What’s wrong with disposable cotton wool balls or pads? Pesticides used on cotton are super toxic and extremely long-lasting. It's likely that your cheap cotton balls, rounds, and pads have harmful pesticide residues on them, and they're the kind of toxins that can get into your body through your skin. If pesticides aren’t your main concern, then consider the use of non-renewable resources. Regular disposable cotton wool pads use 10 000 litres of water per Kg. They are used once, then disposed into landfills, or end up in rivers and oceans. Moving away from these single-use items saves money, is more sustainable and is all around better for your skin (no toxins!) The better alternative: Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, and it uses minimal resources to grow. Bamboo can yield up to 60x more fabric per acre than cotton, it doesn’t need pesticides or fertilizers, nor does it need irrigation water. Bamboo fibre is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for all skin types. It comes in the most beautiful colours, and if you buy ours you can simply add them to your compost heap at the end of their lifetime (natural dyes are used). Sounds good? Then change to reusable bamboo facial rounds or face cloth 😊 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 #betteralternative #naturalalternative #saynotowaste #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #kindtonature #kindtoyou #daretoselfcare (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHKrtfvJsfU/?igshid=112xftpq5em4r
