Natural Exfoliants Can Cause Micro Tears In The Skin

Natural, Green and Organic are all catch terms in today's marketing and rightfully so, but where exfoliants are concerned "natural" isn't always better.

Read the ingredient lists on your exfoliant. Some of the most popular physical exfoliants such as walnut shells and apricot pits can cause micro-tears in the skin. Once the skin is compromised it is open to irritants and infectious agents.

If you're looking for an exfoliating cleanser looking for products containing small and round uniform particles like polyethylene beads. A great natural option is to look for scrubs made with sugar or salt. Once moistened the crystals will dissolve leaving your skin bright and fresh.
