If you’re like me, you have more skincare and makeup products than you know what to do with! After all, there are only so many lipsticks you can use in one day.
And what about that intense face mask that you splurged on but haven’t found the time to use yet? Don’t worry, I’ve been there, and I’ve done that. We can all get a little carried away with our beauty and skincare “closets” sometimes.
But the question is, at what point is it too much? And at what point is it time to make a change? Well, my lovely ladies, I like to say that there’s no time like the present! Besides, it’s not too late to start the year off on the right foot, is it?
I know, I know, sometimes you’ve got so many beauty products that the task of sorting them (or getting rid of some) is a daunting one, but that’s why I’m here! I’ve rounded up some tips for saving time, money, and space on skincare so that you can take your favorite ideas and apply them to your own lifestyle. Let’s be honest, who couldn’t use an extra five minutes in the morning? Or an extra $5 in the bank? Are you in?
Here’s where we’ll start:
- What does sustainability mean for you?
- Reusing with style
- Subscribe to a low-waste skincare routine
- DIY — or with a friend or two!
- Travel-friendly time (and $) savers
Ready? Set? Go!
Let’s Talk About Lingo — What Does Sustainability Mean for You?
We all hear the phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle” quite frequently, and we all have heard about “sustainability,” but sometimes it can be tough to sit down and figure out how to make it work for our own lifestyles. Well, that’s what I’m here to help you with!
To break it down, living sustainably means reducing harm to the environment and potentially even reversing some harm that’s already been caused. Living sustainably can also mean that you’re living a life in harmony with nature. That being said, there’s no “official” term for how to live sustainably, and any step (even a baby step) goes a long way!
Reusing with Style!
Want to know about some of my favorite quick-hitters when it comes to reducing? Multi-use products! By using one product in tons of ways, you not only save money, but you also save space and minimize waste — that’s a trifecta! And when you buy a new product that doesn’t do wonders for you? Try to find another use for it, or pass it on to a friend who might love it more. For example, let’s say you purchased a new conditioner that isn’t doing the detangling action you hoped. Why not use it as a shaving cream instead? Read more
