🧿 What If the Plastic You Throw… Comes Back Through Your Skin?

 

You’ve probably seen those heartbreaking ocean photos—turtles tangled in plastic, fish cut open to reveal bottle caps and wrappers.

But what if I told you… the same plastic is inside you?

And worse, it might be showing up as your acne, hair thinning, irregular periods, or dull skin.

Microplastics are no longer just an environmental crisis. They are now a skin, hormonal, gut, and fertility concern—and they’re silently invading your body every single day.

🌫️ What Are Microplastics?

 

 

Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5mm—most are tinier than a sesame seed.

They come from:

• Primary microplastics: Intentionally made (e.g., microbeads, glitter)

• Secondary microplastics: Formed when big plastics break down

You’ll find them in:

• Water bottles

• Milk packets

• Face scrubs, creams, lipsticks

• Synthetic clothes

You don’t see them. You don’t taste them.
But your body absorbs them.

🧬 What Do Microplastics Do Inside Your Body?

 

Recent studies reveal a chilling truth — microplastics are found in blood, lungs, stool, even the placenta of unborn babies.

⚠️ 1. Disrupt Hormones

They mimic estrogen and confuse your body:

• Irregular periods

• PCOD symptoms

• Hair loss, mood swings, acne

⚠️ 2. Trigger Skin Inflammation

They clog pores, weaken your skin barrier, and attract pollutants:

• Persistent acne

• Redness, dullness

• Bumps and breakouts

⚠️ 3. Enter the Gut and Brain

You ingest up to 5 grams of microplastics weekly — the size of a credit card.

They:

• Damage digestion

• Lead to bloating, fatigue, brain fog

• Affect your skin and emotional well-being

 

🧼 Microplastics in Skincare — The Hidden Danger

 

 

Most mass skincare includes:

• Polyethylene (PE)

• Acrylates Copolymer

• Silicones and dimethicones

These are microplastics — polluting your body and the planet with every use.
