In celebration of Clean Beauty Day on July 15th, the food sustainability app 'Too Good To Go' is highlighting the important connection between clean beauty practices and environmental sustainability.
Were you thinking about throwing your leftover porridge in the bin? Or had those avocados in your fridge seen better days?
Some of the food we eat also doubles as effective beauty treatments to keep your hair and skin looking healthy and natural! Check out some of the homemade beauty recipes Too Good To Go provided below ?
Summer Beauty Tips with Less Waste
- Brown Avocado Rescue Mask: Don't throw away that browning avocado! Mash it with honey for a luxurious face mask rich in vitamins such as B2 and B3 and antioxidants.
- Leftover Porridge Power: Don't let leftover porridge go to waste! Oats have anti-inflammatory properties which can help calm redness and irritated skin anywhere on your body.
- Rice Water Rinse for Shine: Save the water you use to rinse your rice! It's a fantastic hair rinse for extra shine. Just remember to follow up with conditioner as rice water can be drying. Bonus: dip your face in rice water for improved skin healing!
- Green Tea Facial Mist: Repurpose leftover green tea into a refreshing facial mist. The antioxidants and caffeine will help soothe and de-puff your skin.
