If we say to you makeup remover, do you immediately think of those little cotton rounds that you buy endlessly every month and throw away after one use? If the answer is yes, we have very good news for you, your wallet and the planet! <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Why are disposable cottons not a good solution?<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Beyond the budget they represent (about 50\u20ac per year if you remove your makeup every day), they also have a large environmental impact. To produce 1kg (about 2 pounds) of cotton, you need more than 5000 liters of water but also a large quantity of pesticides. This endangers the people who work in the crops, and it\u2019s also one of the main causes of water pollution in the producing countries. What about organic disposable cottons? No pesticides, but still far too much water for a product that is going to end up in your bin.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

So prefer organic cotton for clothes that you will wear for several years, and opt for a sustainable and very economical alternative for daily make-up removal. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Zero waste, economical, sustainable, softer for the skin… These are some good reasons to adopt reusable cotton pads to remove your makeup. Not only do they last for years, they can also be very chic on the edge of the sink and make your skin care routine even more pleasant. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

If you are not a very hands-on type of person, you can easily buy some on websites like Etsy (handcrafted) or in zero waste stores. If on the other hand, you feel like being a bit creative and have some spare time, what a great opportunity to start making your own makeup remover cotton pads.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
