Green Beauty Tools

I’ve been trying to incorporate more reusable beauty tools and products that come in recyclable packaging and containers.

Now that we are at a point where we’ve greatly minimized our waste, I want to share some of my favorites. I’d love to hear what you use already and what you’d like to swap out in your routine!

My posts may also contain affiliate links where I earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. This is done at no extra cost to you.

These tools work with all brands including the Limelife by Alcone products I use, and they can be found on amazon.

Most recent swap:

Finally ditching bacteria harboring loofahs for something that’s going to outlast a loofah. I hate replacing traditional loofahs over and over, so much waste! Our family is finally switching to silicone loofahs.

Here are some swaps we have made long-term and are very happy with.

Ditch the makeup wipes!

I switched to using MakeOff makeup remover spray, I love that it’s oil-free (so it’s safe to use with lash extensions and reusable faux mink eyelash strips) and melts off all my makeup, including waterproof Enduring Eyeliner pencil! limelifebyalcone.com/scaebeauty

♻️ Did you know? You can save your empty LimeLife by Alcone product containers and send them (at no cost to you!) to TerraCycle for recycling?

Use with:

Reusable makeup pads DAMPEN and wring out a makeup pad the reusable alternative to cotton rounds, SPRAY makeup remover on it and WIPE makeup away. Over time, you’ll save so much by not throwing away countless single-use cotton rounds.

Or, invest in some reusable makeup towels. Like the makeup pads linked above, these makeup towels have a makeup removing side and a gentle exfoliating side!

♻️ Did you know? You can order the Makeup Eraser package-free directly from their website AND save money? You’re being greener by opting to skip the package and they pass the cost savings on to you!

Honorable Mention:

Marshmallow Whip Maker – Cleanser fluffer – This is a plastic item, but it doubles the life of a bottle of Dream Clean Cleanser by whipping a single drop into a luxurious foamy lather. This works with most brands of cleanser that suds up – this will NOT work with creamy cleansers like Quench Cleanse, sorry! It’s a big money saver and you’ll also go through less plastic material by extending the length of time between refills. The best part is this gadget is only 7 buckeroos.

By making simple swaps in our daily routine, we can make a big impact in reducing waste overall. Share what you’ve swapped in your beauty routine and everyday life!
