This is the all purpose original Pure KUU Konjac sponge. In Japan the Konjac (Konnyoku) sponge has been used on their delicate skins for over a century, and now itās finally hit Australia!! The beauty of the sponge is its simplicity. It is naturally alkaline to balance the acidity of the skins impurities and oils. The Pure KUU Konjac sponge is made from 100% natural konjac vegetable plant root and is suitable for those with sensitive or dry skin types. As you gently massage your skin the sponge will stimulate blood flow and exfoliate the dead skin cells leaving your skin clean and refreshed. The KUU Konjac sponge can be used on its own or with your favourite cleanser. But remember just a tiny amount goes a long way as the sponge delivers more lather than usual. Better for your skin, better for the environment and your pocket! Before use, rinse and hydrate your konjac sponge in warm water. Squeeze out any excess water, and gently cleanse skin.
