The bathroom is an excellent starting point for your journey towards reducing single-use plastic. We rely on many disposable plastic items, such as shampoo, razors, and makeup wipes, in our daily routines. I'm here to share 7 plastic-free tips with you (aside from our products, 😉). Let's make sustainability easy and friendly for you in your personal care routine.
1. Use Up What You Have and Refill: Before diving headfirst into eco-friendly products, let's be mindful of what we already own. Finish up those plastic-based products stashed away in your cabinets, and when they run out, consider switching to refillable options. Using what you have first ensures nothing goes to waste, and you'll be making a positive impact from the get-go.
2. Pamper Yourself with DIY Facial Care: Use your creativity during bathroom spa sessions by crafting DIY face masks and scrubs. Gather natural ingredients like oats, honey, and yogurt for a chemical-free, skin-loving experience. Your skin will thank you, and the added bonus is you'll reduce plastic waste by skipping store-bought products.
3. Makeup Wipes: Say good-bye to single-use makeup wipes! You don't need them to care for your skin. Instead, choose reusable alternatives like washable cotton rounds. These gentle options effectively remove makeup and impurities while being kind to the planet and your wallet.Â
4. Safety Razors: Ready for a smoother, eco-friendly shave? Swap out those disposable plastic razors for safety razors with replaceable metal blades. Not only do they give you a closer shave, but they also significantly reduce plastic waste in landfills and oceans.Â
5. Menstrual Cups or Cloth Pads:
Ladies, there's a greener way to manage your periods! Menstrual cups or cloth pads are excellent alternatives to disposable plastic-based products. Once you get used, they're comfortable, cost-effective, and help minimize plastic waste in the environment.Â
6. Solid shampoo Bars:
Toss those plastic-packaged shampoo bottles and try solid shampoo bars. These compact, plastic-free bars come in various formulations, catered to different hair types. They not only reduce plastic usage but are also perfect for travel, as they won't spill or take up much space in your bag.
7. Natural Cleaning Solutions:
Keep your bathroom spick and span without using plastic-packaged cleaning products. Create your own eco-friendly cleaning solutions using simple ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. These concoctions are tough on grime but gentle on the planet.
