MY Konjac-- sounds like Cognac in my head feels like it too.

This was my second encounter with a Konjac sponge even though two months ago I had no clue what the word meant I would have thought you were saying Cognac and would have that you were offering me a bit a brandy not a sponge to wash my face with. The first one I had was the color of manilla envelopes and this one is black and double the size and fit in my hand better for a much better grip. Here is the video of me using it as part of my daily Noxema cleanse. I liked the string attached but it did not come with a hook, but I had a hook from my last one so I used it. The size and tear drop shape was perfect for my hand and washing of my face yet I felt it got too soft and did not get deep down in my pores like I wanted but using this sponge for a sensitive face like if you had eczema or other sensitivities this would be perfect. I sometimes would not get it completely wet in order to have it be a little harder like a loofah. MY Konjac left my face soft and clean, I just did not feel like my pores got the deep clean I wanted. I still gave it #hippiehappy because of the amazing size, shape and long lasting sponge compared to the other Konjac by another brand I had tried.

I received this product in return for my honest #hippiehappy or #nothippiehappy review.

Its all about the base--- being clean

I did not think would use this but one time because the first time you get it wet it feels a little slimey. Please push past that. I have used expensive Aveda wash cloths, regular wash rags, loofahs and this shocked me. I used my normal cleanser on my face, used the Konjac facial sponge in circular motions to cleanse and rinsed the sponge out a few times to get out my cleanser out of the sponge. One last swipe across my face, rinse and dry and I had the deepest clean I have ever felt. All dry and dead skin cells are gone and I am left with a clean palate in which to use my vitamin c serum, moisturizers and eye creams. Each cleaning since then has not had the initial slimy feel on the outside of the sponge. I think this will be in everyone's Christmas stockings this year, all the ladies and the men in the know. Winks. Wow, I didn't digress in this one. #hippiehappy
