5 Tips To Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable

1. Minimal Packaging Products

Packaging plays a huge part in generating the physical waste from the beauty industry. To make your routine sustainable, try reaching out for products like soap bars that are made using recyclable materials or products with packaging that have the potential to be reused for a different purpose. 

2. Repurpose Your Mascara Wand

Once you are done using your mascara, don't throw it away. Rather than simply dumping it and increasing the levels of single-use plastics, wash and reuse the wand as a lash or brow brush or apply setting product on your brows, lashes and fly-aways. 

3. Pick Multipurpose Formulations

When it comes to being sustainable, every bit counts. Switching to multipurpose formulations or solutions is a great way to save the planet and money. One can easily opt for tints that can be applied on eyes, cheeks and lips rather than purchasing three different products that may serve similar purposes. You can even opt for serums that cater to multiple concerns with one solution.

4. Reduce The Amount Of Cleansing Product

We often tend to think that more product means better results. No matter what kind of cleansing product you use, you do not need multiple pumps of it. A small amount goes a long way. 

5. Switch To Reusable Essentials

Rather than using makeup pads that add to the carbon footprint created by plastic, opt for reusable cotton pads. These are various eco-friendly options to remove your makeup without a drop of chemically formulated solutions. Simply wash these reusable cotton pads or towels and you're good to go.
