Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
There is a tonne of hype surrounding the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, but we bought into it and we weren't disappointed! Yes, this product really does remove waterproof makeup, including mascara. And yes, it helps remove sebaceous filaments from a congested T-zone (just like you've seen in those TikTok reels). We've never felt a cleansing oil leave our skin so smooth and pores so clean. The non-comedogenic formula uses skin-loving plant oils such as jojoba, olive fruit and grapeseed, as well as heartleaf extract.
Good for congested, blackhead or acne-prone skin. We wouldn't use this as your everyday oil, just for when your skin is congested. Avoid if your skin is sensitive to fragrances.
Note this cleansing oil takes a bit of work (gentle massaging on dry skin for a good 1-2 minutes before rinsing off). Also, we wouldn't use it on skin whose pores are already quite clean - once every few days is enough to do the trick!
Precautions:
Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.
