Silkworm Cocoon for Facial Exfoliator??

Based on information that I gathered, Silkwom Cocoon is popularly used as facial exfoliator nowadays. They come from many brands and unbranded one. By chance, my cocoons are unbranded :p hehe. On internet these silkworm cocoons are called by many calls, for instance Blackhead Silk Finger Ball, Facial Silkworm Cocoon, Silkworm Cocoon Facial Celanser Balls and many more. China, India and Thailand are the main cultivators of silkworms :)

Do you notice silkworms cocoons' fibers? It looks so furry, LOL :p

If you are wondering why these cocoons have different shapes, it's because these cocoons are 100% natural from Silkworm (they weren't "moulded" by technology purposely) and that's why they might slightly have different shape and size.

These cocoons has quite hard texture at first, and we need to soften them with warm water before use them as facial exfoliator :)

Soak it in warm water (personally I'm fine with nearly hot water) and leave it for around 5 minutes.

Some websites said that we only need to damped it for 2-3 minutes, so I think it's only the matter personal preference ^_^

Because it's so lightweight and keep floating, I have to poke it many times to ensure all surface of this cocoon get damped completely. After 5 minutes, no need to wait for more because its surface isn't hot at all, just tuck your finger in and start rubbing your face!

One Silkworm Cocoon Ball for one face is more than enough ^.^

Now it's the fun part!

Rub rub rub

Dampen your cocoon again once it get dries, and repeat to massage your face gently and intensively.

You may rub your face for 10 minutes or more :)

Anyway, because these cocoons are fragrance free you might find that these cocoons smell so "natural" ._.

Like leaf's scent maybe? (If you ever sniffed leaf XD)

Performance

Actually I can't tell significant effect after used it ._. It's effective to clear away dirt on my face but it does nothing to my stubborn blackheads. My blackheads still stay firm. LOL. I have used it for 3 times so far and I find it doesn't gives any effect on my lovely blackheads. But yes, my skin feels smooth afterwards!

Pros (+)

+ Cheap
+ Effective to clear away dirt

+ 100% natural

+ Not rough
+ Affordable

Cons (-)

- Very plain packaging
- Doesn't works on my stubborn blackheads

- Only single use
