FAQs
Can I use this with any facial cleanser?
Yes, it works well with most water-based gel or cream cleansers.
How often should I replace the sponge?
It is recommended to replace the sponge every 4 to 6 weeks depending on the frequency of use and how well it is dried.
Is it safe for daily use?
Yes, because the material is so gentle, it is perfectly safe for daily facial cleansing.
Will this help with acne?
While not a medical treatment, the bamboo charcoal helps draw out impurities and the gentle exfoliation helps keep pores clear, which can assist in managing mild breakouts.
Is the packaging eco-friendly?
The sponge itself is 100% biodegradable and compostable.
Should I use it dry or wet?
Always hydrate the sponge in warm water until it is completely soft before applying it to your skin.
Troubleshooting
The sponge has developed a musty smell.
This indicates moisture retention. Sterilize by soaking in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then ensure it is hung in a better-ventilated spot to dry.
The sponge is tearing or crumbling.
Avoid wringing or twisting the sponge. Always press water out gently between flat palms and replace the sponge if it shows signs of significant wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before the first use, rinse the sponge thoroughly in warm water until it is completely soft. Always squeeze out excess water gently—never wring or twist the material, as this can tear the plant fibers.
Compatibility: These sponges are compatible with all skin types, including dry, oily, and combination skin. They can be used with any water-based facial cleanser, though creamy or gel cleansers often produce the best lather.
Care: After each use, rinse the sponge thoroughly and press out the water using the palms of your hands. Hang the sponge by its attached string in a well-ventilated area to air dry. Replace the sponge every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner if the material begins to break down or develop an odor.
