Stop Skincare Overconsumption: How to Repurpose the Products You Already Own

It is undeniable that our overconsumption of skincare and cosmetic products is having a detrimental effect on our planet. With a recent focus on sustainable and eco-friendly skincare, it is important to remember that the most sustainable way to live is by using up the products you already own, before you purchase more. Skincare overconsumption can also confuse your skin, as the active ingredients in your skincare will be constantly changing. Using fewer products and finishing up products you have is likely to be a win-win for both your skin and the planet. According to Zero Waste Week research the beauty industry produces 120 billion units of plastic packaging waste annually. The microplastics resulting from cosmetic waste have devastating effects on the planet, and have made their way into landfills and oceans. A large amount of this waste is due to overconsumption, as people are buying more products than they can use. <a href="https://medium.com/myskincare/stop-skincare-overconsumption-how-to-repurpose-the-products-you-already-own-3d2898b65060">Website</a>
