Davina McCall is raving about these reusable makeup remover pads - and they only cost £9
Yes, reusable makeup remover pads are a THING
Reusable makeup remover pads are likely to be the least of your worries when building a sustainable beauty routine. You're probably too busy investigating the ingredients list or whether the packaging can indeed be recycled.
But what goes on must come off - all the better if it does so in an eco-friendly manner.
Every day we mindlessly sweep a cotton make-up pad over our faces to remove the day's make-up and grime.
But let's take a step back for a moment. Cotton is actually considered one of the worst fabrics for damaging the environment as production involves a huge amount of water and substantial use of pesticides, which causes pollution.
So what is the alternative?
Garnier Micellar Reusable Make-up Remover Eco Pads, £8.99 for three pads, Lookfantastic
In a bid to cut down on waste, Garnier has created its first reusable pads made of earth-friendly microfibre.
These pads last up to 1,000 washes, the idea being that you use them multiple times (with water or with your favourite micellar water) and then chuck them in with your normal laundry. Pretty impressive, no?
