmeric within the sponge. Turmeric can be great for helping skin ailments such as eczema.

Overall, I had a pleasant experience using these sponges! Now I need to pick up the charcoal one, and maybe even get another original! I don't want to be without them. Go check out their website: http://puresol.co/
