Apply your preferred cleanser and then use soft, circular motions to cleanse the skin.
Once you are finished using it, squeeze out all the excess water and leave it to dry preferably at well-ventilated area.
Konjac sponges start biodegrade over time due to their natural material. If you take good care of your sponge, it should last for around six to eight weeks, but it is advisable to replace it after 6 weeks in order to maintain its benefits and keep your skin healthy.
