A Guide To Making The Switch To Plastic Free Beauty
Written by Lucy Kebbell, Founder of sustainable fashion and lifestyle platform The Vendeur and The WIP.
When you know that 11 tonnes of plastic is predicted to end up in oceans each year, and that the beauty industry produces around 120 billion units of packaging globally each year, it’s time to pause.
If you are honest with yourself, is your skincare and beauty buying habit contributing to our plastic waste problem? If the answer is yes, you’re certainly not alone. However, the good news is that you can do something about it today.
Going plastic free may seem daunting at first, and like a lot of hard work. However once you get going, I promise you will become a little bit addicted to sourcing alternative products. Here are a few tips for making the switch. Remember, start slow, be sustainable. It’s important the changes you make are good for you and your pocket, as well as the environment otherwise you just won’t keep it up.
1. Switch to Plastic Free Brands
2. Choose Refillables
Refilling your products is arguably the best way to go as you are drastically cutting down your packaging consumption. This is especially easy if you are a slave to that one perfect shade of lipstick. ZAO have long been the go to refillable cosmetics brand, allowing you to reuse their already eco friendly bamboo packaging to its fullest extent. More beauty brands are catching up so look out for refills of your favourite products.
3. Natural Hairbrushes
Extend your thinking to accessories like brushes and combs too. Wooden and bamboo options are abundant and much more beautiful on your table than their plastic counterparts. Unlike regular plastic hair brushes, bamboo brush pins won’t damage your hair. Plus, by brushing once a day, you’ll be helping the oils in your hair to keep your scalp and lengths in beautiful condition.
4. Solid Soap Bars
Soap and shampoo bars offer possibly the best solution for plastic free living. Because they are solid and not liquid, easy to recycle and compostable packaging options like cardboard are becoming the norm. Choose from elegant shampoo bars, to Wild Sage & Co’s mini soap set and pouch in a reusable tin. It’s the perfect alternative to travel minis.
5. Reusable cloths
Many of us are now savvy to the issue with disposable make up removal wipes. Whether you flush them or drop them in the bin, they simply won’t break down to be anything useful or nutrient rich for the environment they ultimately end up in. Add to that the issue with bleached, chemical covered cotton wool pads and you might find yourself at a loss as to how to remove your make up. Never fear, reusable face clothes and wipes are here to save the day. Not only will you no longer be contributing to landfill, but you’ll also be lessening the need for virgin cotton or more wet wipes to be created, which all helps to lower our collective carbon footprint.

I’m willing to talk about my experience investing in bitcoin. You can, however, get your stolen bitcoins back.

When I contact Recovery Nerds, my excitement was once more total. Get in touch with Recovery Nerds as soon as possible.

I was so impatient to carry out some necessary research about crypto training and investing buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 65,000 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 240,000 GBP within a couple of weeks.
But I didn’t realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and notice my account suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all cost, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recover my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online research, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency funds with help of wzardgarryspeedhack@gmail.com.
So I file a report and they were able to help me get back all my lost funds within 24hrs.Am indebted to them, apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium to recommend anybody who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary option forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out to
