Facial Scrubs Without the Plastic Particles to Save Your Skin and the Planet
By Jennifer Raskin
Looking your best requires a skincare ritual that effectively helps encourage healthy skin cell turnover. As we age, facial scrubs are a must in our weekly regimen. However, many options that buff your skin to youthful perfection often include plastic microbeads.
These tiny balls of plastic are in all sorts of beauty products, though they are often touted as the physical exfoliant that help you slough away dead skin cells on the surface. While they work, they are hugely problematic – they soak up all the toxins in the water, then get washed down the drain.
Where they go from there is the biggest problem…plastic microbeads are small enough to be easily digested by even the smallest animals in the food chain. These beads even bypass sewage treatment measures, and ultimately, they wind up in the foods we eat.
Thankfully, there are many amazing alternatives that will give your skin that freshly exfoliated glow without these harmful ingredients. Take a look at these natural facial scrubs that are free of plastic microbeads!
As the colder weather ebbs away, get your skin ready to glow through spring with these exceptional natural facial scrubs, all sans plastic beads!
