My Konjac Sponges are here!

It's always so nice to get something in the mail. Even better when it's a wonderfully unexpected surprise! When I came home from Calatagan last weekend, I found these waiting for me at home.

My friend has been raving about them and I couldn't wait to try them myself. I got one sponge for the body and another one for the face.

6 Wave Body Sponge Product Description:

100% natural fibre
100% Biodegradable
Soft & Gentle
Ph balanced
Naturally deep Cleansing
Kind to mother earth

Sponge for all skin types & safe for babies and children. It is designed to gently exfoliate, soothe, and cleanse all over.

Exfoliate is vital to maintaining clear, healthy skin but is often a step we forget at shower or bath time.

Best for scrubbing … A great scrub not only will slough away dead skin cells but also stimulates skin so that more blood flows to that area, leaving your legs polished and primed for increased moisturizer absorption, and giving a healthy glow. Also helping reduce blemishes.


Better for your skin, better on the environment and better for babies too!

We are all natural so spoil yourself without feeling of guilt.

Volcano Stone Facial Sponge Product Description:

Other than these two, you can also choose to get any of the following:

Bamboo Charcoal Facial Sponge - contains activated carbon and minerals that enhance absorptive ability, perfect for removing excess oil.

Moon Korean Ochre Facial Sponge - made of 100% pure vegetable fiber. For all skin types, even for sensitive skin.

Moon Original Facial Sponge - Safe for babies and children.

I just went through the FAQs on the Konjac website and I realized I've been doing something wrong : hanging them inside the shower stall. Yikes! They should be hung in an airy place to dry, not inside the shower stall where it's damp. My bad!

The site also says the sponges can last anywhere from 1-3 months, depending on how you use them. Not bad for the price of less than P400 each. Bang for your buck! The best part for me though is the fact that it's 100% natural, eco-friendly and made from pure plant roots.

I've only been using them for 2 days, but each time I do, my skin feels softer than usual - promise! My facial skin has grainy (for lack of a better term) portions and these have slightly diminished in the past couple of days. The body sponge has the same effect. They really work.

Head on over to Updated Trends in Multiply to order yours. They're absolutely worth trying.
I can't wait to see the results weeks from now.

Anti-aging drama

One of the things I am blessed to have is problem-free skin. I've never been to the derma nor had a facial because as they say, don't fix it if it ain't broken! Besides, I can't imagine being asked to follow a tedious skincare regimen. It's always been just soap (Cetaphil) and water for me. Whenever I wear make-up, I take it off with Pond's Cold Cream, a sort of tradition that's been handed down in my family from one generation to the next. My Mom still uses it to this day.

Recently though, I noticed while looking at some close-up photos, that I have crow's feet! I've never been conscious about my skin but when I saw them, I felt a lump in my throat and came to a rather painful realization --- my face has begun to show signs of aging and I can no longer deny it. I had to convince myself to do something about it but had to think for a while because I've always been too lazy about skincare. Unfortunately for me, I'm at a stage in my life (I'm turning 40 next year) where proper skincare is a must.

So when I recently got together with some friends and we had our yearly Kris Kringle, this is what I asked for:

I've been using it for 2 days now (see...I got it last week pa but it sat on my dresser for days before I even opened the package hehe!) and hopefully, this'll be the answer --- the ONLY answer. I hate to think of having to put anything else on my face. A lot of people swear by this product (and I don't mean the girls who endorse it in the tv commercials) and it looks like it's going to work for me as well. So far, no breakouts or rashes. Then again, problem-free skin nga. =)
