We are all creatures from Mother Nature. It only seems fitting, then, that we work to honour and preserve her the best way we can. As women, we have a more intimate connection to the planet &#8211; she boasts the miracle of life, and we have the ability to do similar by giving birth to children. So by celebrating Earth, we celebrate an entity not much different to ours.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways of doing this. In the past few weeks, I\u2019ve been sharing how every green goddess can do her bit to protect our big blue marble in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/green-goddess-fashionista\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fashion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/the-ggg-to-eco-friendly-camping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">camping and adventures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/green-goddess-guide-eco-friendly-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cooking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. My final installment is on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/body\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cosmetics<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/beauty\/makeup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make-up<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>ADOPT A GREEN ROUTINE<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nIn <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/green-goddess-fashionista\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green Goddess Guide: The Eco-Friendly Fashionista<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I spoke about how less is more (chic) and the same can be said for cosmetics. A streamlined toiletry bag is as environmentally responsible as a minimalistic wardrobe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider investing in a body wash that doubles as shampoo and conditioner. Not only are the combination products more cost effective, but you\u2019ll be cutting down your waste by over 60%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since we\u2019re on the subject, you really don\u2019t have to wash your hair every second day. Instead of hemorrhaging through water and stripping your luscious locks of the nutrients they need to stay healthy and glossy, wash your hair twice a week (Sunday and Wednesday night or Monday and Thursday morning) and experiment with some fun French plaits or daring hats and headwraps in between. For advice on how to train your hair into a more eco-friendly routine go <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/hair-quick-guide-oil-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/body\/bath-products\/soaps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biodegradable soaps <\/a>shouldn\u2019t just be used on camping trips. The earth-friendly products make it possible for you to catch your grey water from the shower and use it to water your plants and garden.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>COSMETICS DIY<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nThe golden rule for my skincare regime is: if I wouldn\u2019t put it in my body, it won&#8217;t go on my body. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I did away with toners containing alcohol and face creams heavy in Mercury, Nickel and Titanium Dioxide a very long time ago. They claim to have anti-aging properties but all they do is poison your skin. Grapes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/food\/pantry\/honey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honey<\/a>, strawberries, cherries, orange peels, papaya and full-cream yogurt are equally (if not more) effective and completely natural.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You needn\u2019t look far for fantastic recipes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/three-tried-tested-homemade-face-masks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">face masks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/shed-your-old-skin-make-your-own-sumptuous-body-scrubs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body scrubs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/body-toning-cream-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skin lotions<\/a>. You can literally make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/freshen-homemade-toothpaste-mouthwash-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">toothpaste<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/banish-bugs-make-your-own-diy-mosquito-repellent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mosquito repellent<\/a> at home. The more experienced green goddess might go as far as to make her own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/qa-le-riche-naturals-making-perfume-essential-oils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perfume from essential oils<\/a> or eyeliner from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/the-oaklands-whey-activated-charcoal-63562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">activated charcoal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=coconut+oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coconut oil<\/a>. The possibilities of homemade cosmetics are as extensive as your creativity, patience and commitment to preserving the earth will reach.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t keep these natural gems to yourself either. A jar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/diy-foot-soak-scrub-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foot scrub<\/a> would make the perfect birthday, anniversary or appreciation gift.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>READ YOUR LABELS<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nThough it continues to astonish me that cosmetic companies still test on animals, and that it hasn\u2019t been outlawed yet, you\u2019ll certainly be doing Mother Nature a service if you avoid those labels all together. You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/7-reasons-for-cruelty-free-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">identify cruelty-free cosmetics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by the bunny logo printed on the product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly important that you not only read what beauty brands are legally required to brandish on their products, but that you understand what you are reading too. Knowing what to keep an eye out for can save you from purchasing single-use plastic, ditch anything that comes in a plastic container. The switch might be a little more expensive but you can reuse a glass pot for your homemade masks, facial scrubs or as mini-planters for herbs and spices you\u2019ll eventually transfer to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/kitchen-gardening-101-growing-produce-can-easy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kitchen garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look out for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/recycling-101-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobius loop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The triangle made of arrows speaks to the lifespan of the products packaging. If the symbol is placed inside a solid circle, you can be sure that the tub or tube is made from recycled materials. The ECOCERT symbol is an organic certification. Reading, and understanding, the labels on your favourite mascara, toner and nail polish takes only a few moments but has the potential to save the planet in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So you see, being more eco-friendly is extremely easy. Embrace your inner green goddess and honour Mother Nature through your cosmetic choices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Read more green goddess guides:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/green-goddess-fashionista\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Green Goddess Guide: The Eco-Friendly Fashionista<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/green-goddess-guide-eco-friendly-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Green Goddess Guide to Creating an Eco-Friendly Kitchen<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/blog\/the-ggg-to-eco-friendly-camping\/\">The Green Goddess Guide to Eco-Friendly Camping<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is often said that from dust we came, and to dust we shall return.
