Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

This week's tip: If you use cotton wool balls or pads on a daily basis to cleanse, tone, moisturise or remove make up you might like to consider buying organic even better or try eco friendly washable cleansing pads as a sustainable alternative. This all helps in our efforts to reduce the amount of waste we send to our landfill sites each week and they can be washed and reused many times which saves on money too.
