7 Surprising Ways You’ll Benefit from Using Natural Sponges

Natural Sponge Benefits

Natural sea sponges have many benefits for your skin and the environment. Inherently hypoallergenic, sea sponges are great for those with sensitivities.

They have antibacterial properties which makes them ideal for household cleaning tasks. And since they’re 100% natural, they contain no plastic or toxic chemicals that could harm the planet. They are a renewable natural resource.

 

What are Natural Sea Sponges?

Sea sponges are simple, multicellular creatures that live in the oceans. They pre-date dinosaurs by around 400 million years, but unlike T-Rex and his buddies, they’re still alive and kicking today. Also, they have a multitude of uses around the home, which is more than we can say for the dinos. Well, have you tried exfoliating with a stegosaurus?

Whether your goal is to take better care of your skin, switch to a natural beauty routine, or reduce waste and save money; consider trading your tatty old facecloth for a toxin-free natural sea sponge. Here are 7 ways you’ll benefit from using natural sea sponges.

 

#1. YOU’LL GLOW FROM TOP TO TOE With A Sea Sponge!

Sea sponges have top-notch exfoliating, circulation-boosting, radiance-enhancing abilities. Softly textured, they allow for gentle but effective removal of dead skin cells and dry, flaky patches to give you softer, smoother skin.

You may be a loofah lover (there’s no denying they give you a satisfying scrub) but for speedy showers, you need a multipurpose product. Sponges gently exfoliate and cleanse at the same time, by turning your soap into a lusciously creamy luxurious lather.

 

#2. YOU’LL GET MORE MILEAGE OUT OF YOUR MAKEUP With a Fine Silk Sponge

Silk sea sponges are a beauty fan’s favourite tool for applying lotions and makeup. Their unique texture results in even skin coverage and a professional-looking finish.

Swap your foam beauty blender or synthetic brush for a natural sponge and you’ll soon notice you need to apply less foundation. This is thanks to the sponge’s silky texture that creates a flawlessly smooth finish over large pores and fine facial lines.

 

#3. NATURAL SPONGES CAN BE USED BY THE WHOLE FAMILY

Your baby has delicate skin, you dislike harsh body-scrubbers and your hubby is secretly the sensitive type. No worries: natural sea sponges are safe for all skin types; especially suitable for the most sensitive of skins!

Baby’s bath time will be tantrum-free and you’ll get glowing skin without feeling like you’ve been attacked with a cheese grater. As for hubby, well, good luck getting SpongeBob PamperPants out of the bathroom now he’s discovered natural luxury.

 

#4. YOUR CAR WILL HAVE A HIGH-BEAM GLEAM!

Wash and buff your car with a highly absorbent natural sponge and it’ll be the brightest vehicle on the road!

Natural sea sponges get cars gleaming by generating suds that gently remove dirt; they soak up and hold the lather. Natural sponges are non-abrasive too, so they won’t scratch your fancy-pants paint job during cleaning.

So break up with the automatic car wash (because that time you left the window open still haunts you anyway) and get your hands dirty instead.

 

#5. Sea Sponges CLEAN Your BATHROOM And IMPRESS YOUR GUESTS

Sea sponges are naturally antibacterial and antifungal. When washed and dried correctly between uses, they resist odours too.

They’re a powerful weapon against muck and inhibit the growth of mould mildew in the shower and around the sink. Your taps will be so shiny, they’ll dazzle Mrs Whatsername when she comes round for a nosy.

 

#6. YOU CAN STOP THROWING PLASTIC (AND MONEY) AWAY

When cared for properly, a natural sea sponge can last for 2-6 years! They’re a much smarter investment than a cheap, synthetic washcloth. Not only will you save cash in the long run, but you’ll also reduce the waste you generate. And that means you minimise your impact on the environment with virtually no effort.

 

#7. YOU’LL BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO CLEAN, ECO LIVING With a Natural Sponge

Sea sponges are completely natural and organic, so they’re great if you’re striving to lead an eco-friendly lifestyle. They contain no plastic, synthetic materials or toxic dyes that could harm the planet.

Unlike synthetic sponges, they contain no microplastics that can shed during washing and get swept down the drain into rivers and seas. When it comes to bathing, it’s clear to “sea” that natural sponges are best.
