Ways to green your beauty routine
Save our earth (and dollars) in these three simple steps from Clarins.

1. Cotton off
Yes, you can use less cotton pads and still apply toner effectively. Transfer your toning lotion into spray bottles, or apply it with your hands.

2. Every drop counts
Cut the base of the container to get the last bit of the product for two or three more uses before stashing it.

3. Know your skin
Understand your skin type, so that you do not end up buying something unsuitable and wasting it. Consult a skin therapist if you are not sure.
