What does it take to make Mother Earth a better place? Each of takes a role with every decision we make.
When you use your own water bottle instead of buying water in plastic bottles, you’re making a difference.
When you sort your trash into recyclables and throw-away, you’re making a difference.
But what about in your beauty routine? Are you making the world - and your home - a little greener with the way you shop?
Pay Attention To The Brand
You might be using a brand you’ve loved for years, but how sustainable are their practices? Do they include questionable chemicals in their products? Do they design packaging with less waste?
Go With Gender-Neutral Products
Do you have different products for every member of the family? Is your bathroom starting to look like your favorite store? Avoid the pink and blue, and find products that appeal to everyone. When you look at clean, chemical-free personal products, you start to find less gender-specific branding and a higher-quality product. It’s a great way to declutter your bathroom and find safe products for everyone.
Simplify
Do you use several different products that essentially do the same thing? In some cases, less is more. By reducing the number of products you use, you can help reduce your product footprint. And when you look for high-quality products, you can find items that offer greater benefits to your routine. You might find your skin will thank you, have fewer blemishes, and improve your skin’s tone and texture over time.
Recycle
When you’re through with your products, be sure to recycle the bottles instead of throwing them away. If you’re resourceful, upcycle the containers and give them another use. Some bottles can beautifully be made into vases, holders, or even artwork.
