Sustainable Beauty is an inspirational and practical guide to living
a more eco-conscious lifestyle and maintaining a low-waste beauty
routine.
Vegan, cruelty-free, 'clean', organic, non-GM, zero-waste, not to
mention palm oil, silicones and micro-plastics - where do you start when
it comes to creating a sustainable beauty routine? There are
thousands of products claiming to be better for the environment and your
skin, but they also come with a hefty price tag.
So what can we actually do to make a difference? This book provides
the small steps everyone can take to make a big difference at home.
Justine Jenkins, an holistic and sustainable make-up artist &
consultant, guides you through - breaking down the issues and explaining
how we can mitigate them at home.
With easy tutorials to follow - from simplifying your beauty routine
and product label literacy through to recipes for DIY hydrating serums
and superfood face masks - Jenkins shows you how small changes in habit
can result in a more sustainable beauty routine that doesn't break the
bank.
