TO SCRUB OR NOT TO SCRUB// DIY NATURAL SCRUBS

WE ALL LOVE TO HAVE A FRESH HEALTHY COMPLEXION AND WE USE THE PRODUCTS THAT WE THINK WILL BE THE BEST FOR JUST SUCH.

THE FACIAL SCRUB.
THESE PRODUCTS CONTAIN PLASTICS. MANY SMALL MICRO BEADS OF PLASTIC THAT WE WASH OFF AND END UP IN THE WATER , RIVERS AND STREAMS.

THE PROBLEM IS ACCORDING TO A STUDY DONE AT A UNIVERSITY IN SWEDEN , THESE MICRO BEADS ARE EATEN BY THE FISH IN THE RIVERS AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT NATURAL FOOD FOR ANY SPECIES.

THOSE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE MICRO BEADS ARE NO LONGER SOLD IN THE USA , BUT ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN EUROPE.

SO REALLY WE ARE POLLUTING OUR WATER WITH MORE GARBAGE!

IF YOU WANT TO HELP CHANGE THIS, TRY USING OTHER NATURAL PRODUCTS OR
MAKE YOUR OWN NATURAL FACIAL SCRUB USING THINGS FROM YOUR KITCHEN.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement .
