Tips To Make Your Skincare Routine More Eco-Friendly

It's no secret that the beauty industry is booming and has been for decades. With so many options, it can be overwhelming to find what works best for your skin type. One way to simplify your routine is by making it more eco-friendly.

Historically, the beauty industry has been a big contributor when it comes to global warming, however we are seeing positive trends for more eco-friendly products and lifestyles. At EverGlo, we pride ourselves on making the environment glow just as much as your skin. So, if you’re trying to make your skin care routine more eco-friendly but overwhelmed with where to start you have come to the right place. Let’s kickstart your sustainable beauty lifestyle by going over simple habits you can incorporate in your day-to-day routine.

Sustainability Tip #1: Use, Reduce, and Recycle!

The number of products we have in our bathrooms can be overwhelming. With the towering bottles of shampoo, lotions, cleansers, creams – the list could go on forever – it is often hard to remember the products that we already have. To be more sustainable, use every last drop of these products before buying new ones. When tossing your empties, aim them at the recycling bin or repurpose your bottles and jars and remember to only buy products that you actually need next time you go shopping. Not only will this reduce your waste, but your bank account will be smiling too!

Sustainability Tip #2: Turn Off the Tap!

It sometimes feels like we have an infinite amount of water at our disposal, however conserving water consumption is critical to making our environment more sustainable. Whether it’s brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t leave the tap running. Opt for showers over baths and limit your time spent in the shower. Long showers and baths can also strip your skin of its natural oils and dry it out. So, by limiting water use in your routine, you’re contributing to a happier planet and your skin will thank you in the long run!

Sustainability Tip #3: Support Sustainable Brands & Ingredients!

When purchasing your skin care products, take the time to consider which brands you are supporting and always make sure you’re reading the label. Stay away from toxic ingredients (cross-link to blog post #2) that will harm the environment and your skin. Make sure to opt for products that have organic natural skin care ingredients as well as being vegan and cruelty free. Choosing brands that have ethical ingredient sourcing policies and make zero waste, recyclable or compostable packaging are the best option. EverGlo Lotion (cross-link to product page) hits all these marks and leaves your skin hydrated and silky smooth – a great step to reaching your ultimate eco-friendly routine!
