It’s easy being GREEN
Here’s to the eco-friendly skin and make-up heroes, because beauty needn’t cost the Earth!
One-pot wonder
Raww Cosmetics Superfood Face Tints, $32.99, are pocket-sized powerhouses that impart natural soft colour to lips, cheeks and eyes anywhere, anytime – with nourishing benefits. Clean, easy and fun, the certified cruelty-free formula features a blend of vegan superfoods to condition skin.
Hey, honey
Antipodes Aura Mānuka Honey Mask, $40, uses wild-sourced mānuka honey to lock moisture into the skin, which helps to keep it feeling fresh and staying blemishfree. It’s suited to most skin types, but especially blemish-prone.
Deodorant with a difference
Ultrella Natural Deodorant, $17.99, contains unique ingredient IBR-Snowflake®, which is clinically proven to reduce perspiration by 36 percent. It is also made with prebiotics to support healthy armpit bacteria with zero nasties.
Water free
Dust & Glow Powder Based Detox Cleanser & Mask, $39.99, is a 100 percent plantbased cleansing powder activated by the water in your shower. Formulated with charcoal, kaolin and a pre- and probiotic complex to gently wash, rebalance and improve skin’s radiance, it is a great option for oily, combination and problematic skin.
Multitasking marvel
Tailor Skincare Balm, $15, is a little magic stick containing jojoba oil to moisturise lips and skin, with vitamin E and coconut oil to nourish and protect. Use it on cuticles, and even as a glossy skin and eyelid highlighter with zero chance of clogging pores.
Lush lashes
Kosas The Big Clean Longwear Volumizing + Lash Care Mascara, $42, is a gorgeous green beauty-approved mascara for instantly big, fluffy lashes. Get maximum volume, length, separation and curl with the cleanest of ingredients.
Earth-friendly beauty tip
Repurpose beauty packaging where you can. Bigger jars and empty candle vessels are perfect to keep your make-up brushes tidy and upright, or create your own travel minis by keeping clean empties of smaller products on hand for trips away. Often half the size or less, they will most definitely come in handy when travelling internationally and allow plenty of space in your luggage for extra shopping!
Reveal and renew
Natio Ageless Skin Renewal Exfoliator, $20.99, uses pure plant extracts and natural exfoliators to gently buff away and dissolve dull surface cells to reveal brighter, smoother, more refined skin.
Prep and prime
New Zealand-made and a dream under make-up, Aleph Beauty Serum/ Primer, $72, is a highly concentrated formula that delivers its potent active ingredients to deeper levels of the skin than a cream or a lotion. It nourishes, protects, repairs and prepares your skin all at once.
Bright eyes
Certified natural, Trilogy Vitamin C Revitalising Eye
Gel, $39.99, is a bestseller for good reason – it refreshes, hydrates and brightens the delicate skin around the eyes, cooling as it goes.
Feed the skin
Weleda has expanded its award-winning Skin Food range with a brand-new Body Lotion, $29.99, for an all-over moisture boost. Rich in active ingredients and intensely hydrating, the quenching formula is loved by models and make-up artists around the globe.
