REUSABLE REGIME
Save money while doing your bit for the planet with these long-lasting hero buys
DEEP CLEANING
As well as scrubbing away the day’s dirt and make-up without the need for soap, this micro-fibre cloth is machine washable so you can use it again and again. It’ll gently lift oil-based products and even tricky mascara to leave you fresh-faced, with minimal effort. MAGNITONE WIPE OUT £15
FOR PACK OF 2
MASKED HERO
Disposable sheet masks are brilliant for a hydrating complexion boost, but after just 15 minutes, they get thrown away – and most can’t be recycled. Although it looks a little creepy, this light, silicone mask is the answer to a waste-free pamper. Simply slather on your favourite serum or moisturiser and then place this non-adhesive layer on top. It locks in moisture and helps your product to absorb – and can then be rinsed down and stored.
NURSE JAMIE £25
QUICK CLEANSE
Use these smaller make-up remover pads to replace the endless packs of cotton wool you might get through while erasing stubborn eye products. Dual-sided and machine washable, these soft discs are made of the super-fine fibres that help to remove every trace of make-up without too much elbow work. You can use them with your usual cleanser or micellar water, but they will work brilliantly with just a little warm water too. FACE HALO £17
FOR PACK OF 3
FUZZ FIGHTER
As well as looking chic and being easy to use, this cleverly-designed metal razor cancels the need for disposable shaving products. It’s a subscription service, so you’ll get your handle to keep forever and, each month, you’ll get four replacement blades through the post. They also offer a free blade-recycling service, so nothing goes to waste or causes harm to the environment. FFS FROM £9 A MONTH
ESSENTIAL TOOL
Over a billion single-use cotton buds get used and binned in the UK each year, which often end up in a landfill. This sustainable swab swipes away eyeliner smears, touches up smudged lipstick and does all kinds of “little” make-up jobs that would usually be a done with a traditional bud. It can then be cleaned with warm soapy water, ready for next time. LASTSWAB £10
