When the sponge arrives it is rock hard…don’t panic this is normal. Simply put it in water and within 15 minutes it will be soft and spongy. The next time you use it, it will only need to be soaped for a minute or 2.
Squeeze out excess water and then gently massage your face in small upward circles. Focus on dry spots. You don’t need to rub or scrub.
After use, rinse the sponge with clean water, squeeze out excess water and hang up to dry. Every 2 weeks rinse it in hot, not boiling, water to clean the sponge. Replace once it starts to break down, in about 5/6 weeks.
You might like to buy this on its own or with a ladder to put it on rather than hang it up. As long as it has good air flow it will be fine.
