When it comes to your morning makeup routine, most women pretty much have it down to a five minute science. However, one thing that may not be going through your head as you are trying to race out the door is whether your makeup products are eco-friendly. You may not realize it, but many makeup-up products are filled with chemicals and artificial ingredients that are not only bad for the environment, but also for your skin.
That being said, there are a number of ways you can make the necessary adjustments to your morning routine so that not only are you improving the health of your skin, but you are also supporting the green cause. The following are some great recommendations for transforming your make-up routine:
Use Organic Botanical Products — Many beauty products, from lotions to shampoos, offer organic alternatives that use all natural organic plants and minerals in their creation. These products will leave your face and skin clean and fresh without the chemically-induced irritation.
Mineral Foundation — Swapping your current liquid foundation for a more natural, mineral enhanced powder not only does wonders for your skin, but it also will allow you to rid yourself of using tons of chemicals on your face.
Non-Animal Tested Products — Perhaps one of the most inhumane practices, testing chemical products on innocent animals can cause immeasurable harm. Leave these products behind and get the satisfaction of knowing that you are saving animals all over the world.
Herbal Enhancements — When shopping for makeup and beauty products, make sure that you are looking for products that are made from all natural ingredients, from shea butter to vitamins and herbs. If you don’t know what half the ingredients in your products are, it’s a safe bet they are not going to be good for you or the environment.
Refill your products — There are a ton of perfume and beauty product companies that will refill your product if you save the bottle it was purchased in. Not only do you avoid wasting containers, you also save money because you don’t have to pay packaging prices twice.
