The problem with sustainable skincare is that the brand more often than not pushes all the sustainability responsibility on the consumer. Sorry, but a consumer recycling their skincare bottles doesn't mean much if the company does nothing to lower their carbon footprint and continues polluting when they produce the products. Individual changes aren't enough; this is a systemic issue.

@sydneywilliams4796 Жыл бұрын

Obviously it is a systemic issue but consumers carry a lot of power in showing our demand for truly sustainable products and practices. And it’s clearly working. As corporations essentially run our government, they aren’t going to change and they won’t be forced to change unless we impact their profits. Which we are currently doing and we’re seeing the change happen. So individual choice does have a HUGE impact and shouldn’t be ignored in favor of wasteful and polluting individual choice just bc “well it’s systemic so my choices won’t do a thing.”

another trend that's been going on for a couple years is OVERCONSUMPTION. that goes for makeup too. unless you make skincare content, you do not need 20 different serums and toners; you do not need to use a sheet mask every day; you do not need every skincare appliance. for most people, especially those with rosacea (me) or otherwise sensitive skin, keeping it simple is your best bet. you waste money, clutter your home, and potentially irritate your skin. on top of that, hoarding "clean" products means that those preservative free products are going to expire long before you get to them. if you really are tempted to have all of these products, get minis! they give you enough time to gauge how you feel about the product. if you get an 8 ounce (~237 mL) bottle of something and end up hating it, it either collects dust or gets thrown out (yes, even if you return it to the store).

Yes, preach! Could not agree more with you said here. I feel like a lot of the so called 'clean skin' brands and/or the brands that tout themselves as 'sustainable' have this attitude of, "just go ahead and buy umpteen dozen things from us, even if you don't need them, because we're the good guys, we're 'clean' and 'sustainable', and then so much stuff just ends up getting wasted.

I really wish that skincare brands that are trying to be sustainable would put more emphasis on ingredient transparency and well as general manufacturing/transportation transparency.

Yes. One thing I often think about is the sustainability of plant based ingredients. Take centella asiatica for instance. It's hugely popular and cheap, it cannot possibly come from nature at this point. There must be centella asiatica farms somewhere. So are the farming practices sustainable? It's a water hungry plant, where does the water come from? Are these monocultures and how does that affect the soil? What was on that land before there was a centella asiatica farm: a forest or a farm for food production? Do the workers get fair pay and safe working conditions? There's just zero info available on any of this. And I'm suspicious. 👀 Suspicious to the point I've started to look for synthetic alternatives to plant based ingredients.

Sustainability is important, however I would love to see brands shift their focus from the disposal/waste side of the conversation towards ethical sourcing, production and labor conditions. To be truly sustainable would be to not produce consumer goods at all, so It would be refreshing to shine a light on every aspect of the production process of our skincare products.

I think the most sustainable skincare is one that you will use till it's empty. I have really bad reactions to a lot of stuff (that I never can predict) so my mum finishes my skincare. Also, a really important thing in sustainability is how the factories treat their waste, if they test on animals (if yes, then it's not sustainable in my opinion and I want nothing to do with it) and if workers are paid enough. It's not as simple 'we use less plastic so we are sustainable'.

@beardiemom Жыл бұрын

Yes, agreed in all aspects. A while ago I tested my way through a couple different sunscreens and two of them just didn't work for me. The first was so heavily fragranced that neither I nor my partner could stand it on our skin and the second gave me an immediate painful skin reaction that left my entire face red and made me want to cry. The former went to my brother's fiancée, who wasn't bothered by the scent and the latter to my partner, who patchtested it and had no reaction.

@Maverickgouda Жыл бұрын

To me flooding takes from layering hydrating toners like kbeauty done for years, followed by occlusives. So yeah, a variation of slugging. I guess they are going through all of the skin practices, explaining them for short form content and naming with short, 1-2 word terms for stuff that otherwise takes at least a sentence. Reminds of when I introduced my parent to the term “gentrification” because I thought’ it would be more convenient than saying the whole concept which he already knew

@@Maverickgouda Seeing how there’s no “right” way to hydrate and moisturize skin, coming up with a new term for it does help those who are trying to figure out which way works better for them, so I see your point. And at the end of the day, the main takeaway is to keep your skin hydrated and moisturize, however in some of these viral TikToks, they seem to perpetuate this idea that they’ve discovered something new and so innovative that the way you’ve been doing skincare is somehow wrong. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it feels like some of these trends just end up shaming people who don’t follow them because they already know what works for them. And honestly that just really sucks all the fun out of skincare

She knows I like skincare and has always “teased” me about it, but now that she’s discovered the skincare side of TikTok, she’s been trying to educate me. And lately it seems like I’m not the only one who’s experienced or seen this type of behavior. So I’m in agreement with James when he says that it’s making people bored, tired and exhausted of just doing a nice skincare routine.

I'm with you on the sustainability! I think the #1 thing we need to remember is that we can't consume ourselves out of the climate crisis. The Ordinary did a great job educating the masses about specific ingredients, but we should probably be looking to using fewer products that still contain the actives and ingredients we want. Rather than using five different products with different ingredients, we should try to cut that to two products that contain the same stuff. You know what's better than sustainable packaging? Less packaging, less bottles, less products.

If you know you like it, buy the biggest bottle they make and use it til it’s empty. One big plastic bottle is going to be softer on the planet than a million half-used glass ones. It’s not always an option because of use-by dates, but where it is that’s a relatively chill, relatively proven step one.

I think what would help (especially in North America), is big stores like Sephora, The Bay, Walmart, etc... have beauty product recycling bins for the brands that they sell and those bottles (plastic or glass) get reused/remade into packaging. It doesn't necessarily mean that they have a recycling perks program, but at least somewhere where the brands that claim to be sustainable are at least collecting the packaging that they've produced and reusing them. To me, this is sustainable (at least a step in the right direction?); although that will also use a lot of pollution from trucks picking up the waste too. It would also be cool for them to also collect expired products (specifically makeup or nail polishes) that are technically a hazardous waste (I think I read that somewhere). Please let me know if there are recycling programs (similar to what I've described), already exists in Canada... I only know of LUSH and L'Occitaine doing this, but I don't really care about getting a face mask or 10% off a brand I don't use.

Though, tbh, the sunscreen is a little bit excessive since I have to buy it imported from the U.K, so £8 Boots sunscreen ends up being like $30, but it's worth every penny because it's PERFECT for me. I occasionally use a clay mask or hydro patches or other infrequent treatments, but that's it and my skin looks amazing. Every time I've tried a serum, toner, trendy product, etc, it's either broken me out or given me a rash. I might get a derm procedure done in the future to help with old acne scars, but otherwise, I'm quite happy with my incredibly boring and simple daily routine.

@@dumpsterfire3214 Haha! I loved the smell when I used it as my lip balm, so I started slugging with it.

They don't. Generally. I imagine it's for the video, product mention - and then they either wash it off or it was just a one time thing with those products. And some of us just seem to have skin that can handle anything we slap on it.

In my opinion, any sort of sustainable branding is just another way for the big companies to put the responsibility on us while looking like they are doing something. They aren't. And honestly, even those of us who recycle and do what we can (which I do) aren't either. These companies add to the VAST majority of pollution on the planet. But if they advertise to us that we can recycle their containers or refill them etc.. it looks better on them. Coca-cola is a great example to look into. Anyways, for those of us who recycle, that's still amazing and better than nothing! ❤

James I may be the only person who has such sensitive skin that I cannot use ANYTHING on my face. It literally burns my face. This includes high end brands, drugstore brand, and medical grade treatments for rosacea. I can use loose powder and love going high end for the things I can use. I usually use a very mild almond soap and water to cleanse. Also anything with strong fragrance gives me a raging migraine. I sometimes think I should live in a bubble. The reason I mention this is because I am 63 years old and people tell I look like I’m in my mid 30s. So sometimes I think that all the things people use, which I cannot use, may not necessarily be advantageous. I LOVE your perspective because you don’t seem to be promoting your opinion to the world. You are humble but so knowledgeable.

For me I don't think of them as trends & I'm not very impressionable with products so I think that mindset helps me not give in. Which for me is important cause of my ✨️bad ✨️ spending habits.

I am 40 yrs old now, and have NO wrinkles; just a couple fine lines on my forehead. The only products I used for 10 yrs were sunscreen by day and Roc Retinol Correxion night cream at night. Two products for 10 years. I love taking care of my skin and got buried into skincare just like any other several years ago. Over-buying and over-trying 1000's of products... it was fun, but it also helped me realize that "less is truly more". It's gone a little overboard the last few years; even further than even I would go.

Honestly would love to see a company do what lots of companies did before plastic/some dairy companies still do. Spmeone buys the product in a reusable container the first time. Then they can either send that container in to be refilled, or they can bring it to a store and refil it there. Some places you can get soap and shampoo in bulk and put them in any container you bring, why cant we have that with skincare? Youre right this stuff takes a long time to fix, but not because the ideas arent there. Corporations have been given so many proposals by environmentalist groups but they want to get away with doing the least amount possible
