AHLIANREVIEWS: Konjac Sponge 100% natural vegetable fibre

I know it has been a long time since I last wrote anything, let alone review anything. :) I bought a few things from qoo10.sg but thought I want to use them for a while before reviewing to be fair to the products.

One of the reason for me to go for facial is to have the beautician extracts blackheads and whiteheads from my face. Some areas are difficult to reach such as the chin area which I am very prone with blackheads.

I actually do not have much problem with the nose but the chin area is definitely one area my beautician loves to squeeze because she said it gave her a sense of satisfaction when she saw how much she had extracted from my chin! No matter how much I extract on my own, it still comes back after a few weeks.

So I have to make monthly trip to my beautician and if I skip a month... wahhhhh... it just accumulates!!! And so I was very tempted to get the automated pore brush which promises to clean the skin and remove dirt from your pores. I believe my face is not thoroughly washed that is why the dirt, make-up stuff still remain in the pores which clogs it and cause the blackheads build up.

I have to applaud qoo10.sg as it constantly advertises new products and one of the new items I noticed is this Konjac Sponge. And so you ask what is so special about this sponge? Well, I really don't care as long as it works. hahaha... Some extracts from the website:

The Konjac Sponge Round is a facial sponge made from a vegetable called "konjac". This 100% natural vegetable fibre sponge helps to clean, exfoliate and moisturise the skin. It is softer than loofah and natural sea sponges and is 100% biodegradable.

 

Its highly water-attracting properties allow it to absorb more water, up to 20 times its weight, bringing much needed moisture to dry skin. The natural vegetable fibre imparts a weak alkalising effect working like a gentle and natural cleanser.Its natural cleaning ability reduces the need for irritating soap products that may dry the skin. The Konjac Sponge is 100% natural and is hand-made containing no preservatives or artificial chemicals.

But I like the idea that it is 100% natural vegetable fibre... Makes any sense to you???? LOL. As long as it is natural I don't mind to try out.

Here's how it looks:

They actually come in many shapes so you can choose whichever you like. Best thing is, it comes in different colours too! Each colour represents a different purpose or "flavor". My first purchase was Tumeric/yellow and aloe vera. The Tumeric one will help to exfoliate the skin and reduce pigmentation and even out your skin tone. I do have a small patch of pigmentation on my cheek so will see if this really helps. Even if it does not, I won't blame it as it is so cheap...

I must say the first attempt was impressive! I really felt a difference to my chin area. And I have to mention that I did my facial just a few days ago before using this sponge. So the chin area should be just fine. But you can still feel a bit bumpy due to the build up. The sponge is actually soft to the touch and it is not like your typical body sponge which is coarser. This is really just nice for the face and I actually have the tendency to use more pressure. :)

After the first attempt, my chin area really felt smoother! No joke! Why? Because this sponge is only $2.20!!!!! My gosh.... I saw similar sponge in KL Watson 2 weeks ago when I was on business trip and they were selling like RM30-40!!! Speechless and my oh my I have found a true gem in qoo10.sg!!

My verdict: MUST BUY!!!! coz it works for me!!! I am so happy.... I only use it on alternate days and I can really feel the difference. It has been like coming to 3 weeks and my chin area still feel like I had my facial done yesterday! No kidding. You have to use it to believe it. Maybe because my chin area is very bad so I can feel the diff. My hubby also said his face feels smoother but he is lazy to use it everyday... so if you are not diligent, don't blame the product!! I cannot wait for the next trip to my beautician to hear what she has to say about my chin area. hahaha..
