Happy skin and a clean conscience? You got it
Hurrah, we’re just six weeks away from July, when the ban on selling products with microbeads comes into effect. Those tiny bits of plastic that have been lurking in our toothpastes, shower gels, exfoliators and make-up and polluting our oceans will no longer be part of anyone’s beauty regime.
But how can you be sure that what you’re putting on your skin is actually good for you and the environment? We’ve been on a mission to check on ingredients and it doesn’t take long to get to know the key culprits to avoid (ahem… polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, we’re looking out for you).
Switch to #CleanerBeauty…
Ready to clean up your beauty act? Wave goodbye to parabens and sodium lauryl sulphate, a foaming agent that creates froth in shower gels.
Bamboozled by science? Hotfoot it to Holland and Barrett for #CleanerBeauty products. There’s not one howler among all its eco-friendly, recyclable, natural or organic products, plus it’s completely transparent about the ingredients that go into its entire product line-up. Plus, you’ll savour every last bit knowing it’s good for you and good for the environment.
We’ve been already and found these natural, nourishing #CleanerBeauty options to switch up our summer skincare regime…
Swap your face wash for…
Looking for a revitalising face wash that’ll cleanse and calm your skin using natural ingredients? Try switching to Dr Organic Aloe Vera Creamy Face Wash, £6.99.
Try these cleansing wipes…
If these Beauty Kitchen Sustainable Beauty Wipes, £5.99, aren’t already on your radar, they should be. They’re made from organic cotton and 100% natural ingredients, meaning they’re compostable (yup, that’s even better than biodegradable).
