Sustainable alternatives that help you look and feel great
We can reduce how often we purchase the daily grooming essentials used on high rotation in our bathrooms by choosing smart alternatives to the single use items that we use to look and feel our best. Making these small changes in the bathroom to sustainable options is one step closer towards reducing the endless mass consumption of products that end up in landfill, our waterways and oceans.
For me making a switch to more sustainable consumables has also created a more meaningful connection to what are now my daily self-care rituals. Using not only sustainable alternatives but also beautiful looking products that take pride of place in my bathroom. Brands such as SHHOWERCAP and Well Kept are leading the way with their line of sustainable bathroom essentials and self-care products that once you start using, you will never look back.
Redefining the traditional plastic shower cap, ground-breaking New York based brand SHHHOWERCAP has made the shower cap a sustainable must have that not only keeps your blow dry perfect but looks chic and fashionable!
Why switch?
The Basilica Shower Cap
The sea sponge is an eco-friendly, all natural, renewable resource – the perfect replacement to your plastic loofah. They grow on the bottom of our oceans, seas, and rivers and possess remarkable powers of regeneration. Used for thousands of years for bathing, WELL KEPT sea sponges are carefully harvested, cut by hand by specialist divers to ensure that the base of the sponge remains intact. The sponge then re-grows back to its original form within 3-5 years. Studies show that areas harvested actually increase the population density of sponges.
For bath and body, wool cut sponges are the best as they are soft, larger and will last the longest. Whereas silk cut sponges are even softer and are great for facial cleansing and makeup removal.
Natural sea sponges are very good for all types of skin, including sensitive skin. They contain minerals such as potassium, zinc, iron, sodium, and magnesium. They also gently exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells. The natural sea sponge contains a natural enzyme that blocks the growth of bacteria. Being anti-bacterial inhibits the odours and mildew associated with artificial sponges.
More durable than artificial sponges, if cared for well, natural sea sponges can last for months, even years. They are tough and durable while being gentle on the skin. And the best part of all – being a natural product they are biodegradable, so when you are done using it you can pop it in your compost.
The first time I used a single blade razor I will admit, I was a little intimidated and nervous. But what was I worried about? The result was simply the closest and rash free shave my underarms and legs had ever experienced!
I took note of the tips the WELL KEPT team shared with me in their how to guide on shaving with a safety razor and I will never look back.
So why the fuss?
Pro Tip: the best way to prep your skin for an easier and more seamless shave is to soften the hair follicles by immersing yourself in warm water for a few minutes before you shave. Use a natural soap or shaving oil to moisturise and protect the skin.
