You'll hear people swear that the secret to good skin is good exfoliation, and that the secret to good exfoliation is microbeads. You may not know them by name, but you've seen them: They're those teeny tiny plastic balls that tend to crop up in your body washes, face soaps, and toothpastes. But it's time to say so long, because 
We do some crazy things to ourselves in the name of beauty -- so crazy, in fact, that some of them can even be downright dangerous! It's true: Some of the simple things we do to look our best every single day could be hazardous to our health.
If you're not going to be the best dressed, why not go for the most shocking, which nowadays seems to get more press and notoriety than looking fashionable?

It's almost the start of wedding season! (Isn't it always?) As we're still knocking back eggnog and wrapping presents, it's kind of hard to care. But, one company's figured out a way to grab our attention, whether we're tying the knot in six months or not.
