In the same vein as our previous article on ethical consumption, discover all our easy-to-make homemade tips for improving your consumption and thus intelligently increasing your purchasing power. Indeed, by adopting certain daily tips and consuming more natural, healthier, and reusable products, you will be able to save more easily.
-
Choose solid soaps for washing your hair
Our first tip is to favor the use of solid shampoos over industrial shampoos because they are more economical, more durable, more ecological, and more natural. Indeed, our solid shampoo is equivalent to two to three bottles of liquid shampoo. They are generally handmade and are just as, if not more, protective and moisturizing for your hair fiber. This product improves your consumption while preventing you from overspending on shampoos and conditioners available in supermarkets.

Use natural / washable and reusable makeup removers
Generally, when we talk about makeup removal, we immediately think of industrial wipes, micellar water, or even makeup remover cream, but we rarely or never think of natural products. Indeed, many alternatives are available to help you remove makeup in a more eco-friendly way. First, you can opt for reusable makeup remover pads or even reusable makeup remover towels. Moreover, if you're not a fan of these types of techniques, you can always opt for coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil (preferably organic) to remove your makeup quickly, effectively, and healthily. If you don't like the idea of oil on your face, you can also use makeup removers made from natural ingredients.

Eliminate industrial deodorants and favor natural deodorants
It is well known that industrial deodorants are among the most harmful cosmetic products for our skin because they are full of endocrine disruptors. Therefore, nothing beats natural deodorants with alum stone, for example. They will fight against unpleasant underarm odors while providing a protective barrier against perspiration. Moreover, if you don't like deodorants in general or doubt the effectiveness of alum stone, you can always opt for anti-perspiration pads to limit the formation of stains and at the same time eliminate bad odors.

Opt for natural homemade skincare
In the same vein as the previous point, making your own natural skincare and scrubs is much more effective and much healthier than the skincare and masks found in supermarkets. To learn all about homemade skincare, discover all our recipes and their benefits, right here!

Use washable and reusable menstrual products
Ladies, only you know how exorbitant the cost of menstrual products can be. Whether it's tampons or classic pads, menstrual products are increasingly expensive and not necessarily good for your health.

Among the alternatives, we find menstrual panties, cups, and washable and reusable sanitary pads.

To go further
Finally, in addition to all the small actions mentioned above, you can also use reusable cotton swabs, which, in addition to being good for the planet, are also hygienic because they will clean the ears optimally and effectively.
