If you rummage through your beauty cabinet tonight, you'll undoubtedly find several products stored away that contain microbeads – those little plastic beads that work as cleansers to scrub off the body's dead skin cells. But although they might be good for your dry patches, microbeads are having an epically awful effect on the environment.

Which is why 2018 has delivered yet another beauty win and banned them for good. Yup, as of today microbeads can no longer be used in rinse off products, and from July 2018 will be gone from shop shelves for good. Huzzah!
