How to Make Your Skincare Routine More Sustainable (Without Doing the Most)
Share
Small swaps we’re making—and how you can too.
Let’s be real for a sec—Fabyoulife isn’t a zero-waste, eco-certified, unicorn-sustainable brand. But we are intentional. We care. And Earth Day felt like the perfect time to pull y’all into how we’re doing a little better on purpose.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being mindful. Thoughtful. And making soft choices that feel good and do good. Here’s how we’re doing it—plus some small changes you can make too.
1. Bar soap is for more than the first wash. Listen… bar soap been luxury. Our bars are handmade with skin-loving ingredients so they are like skincare, but for your body. They are carry on approved, lather better, and don’t come with a wasteful plastic pump that’ll end up in a landfill.
Try this: Ditch the body wash and keep a Clarity Bar or White Peach in your shower. You’ll feel the difference and your skin will thank you.
2. Don’t toss the ice pack—reuse it. To keep your body butters cool and cute in warmer temps, we started adding ice packs to summer orders. But those little things? They’re reusable. So don’t throw ‘em away!
What to do with them:
Toss one in your lunch bag
Use it for puffed up eyes in the morning
Keep it for cramps or sore days
Sustainability, but make it soft life-approved.
3. Our packing peanuts melt (literally) Yes, they’re cute. But even better? They dissolve in water. No toxic chemicals, no guilt—just run them under the faucet and boom. Gone.
Soft life tip: Pour a glass of wine and let them melt in the sink like a lil science project.
4. Reuse your jars like the creative baddie you are Our body butter jars are way too useful to toss.
Try this:
Use for travel or to stash your earrings
Store hair ties, Q-tips, cotton rounds, or vitamins
DIY a scrub
We’re not here to guilt trip you. But we are here to encourage small swaps that make sense.
Because when you’re intentional with what you use on your body, you naturally start thinking about the impact beyond your mirror.
You don’t have to do everything. Just start somewhere. And if that somewhere is with a juicy body butter and a bar of soap that doesn’t mess up the planet in the process? Then baby, you’re already on the right path.
