This week, we begin our Plastic Free July journey with one simple, powerful shift: simplifying our skincare.

Skincare should nourish, not harm, your body or the earth. Sadly, many conventional products are wrapped in plastic and filled with hidden nasties. Swapping to more mindful, ethically produced alternatives is one way we lighten our footprint and protect our skin.

This Week’s PFJ Swap

Choose one product in your skincare routine to switch. Whether it be it your cleanser, toner, or body balm and swap it for a more earth friendly alternative.

Look for:

• Packaging in glass, metal, or compostables

• Ingredients that are natural, non-toxic, and cruelty-free

• Brands that align with your values , slow, transparent, and kind (like us 😉)

🌿 Our NAKED Multi-use Balm is a beautiful place to start

More Plastic Free Beauty Swaps

• Moisturiser in plastic tub → Refillable balm or glass jar

• Deodorant balm in plastic tube → Balm in tin or compostable tube

• Face wipes → Reusable cloth pads

• Disposable razor → Safety razor

• Plastic shower mitts & sponges → Natural loofah mitts or konjac sponge

Why you should choose clean skincare

Top 10 Nasties in Skincare to Avoid - Uncover what doesn't belong on your skin
What’s Lurking in Your Skincare? - Dive deeper into hidden toxins in everyday products

Can Plastic Affect My Fertility? - the connection between plastic exposure, hormones, and your health

These guides will help you shop more consciously and confidently. Because when you choose fewer products made with clean ingredients, you create space for a routine that truly supports you.

Start small, but with purpose. One mindful swap can set the tone for a softer, simpler ritual.

Tag us on Insta @wanderlightly & share your plastic-free swap - we’d love to walk this journey with you.

Yours in nourishment,
