What if
there were a product such as a face scrub for both men and women which did not
use microbeads at all? Those microbeads are in loads of everyday cosmetic
products from body wash to face scrubs and even toothpaste. But some companies
are already producing products which can avoid the chaos and damage to the
environment. This is revolutionary – it
just needs people to wake up and stop buying harmful products.
Microbeads are bad for the environment.
Microbeads are bad for the environment.
They are
just tiny polyethylene elements which are supposed to tighten the pores in your
skin and kill off dead cells. But the damage they do to the ecosystem is
staggering. The State of Illinois has banned these already. Watch the video to find out what damage these
can cause to our environment. Given that they can
last up to
100 years, this is scary. The fish eat them because they look like food and
then we eat the fish! You can see why this is urgent and why the Great Lakes states are already trying to push
legislation through.
What about alternative
products?
Yes, there
are companies who are determined not to use any ingredients which will ruin our
environment and at the same time do our skin a lot of good. This is a win win
situation. Did you know that the very soft volcanic pumice stone often used for
cleaning stains from hands can also be used in delicate skin care? The actual stone (Ryolite lava rock) has fine
and coarse grounds which can clear away dead cells and when used in conjunction
with apple peel, can help to clean all the clogged pores while revealing fresh
new cells which can finally let you have fresh, rejuvenated skin.
There are
other ingredients which are totally skin-friendly and which are more than
effective. These include Shea butter, Jojoba oil which can moisturize at
several layers and give your skin a fresh new look. This company (xtendlife) is
streets ahead of the new legislation. They have already done what most
companies will only start to do in a few years’ time. Why not be ahead of the
game and help save the planet?
