I tend to stay away from the products with microbeads.
Why?
I have never found them very effective in the first place, but what really confirmed my dislike of them was the sentence I once read: “What do you think happens to all those microbeads which are washed down your drain?”
Most exfoliation products contain plastic beads. Those go down the drain, into our water system, finish up in oceans.
Apparently ocean fish all contain microbeads in their digestive system and in their tissue.
3 exfoliation methods that are really effective:
1. Salon treatments
2. Skin brushing
I used to do it regularly, but when kids came, taking 10-15 extra minutes in the bathroom every day simply was not an option.
However, it is great at stimulating lymphatic drainage if you master and follow the brushing sequence, so if you can find time to go though the process it does make you feel invigorated and “tingly”.
I still do it every now and again, mainly because the brush feels so nice on the skin.
3. Baiden Mitten
There just is no comparison as thousands and thousands of our clients will attest to.
I love it not only for how effective it is, but also how little work you have to put into having the best skin that is possible for you.
Once a week in a bath or shower (I usually do it 2 times a week in summer, once a fortnight in winter) and that is ALL it takes. For face and body.
