5 Reusable Beauty And Health Products To Invest In

Investing in timeless pieces for your wardrobe is a practice that is common but do you apply the same drill when investing in beauty products? Eliminating all avoidable waste is one step that we can all take towards a greener future and if you’re ready to jump on that bandwagon, we’ve got a couple of products that’ll help you get started.

It can be really tough to cut down on single-use plastic but by making these small swaps in your routine, you can help save some major buck in the long run and save Mother Nature. Two birds, one stone, what’s not to love?

Menstrual cup

Sirona Reusable Menstrual Cup, Rs 399

An average woman uses over 11,000 disposable menstrual products (pads, sanitary napkins, and the like) in her reproductive lifetime. These plastic-coated napkins take over 500 years to break down when disposed of correctly which means they’ll be around even if you aren’t! Take a step towards more sustainable and rash-free periods with a menstrual cup. These tampon and pad alternatives are made with medical-grade silicone, give up to 8 hours of protection, and can be used for 10 to 15 years.

Reusable make-up removing wipes

Simply Nam Makeup Remover Towel, Rs 990

Pro make-up artist Namrata Soni knows what your kit needs and that is a reusable make-up remover. This towel lasts for up to five years and only needs to be dampened with water to activate the fibres. It will remove every bit of make-up from your skin and cleanse it thoroughly without any tugging or pulling.

Reusable cotton buds

LastSwab Beauty Pointed Make-Up Cotton Swab, Rs 1000

If you’re always counting on Q-tips to correct any and all eye make-up mistakes, this cotton bud will be your new beauty BFF. Investing in this slightly pricey product will go a long way in cutting down on plastic. It is biodegradable and comes in a cute recycled cardboard box.

Shampoo bars

Juicy Chemistry Fenugreek, Brahmi and Plantain Shampoo Bar, Rs 600

Take a look around your bathroom and the number of products that come housed in plastic bottles might surprise you. If you’re looking for an easy way to cut that down, simply switch to shampoo bars. This particular one from Juicy Chemistry might seem a little pricey but it easily lasts for at least two months. Plus it contains fenugreek seed extract that boosts scalp health, brahmi that has natural soap-like cleansing properties, and plantain extracts that promote hair growth.

Reusable eye masks

Dieux Forever Eye Mask, Rs 1,860

Gone are the days of using one-time eye masks and patches. In 2021, we’re investing in reusable options that help us get max usage out of all our skincare products whilst avoiding waste generation. These silicone eye masks by Dieux have taken over social media because of how easy and practical they are to use. Simply dab your favourite eye cream or serum under your eyes and then apply the eye mask. After you’re done, just wash them with water, pat dry, and store them in their stainless steel case.
