How to Build a Sustainable Self-Care Routine
Self-care isn’t just about pampering—it’s about creating space to rest, recharge, and reconnect. But often, our routines come wrapped in plastic and loaded with waste. At Some Eco, we believe your wellness shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Here’s how to build a self-care routine that’s just as kind to the Earth as it is to you.
🌿 Step 1: Rethink Your Products
Start by swapping out single-use plastics in your bathroom and vanity. Look for products that are:
- Refillable
- Bar-based (like shampoo or soap bars)
- Made with compostable or recyclable packaging
💚 Some Eco Picks:
- Bamboo toothbrushes
- Shampoo & conditioner bars
- Refillable deodorants
- Natural oils in glass dropper bottles
🧴 Step 2: Choose Natural, Non-Toxic Ingredients
Many conventional products contain parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances that are harmful to both your skin and the environment.
Instead, look for:
- Vegan formulas
- Essential oil-based scents
- Organic, plant-derived ingredients
Natural doesn’t mean less effective—it means better for you and your environment.
🛁 Step 3: Simplify Your Routine
More doesn’t always mean better. Try using multi-purpose products like:
- A balm that doubles as a moisturizer and lip conditioner
- An essential oil that works for skin, relaxation, and even cleaning
- A soap bar that’s safe for both body and face
Less clutter, less waste, and less money spent.
💆 Step 4: Make Self-Care Rituals, Not Just Routines
Build habits that feel intentional and restorative, like:
- A weekly bath soak using natural salts or essential oils
- A plastic-free skincare ritual at night
- Journaling with a compostable notebook or lighting a soy-based candle
Sustainability isn't just about the products—it’s about how you slow down and savor them.
🌱 Final Thought: Mindful Inside and Out
Sustainable self-care is about being kind to yourself and the planet at the same time. When you choose products that align with your values, you're creating a ripple effect that goes beyond your own mirror.
And remember: you don’t have to overhaul everything at once. Just start with one swap—and build from there.
