    Creating a sustainable beauty routine doesn't have to be a chore. At the end of the day, we all just want to do our bit of the environment and every small effort can count.

    So rather than put pressure on yourself to go from zero to environmental hero in one leaping bound, start with some simple changes that can be easily incorporated into your routine.

    In the video above we share five sustainable beauty tips for beginners that can make a difference. And some of them are even a little fun too. 

    Don't feel like watching? Here's a snapshot of the tips below:

    #1 Use a konjac sponge

    Konjac sponges are biodegrabable, meaning less waste in your cleansing routine. Simply soak it in water and use with your favourite cleanser to remove makeup and cleanse the skin.

    Try: Garnier Organics Konjac Cleansing Sponge

    #2 Repurpose your product packaging

    Think about whether your empty tubs, tubes and containers can be turned into anything else - like transforming an empty Garnier Fructis Hydrating Aloe Vera Hair Foods into a flower pot. Get creative!

    #3 Up-size your beauty products

    Bigger sizing will last you longer, creating less waste.

    #4 Choose brands with sustainability iniatives in place

    By supporting them, you're supporting they're sustainability efforts.

    #5 Recycle properly

    Make sure to read the recycling labels of your beauty products to ensure you're sorting them into the right bins and removing any labels necessary. And always ensure they're rinsed clean.

    Hello everyone, I am proud to testify this testimony. i saw a post on how a lady got her husband back and i decided to try the spell caster that helped her because my relationship was crashing. although i never believed in spell work i reluctantly tried him because i was desperate but to my greatest surprise the spell caster Dr Ayoola helped me get my husband back after 5 month of divorce and my relationship is now perfect just as he promised, my husband now treats me like a queen even when he had told me before he doesn't love me anymore. well, i cannot say much but if you are passing through difficulties in your relationship contact him on his email: drayoolasolutionhome@gmail.com or website : https://drayoolasolutionhome.com/ or text him on whatsapp: +31684065675

    I haven't tried a konjac yet

    RalucaP 15 Sep 2020 9:15 PM

    Recycling and reducing waste as close to zero.

    Bellefleur 10 Sep 2020 1:26 PM

    I do try and re-purpose as many jars and containers as possible - from old candles, from food, from creams etc. And proper recycling whenever possible is so important too! I have been looking at getting a reusable makeup removing sponge/cloth, so need to get on that.

    I've tried some konjac sponges but they did not seem to do much. Maybe some brands are more effective than others.

    How long should you keep a konjac sponge for

    I recycle a lot of beauty packaging through Terracycle/Flora and Fauna, stuff that you can't put in the home recycling bin.

    darasparkle 5 Sep 2020 5:45 PM

    I have a Konjac sponge in my stash - I will have to try it soon! Thanks for the tips and the reminder :)
