92% of women use facial cleansers on a daily basis, and the overwhelming majority come packaged in plastic.
Yikes!

I just use homemade bar soap and a washcloth if my face is actually dirty, or just water if I just want to freshen up. I have made it a goal to stop my single-use plastic purchases. Not perfect yet, but getting there.
SO TELL US, WHAT’S YOUR DAILY CLEANSING ROUTINE? Morning- wash my face with wash cloth a little soap and water. Same before bed. I don’t know of any cosmetic line that sells products without a plastic package. My soap is refillable and comes in a plastic bottle. AND WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO TRY SOMETHING NEW? Not much, as I am always looking for new ways to improve our environment.
My cleanser and toner both come in glass bottles with plastic lids. My moisturizer comes in a plastic pot with a plastic lid. I use reusable organic cotton pads. My sunscreen comes in a plastic ‘tube’ container. I just love that my cleanser and toner are in glass but disappointed I can’t find more products going back to glass and metal lids. We did have a world before plastic…
I switch between olive oil that I pour into a reusable plastic bottle during the winter if the weather is really dry, and Cetaphil, which also comes in plastic :( . I tried using a bar of soap, but it was too drying for my skin.

I use a face bar soap from Lush that has calamine in it so its calming, but I only use it once/week. After the soap I use a rose oil/witch hazel water based toner (plastic bottle), and I end with Kiehl’s midnight recovery concentrate just before bed (glass bottle, plastic dispenser pump).
