When it comes to making my beauty routine more sustainable, as well as ensuring the products I use are recyclable or made from recycled materials, cutting out the likes of ear buds and cotton wool pads, brands such as Garnier have released some reusable products and the latest addition to my stash is the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Reusable Eco Pads.
In a bid to reduce daily wastage, Garnier has created its first eco-friendly micro-fibre pads which are made from 100% polyester. These pads are suitable for use on the face, eyes and lips and are ultra soft to the touch.
The idea of these pads is that they can be used to wipe the day away from your face using just water, though the brand highly recommends pairing it up with your favourite micellar water to break down make-up and every day dirt. With one side that is white and fluffy and the other which is pink and less fluffy, but soft on the skin.
To use these Eco Pads, it is recommended that you thoroughly wash them with soap and water before using them for the first time and then allow them to air dry. When using, if you need to use more than one, then you can, especially as there is three in each box. I use the pink side to remove the majority of what is left on my skin.
These Eco Pads have been designed to be used for up to 1000 uses and as mentioned, as with the first wash, you should ideally hand wash them with soap and water after every use and then for a deeper cleaning action put it in the washing machine with your laundry once a week, laying them flat to dry.
A pack of three of these Garnier SkinActive Micellar Reusable Eco Pads can be found priced around £8 from Boots* and Lookfantastic*, but if you are an Amazon shopper, they are currently on offer for just £4.50*
