I am switching to a scrubber today. Ive used the St. Ives and its great so its not a problem really. My spa also uses microbeads with its treatments. Its disturbing how we effect the world without realizing whats happening. Thanks for a great article.

Like Leslie above me, I toss in a little bit of rock sugar or rock salt and use that to exfoliate. Or just a washcloth.
