So you’re in the market for a new shower or bath sponge, are you? Well have you ever considered a natural sponge? Yep, there is such a thing, and it’s exactly what the folks atMeeka Sea Sponges specialise in.
And because natural sea sponges may not be something you’ve ever heard of before, we thought we’d clue you in on what they’re all about and why your skin will love them…
What are natural sea sponges?
Natural sea sponges are actually the complex skeleton of a small marine species that grows in colonies on the ocean floor. Sea sponges have amazing regenerative powers, so when harvested correctly, have the ability to re-grow – thus making them a great renewable natural resource.
What are seas sponges used for?
Sea sponges can be used for just about anything. From make-up application, bathing, exfoliation, and massage, to washing cars, animals, and even painting!
Why are sea sponges better than synthetic sponges?
When synthetic sponges are made, they are injected with triclosan, which is classified as a pesticide that fights bacteria. Sea sponges naturally do not hold bacteria or mould, so if you’re looking for a sponge minus the nasties, this is it! They’re also gentle on the skin so don’t cause or exacerbate irritation, and work up an easy lather, which means your favourite products will last longer!
Are sea sponges safe to use on newborns and children?
The Meeka Fine Silk Baby Sea Sponge is extremely soft and extremely gentle on skin, making it ideal for newborns, babies, and children. Its range of Fine Silk sponges are also recommended for anyone with sensitive skin.
TOP PRODUCTS:
Fine Silk Mini – This little sponge can be used to apply and removed your make-up. To apply foundation, make sure you dampen the sponge first – this will ensure that the sponge absorbs the water and not your foundation.
Loofah Facial Discs – These handy exfoliating discs will help remove dead skin cells from your face and stimulate blood flow, leaving your skin looking healthy, radiant, and positively glowing.
Honeycomb – This luxurious sponge is just the thing you need to take your soak in the tub to the next level. The soft, gentle sponge can hold a lot of water and only needs a little bit of body wash to get a great lather going.
To keep your sponges in tip-top shape: make sure you rinse and squeeze them thoroughly after each use (so that they’re free from all product and water) and, once a month, soak the sponges for an hour in hot water with a tablespoon of baking soda.
