Washing with a sponge or without a sponge? That is the question!

Different types of sponges are used to wash a variety of things: from kitchen utensils, through baby toys, to cars. The most controversial, however, is the sponge that we use (or not!) to wash our bodies. Is it possible to clean the skin properly without using a sponge? Is a sponge a habitat for bacteria and fungi? The truth lies somewhere in the middle of ... a sponge.

The most important facts about the bath sponge:

- Sponges are usually double-sided - the smooth and soft part is used for gentle skin massage, during which we gently remove impurities and dead skin cells and improve skin blood circulation; the rough side will work against dirt that is more difficult to remove (e.g. after working in the garden), it can also be used to clean the feet;

- Washing the skin by hand can be as effective as washing with a sponge, provided that the former is supplemented with regular skin scrubs;

- Bacteria, molds and yeasts like a warm and humid environment, so a sponge can be a potential habitat for these; if we use a sponge, we should change it often and regularly, and in the intervals between baths - it is best to dry it and store it in a dry place;

- An alternative to sponges are various types of washcloths - it is best to choose those that can be washed in a washing machine, thanks to which we will be sure that they will not be settled by unwanted bacteria or fungi.

Regardless of whether you are an ardent supporter of sponges or their fierce opponent - you need the right cosmetic to clean your skin. Neither Savanti Relax Liquid Soap nor Savanti Style Soap (both Savanti brands) mind using them with or without a sponge.
