6 Ways To Make Your Skincare Routine Environmentally Friendly!
Care By Jords Advice
A major part of our daily lives is our skincare routine. This everyday ritual is probably second nature for many of us. And you wouldn’t be the first to forget about the impact it has on the environment. It's not only about being cruelty-free, organic & natural.
Sustainability is a huge issue that isn’t going anywhere, and is something we all are going to have be more conscious of going forward. There's loads of ways that you can get involved and make a difference.
We are going to highlight some ways your skincare routine can harm the environment. Plus a few ways in which you can alter your skincare routine to help the save the environment.
1. Ditch the face wipes
The UK alone is accountable for 10.8 billion wet wipes and - unknown to oblivious users - 93% of blocked sewage pipes in the UK are down to this pesky product! Last year, sewer build ups in London even reached the size of 11 double-decker buses.
As I'm sure you're aware, there are plenty alternatives for makeup wipes that you could consider using. Not only are alternatives better for the environment, but they often work out cheaper too! A few of these alternatives include:
-
Remove make up with a cleansing oil (you can checkout ours by clicking here)
- Use reusable makeup wipes (you can checkout ours by clicking here)
2. Buy products that have eco-friendly packaging
Reusable bags are something every eco-friendly shopper takes with them to the supermarket, and it’s about time we bring this ethos into our skincare routines.
All of Care By Jords products are packaged in recyclable materials. We also provide a service where in which you can return all the glass bottles and jars you’ve used. If you have any of our products you can return your empty jars and bottles by clicking here.
You can also get refills for a vast majority of our products which will reduce your carbon foot print.
3. Reduce your water usage
When washing your face, turn off the water tap when you don’t need it. It’s a super simple thing to do but it makes a big difference to water wastage.
4. Look at the products ingredients
Look for brands that use natural and organic ingredients in their formulations which are produced and in an environmentally friendly way.
Similarly, make sure your products do not contain microplastics usually made from polyethylene. These are tiny particles of plastic that have many harmful effects on the environment. They are not recyclable and can go on to pollute oceans and be ingested by marine life, fish and animals.
5. Use multi-purpose products
Reducing the number of products we buy and use means reducing the amount of packaging we consume as well as our waste.
Why not try a lotion you can use on your face body and hair instead of having separate ones for each area. Our Hydrating Face & Body Lotion is fantastic multi-tasker. You can learn more about it by clicking here.
As well as our Nourishing & Cleansing Oil which can be used as a cleanser, makeup remover, shaving oil, hair oil and moisturiser. You can learn more about it by clicking here.
6. Shopping locally
Shipping products creates a lot of waste. Think of all the shipping materials required to ship one product: shipping container, packing paper, receipt, shipping label, tape, etc. That doesn’t even include the transportation for the parcel to reach its destination.
Shopping at your local beauty stores, especially small businesses, is one way to cut back on the emissions and resources required to ship goods from afar.
To Summarise
It’s impossible to make your beauty routine truly “zero-waste” so don’t feel pressured by the unattainable goal of perfection. Start slow if you need.
When you run out of a product, try your best to recycle it. If it’s not sustainably made, consider replacing it with a low-waste alternative from a brand you trust.

Tried a lot of skincare products but feel like nothing was made for you?
That is how we felt. Both my Mom and I.
WE felt as though there was nothing that truly catered towards our skin.
Nothing able to keep it hydrated, soft and supple without leaving it looking oily/greasy.
We wanted a simple and easy skincare routine that would treat dry skin, fade hyperpigmentation and prevent acne.
Care By Jords was our answer.
Three products all handmade with natural ingredients.
Simplifying your skincare routine to three steps and giving you brighter skin, fading your scars and an evening your skin tone.

Three steps closer to a bolder, brighter and more confident YOU.
Skincare made for you through a mothers love for her son which is environmentally friendly and catered to your skin.
Because we care.
How would life be if you were just a little bit more confident?
This ⬆️ was the question I used to ask myself every single day.
I used to think that if I could just change the way I felt about my appearance then everything else would fall into place.
This thought is what created Care By Jords.
Change the way I feel about my appearance = increased confidence = better decision making = a better life
So with my mom I decided to create a natural and organic skincare range.
We used her knowledge being both a herbalist and a homeopath for the past three decades.
And after hundreds of attempts and thousands of hours, together we succeeded.
My skin cleared up, I began to feel more confident in myself and as a result my life changed for the better.
