Tip #57 Use reusable makeup remover pads

Each of us has their own everyday routines. For many women, skincare is essential to their evening routine. However, skin care is not as sustainable as we would wish and has its own dark spots.

Unless you’re exclusively using your fingers to apply products, chances are you toss a few of the cotton pieces in the trash every single day. Cotton balls, pads and rounds are a huge part of our skincare routines, but they create a lot of waste.

Removing cotton pads from your skincare routine is essential if you want to minimise the impact your beauty routine has on our planet.

Regular cotton pads don't biodegrade due to the bleaching and mixing processes used to create them. The beauty industry has progressed so much now, there’s no need for cotton! Plus, by removing cotton pads from your routine, you're also reducing the amount of plastic packaging waste you produce, which is an added bonus (source).

Reusable cotton pads are a sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative for cleansing and toning that can be washed and reused.
