Want A More Natural Beauty Routine? Here Are 6 Easy Changes You Can Make

By Kate Marin

We’ve all had a tuned-in friend tell us they’re making the switch to a more natural beauty routine. Though the change might seem ambitious (we know how long it takes to curate your go-to products, after all), the benefits (like living more sustainably and being more conscious of what you’re putting on your body) are absolutely worth it.

There actually is a simple — and affordable — way to transition to a cleaner beauty routine. In collaboration with Cotton, we’re sharing six subtle changes to your routine that can actually make a major difference. If everyone made just a few simple swaps, we’d be making significant strides toward protecting our planet (and ourselves, too). From limiting usage of chemical-laden products to cutting down on water waste, here are a few easy changes you can make now.

Even if we have the time, daily hair washing can strip our strands of healthy oils. A shower cap is our trusted sidekick because it’s the only way we can ensure our blowout stays put while we rinse off. This one’s terrycloth lining absorbs shower steam, and a cotton-lined elastic grip ensures the fit is secure. Less hair washing means less time under the shower head — and that’s a win for the environment, and your hair.
