Easy Tips for Making Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable
Even small changes can make a big impact when we're talking about saving the planet-and it can be as simple as tweaking your daily beauty routine. Simply host Haley Cairo has been looking for ways to make her beauty routine more sustainable-and found that it's much easier than you'd expect.
Haley opts for reusable tools, trading in one-use makeup wipes and swabs for reusable versions (that work with just water-no product required!). She also uses makeup brands, like Saie and Glow Recipe, that are committed to being carbon neutral, and work with Terracycle to make it easy to recycle and reuse the packaging for her beauty products.
