1.  After-sun aloe. While it’s best to avoid sunburns all together, it’s also important to be prepared in case of the occasional burn. Aloe is a top skin-soother, relieving minor sunburn, rashes, bug bites and blisters. On top of calming the skin, aloe is also great for effectively hydrating dry skin. The most eco-friendly way to keep aloe around is to grow it, as it’s one of the easier houseplants to cultivate.

 

 

2.  Self-tanner. If the fear of unpleasant odors and orange streaks is a deterrent from trying an at-home self-tanner, then rest assured that these do-it-yourself products have come a long way in recent years. For a gorgeous glow that doesn’t compromise the complexion or the planet, there are eco-friendly formulas that can provide a deep, streak-free color in the comfort of home. 



3.  Hair removal. In a society where smooth, hairless skin is treasured, more than two million disposable razors are thrown away each year. Thankfully, you don’t have to sacrifice soft, shaven skin to be more eco-friendly. Reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills by considering one of the following alternatives.
