4 Ways to Green Your Beauty Routine

In honor of Earth Day, I thought I would mention a few easy ways to make your beauty routine a little more eco-friendly.  I know we all have products that we love and may never change but it’s always nice to think about ways to broaden our horizons a bit, right?

Why not try Aveeno‘s new Pure Renewal 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner?  Not only will you benefit from the “ACTIVE NATURALS® Balancing Seaweed Extract, naturally derived cleanser, and sulfate-free formula”, you can cut down on waste and recycling by using one product.  I’m excited to try this new line myself!

 

You could incorporate some Dr. Hauschka skincare into your life as their products are filled with some of the most natural ingredients like sweet almond meal for exfoliation calendula extract for calming.  From Dr. Hauschka.com:  “Everything we do is in the interest of fostering well-being in the world, from our ecologically sound methods of growing and sourcing ingredients to our one-of-a-kind manufacturing processes and international fair trade initiatives.”  Last year I hosted a Radiant You Party with Dr. Hauschka’s products and my sisters and I had the best time!  You can still sign up here to do your own party with COMPLIMENTARY products from Dr. Hauschka!

Add some glorious color to your life with pigments from Alima Pure that are vegan and cruelty-free.  I’ve had the opportunity to try these and love the versatility.  The Nourishing Lipbalms were a hit with me, too.  With a vast selection of shades, free samples, and a wonderful jar return program, Alima Pure is a company I can feel good about recommending!

The new Stress-Fix line from Aveda uses the power of pure essential oils with amazing ingredients like sunflower seed oil, shea butter, and an aroma with essence of lavender to help you de-stress.  The trio of Soaking Salts, Body Lotion, and Stress-Fix Concentrate combine to take all your cares away with nature’s touch.  Review coming soon!

Are you adding any products with more natural elements?  I’d love to know some of your favorite products that could fit into the eco-friendly category!  Leave a comment and give me some recommendations!

    LOVE Aveda & Aveeno! 🙂 (However I’ve been slow in getting off my butt and actually getting around to review some of their stuff though – I love Aveeno’s shower gel in particular and have used it for some time.) Haven’t heard of the other brands, I’ll have to check them out. 🙂

      So funny! I am in love with both brands, everything I have tried has just been stellar. Aveeno is a brand we use for the whole family, too. Which shower gel are you using?
