Glucomannan is a dietary fiber contained in the bulb of the konjac plant. Konjac bulbs cultivated in Japan contain glucomannan that solidifies into jelly and made into the edible konjac, or konnyaku, that is popular in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince konjac is made mostly of water, it is low in calories, containing only about 7kcal per 100g. Furthermore, since glucomannan expands when mixed with water, it promotes a feeling of fullness. Being high in dietary fiber and low in calories, it is a popular ingredient for people who wish to achieve weight loss or detoxify their body or want to achieve beautiful skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are konjac sponges?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo, what is all the hype about these sponges made of konjac? First, let’s go over the history of these unique sponges. Konjac sponges were invented by Japanese farmers and were originally used to bathe infants. Since then, usage of konjac sponges continually increased due to how gentle, comfortable and effective they were.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the benefits of using konjac sponges for face wash?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Konjac sponges are sustainable and eco-friendly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eKonjac sponges are all-natural, 100% plant-based Japanese beauty products to help achieve beautiful skin through the power of plants. Apart from being 100% plant-based, they can be used multiple times for up to a month, which makes them sustainable products. Also, unlike other types of exfoliators or soaps that require jars, plastic bottles or tubes, konjac sponges require minimal packaging, meaning they are environmentally conscious as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKonjac sponges gently remove impurities from deep within your pores for smooth, soft and glowing skin.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKonjac sponges can be used for sensitive skin types, including babies and those with atopy.

This “water film” is what prevents scratches and abrasions on your skin, acting as a barrier between the fibers of the sponge and your skin. This is due to the water retention ability of the konjac plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.

You can apply your konjac sponge to even your most breakout-prone areas and still expect to get a seriously good cleanse, thanks to their soft, porous texture.
