Happy Earth Day. To mark this occasion – a time to celebrate environmental protection –
WH challenged beauty writer Gabrielle Dyer to overhaul her entire beauty routine, from skin to haircare and everything in between, for sustainable swaps. Here's how it went.
Unsurprisingly, given my day job as a beauty writer, my bathroom shelf and make-up bag are overflowing with wonders. Sleek-looking serums, luxurious lipsticks and jewel-encrusted palettes. They make for aesthetically pleasing photos, but, on closer inspection, they’re looking less and less attractive.
Why? Their eco credentials – or lack thereof. So, in search of a happy middle ground, I transformed my routine with sustainability in mind – to road-test products that focus on eco-friendly packaging, ethical manufacturing processes and sustainably sourced ingredients, as well as fair trade policies for workers and farmers.
