micro beads in face scrubs
Are exfoliating micro beads in face scrubs still a danger ? It recently came in the press regarding the dangers to skin, is it still the case ?

I thought they were supposed to be dangerous to fish, but if fish need moisturisers I'd be very surprised, what with the sea levels rising.

I don't use any exfoliators with beads in it. Not sure if they can be considered 'dangerous' but I think they could potentially aggravate my skin so I don't use them. I only use smooth exfoliators now.

What a ridiculous statement.
Environmental concerns are more important than cosmetics. Anyone who thinks otherwise should think more deeply, if they can. |

They are an environmental disaster, so you should consider using other options.

People are being very rude to the OP.
To answer the question, yes they are dangerous and I thought they had been banned. You should try to buy scrubs etc with salt or nut based 'scrubby bits' in them. |

You'd prefer they continue in ignorance, perhaps? Enlighten us.
