Thank you for always being inclusive and non-judgmental in your videos. You always include different options so that everyone can find something that suits them, rather than saying "Stop shaving" or "Don't wear makeup" without any alternative. You always remind us that there is not one set of rules for sustainability and that there is no right and wrong way to do it. I appreciate that.

Pro-tip from a geology nerd: Using any kind of non-reactive rock/mineral roller for circulation works just as well as rose quartz. Rose quartz, amethyst, etc. have no actual benefits themselves (again, they're virtually chemically inert when interacting with your skin/oils), it's the physical stimulation that does all the work! If you can find something cheaper that's still safe and sustainable, buy that and save your money :)

@@marycharlebois6627 Hey! It may not be a new suggestion, but I'll try to be helpful :) I sell clothes I can't find useful purposes for (or that cannot be repurposed) online, I use Vinted. I still don't know how ethical it is but it is the handiest I can do at the moment and I like their sponsor 'Clothes that don't cost the earth'. What are your creative and useful purposes for old t-shirts? I know they can be repurposed as cleaning racks or even for a blanket but I'm curious to know your ideas.

I recently made the conscious decision to use up all my creams, scrubs and makeup before buying anything new. I was shocked how many products had piled up over the years. Using what you already have makes you realise how many stuff you actually own and how long it actually lasts. Love the videos and keep up the great work Immy! ❤️

I'm so happy that more zero waste KZread are getting aware about the ingredients in their skin care products. Environmental sustainability and ethics are important but so is skin health. Hyram's skin care advice has changed my skin forever!!

“No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.”... thank-you Immy for being a shining example of this... always!! Mid-fifties gal here... for sure... I do use a few products on the outside of my bod, but a big part of my ‘beauty plan’ includes fresh air, exercise, getting out into nature, eating plant-based foods, smile, and accept my oncoming wrinkles and grey hair with positivity.

Tip with natural loofa: boil it for several minutes to disinfect it and remove any smells, then you can use it til it literally falls apart 😁

Thank you for encouraging the use of synthetic ingredients! I often sense a strong hesitance to synthetic biology, but I'm a plant biochemist and I firmly believe that the acceptance of synthetic biology will further our ability to live more sustainably on a global scale. This general fear of synthetic ingredients is further exacerbated when companies use fearmongering as a marketing strategy, especially with "clean" and "natural" being unregulated terms. That being said, thank you so much for bringing awareness to this often misunderstood aspect of sustainability. Great video, Immy!

I love that you included things like drinking water and eating greens! Helps you be beautiful from the inside out!

Quarantine has been the perfect time for me to start washing my hair once a week since I work from home and no one can see how greasy I am. I'm now at the point where I can go longer than a week which I never thought I could do!

Your too good to me ❤️

Fabulous video. And you know, it works both ways too, like prepare to be surprised. I sS gifted a Dermalogica facial recently, and I was shocked at the end, when the esthetician DIDNT push any expensive products at me, instead, she said "use up everything you've got at home, it doesn't matter at all about buying new products, as they'll probably just sit there gathering dust. Use anything and everything you've got". How lovely is that? Sustainable beauty regimes themselves need not be militant, as THAT in itself is unsustainable in the long term. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been using my stainless steel nail file for years!!! My mom got some as stocking stuffers one Christmas and I’ve never looked back. They just feel and perform better than the typical long nail files for me. I could never get myself to consistently use a file before. Can not recommend them enough!

Great list Immy! I love that you acknowledge how not everyone can do everything and that taking steps is the main part. I'd say use a crystal nail file rather than a stainless steel one. It's less harsh on the nails and you can go in both directions. They're a bit pricey but worth the investment! Again, another investment is an epilator. Epilating is a great option and easier to do than waxing/sugaring but lasts just as long. I love Cruelty Free Kitty to check up on whether brands are cruelty free. It costs money to get Leaping Bunny certification so though it's a quick way to check it might restrict you unneccessarily.

Another comprehensive, detailed video. Thanks, Immy. As a curly girl myself, I’m always trying to find more sustainable ways to care for them.

I have just found your channel. I am 19 and trying little by little to be more sustainable. It is a little big hard because of the environment I live at. Your channel is helping a lot and giving me plenty of ideas. Lots of love from Spain.

YAAAAS you’re a Hyram fan!!! ❤️❤️ And it’s awesome to see a balanced routine! When I started to be more sustainable I definitely went a little crazy with the diy and minimalism and was not treating my skin and hair the best way! I am learning to find more balance now and researching ethical, cruelty free and high quality brands to make sure I only buy what I need, what will work for me, and what I will use till the end! Thanks for the brand suggestions btw!🥰

I absolutely love this new serie of you! If is so informative and calming to watch for some reason.

Another good thing to look for in sunscreen is that its reef safe. Also adding sugar to your cleanser is a good exfoliant for sensitive skin cause it dissolves after a while so you cant over exfoliate or strip your face/body.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the overalls, the color and especially the tied off bits instead of buttons. Fabulous!

I have recently started watching your videos and wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration. I am someone who is interested in living low waste and sustainable but didn't know where to start. Your videos have taught me so much about how to start my sustainable journey and I like your approach of changing what you can and not feeling guilty for slipping up sometimes, which can happen to us all. The world is focussed on materialism and I sometimes I catch myself wanting to buy unnecessary items just for the sake of it. Your videos have made me more mindful of this and have taught me ways to re-use things I already have. Thank you for informing others and being such an inspiration for people like myself xx

I use Superdrug products. All of Superdrug's own brand products are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and are not tested on animals

Love this 🙂 don’t think I have actually brought products in years due to using mine all up and getting brought for Christmas presents.

I highly recommend the book "There's Lead In Your Lipstick" by Gillian Deacon. In the book she talks about the harmful toxins and chemicals in our everyday beauty products. She also recommends many different eco friendly alternatives as well is stuff you can make yourself. It's a really good read.

Always love your videos. The right ones always come at the right time. Thank you for sharing! 🫶🏾

I make my own parfum with essential oils and I get compliments so often! A little patchouli or lavender goes a long way. And it really boosts your presence if you smell nice and also, relying on Pavlov, applying the same smell everyday can help to evoke certain feelings. I always think of summertime and fun and friends when I put it on everyday and it relaxes me. Thank you so much for the great content Immy!

You put so much time and attention into your videos, thank you so much, I learnt A LOT 🙂 Keep making content like this because it’s so informative. I use an epilator to get rid of my leg hair.

love that you mentioned @hyram!!

I loved it! ❤️ I really love that you care about sustainablility and also have science based information about skincare! Unfortunately, it is rare that these two things meet... I loved your recommendation for example to to avoid essential oils because of the possible irritations that it can cause. YES, natural is not always means that it is better! Also its important that you recommended scrubs only for the body and not for the face, they can be too harsh to use on the face. The most important: suncreen, yes! Spread useful information :) About the diy turmeric face mask: in one of Hyram's reaction videos a guy used it and his face was stained yellow, so be careful. Keep going, you make such professional videos with important informations! Also i love that you mentioned Hyram, he is the best when it comes to skincare, very reliable information that he shares and he also cares about sustainability!

Awesome thank you! So much info condensed into one video :D

There are so many amazing tips in this video! My skin got so much better once I started using simpler, more natural products-but I reaaaally need to start wearing sunscreen on my face 😬

I told her about egg cartons since her family eats a TON of eggs so hopefully she'll want to try that next year and they have plenty leftover for me! And buying second hand pots if you actually need a pot is great, but what else?? :) You seem like you've been doing a lot of gardening lately and I'd love to hear more about it :) xo

Really great list! A lot of these tips corroborate what I found when doing my own research too. Beauty is such a tricky issue since the cosmaceutical industry can say soooo much not-quite-true stuff (or down right lies) since they’re not as regulated as medical products so we really do have to do our own research and not take beauty companies at their word (whether they are “natural” or not).
