Do you remember the days when you could spend hours in the bathroom, taking life easy, no cares in the world? Oh yes, the days before motherhood! I can distantly remember taking time over my nails, soaking in the bath for as long as I liked, face mask on, candles lit. I do still prefer a bath over a shower, you know me and my water issues! I’ve always loved natural sponges over the synthetic foam ones so I’ve really enjoyed some pampering time with The Sponge Market lately.
The Sponge Market supply 4 different types of natural sponges – yellow, grass, honeycomb and silk. I recently received a Honeycomb sponge, available in a range of sizes, mine is 6-6.5 inches and it’s fab!
The sponge is so soft, making it ideal for all skin types and even babies too.
They are very popular for use washing babies and sensitive skin in general. They really are so much nicer than foam. I can confirm that they are 100% natural (I did find a tiny bit of coral in mine (so worth checking over before first use) and they are totally sustainably harvested.
Pampering time with The Sponge Market gives me a sponge that will last for ages and a big bonus in my eyes – they don’t smell and bacteria doesn’t hide on these sponges.
The Honeycomb range comes in sizes from 4.5-9 inches, prices from £11-£69. My sponge costs £24.00.
Yes, they are more expensive, but you don’t need to change them every five minutes, you know they are safe for all the family to use and they leave your skin feeling lovely and soft after use. It’s a little luxury that goes a long way.
I don’t have hours to spend on myself these days but I do deserve a bit of pampering time with The Sponge Market and I think you do too!
I have a 15% reader discount for you all – use FORTY at the checkout, and I can offer one lucky reader a Honeycomb 6-6.5 inch natural sponge worth £24.00 for themselves.
