Cómo practicar la Belleza Responsable
Todas deberíamos reconocer la importancia de las prácticas sostenibles, ya sea en términos de reciclaje, ahorro de energía o construcción y transporte ecológicos. Pero a veces olvidamos los hábitos diarios que pueden hacer la diferencia cuando se trata de respetar nuestros cuerpos y nuestro planeta Tierra, especialmente prestando más atención a nuestro estilo de vida y a los ingredientes que entran en nuestra rutina de belleza... ¡Sobre todo en esta temporada de regreso a clases!
Garnier quiere ayudarte a practicar la Belleza Responsable (Beauty Responsibly ™) compartiendo tu preocupación por la producción de residuos, la reutilización y el reciclaje de los envases y el uso de productos con ingredientes derivados naturalmente siempre que sea posible. ¡A continuación te explicamos cómo realzar tu belleza al máximo para el regreso a clases!
Las bases de una belleza más ecológica
Sustainable beauty is about action, especially because there’s a planet and society to consider. That’s why from skin care to hair care, Garnier is here to help change the mindfulness of impact on the environment – and they need your help, the aid of young women (and men!) everywhere, to spread the word!
Products to Explore
Do your skin care and hair care routines have recyclable packaging? Do the formulas include naturally derived ingredients? (ie Garnier consider an ingredient to be naturally-derived if it is unchanged from its natural state or has undergone processing, yet still retains greater than 50% of its molecular structure from its original natural source.) If not, here are a few Garnier products to start with to help make the change, overhaul your beauty cabinet, and commit to going green.
Whole Blends Shampoo Bar
Curious about solid shampoos? Our innovative bars cleanse and lather like a liquid shampoo but without the plastic packaging. Instead, they come in a 100% recylable cardboard box that's certfied by the Forest Stewardship Council. Their formulas are also 94% plant-based, 97% bio-degradable, and free of silicones, preservatives, soap, and dyes!
Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1
Micellar water cleanses AND removes makeup (yes, even waterproof!) by capturing and lifting away debris on the skin’s surface with its micellar technology. It’s often used by beauty-obsessives and makeup artists for the sheer cleansing power and because it is gentle on your skin - which means it’s friendly for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The multi-tasking powers of this product mean you can use just one product to remove makeup, cleanse, and soothe without needing to use multiple products on your skin. Feel good about the skincare cleanser you’re using this year!
Soothing Facial Mist with Rose Water
With 99% naturally-derived ingredients, this facial mist is soothing for your skin. Remember, Garnier considers an ingredient naturally-derived if it is unchanged from its natural state or has undergone processing yet still retains greater than 50% of its molecular structure from its original natural source. Rose water works to soothe (perfect for back-to-school season when you’re skin is recovering from the summer heat!), while also hydrating for the ultimate refresh. Spritz the most on during AM, PM, or really just whenever your skin needs a refreshing boost.
Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo & Conditioner and Leave in Cream
If you’re looking for a new staple in your shower, this shampoo and conditioner set are a winning combination. Made with Argan Oil from Morocco, this holy-grail pair keeps your hair smooth for long-lasting frizz control and shine when followed by the Sleek & Shine leave-in cream. Keeping hair smooth and frizz at bay – just remember to recycle the caps or reuse the bottles after!
Fructis Style Smooth Blow Dry Anti-Frizz Cream
Want a salon-worthy blowout at home? This paraben-free formula with fairly and sustainably sourced Argan Oil from Morocco – can help you get an easy blowout that is smooth and long-lasting. Just apply to damp hair before a blow dry to help protect against heat damage and achieve shiny results.
Whole Blends Honey Treasures Hair Care System
Looking to tap into the power of no-nasty ingredients? This paraben free formula blend is truly a *treasure* for helping to restore the health and natural beauty of hair with every use. Whole Blends Honey Treasures is crafted as a signature blend of select ingredients combined with sensorial fragrances chosen to care for hair. These select ingredients and unique fragrances are blended into each of the nurturing and gentle formulas. The bottle is also made of recyclable PET plastic with 30% Post-Consumer Recycled waste, so you can give a little extra care to your hair and the world around you.
Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme
Switch up your color for back-to-school with a gorgeous Nutrisse shade (the medium gold brown #53 is lovely, btw). Nutrisse Nourising Color Creme is infused with avocado, olive and shea oils leaving your hair feeling silky and soft. This color is designed to nourish while tinting your shade, so your hair can look shiny and moisturized all year-round.
Are you feeling motivated to go green yet?! Same! After you move into your dorm or apartment, take stock of your bathroom cabinet and shower to come up with a disposal plan. If you want to flex your DIY skills while also promoting sustainable beauty, craft a cute and creative recycling bin that you and your roommates can use to keep recyclables or store your reusable beauty empties. If a bottle is just too adorable to part with, upcycle pots and tubs into little plant pots for herbs, succulents, or cactuses.
