pureSOL Activated Charcoal Konjac Sponge Review

I recently got to try out pureSOL's activated charcoal konjac sponge. I'm always on the hunt to try something new, and it's even better if it's a product that helps improve your facial skin. My skin isn't terrible, but It could definitely use a few improvements. I mean who doesn't want brighter looking skin and to improve the texture of it.

So, what exactly is a konjac sponge? Konjac is a moisture rich plant fibre that is native to Asia, Japan, China, and Indonesia. Not only is it used for beauty products, but it's also used as medicine and food. It's nature alkaline helps balance the acidity of the skins impurities and oils. The sponge gently massages the skin by breaking down the dirt and stimulating the blood flow, which helps promote new skin cell growth. The sponge is made of 100% pure vegetable fiber and is processed without coloring or additives, making it good for hypersensitive skin.

I started using the konjac sponge right away. The first thing I noticed while taking it out of the packaging was that it was pretty hard. I soaked it for a few minutes and it was completely squishy. It also had a tiny string attached and came with a small suction hook. It recommends to hang it in a well ventilated area so it can dry. I have a nosey cat that likes to knock things down, so I decided to keep mine in the bathroom by the sink. I've been using the sponge for a couple of weeks now and I haven't noticed any irritation or redness. Which is great because my skin can be terribly sensitive at times. I've noticed that I also don't have as much dry skin around my nose. So, It's definitely helping with some of my skin issues.

This pureSOL konjac sponge is also 100% natural and eco friendly. Brownie points! I love that it's free of parabens, sulfates, and chemicals. It's also biodegradable! You can compost the sponge when it's time to replace it. I also like that it's cruelty free and vegan.

Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil Review

If you're not familiar with tea tree oil, you should definitely look into it. Tea tree oil is an essential oil that is derived from the leaves of Melaleuca tree in Australia.

I recently got the opportunity to try out Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil. I've heard of tea tree oil before, but didn't know too much about it. I thought that the only use for tea tree oil was for acne issues. I was wrong! I found out about the many different uses it has, and I was amazed at what I found out.

Apothecary Extracts sent me an e-book with 50+ uses for the tea tree oil, along with a little recipe to create new things. The e-book was very helpful. I learned that not only can you use tea tree oil for fighting acne, but you can also use it for toe fungus, lice, skin tags, dandruff, ringworm, eczema, and so much more.

You can even use tea tree oil to make your own shampoo, lotion, body wash, and toothpaste. That isn't all tea tree oil can do. You can use it to make all natural household cleaners! Which I think is pretty great, especially when I've got a little one and a cat.

I've tried the tea tree oil on three things so far. First I tried it for my acne, and I can definitely tell a difference. My acne isn't completely gone, but it's definitely not as bad as it was. The second thing I tried it on was my eczema. I didn't have eczema until two years ago, and it comes and goes as it pleases. I had a spot on my arm that had been terribly itchy for at least two weeks, and nothing was helping it. Not even my prescription cream. So I decided what the heck, the tea tree oil can't make it any worse. I put it on once a day and it slowly started to go away. I do have a little scar from itchy, but the red bumpy skin is gone! I've also tried it in my shampoo. I just mixed a drop into my regular shampoo and washed my hair. My scalp hasn't been nearly as itchy, and the tea tree oil makes it feel minty fresh.

I plan on trying the all natural cleaners with it soon!

I've only got one complaint about the tea tree oil, and that would be how strong the scent is. It's not a scent that I enjoy, but I've gotten use to it.
