Beauty products… we are bombarded with so many choices today, but how harmful can these products be to us and the environment we live in? We are not taking note of the effects of these products but rather on the effect they have on our self-esteem. Most beauty products go through extensive animal testing to ensure that we can use them, because of the complex formulations of the ingredients used.
Wait, shouldn’t this be setting off some alarm bells already? These products contain so many ingredients that our skin needs to process daily. Shouldn’t we be searching for healthier alternatives?
I’ve started with my hair-care routine. Found a wonderful product called Rosemary and White Tea Shampoo and Conditioner sold by a local store called Sudbury Hill. Very impressed so far. My hair is shiny, clean and it smells great.
Now I have to find some more natural make-up products. This is bigger challenge in my community than I had anticipated for so I’ll be doing some more research.
Quick tips I’ve found for lowering your impact on the environment when doing your daily skin care routine are as follows:
- Use a facecloth instead of make-up removing wipes.
- Don’t use disposable razors.
- Take shorter showers.
- Make sure you finish using all of your product before buying new one’s.
- Use products with less chemicals in them
