Plastic Free Skincare Swaps

7/19/2021

One of the biggest areas I've found that is hard to go plastic-free, especially without breaking the bank, is skincare! While there are a lot of options, many of them are really expensive so I wanted to highlight some of my favorite plastic free skincare swaps. 

1. Face Soap: 
This Cerave Facial Wash Bar is a game changer for me. This is equivalent to a liquid soap I would have used prior to going zero waste but in bar form. Not to mention it's way cheaper than buying the liquid ($5.99 at Target compared to its $10.99 liquid counterpart)! I bought this bar back in February and I still don't think I've used even a third of it to be honest. This was definitely one of the best zero waste swaps I've made for skincare!​

2. Rosehip Oil:
While it's very easy to find essential oils in glass over plastic I do use rosehip oil on my face every night and I just love that I can find it just about anywhere in glass from Amazon to Ulta to even Imperfect Foods for under $10!

3. Face Masks:
One of my favorite things about being zero waste has been making my own face masks! I love using egg whites as a face mask when I only need egg yolks for a meal, and they really help tighten your pores too. I also love using Aloe Vera as a zero waste face mask or honey and some brown sugar to exfoliate. Check out my blog post on zero waste face masks. 

4. Cotton Pads:
So I know that the product itself isn't plastic to begin with but before going zero waste I was buying cotton pads in plastic bags every few months! Now I use reusable cotton pads from Monsters by Marley and I love them! I pop them in a mesh bag in the wash and then lay on a table to air dry.

I still have a lot of skincare that I'm working through before I buy replacements but when I do here's my list of what I'll be buying for anyone curious!

Raw Elements SPF

Moisturizer - Imperfect Foods Jojoba Facial Cream

Salicylic Acid BHA Exfoliant
