Five Sustainable Swaps I’ve Made This Year




Washable cotton pads

I use several cotton pads a day for my skin routine. In the morning, I wipe my face down with witch hazel on a cotton pad and at night, cotton pads and micellar water remove makeup and grime before I go in with a cleanser.

About a month ago, I bought washable cotton pads and I have now completely switched over to using them for my skin routine. I do still use disposable cotton pads to remove nail polish; I’m afraid it would never come off of the washable ones. I prefer the way the washable pads feel on my face, and they’re also much more sturdy than the disposable rounds — the texture is closer to a washcloth than a cotton ball. The best part is, the pack I bought comes with a drawstring mesh bag so you can toss them in with your laundry or handwash them in the sink when you’re running low.
