I wouldn't even exfoliate every day, your skin needs to have it's natural oils on it for at least a little bit every day, it helps it heal and provides protection.

I've been reading about how you shouldn't use microbeads for years, where have you been?
Well that explains why they added the "gentle microbeads" disclaimer then.

But I seriously had no idea they were bad, or that they didn't dissolve or break open. Now I'll have to clean my shower again tomorrow, too - unless I want to just pretend I'm at a very sandy beach. (EDIT: As opposed to, you know, the kind of beach with NO sand. Maybe I should just cut my lossed and go to bed. )
