    One UU from last night that I forgot to post earlier:

    Garden Of Wisdom Azelaic Acid 10% Serum 30ml WPNBA. This was good to use on deep, under the skin spots, and hormonal ones as well. But I didn't use it as often as I imagined I would need to, so I used it up on my body.

    And one from this afternoon:

    Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and have done. Cheap and effective :)

    One UU this morning:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml WDBA and have done. My HG moisturiser, light and moisturising. Replaced with the back up tube in my stash.

    Another UU today: Real Chemistry Environmental Rescue Essential Day Cream 10ml. This was from LF beauty box and I thought it had a good texture and didn't break me out. Probably WNBA as I don't think it is easily available to purchase in the UK.

    Another UU from this morning:

    Bumble and Bumble Bb. Pret-a-Powder Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo 25ml sample WPB as a full size. This was lovely. I've never got on with dry shampoos before, but this was great.
  • I washed the remains of an organic face wash into the sink. It was open for a year and honestly I was afraid that it would cause more harm as no perservatives. Sometimes products are too big for use.

    Is this one close to you? https://www.truefood.coop/

    Camomile Butter comes in a metal box, way better than plastic by the way but I agree, still not zero waste. I usually break out with heavy products but this one didn't cause any issues.

    Agree, normal cleanser would remove normal SPF but I just assume that's the case rather than being certain if it makes sense? Hence the question.


    No, I'll have to admit I don't know what you mean....

    kadison - you might find a local health food store doing zero waste things, I have a couple near me but there is no way you would find that out online, I was in there and saw that they refilled Ecover, Faith in Nature, did dry ingredients package free and make their own skincare products which they sell in glass. You might have something similar near you.


    Thanks both, I'll have a look at the Emmer Green one next time I'm passing on a weekday, I go to choir at a school there but at night!

    uu


    Sanctuary Spa 2 Day Shower Oil 250ml - WNBA, not bubbly enough and as you lather it straight onto the skin rather than a puff it is wasteful, nice scent though but I don't notice any particular moisturising benefits. Another of these in the stash.
