If you're making it a mission to be more sustainable this year [1], one easy way to start is by switching up your beauty routine. As we go through products more often than we like to admit, we're constantly throwing away plastic bottles, cotton balls and swabs. Luckily, now there a ton of more eco-friendly alternatives [2] that'll help you cut down on waste, and reduce what makes it into a landfill.

From bamboo toothbrushes to a reusable cotton swaps, and refillable bottles [4], we have a feeling you won't leave empty-handed. Keep reading to shop them all.
