5 EASY STEPS TO A MORE SUSTAINABLE SKINCARE ROUTINE

Small daily gestures good for you and the planet.
In [ comfort zone ] we believe that our bodies and souls have two homes: our skin and our Planet. It's necessary to protect and preserve them with easy daily gestures: from sustainable products to daily practices. Start making the difference today. 

1. NO MORE DISPOSABLE COTTON DISCS

Cheap, practical and hygienic, cotton discs are a staple accessory in every skincare routine. It's estimated that we throw 3 to 4 discs in the trash every day. If we apply these numbers to the world population, it's easy to understand the environmental impact of these discs during their productionas well as their disposal. Luckily, there are more sustainable alternatives that are just as practical and effective. To ensure your skincare routine has a positive impact on the environment, choose discs made of flannel, organic cotton or vegetal fibers, machine-washable and re-usable up to 1000 times!

2. CHOOSE BIODEGRADABLE PRODUCTS

The chemical surfactants used in the production of silky and foaming textures, usually listed on labels as SLS and SLES, derive from the processing of petroleum and have a significant impact on the environment during their extraction, as well as their discharge into rivers, oceans and lakes. Besides being harmful for the environment, surfactants can also damage your skin. They can be rather aggressive, removing not only the dirt and debris from the skin's surface, but also the natural oil that works as a protective barrier. Choose delicate products, free from aggressive surfactants, for an effective cleansing action that does not harm to your skin or Planet.

3. CHECK THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR SCRUB

Scrubs should always be a part of your skincare routine. Used once or twice a week, they promote cellular renewal, skin oxygenation and the removal of superficial dead skin cells for a smooth, luminous and purified skin. For a sustainable beauty routine, avoid any products containing microplastics, usually listed in INCI as PE or PET, greatly responsible for the pollution of oceans and lakes. Choose scrubs and exfoliants rich in natural alternative ingredients such as rice, apricot kernels and Silica spheres for beauty without compromising your skin and the Planet.

4. TURN OFF THE TAP

Small daily gestures can minimize the daily consumption of water. For example, turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, choose a quick shower instead of a long bath and adopt devices such as low-flow aerators. These tricks will benefit your wallet as well as the environment. Pro tip: apply a face mask before showering and leave on while you massage your body with a scrub. This way you'll combine two actions simultaneously saving water and time!

5. CHOOSE YOUR PROTECTION WISELY

Every year, large quantities of sunscreen are dumped in the water, irreparably damaging the marine ecosystem and coralreefs. Do some research and choose a sunscreen with sustainable filters, free from zinc oxide, oxybenzone, octinoxate and titanium dixiode. An eco-friendly SPF means caring for your skin as well as the environment. 

Water Soul protects your skin and the oceans with effective and sustainable products that have minimal impact on the marine environment.
