What are facial sponges used for?

The facial sponge, or face wash sponge, which can effectively replace traditional towels, non-woven fabrics, or other cotton facial cleaning tools, is an effective and economical way of facial cleansing and skin care.

Why should we use cellulose facial sponges and benefits?

As an age of industrialization, our living environment is full of challenges. For example, highly polluted air and dust can cause potential damage to our facial skin. To care for our delicate skin, we tried different skincare products made of simple materials or even high-tech cleaning products, such as electric face washers, to ensure the skin’s health.

As a traditional facial wipe product, the face cleansing sponge has been available for a long time. It is a relatively economical, safe, and environmentally friendly cleaning tool on the market and has the following advantages:

Deep Cleansing

Ordinary wiping products such as face wash towels and traditional towels can only clean the dust-covered face and cannot penetrate deep into the pores. However, the wood pulp fiber made facial cleansing sponges penetrate directly into the substrate to obliterate dirt.

Exfoliating and massage

It can effectively remove dead skin on the face, massage the face and promote blood circulation in the front. It can be used for a long time and has a whitening effect. It can be used for most people, is suitable for all skin types, and does not cause allergic reactions.

Very soft

Sponges used for professional facial cleaning are generally as soft as face towels—even gentle enough to wash the baby’s face and body.

Health and hygiene

Thanks to the open-pore structure of the sponge, the face wash is easier and faster to dry than ordinary towels, effectively eliminating the nourishment of bacteria in humid environments and ensuring facial hygiene.

Extremely environmentally friendly

Face wash sponges made of natural materials can be discarded directly after use and will not harm the environment—an effective and economical way of facial cleansing and care.

What are compressed facial sponges?

Facial sponges can be divided into two types: dry and wet. Under standard conditions, as the face wash sponges contain moisturizers, they feel moist to the touch. Dry face wash sponges generally refer to compressed facial sponges. It is a cleansing facial pad that has been air-dried and compressed during the production and processing process.

There is no difference in material between the two forms. The dried face sponges were invented to solve the high freight caused by the large volume during transportation. In addition, the compressed sponge pads are also convenient for long-term storage, which is a more popular product in recent years.

How are facial sponges produced?

Here, the facial sponge refers to a cleansing sponge made of wood pulp or cellulose material, and it was produced by cutting and punching the cellulose sponge blocks. The manufacturing process mainly includes 4 processing steps.

1. The foaming of sponge blocks. The original foam size of the cellulose sponge is 1.02m*1.02m*38cm. In this process, the sponge’s color, the pores’ size, and the density, toughness, and pull resistance are all determined.

2. Sponge block initial cutting. After being processed by a horizon cutting machine, the original facial sponge sheet will be cut into the required thickness. In this process, if compressed facial sponges need to be produced, the sponge sheet will be fixed on the frame, waiting to dry out. If it does not need to be compressed, the sponge sheet will be sent to the next step – die-cutting.

3. Die-cutting. In this stage, the semi-finished sponge sheet created in step 2 will be put into the punching machine for punching. Unlike traditional cutting or c NC cutting, this part requires the participation of die cut molds. The sponge diecut moulds determine the final product size and shape.

4. Deliver the order. According to the customer’s demand, bulk facial sponges will be delivered directly or OEM production if the customer requires a private label service.

How to use facial sponges?

The facial cleansing sponge is the most commonly used cleansing wiping tool. Its usage is the same as that of cleaning cotton pads. please pay attention to the following points during use:

3. Ways to wash face. After foaming, place the sponge on your face to wash your face. Pay attention to the order of washing. It would help if you flew from the place where the oil comes out first. It is usually the T-zone: the forehead and nose, then the chin, and finally the cheeks. When washing your face, use a gentle, circular massage, not too hard. The dirt on the front will be wrapped in foam and a sponge, waiting for us to wash it off.
