The sensitive sponge from Ecotools is great as a facial exfoliator. Have bought it and would definitely recommend it.

In reply to Michelle. Sounds reasonable and not too difficult! Also, just realized I said I'd let it dry on my skin, which makes no sense ... meant "sink"!

Glad I’m not the only one who wants a string – I’m actually thinking of putting a string through them now!

In reply to Liz.

I actually haven’t tried a washcloth in years – from memory this feels a bit more thorough but I can totally see the hygienic advantage! I do think part of the sponge fad is the “Asian mystique”/novelty angle.

I recently bought the sensitive skin sponge from EcoTools and I really like it. It’s better than just my fingers, though it doesn’t replace a real scrub. It doesn’t dry out if I leave it in the shower, but if it’s set on my skin further away from the steaming water it dries out better. The first thing I thought when I took it out of the box was that I wished they had given it a cord to hang it from, though!

I tried the EcoTools sponge for sensitive skin and found it wasn’t any better than using a wash cloth which I prefer because they can be hung to dry quickly and laundered regularly. Personally not a fan of this konjac sponge trend. Why are people so sponge mad right now?

In reply to Tasha. They're definitely worth a try, if only to see what the hype is about! :P

These have been intriguing me indeed! I'm a bit sceptical about the bacteria side of things too, but I guess if you're changing them as recommended, it isn't a huge deal. I think I'll still definitely try one of these out for myself! Tasha // shiwashiful.
