Thank you for the circulation tips, I have reynolds syndrome so my circulation is really bad
Hey algorithm, show people this video...it's a good one.
😩😭🥰🥰
And your comment is a good one too! Thanks, it made me smile... we’re all ripping on the algorithm and I think it’s working.
Well, I'm here so I guess it worked!
Well I'm here rn
Algorithm listened. I have arrived.
Tip with natural loofa: boil it for several minutes to disinfect it and remove any smells, then you can use it til it literally falls apart 😁
Fabulous video. And you know, it works both ways too, like prepare to be surprised. I sS gifted a Dermalogica facial recently, and I was shocked at the end, when the esthetician DIDNT push any expensive products at me, instead, she said "use up everything you've got at home, it doesn't matter at all about buying new products, as they'll probably just sit there gathering dust. Use anything and everything you've got". How lovely is that? Sustainable beauty regimes themselves need not be militant, as THAT in itself is unsustainable in the long term. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this 🙂 don’t think I have actually brought products in years due to using mine all up and getting brought for Christmas presents.
I've recently found a deodorant company called Wild, who are UK based, and they send you a single metal case, and then refills in compostable packaging. It's the first natural deodorant that I've found to work for me and the coconut dreams scent is goooorgeous! Loved this video, so many great ideas! Definitely going to try camelia oil!
I've been looking for people who have actually used it. Glad it's worked for you, I'll give it a go now :)
Can you make a video about cleaning?? All rooms all kind of cleaning from plates to clothes, floor and many more? I really curious about that and I plan to be more sustainable :)
im a curly girl and i used the leave in conditioner from Love of Earth co and aloe gel on my curls to hold the bounce. my shampoo and conditioner is from Happy willow soap co i found them at a local health food store. my curls have NEVER been happier. i hated the wax build up from plastic packaged products.
You put so much time and attention into your videos, thank you so much, I learnt A LOT 🙂 Keep making content like this because it’s so informative. I use an epilator to get rid of my leg hair. I’ve had mine for about 6 years now and it still works great. Also I only need to use it every 3-4 weeks so it saves me a good amount of time.
Would love a list of all the beauty oils and skincare products you use.
Baking soda is the best shampoo I have ever used. It leaves my curly hair soft and tangle free. I use apple cider vinegar about once a month as a rinse. I use about a teaspoon of olive oil as a leave in for conditioning and shine after towel drying. I learned this from a really old lady who had the prettiest hair.
Glass nail files are also a great option.
Love this video especially mentioning using what you already have! I feel like I don’t fit into a zero-waste/ minimalist look because I use what I have if I can rather than buy new 💚
Using what you already have is the ultimate #1 “low-waste-don’t-buy-more-unnecessary-stuff-so-that-you-can-reduce-your-consumption” strategy going. Sounds to me like you fit in just perfectly!!
I absolutely love this new serie of you! If is so informative and calming to watch for some reason.
Funky soap in the UK is amazing for refillable hair products. I have curly hair and I love their products! They come in a refillable aluminium bottle which you can send back and they’ll refill for you at a discounted price!
Thank you so much for the tips!!
Thank you for such a great video. I have switched to all natural products myself a couple years ago due to having allergic reactions to a lot of the chemicals that they put in over processed products like you said a lot of the products can be very expensive but in the long run they do last a lot longer in my opinion.
Epic video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from the Dominican Republic!
I also use flaxseed gel on my face! I wipe it off with a damp cloth after its fully dried. Not sure if its reccomended but works for me! Love how cheap and easy it is to make :)
I always love your videos, but the fact that you have recommended Hyram really made me happy
I love your 100 series ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i love skincare, so seeing this is a really great thing! thank you for the links, i will definitely be checking those brands out. love your channel, as always!
So helpful & inspiring ✨✨✨🤍🌱
Your tips are amazing! I wash my curly hair every 3 days (that still is a progress) but I'm som impressed that you achieved doing it every two weeks. I'm curious if you "make them wet" (don't know how to call it) when you're having a normal shower or not.
Thank you so much for your content ❤️
omg yes absolutely! If I didn't refresh my curls they would look awffuuulll. But during lockdown as I'm literally not seeing anyone ever I just put my hair in two braids and leave them like that until I wash my hair next except for when I film then I rinse my hair. Usually though I will spray my hair with water or water and a tiny bit of leave in conditioner bar onto my hair to restyle.
@@SustainablyVegan Thank you. I will try to do so
Listening to this while doing my nighttime skincare routine 💜
Whenever i finish a product with a pump and can be reused . Most have some skincare items refill in them or using it as a travel container for lotion
This is such a well done video, Immy!
Thank you xx
Spreading the good word 🌱👍🏾
I am loving these videos! 👏🏼
Yay ❤️
I dont think you mentioned this. When I was in Japan, I discovered ear picks. Instead of using ear swabs, they use sticks that curve at the end to remove ear wax. I bought one and it actually is no big deal once you get used to the motion. I believe it's safer than ear swabs and it's zero waste. You scoop out the wax and wipe it on a cloth, then wash the cloth. So it's ridiculously easy to clean.
Great video...loved all 100 of them! You are doing a great job!
what do u do about shoe shopping??? do u repurposed old shoes? if so how?
Another good idea to replace deodorant is to regularly wash your underarms with a benzoyl peroxide cleanser. I was initially just doing this to help with an inflammatory skin condition (dermatologist recommended), but I was able to stop using deodorant altogether (when it’s not too hot & I’m not gonna exercise). I find this useful because many natural deodorants rely on irritants (essential oils, fragrance, etc.) for the smell.
This is such a helpful video, thank you so much 💚
I stumbled across your chanel by chance and after one video already live it. New subscriber here, keep inspiring ❤️
does anyone have tips for going longer between hair washes when you exercise a lot and get sweaty?
If you have a yard, try to do the coffee scrub outside or use a drain mesh in the shower to stop a clog. My friend clogged her drain and had to buy two expensive Draino declogger solutions to fix it
Oh no! I wonder how many times a week she used the scrub
Soo many great tips, thank you!!
Note, not all essential oils are synthetic, look out for absoloutes that haven't been diluted, essential oils like chamomile, rose, manuka, lavender etc. are proven to be beneficial for the skin.
Quick question -- A while ago I got the sense that coconut oil is amazing for everything from healthy cooking to skin moisturizing, but you don't mention it as an oil option in this video. Why's that? Thanks!
Hey Immy Brilliant video thank you very much.❤
Love it.
loooove the video, but the app is not aveable in my country😥
Omg I love Hyram!
ME too x
No need to use a rose quarts roller 😄 I put a spoon in the fridge for 5-10 minutes and then I use it for my morning skincare routine. I saw this in a Korean skincare video!
Ah that sounds great! Will def be recommending that in future 🥰
Great 😘
Thank u for helping me go to sleep everynight
Great video!💚🌎♻️
Glad you liked it!!
Learn to love your differences and uniqueness. I've always liked playing with makeup and enjoy watching others apply makeup. As I've gotten older though I've come to appreciate my imperfections, more accurately what society views as imperfections, that make me, well...me! Let's redefine beauty, people. Choose health and skincare over store-bought beauty and makeup you feel you can't be seen without wearing. As we rid our lives of plastics, let's also remove the plastic faces from our lives. Use makeup because you enjoy it, not because you can't be seen without wearing any. Use it to enhance your uniqueness and not to hide it. If you can't be seen without wearing it, then throw it away. The problem is not your outward appearance but your mental view of yourself.
Do you have a brand tip for fair and sustainable swim swear? 🌺🌸🌼 love your videos and message!
What’s the sunscreen you use?
Great video x
Genuine question, if Tropic don’t use synthetics and only natural ingredients then how come there is pineapple in their shower gel? pineapple essential oil doesn’t exist. Are they using pineapple juice which I don’t think last long in my fridge let alone my shower gel. I also find their fragrances too strong to be considered natural to me. This is coming from someone who wants to be educated on the product. Not looking for hate replies.
Things like castor oil, shea butter ,etc are great opportunities to support Black buisnesses
Does anyone know of a good natural toner for skincare? x
hello! someone know the app what she used to check the product please?? thanks you! (i tried to relisten it but i didn't catch it :'()
what brand is your razor? this video was so beautifully shot :)
hey!! just a quick reminder: i wouldnt support the body shop, because they belong to Nestlé!! And Nestle is not really a company that we should Support!
commenting for youtube algorithm, great video!
I use only soap for my skin with a natural loofa. For my face, I use my DIY face toner. That's it.
Whats the reusable razor in the video? Ive been looking for high quality reusable razor and i have hated all the electronic ones ive had so far :(
Commenting for algorithm
You have beautiful hands!
Agreed!!
Your videos are so calm and soothing, but your ALL CAPS titles are so loud! Shhhhh...
I was watching this like aw heck i don't have all these different oils but then when you were like the most sustainable option is the one you already have I remembered i have a giant glass jar of coconut oil the god of oils
♥️♥️♥️
💞💞💞
Just a PSA: Derma-E is not ethical. I know someone who worked there for years, it’s run by awful people and their lack of safety standards resulted in a worker death last year.
Thank you for always being inclusive and non-judgmental in your videos. You always include different options so that everyone can find something that suits them, rather than saying "Stop shaving" or "Don't wear makeup" without any alternative. You always remind us that there is not one set of rules for sustainability and that there is no right and wrong way to do it. I appreciate that.
This is such a lovely and gracious comment, very genuine and positive. I appreciate you for making it, and I hope your day is an awesome one!
Its nice when youtubers shout out other youtubers, it really feels like a *community*
Absolutely! We're nothing without our beautiful community ❤️
I just want to add "A good SLEEP" on the list, it makes a huge difference in our beauty. Thanks Immy!
You can also use an old t-shirt (rather than getting rid of it) to dry your hair :) it's less aggressive than a cotton towel!
Hey there, this is another great suggestion for the “Creative and Useful Purposes for Old T-shirts” list that is constantly being updated in the back of my brain. Thanks for this cool idea.
@@marycharlebois6627 Hey! It may not be a new suggestion, but I'll try to be helpful :) I sell clothes I can't find useful purposes for (or that cannot be repurposed) online, I use Vinted. I still don't know how ethical it is but it is the handiest I can do at the moment and I like their sponsor 'Clothes that don't cost the earth'. What are your creative and useful purposes for old t-shirts? I know they can be repurposed as cleaning racks or even for a blanket but I'm curious to know your ideas.
although they’re not explicitly “sustainable”, krave beauty is an incredible skincare brand and the owner has said that she won’t be coming out with more and more products every year because she doesn’t want to encourage overconsumption and make products that you don’t actually need
EDIT: in the description she Does actually mention them just as “krave” so tyyyy
After hearing about them on Hyram's channel I felt like they were a good brand to promote!
Pro-tip from a geology nerd: Using any kind of non-reactive rock/mineral roller for circulation works just as well as rose quartz. Rose quartz, amethyst, etc. have no actual benefits themselves (again, they're virtually chemically inert when interacting with your skin/oils), it's the physical stimulation that does all the work! If you can find something cheaper that's still safe and sustainable, buy that and save your money :)
Thank you for sharing !! Always appreciate more info in the comments xx I've learned something new ❤️
@@SustainablyVegan My pleasure! I'm working toward a career in geochemistry and/or mineral resource sustainability, so this is one area I feel pretty confident speaking to
Love your videos! I'm always looking for new ideas of how to up my low impact game - you've given me a lot to work on with this series!!
Well thank you honestly it's great having a such a wonderful and informed community because there's always more to learn! Thanks for being here xx
True! But then again, some people believe in healing crystals so they might go for a specific type.
@@shatterberry I am not one of those people haha so I'm going with the geochemist!
The people who disliked were aiming for the like button but missed 🌻🌱💚
Good one my friend... this made me giggle. Thanks for this!!
I recently made the conscious decision to use up all my creams, scrubs and makeup before buying anything new. I was shocked how many products had piled up over the years. Using what you already have makes you realise how many stuff you actually own and how long it actually lasts. Love the videos and keep up the great work Immy! ❤️
I do think that the brand "The Ordinary" is here to stay because their skincare line is of good quality. I've always finished every single one of their products.
Lilas Charmante the ordinary is here since a long time! Been using their products for more than 5 years now! Sad that with the hype the products have increased :(
@@sophierodrigues4507 Why is that sad? It's a good thing that they've gotten more popular. It means more people using quality products at a reasonable price in mostly sustainable glass packaging.
Trying to beat the algorithm, one comment at a time! Love you Immy 💖
Your too good to me ❤️
Thank you for encouraging the use of synthetic ingredients! I often sense a strong hesitance to synthetic biology, but I'm a plant biochemist and I firmly believe that the acceptance of synthetic biology will further our ability to live more sustainably on a global scale. This general fear of synthetic ingredients is further exacerbated when companies use fearmongering as a marketing strategy, especially with "clean" and "natural" being unregulated terms. That being said, thank you so much for bringing awareness to this often misunderstood aspect of sustainability. Great video, Immy!
I'm so happy that more zero waste UA-cam are getting aware about the ingredients in their skin care products. Environmental sustainability and ethics are important but so is skin health. Hyram's skin care advice has changed my skin forever!!
“No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.”... thank-you Immy for being a shining example of this... always!! Mid-fifties gal here... for sure... I do use a few products on the outside of my bod, but a big part of my ‘beauty plan’ includes fresh air, exercise, getting out into nature, eating plant-based foods, smile, and accept my oncoming wrinkles and grey hair with positivity. Love this vid, love your channel, love you and all that you do!!!
Love your comment!!
Look at your beautiful hair! When we don’t get an upload for a while I worry about how you’re doing in these crazy times but turns out you were just being a STAR and putting together these awesome comprehensive videos!
I use Superdrug products. All of Superdrug's own brand products are suitable for vegetarians, vegans and are not tested on animals
Quarantine has been the perfect time for me to start washing my hair once a week since I work from home and no one can see how greasy I am. I'm now at the point where I can go longer than a week which I never thought I could do!
ok can I just say that I absolutely adore your curls?🥰As someone who has waves, sometimes I just wanna have your voluminous curls, not my flat waves Imao!🥴😘
Ah thank you so much! I'm sure your hair is beautiful ❤️
Sustainably Vegan 😘😘Feels good to hear that
I highly recommend the book "There's Lead In Your Lipstick" by Gillian Deacon. In the book she talks about the harmful toxins and chemicals in our everyday beauty products. She also recommends many different eco friendly alternatives as well is stuff you can make yourself. It's a really good read.
I noticed that you mentioned The Body Shop's range of aloe products. I've been concerned about the ethics of the brand since I discovered that they have an MLM component--The Body Shop at Home, and haven't purchased from them for several years because of this. Do you still recommend them?
0:37 Hyram is only a self-proclaimed specialist, he doesn't actually have any formal education in dermatology or anything of that sort. I advise you to do some research on him - there is a lot of disingenuity, bad faith and hypocrisy both in the products he sells and in his own brand. From greenwashing to non-consensually using images of African children to promote his brand (who don't even have access to his products or are the target audience to his brand)... it's really aggravating stuff, especially considering what he so much preaches about (his famous "I was a humanitarian... and I regret it" video is the epitome of this). He puts on this sweet exterior, but, from everything that I've read about him... he doesn't seem to be a good person.
Hum, I’d be careful about washing your hair just once every two weeks while living in London. Even if hair don’t get greasy, think about all the dust, car pollution and other ugly stuff that lands on our hair in a big city...
I was surprised when she said that too, but then I remembered my old housemate who had really curly hair, normally washed it once a week. She always complained about it being too dry. It was just normal for her to not wash it regularly and she was not zero waste or eco-conscious at all. So maybe it's a bit like that. But I do get what you mean by gunk and pollution building up. No danger of that happening now though XD
I have curly hair like Immy and I only wash mine once a week as well. I think us curly ladies wash our hair less because it tends to be very dry
With the soap bars - please, please PLEASE use a soap dish or something that has holes in the bottom so that the water will drain properly, the soap won't get too moist and will last you much longer!
Really great list! A lot of these tips corroborate what I found when doing my own research too. Beauty is such a tricky issue since the cosmaceutical industry can say soooo much not-quite-true stuff (or down right lies) since they’re not as regulated as medical products so we really do have to do our own research and not take beauty companies at their word (whether they are “natural” or not).
Thanks for sharing Nicole! Yezzzz completely agree with all of this!!
I love that you included things like drinking water and eating greens! Helps you be beautiful from the inside out!
Great list Immy! I love that you acknowledge how not everyone can do everything and that taking steps is the main part.
I'd say use a crystal nail file rather than a stainless steel one. It's less harsh on the nails and you can go in both directions. They're a bit pricey but worth the investment!
Again, another investment is an epilator. Epilating is a great option and easier to do than waxing/sugaring but lasts just as long.
I love Cruelty Free Kitty to check up on whether brands are cruelty free. It costs money to get Leaping Bunny certification so though it's a quick way to check it might restrict you unneccessarily.
YAAAAS you’re a Hyram fan!!! ❤️❤️
And it’s awesome to see a balanced routine! When I started to be more sustainable I definitely went a little crazy with the diy and minimalism and was not treating my skin and hair the best way!
I am learning to find more balance now and researching ethical, cruelty free and high quality brands to make sure I only buy what I need, what will work for me, and what I will use till the end! Thanks for the brand suggestions btw!🥰
I loved it! ❤️ I really love that you care about sustainablility and also have science based information about skincare! Unfortunately, it is rare that these two things meet... I loved your recommendation for example to to avoid essential oils because of the possible irritations that it can cause. YES, natural is not always means that it is better! Also its important that you recommended scrubs only for the body and not for the face, they can be too harsh to use on the face. The most important: suncreen, yes! Spread useful information :) About the diy turmeric face mask: in one of Hyram's reaction videos a guy used it and his face was stained yellow, so be careful. Keep going, you make such professional videos with important informations! Also i love that you mentioned Hyram, he is the best when it comes to skincare, very reliable information that he shares and he also cares about sustainability!
Another good thing to look for in sunscreen is that its reef safe. Also adding sugar to your cleanser is a good exfoliant for sensitive skin cause it dissolves after a while so you cant over exfoliate or strip your face/body.
My skin care prodat
1.aloe vera gel
2.cool water
3.ice
4.salt water
5.sleeping in mokrofiber or silk fabric pillow case
6.wash face after wake up
7.drink many water
8. baby powder
9.baby face cream
10.love your face.
Sorry for my stupid english.
I just tried a black tea rinse, it helps fight skin inflammation, maybe just as an add-on :)
I also love exfoliating with coffee (I dont drink it, but I sneak the grounds from my boyfriend) or oats!
There are so many amazing tips in this video! My skin got so much better once I started using simpler, more natural products-but I reaaaally need to start wearing sunscreen on my face 😬
Hi great video, I live in wales uk and Faith in nature is soo expensive, I've been making my own shampoo / body wash for years, using castille soap and vegetable glycerin. Only wash hair once a week.
I’ve been using my stainless steel nail file for years!!! My mom got some as stocking stuffers one Christmas and I’ve never looked back. They just feel and perform better than the typical long nail files for me. I could never get myself to consistently use a file before. Can not recommend them enough!
I havent watched your videos (or any simillar) for a while because I was living at home and had done mostly everything I could. Now that Im going to college in the fall I hope to take the next step.
