Did you know it’s not just the things we put in our body that can be vegan? It’s also what we put on our body.
From skincare to makeup to clothes, there are plenty of options to be more environmentally friendly. We know that changing your diet might not be the easiest thing to do, especially if you’re cooking for more than yourself.
But swapping out your beauty products for vegan ones can also be a massive help to our planet.
Skincare is the biggest beauty trend right now. So we’ve picked five gorgeous vegan skincare products that we here at VIP HQ can’t live without!
Skin Proud – Secure the Barrier – Skin Barrier Support Cream – €16.95
A lightweight and nourishing cream that helps the skin maintain moisture whilst protecting and supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
It has an active urban shield complex which is kind to skin by helping it protect against the damaging effects of environmental aggressors.
The cream is packed full of a gentle blend of hydrating and restoring actives; niacinamide, squalane and ceramide.
The Body Shop – Edelweiss Daily Serum Concentrate – €27
Every bottle is enriched with double the concentration of edelweiss, which is naturally (and rather uniquely) strengthened with leontopodic acid known for its antioxidant properties.
It is enriched with natural-origin peptides too, just for good measure. Derived from rice, peptides are known to help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
This light, non-sticky, fast-absorbing formula also forms an invisible layer over your skin to help protect it from indoor and outdoor pollution (perfect for all you city types), which can lead to dehydration, dullness and premature skin ageing.
Seoulista – Wonderberry Skin Defence Instant Facial – €8.99
This product is perfect to help protect your skin from the harsh coldness and how it dries out your skin.
Packed with a potent blend of antioxidants, this facial shields your skin against the impact of sports, weather, and pollution.
The cryo-technology and biocellulose transfer system work their magic, fitting the facial contours snugly.
Dr PawPaw – Overnight Lip Mask – €9.95
The gel-like texture melts into the lips, fully absorbing for an intense lip mask treatment. With the addition of natural peptides to both plump lips and smooth any fine lines.
