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

You should use COSRX Hyaluronic Acid when you're feeling dehydrated. Dehydrated skin (as opposed to dry skin) is a temporary drop in your skin's water-based moisture caused by weather, stress or harsh skincare. Dry skin meanwhile, refers to persistently dry skin and requires oil-based emollients and occlusives. HA will help your skin retain moisture, and offset the factors that are making your skin feel tight an uncomfortable.
Many COSRX products contain hyaluronic acid - it's one of the most popular skincare ingredients out there! For a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, you can't look past the COSRX Hydra Power Essence (/products/cosrx-hyaluronic-acid-hydra-power-essence-100ml) and the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream (/products/cosrx-hyaluronic-acid-intensive-cream-100ml).
The COSRX essence that contains hyaluronic acid in a decent concentration is the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence, if the name didn't give that away! The simple formulation contains only 8 ingredients, one of which is sodium hyaluronate. The other is sea buckthorn water, which contains similar properties to HA with additional brightening abilities.
