6 Simple Ways to Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable

Every small change can have a big impact on the environment!

Living a sustainable lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have to go dumpster diving for old beauty products. In this post, we have put together a list of five super easy ways you can be more sustainable with your beauty routine, without sacrificing on the glow!

TIP #1:Β TurnΒ the water off

It's estimated that letting your faucet run for five minutes (say, while you double cleanse) can waste 10 gallons of water a day, and brushing your teeth with the tap running can waste an additional eight!

TIP #2: Support sustainable, eco-friendly brands

Some of our favourite Korean skin care brands that are commited to being sustainable and earth-friendly are RE:P, E Nature, Aromatica and Innisfree!

TIP #3: Get creative withΒ your empties

Just because you’re done withΒ a product doesn’t mean you can't giveΒ its packaging a new lease on life. Take theΒ Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze exfoliating padsΒ jar and repurpose them as aΒ succulent vase, or useΒ an emptyΒ Innisfree Orchid Eye CreamΒ as a bobby pin holder. The possibilities really are endless when you let your creativity run free!

TIP #5: Reach for products with minimal packaging

To make your beauty routine more sustainable, consider reaching for products or shop from brands that have minimal or almost no packaging. Here at Nudie Glow, we're always trying our best to reduce waste, which is why we have decided to ditch plastic,Β wrappers, ribbons, crinkle paper, frillsΒ orΒ over-the-top fancy packaging for aΒ simple, white box that does what it needs to doβ€”deliver goods to our customers, without adding unnecessary burden on the planet.

TIP #6:Β Size matters

Other than what you shop, the way you shop matters too! Online shopping in bulkΒ will help eliminate the need for more packaging, and the postie won’t be burning petrol twice to deliver your products either!
