Looking After You: Sustainable Tips You May Not Know
This month I talk about sustainable beauty tips…
• Brands
Use brands that are conscious about the environment as well as your skin. The B-corp initiative means brands are taking on the responsibility of caring for the planet, using their brand to give back to the environment and communities.
• Reusable & Eco
Where possible use items like reusable cotton pads that can be made by hand and washed after each use. Eco friendly toilet paper without chemicals & dyes and even reusable or biodegradable cotton buds are all available and are easy sustainable swaps.
• Upcycle
Often beauty products come in jars and bottles that can be reused, upcycle the packaging can encourage creativity on
how you can prevent certain items going to landfill. Looking for recyclable packaging is always an option but making a conscious effort to recycle correctly.
• Use it all
Use up what you you have. If a product doesn’t suit your skin try giving it away to a family member or friend so they can use it rather than letting it go to waste.
• Make your own
Try making your own natural products. This may take some practice but can be fun to create your own lip balm, face mask or even deodorant which is safe for the environment as well as your health.
