(ARA) – As you lay out on the beach soaking in some sunshine, or relax in the green grass in your backyard, you’re reminded just how important it is to protect the environment. There are small steps you can take to create big change and it can be as simple as the beauty products you buy.
Here are some nature-friendly ways to help keep you and the environment protected:
Skin is in
After a long winter, your skin is in need of some serious nourishment to restore its moisture. You should look for products that have natural or organic ingredients in them to help revitalize skin. Try the Nutriganics natural skin care collection by The Body Shop. The range provides a certified organic alternative to anti-aging products and helps smooth skin in as little as four weeks. Even better, many of the ingredients are sourced through the company’s unique Community Trade program which benefits more than 25,000 people in the world’s poorest countries.
Fresh scent
Here’s a fresh, sensuous scent you can’t help but “love.” Love, Etc …” not only is a floral union of jasmine with indulgent notes of vanilla and sandalwood, but it also happens to be organic and fairly traded. Created by one of the world’s finest noses – perfumer Dominique Ropion – the fragrance comes in a 100 percent recyclable glass bottle contained in a box created from Forest Stewardship Council material. So spritz away knowing you are helping to protect the planet one fragrance pump at a time.
Eco-chic style
In order to look naturally great all the time, you need a stylish bag to carry your products in. With so many recycled bags and totes to choose from, pick different ones to suite your mood.
