5 Ways to Make Your Beauty Routine More Eco-Friendly
Every year, Earth Day reminds us of our beautiful planet and the importance of protecting it. But how can we translate that global responsibility into our daily routines?
Discover below five easy ways you can transform your beauty routine to be more eco-friendly.
1. Add Skincare Multitaskers To Your Routine
It can become easy for our shelves to start overflowing with specialised products, but you can easily streamline your routine by choosing products that can be used in a multitude of ways. Here are some examples of our favourite Jojoba multitasking products:
- Australian Jojoba: Our ultimate multitasker! Use it for skin, hair and nails. You can add sugar to it to create a scrub, add it to your favourite body lotion for extra nourishment or create your own DIY cleanser with it.
- Jojoba Water Toning Mist: Use it as a toner, to prep your skin for actives and to refresh the skin in the warmer months.
- Jojoba Bead Cleanser: An eco-friendly alternative to microplastics, the solidified Jojoba beads found in our Jojoba Bead Cleanser gently exfoliate the skin as it cleanses away makeup, oil and dirt.
- Daily Glow Exfoliating PHA Tonic: This tonic will hydrate your skin as it exfoliates using gentle PHAs for a renewed complexion.
- Pure Jojoba Gel Mask: Use this mask as an overnight treatment or a daily moisturiser.
- Jojoba Lip Balm: Use as a lip balm or on dry patches to add a boost of moisturisation.
By finding products that have multiple uses, you will reduce the number of products you need to buy, use, and ultimately dispose of.
2. Try Skincare Refills
Look for refillable options when shopping for skincare. Opting for a refill will help cut down on the amount of plastic waste you generate.
Big fan of our Australian Jojoba? Our new Harvest Season Bundle provides you with a refillable option, coming with both an Australian Jojoba 85ml bottle as well as an Australian Jojoba 200ml refill pouch, so you can ensure a continuous stream of Jojoba.
3. Embrace Reusable Tools and Accessories
Reusable beauty items are a fantastic way to minimise the environmental impact of your beauty routine while potentially saving money in the long run.
Here's a breakdown of some popular options:
- Washable face cloths, like ones made from organic cotton or bamboo
- Silicone face scrubbers for gentle exfoliation
- Reusable makeup remover pads, made from soft microfibre
- Reusable makeup applicators, like silicone makeup sponges
- Reusable makeup brushes with replaceable heads
By incorporating reusable items into your beauty routine, you can make a positive impact on the environment and potentially save money in the long run.
4. Create Your Own DIY Beauty
You might be surprised by how many effective beauty products you can create at home with ingredients already in your pantry.
Our 100% pure Australian Jojoba for example, is a great carrier oil and can be used alongside other ingredients to create products in your beauty routine. Try Jojoba as a makeup remover, mix it with sugar to create an exfoliating scrub or create your own hair oil treatment or mask.
5. Celebrate Earth Day with our Zero Waste Exfoliating Duo
Our Jojoba Bean Natural Exfoliant is a natural face and body scrub that leaves your skin feeling soft and renewed, and is only made with a single ingredient!
From Bean to Scrub: To create our Jojoba Bean Natural Exfoliant, we take the husks from our Jojoba beans, grind them up into a facial grade exfoliant and package them in a compostable bag, so you can do your bit for the environment too!
Skincare Multitasker: Our Australian Jojoba is extracted from the beans of our Jojoba plants on our Beresford Farm in Yenda NSW. As a wax ester and not an oil, Australian Jojoba is one of the most unique skincare ingredients out there. It mimics our skin’s own natural oils, making our skin more receptive to its vitamins, omegas and antioxidants.
By mixing our Australian Jojoba and Jojoba Bean Natural Exfoliant together, you can create the ultimate exfoliating polish to use for face and body, that will buff away dead skin and nourish the renewed skin.
After the Jojoba is extracted from the beans and the husks are used as part of the exfoliant, we have completed the lifecycle of our precious Jojoba beans, meaning zero waste from bean to bottle.
