Plastic-free July is in full swing (have you checked out our Insta challenge<\/a>?!) and we’re currently in the process of green-ifying every aspect of our lives \u2014 rethinking shopping habits, opting for a plastic-free pantry, DIY-ing cleaning products and upcycling household objects. And given our obsession with skincare, we thought we’d turn our attention to cleaning up our beauty habits.<\/p>\n

The beauty industry<\/a> is currently a US$532 billion business, set to exceed $800 billion by 2025. And between packaging, production, wastage and certain unethical ingredients (we’re looking at you, palm oil), the industry is notorious for its negative ecological impact.<\/p>\n

With growing concerns around climate change<\/a> and consumer awareness, sustainability has solidified its place at the forefront of everyone\u2019s mind.\u00a0But how can we, as consumers, ensure that our daily routines are both environmentally and economically sustainable?<\/p>\n

Well, there\u2019s more than just one way to approach sustainable beauty with an eco focus. Consider this your 10-step guide to a sustainable beauty routine; minimising your environmental impact and maximising your budget and beauty goals.<\/p>\n

Streamline your skincare routine<\/h2>\n

When it comes to skincare, less is always more. A carefully curated daily routine is not only more effective in treating your skin concerns but will also save you from splurging unnecessarily on expensive serums and oils. Ditch the 10-step mindset, and invest in a good cleanser, exfoliator, moisturiser and SPF. You can then add on an active serum or peel to target specific issues (think pigmentation and uneven texture), but don\u2019t fall into the trap of dropping $150 on a serum that went viral after a celeb raved about it on Instagram. Chances are, a hard-working $20 product from brands like The Inkey List, The Ordinary or\u00a0Ingredients<\/a>\u00a0(the new kid on the natural beauty block) will be just as effective.<\/p>\n
