Dew Puff: Ancient, Asian Beauty Secret Makes its Way to the US
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- The Dew Puff line of facial sponges (http://www.dewpuff.com) represents a revolutionary new cleansing concept available for the first time in North America. Three, all natural (+vegan, vegetarian) varieties (Original, Bamboo Charcoal, and Asian Clay) target both the natural and mainstream consumer looking for economical, 100% plant based alternatives to cloths, synthetic facial wipes, and ineffective cleaning with one’s hands. The products are designed for everyday use, as well as for use after medical spa treatments and facial surgery.
Popular in Asia for hundreds of years, the beautiful simplicity of Dew Puff sponges is that they only contain two ingredients - water and Konjac root, a sustainable commodity. Konjac is known as ‘Kon-nyaku’ in Japan where it has been used in these types of sponges for beautiful skin for hundreds of years. Konjac is versatile: also known as elephant yam, it has been used in Asian cooking for thousands of years. Konjac is now making its way to North America in food in the form of vegan seafood alternatives, low/no calorie noodles, and in supplements where it is used as a weight loss ingredient known as glucomanman.
“Beauty has been a pursuit of women since ancient times. The reason 100% plant based facial sponges is interesting to today’s woman is that age-old techniques and tools withstand the test of time and efficacy,” states Masashi Tsuchiya, founder of the Dew Puff line.
Konjac has an amazing ability to hold water. When the sponge is hydrated, it becomes very soft, yet this ancient plant fiber also gives the sponge its unique, gentle exfoliating property. It moisturizes without the use of moisturizing ingredients and never dries the skin due to the fact that it gives the skin a balanced pH. This naturally alkaline layer of water between the sponge and the skin allows it to ‘hydroplane’ over the skin. This makes it a better choice than cleansing with one’s hands where any type of pressure can cause pain to sensitive skin and skin that has been ‘traumatized’ after medical spa treatments. It is also effective for cleansing sunburns and minor wounds.
Masashi, founder and beauty visionary of Dew Puff, is a modern-day, global trader. His youth was spent in Japan and Argentina where he realized his passion for travel, sustainability, and bringing the finest traditional products to the U.S. market. His wife, Maya, found Konjac facial sponges when searching out the most effective, totally natural beauty products in Asia. Masashi and Maya realized that beautiful skin and environmental sustainability come together in these groundbreaking products.
Dew Puff Bamboo Charcoal sponge imparts all the benefits of charcoal and is great for removing toxins. It is perfect for blemish prone skin. Dew Puff Asian Clay is designed for aging and normal skin as it imparts all the benefits of clay without drying the skin as would a clay mask. Dew Puff Original is versatile: it is designed to be used alone or with one’s own favorite facial cleanser. The sponge neutralizes dirt and acidic substances on the skin and allows them to rinse away without the use of soap.
Dew Puff is affordable with a suggested retail price of $7.00. It can be purchased at leading natural chains like Vitamin Cottage, and beauty stores like C. O. Bigelow Apothecaries, Wilshire Beauty and 2nd Street Beauty. Find it on line at http://www.dewpuff.com, Amazon, and SmallFlower/Mertz Apothecary.
