Organic vs. Synthetic Scrubs

In this clip I'm going to talk to you about the different types of scrubs and whether they're made of an organic matter or if they're synthetic. A lot of times the scrubs that you'll see in the stores are of small spheres that are made of almost a plastic like material. I don't really care for those scrubs because they can get lodged in the pores and they don't disintegrate and they never come out and then you have like a weird plastic in your face. What I like is something more of a natural variety. This scrub is made of rice bran. This scrub is made of corn cob meal. And then this one is made of plant based products and I like that because you want to keep it as natural as possible. Whatever you're putting on your face, you'd want it to be the same kind of thing you'd put in your body. I mean, why would you want to put something synthetic on your face? So I always say stick to things made of an organic material. I also find they're a bit more effective because they're more abrasive.
