Is your beauty routine environment-friendly?

Want to leave a safe planet for your children? If yes, then here are some tips to make your beauty routine more environment-friendly.

Be it make-up or hair styling, women spend hours in front of the mirror to get it right without thinking about its impact on the environment.

Here's a list of small changes that can collectively make an impact not only on your electricity bills and water usage, but also to the environment, reports femalefirst.co.uk:

Avoid hot showers and turn off the water: Hot water is capable of damaging your skin and your hair. Hot water 'melts' the skin's natural oils, which are essential for moisture. This can make skin dry and irritated. Similarly, hot water opens up hair cuticles and removes moisture, leaving your hair feeling dry and brittle. Turn the heat down, to save on your bills. If you can, try to turn off the shower while you lather up, or at least switch off the tap when you brush your teeth, or take your make-up off.
