The not so BIG list…. 22 ways you can make a difference today!
Here are some things to look for when seeking to make a change:
- DITCH those face wipes….beghhh. Use reusable cloth wipes
- REUSE/ Recycle Jars, spray bottles & containers.
- Always LOOK for eco-friendly packaging (very important to me) Seek out brands that offer minimal packaging (…or go for NO packaging at all.)
- Opt to TRY shampoo bars (It’s worth it)
- Opt for multi-purpose products, SIMPLIFY your skincare routine.
- USE every last drop of your products.
- AVOID disposables (grab reusable products)
- USE Eco-friendly ingredients (huge impact & difference)
- BECOME more mindful of how much product you consume (a small amount goes a long way)
- LOOK for recycling programs offered by brands (More and more brands are now offering recycling options)
- SHOP for brands that give back (nothing makes me more happy than to even pay the extra cost to help our planet)
- SHOP refillable products (gamechanger)
- Always RECYCLE properly
- DONATE anything you don’t need
- PURCHASE reusable cotton pads
- PURCHASE cruelty free/ Vegan products
- REPURPOSE mascara wands: Do you know that you can donate them to the wildlife, and they can use these to nurture
- DISCOVER brands that give back to Earth! (So many partake in eco-conscious initiatives to help preserve our planet)
- STAY AWAY from products that contain microbeads (not biodegradable)
- AVOID single use products (there are so many now available in sustainable packaging)
- DON’T waste water (don’t leave it running)
- USE up what you have! (Stop buying what you want, buy what you need)
Did you know?
There’s a CLEAR demand for sustainability across all industries. It has become more evident in the past few years. The more the public becomes eco-conscious, the more they’re determined to CHANGE old habits and aim to live a sustainable life. This all done by supporting more RESPONSIBLE brands & PRACTICING more a more simplied liefstyle. I have to say, it feels really GOOD to support brands that work hard to make a DIFFERENCE on not just ourselves (our bodies) but the world we live in.
In a nutshell, sustainability is all about creating a MODEL that demonstrates the least IMPACT on the environment. In skincare and in beauty, sustainability means REDUCING the use of single-use plastics, having recyclable packaging, carefully OBSERVING non-toxic ingredients, ensuring the SAFETY of the product, and DECREASING the carbon footprint. (And this includes from the manufacturing to the delivering the product.)
If you’re WONDERING how you can do better for our planet, your beauty routine is a great place to start. It may seem intimidating, but it’s actually not as hard as you may think. Start off by creating small habits and work your way up.
Now, this change, the desire to make a difference, didn’t all happen in one day. This amazing MOVEMENT is currently making it’s way. And if we all PARTAKE in this movement, (one small change at a time), we ALL can make a difference.
