What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term "Eco Friendly" Skincare? Is it Skincare made from plants or something else? Well eco friendly skincare means natural and environment friendly skincare. In recent years there has been a growing consciousness about the impact of skincare and beauty products on the planet. The old and traditional ways of usage of beauty products has caused a major impact in the environment. However, taking care of the skin while also being kind to the environment is very important. Brands have now started to make a shift from the traditional practices to new and more sustainable practices to reduce the impact. From ingredients to packaging, brands are now choosing more sustainable and eco-friendly practices. Let’s explore how we can make a positive impact on the environment as well as the skin.

1. Natural ingredients

What we often hear today is natural & organic ingredients. One of the first things that pops in our mind is to choose the right products with the natural and safe ingredients. Look for ingredients that are good for your skin as well as the environment. Products with excessive chemicals are not gentle for the skin and as well as the environment.

2. Keep the skincare simple

Simplify your skincare routine by choosing the products that are for your skin type and do the job well for the targeted skin concern. This not only saves money but also reduces the number of products and even the packaging material.

3. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

The 3R’s that are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle should be kept in mind the most while thinking of using eco friendly skincare products. Always choose products that come in recyclable and reusable packaging. Packaging like paper packaging, honeycomb paper, cardboard boxes etc are biodegradable and do not cause any harm to the environment. Whereas you can reuse glass containers in your day to day routine.

4. Choose sustainable brands

Choose brands which create paraben free products. Himaira creates all natural and paraben free products. The composition of ingredients in our skincare products are all natural and environment free. We prepare our skincare products in small batches to reduce the waste. While preparing the products in small batches, we don't compromise on the quality.

5. Cruelty free

Include cruelty free products in your skincare routine. cruelty free products are the products that are not tested on animals. You can check if the product is cruelty free or not by checking the ‘Leaping Bunny” sign on the packaging to ensure that the products are produced without harming the animals.

6. Cut down on extra skincare tools

Always try to cut down on all the fancy skincare tools available in the market. The best thing you can use is your hands. Use your finger to apply the skincare products. Use skincare tools which are safe for the planet like cotton. Cotton is biodegradable and does not cause any harm to the environment. The eco-friendly tools not only reduce waste but also take care of your skin gently.

By adopting eco-friendly practices and making more conscious choices, you can make a great change in the quality of the skin and also the environment. Nurturing the skin with the simple, natural and most gentle ingredients paves the way for a beautiful planet and a healthier skin.
