Even the smartest among us are still making mistakes. The good news? They're easy fixes. Let's watch out for these eco-beauty errors.
1. We're still buying makeup and skincare products packaged with non-recyclable materials. As handy as plastic jars are, glass is easier to re-cycle.
If you must use plastic (glass bottles falling on a tiled bathroom floor are dangerous), become familiar with the recycling number system. Containers which are marked 1 or 2 are easier to recycle than those numbered from 3 to 7. Find the number on the bottom of the jar, next to or inside the triangle recycle logo. Sometimes the information is pressed into the plastic instead of printed, so you might need a bright light and your glasses.
If you can't find the number on the product or the box it comes in, at least look for the circular arrow logo, which indicates a recyclable material. Still can't find it? Just email the company and ask, by going to the company's website and looking for a "contact us" button.
2. Let's bring our eco-awareness to work with us. It's not just in the home that we can make a difference. Less waste can also help your company's bottom line.
3. Before buying a new makeup or body lotion, remember to run questionable ingredients through your search engine to check for toxicity. Everything you put on you or your children's skin, including hair products, can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
4. Remember to bring a re-usable shopping bag to the store with you. Every time. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. It can be as simple as re-using a plastic or paper bag, or dusting off an unused tote.
5. Make a list and buy all cosmetics, shoes and clothes in one trip, instead of many.
6. Companies are marketing disposable beauty aids - and we're still buying them. We don't need disposable makeup remover cloths when a washcloth will do just as well. We can even cut back on cotton swabs and facial tissue, using foam makeup wedges instead.
7. When shopping for new makeup, remember to bring with you a list of green cosmetics companies.
