Usually when I think about eco-friendly beauty, I immediately think of all the natural and organic products. And while they certainly have their advantages for both you and the environment, I thought of a few other ways to make your morning routine a little more green.

Reuse: Stop using cotton balls to remove your makeup. Instead, designate one face cloth to live with mascara stains forever.

If you drop your blush, bronzer or eye shadow on the floor and it crumbles to pieces in the container, never fear—you can finish the crush job, put it in a little reusable pot and keep it in your makeup bag.

Reduce: Buy and use fewer products—do you really need eye shadow in every color of the rainbow and doesn’t that complex cocktail of hair products just weigh down your hair?

Cut down on your shower time to save water and save your skin from extra drying.

And let your hair air dry 80% before you turn on the blower—besides saving power, you’ll save your hair from unnecessary damage.

Recycle: Don’t forget to recycle all of your old shampoo, lotion and soap containers and try to buy products made from recycled materials like Recycline razors (made from yogurt containers).
