Bambaw reusable makeup remover pads are made of bamboo and cotton fibres so they're better for your skin, the planet and your wallet! They even come with a drawstring bag to put them in when you put them in the washing machine! Reusable Makeup Remover Pads | Eco Living | Bambaw

Reusable makeup remover pads, what are they?

We are used to single-use cotton pads, which are thrown away directly after use. Still, there is a better alternative for the environment that is very simple: the bamboo makeup pads.

This is a small piece of cloth, often made of vegetal fibre, which is used in exactly the same way as the classic make-up remover pads, except that, unlike the latter, it can be reused over and over again. All you have to do is wash it.

Why use bamboo makeup pads?

The reusable makeup remover pads will help you take much better care of your face. Its quality and softness will make it easier than ever to stop using disposable make-up remover pads.

Reusable makeup remover pads are incredibly soft

Whether it's a set of 10 or 16, the two bamboo reusable pads kits contain both soft and scrubby make-up pads. Both are made from bamboo fibres, which makes them so exceptionally soft. On top of that, bamboo fibres have the impressive property of becoming softer after each wash, ensuring that your make-up pads remain pleasant to use for a very long time.

The soft velvet pad is ideal for all skin types and especially for removing make-up from sensitive areas, such as the eyes. You can also use it to apply cream or foundation.

They are exfoliating

Scrub terry pads are perfect for removing tenacious products. Thanks to their exfoliating properties, they allow you to cleanse your skin thoroughly, essential for keeping your skin healthy.

In addition to make-up, your skin becomes covered in bacteria, pollutants, dirt and dead skin during the day. By washing your skin with a bamboo makeup pad, you will remove all these impurities that could clog your pores and lead to blemishes.

Bamboo makeup pads are super absorbent

Bamboo fibre is also known for its absorbent properties in addition to its exceptional softness. Bambaw bamboo reusable pads are therefore more absorbent than traditional make-up removal pads. So all you have to do is apply make-up remover and gently rub your face with it, and the make-up will come off effortlessly.

They are machine washable

Both kit sizes come with their cotton bag, so you can easily machine wash your reusable makeup remover pads. When your pads are used, simply gather them in the bag and wash them at 40-60 degrees. It is recommended that you do not use fabric softener or tumble dry them to ensure that they last as long as possible.

Bamboo makeup pads will save you money

One of the great advantages of reusable makeup remover pads is that they can be reused hundreds of times. This means that, although they cost more to buy than disposable make-up pads, they are much more economical in the long run. So it's an investment that will benefit both your wallet and the planet.

A zero-waste bathroom with Bambaw's Health & Beauty collection

Bamboo makeup pads are far from the only swap you can make in your bathroom to reduce your ecological footprint. Complete your zero-waste beauty routine by adding products from the Bambaw shaving and oral care family, or even by opting for reusable cotton buds and sanitary pads.

The ecological impact of traditional cotton

Conventional cotton pads are a disaster for the environment. Cotton is highly polluting because it is grown with massive use of pesticides, fertilisers and water. Therefore, cotton should not be used as a disposable item.

To make matters worse, cotton pads are usually packaged in plastic. Plastic packaging is a significant contributor to the environmental problem we face today, as it generates a lot of waste and has an impact on the planet's ecosystem. Indeed, due to poor product design, and the lack of clear legislation, the majority of this plastic ends up in landfills or worse, directly in nature.

Luckily, there are reusable alternatives, empowering you to create a waste-free makeup removal routine.

Zero-waste make-up removal

Avoid disposable cotton pads and use reusable makeup remover pads to reduce your daily waste. You can use reusable pads or a soft cloth. The pads can simply be washed in the machine. They come with a laundry bag to wash them together. This simple routine helps to avoid producing a lot of waste.

How to wash the reusable makeup remover pads?

Once used, simply gather the used bamboo makeup pads in the cotton mesh bag. Then, wash them in the laundry machine at 40°C to 60°C. For more tips and tricks on how to take care of your bamboo reusable pads, a digital user manual is included with your order.

Is it effective in removing mascara?

Yes, the reusable makeup remover pads remove mascara. It is recommended to use soft velvet pads on sensitive skin around the eyes.

Is it best to use them once and then wash them, or can they be rinsed and used on both sides before putting them in the washing machine?

To remove any residue, you can rinse the bamboo reusable pads after each use. Consider cleaning them in the washing machine after several uses, or when using them for tenacious make-up. Ultimately, it depends on your personal preference.

What is the composition of the bamboo makeup pads?

The exfoliating scrub terry pads are composed of 80% bamboo and 20% cotton.

The soft velvet pads are made from 60% bamboo, 20% cotton and 20% polyester.

Can they be used to remove nail polish?

Yes, you can remove nail polish with the reusable makeup remover pads, but they can get stained afterwards. It is better to use older make-up remover pads for this. Otherwise, the best way to remove stains is to soak them in a mixture of vinegar and lemon for at least an hour. You can find more ideas for reusing your old cleansing pads and instructions on caring for them in the digital user manual.

Two major areas to look at when researching how ethical your bank is are:

Investments

Tax

Many banks invest in unethical and environmentally damaging activities like fossil fuel financing, new oil and gas exploration and the arms trade.

Ethical Consumer has good information on this and Bank.Green has a great function where you can enter a bank's name and see their rating according to their climate credentials.

The Money Carbon Calculator is a great tool where you can enter your bank's name to see how much carbon your funds are producing.

Some of the top rated ethical banks include Triodos bank, Nationwide and Monzo in the UK.

It's surprisingly easy to switch your current account using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) Once you have opened a new account and chosen a switch date, the new bank will transfer incoming payments (salary etc) and all of your direct debits and standing orders. Any payments sent to the old account will be automatically redirected.

Making the switch for my beloved brew - mini blog

Have been reading through some of the articles and blogs suggested in the GI workbook/resources. One item got me thinking (https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/sustainable-zero-waste-kitchen/) and it made me question why I was still using teabags, when I could switch to loose leaf tea.

I did a bit more research of my two favourite brands of tea (Yorkshire Tea and Tetley's) and discovered the amount of plastic used in sealing the teabags. I know both companies are working on trying to avoid the use of plastics in their bags, but why haven't I thought of swapping to loose leaf sooner?

It's a no-brainer, as it'll reduce the waste in my kitchen bin, be more economical and environmentally sound. So, this weekend's purchase will be loose leaf tea and a tea steeper!

Also, the article gave alternatives to paper towels and reminded me that I have switched from drying my daily portion of grapes on a sheet of paper towel to a clean tea towel (which will from now on be specially reserved for the task!).

Tip - add a banana skin to a jar of water and leave to infuse for 24 hours. You can use the infused water as a plant food for indoor plants. It contains potassium, phosphorus and calcium

Tip - Old bananas can feed butterflies too! Take a brown banana and squidge it so the insides turn mushy. Cut a few slits in the skin then put it in a sunny spot near some flowers. Butterflies love them

The only items we can collect as part of your kerbside collection if you are on the St Nicks residential list are pens.

As of March 2021 we are collecting:

Yes please: Any brand of nuts, popcorn, crisps/chips and pretzels packets. No need to wash, just shake out any remaining contents. Unfortunately, we cannot collect these items from the kerbside as they pose too much of a littering risk.

Yes please: Any brand of sweet biscuit, cake bar and cracker wrappers. This includes multipack packaging and individual wrappers though only the plastic sleeves. No need to wash, just shake out any remaining contents. Unfortunately, we cannot collect these items from the kerbside as they pose too much of a littering risk.

Take a look below at what happens to the items after we send them off to TerraCycle, which upcycles and recycles them into all sorts of new products. Please bear in mind that manufacturing and consumption of the goods you buy may be responsible for as much as half of your carbon footprint. Recycling saves energy and resources but even more is saved by not using them in the first place. To avoid waste, try using local shops that will let you use your own containers and sell refills.
