Who knew my facial exfoliant was such a big deal?! We are all aware that plastic bags are seriously bad news for all creatures.. yet very little attention is paid to the teeny tiny plastic beads in your exfoliant. These build up in the smallest sea creatures, and in turn the bigger and bigger ones until... they become so toxic they die, or we eat them. Lovely thought. I can thank Alan Weisman's book 'The World Without Us' for this tidbit. Great read, by the way. Check it here.
So far the only reasonable priced substitute is St. Ives Apricot Scrub, however my facialist is adament that the shards are too sharp and skin damaging. For now, I guess Ill be scrubbin' with a facecloth the old-fashioned way. Maybe that's not so bad after all.
