Your Clean to Planet Glowing Skin Routine with David Delport
Small changes can have large impact when it comes to sustainability! For example, when we removed the pump mechanism in our new Summer Limited Edition Daily AHA Tonic, (replacing it with a recyclable pouring nozzle) it was calculated to have saved 4.2 tonnes of plastic from landfill and incineration in 2021* alone. As a manufacturer of cosmetics, we’re conscious that around 70% of cosmetic packaging ends up in landfill which is why REN is the first cosmetic brand to commit to be Zero Waste in packaging by the end of 2021. This means all packaging will either be recyclable, reusable, or made from previously recycled material. We believe in putting planet before profit and the expense of this project is rightly being absorbed by our company – not by our clients. All we do is ask you please recycle!
Here is my personal waste-free* routine that I rely on to keep my skin healthy and glowing using a few real hero products known for their powerful (yet gentle) results:
AM Skincare routine
PM Skincare routine
Expert tips and advice:
- When in doubt as to what to use AM and PM, remember that AM should be about products that offer protection via SPF and antioxidants, and PM should be about renewal and pro-ageing ingredients. Protect in the day, boost at night!
Try using the Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Cleanser as a massage balm for your facial gua sha before adding water to remove. It can also be left on skin for 10 minutes as a hydrating oil mask. - Sensitive skin or new to AHAs? Dampen your reusable cotton round with water before applying the Glow Tonic to ease your skin into AHA usage.
Targeting dark circles and puffiness is 50% product and 50% application in my opinion!
