We know that 2018 is going to be a HUGE year in sustainable beauty. There has already been a huge influx of organic, sustainable products and they keep getting better and better all the time.

If you haven’t already been thinking about it, now’s the time to put more sustainability into your beauty routine. Not only is it healthier for your skin and body, but it’s so much better for the environment. You can feel beautiful in more ways than one.

Start With Your Body

Actually, you can start where you want but if you’re looking for guidance, start with your body. Your skin absorbs what you put on it so doesn’t it make sense to put only natural products on the majority (or ALL) of it? The skin on your arms, legs, chest, back, etc., take up a lot of real estate on your body so you’re covering the most area.

Luckily, there are several natural, sustainable body products available now but we recommend JUSU for the gentle moisturizing yet effective benefits it offers. Plus the amazing smells they have… wow! Don’t worry though, if smells aren’t your thing, they also offer unscented.

JUSU offers soaps, moisturizers, lip balms, body butters, and everything else you need to keep your skin in tip-top shape!

Your Hair Will Thank You

Chocolate shampoo and conditioner, anyone? OK, so it’s not exactly chocolate flavour but for you brunettes, it keeps your beautiful hair shining in stunning chocolate tones. If you’re a redhead, copper-toned, silver fox, or tobacco-hued, there are formulas for that, too. Green, sustainable hair care has evolved quite a bit, don’t you think? DAVINES hair products offer all that, and much, much more. Every type of hair can be improved with something from DAVINES. They  even offer a spectacular, award-winning blowdry primer!

In addition to offering sustainable beauty products that are great for your hair, DAVINES give back in other ways as well. One percent of every purchase goes towards environmental companies. Pretty cool, eh?

Put On A New Face

Sustainable makeup is a game changer! You’ll feel so good about putting your makeup on every morning without worrying about the products you’re putting on your face. And with areas around your eyes and mouth being so sensitive, it’ll be a relief as well.

Elate is the best natural, sustainable cosmetic line we have ever seen. Although there are a lot more coming out on the market, Elate was our first love. With a huge colour range and a beautiful finish on the skin, what more could you want?

The next time you buy a beauty product take a good look at the label. Do your research on what exactly is in it, and how it’s packaged. It feels awesome to be putting toxin-free, cruelty-free, environmentally sustainable products on your body.

If you’re still not sure where to start any of our staff at designHouse Salon, a sustainable beauty salon in Victoria, BC, would be happy to give you a consultation and lead you on your new healthy, green beauty path.
