We all want better skin, but how can we achieve it and still take good care of Planet Earth? In an effort to achieve clear, smooth and glowy skin, you may have invested in endless sheet masks as part of your skincare routine. However, environmentalists have highlighted the damaging effects that these single-use skincare products have on the earth, as they’re unable to effectively break down. To gain the beauty benefits and create your best skincare routine without a guilty conscience; simply invest in biodegradable alternatives.
When a sheet mask is biodegradable, it can break down into its natural elements and leave no toxicity behind in the environment. Here are some great options for the next time you need to supplement your skincare routine with a sheet mask, perfect for a daily face routine and your skincare essentials.
