WHY CHOOSE VEGAN SKINCARE?
Vegan skincare products are characterised by their elimination of animal-derived ingredients or byproducts. Additionally, cruelty-free products mean it has not been tested on animals, which holds just as much moral value. As a result, vegan and cruelty-free products are usually made from natural ingredients; meaning they tend to be gentler on your skin, and less likely to aggravate skin conditions. Consequently, vegan products offer higher quality than it's non-vegan counterparts. Furthermore, vegan brands often vouch for utilising recycled products for their packaging meaning that the clogging of landfills can be reduced, which is vital for the sustainability of our planet.

TOP TIPS FOR
GOING
VEGAN BY ELLEN PRIZEMAN
H
ave you been thinking about going vegan for a while now but just need a little nudge? Because what about bacon?! I’ve been vegan for over a year and a half
12
now and if 3 years ago you had said to me “you’ll be vegan and never want to eat meat again,”… I would have laughed. Hard. I was a big meat and cheese fan. My transition to a vegan lifestyle
didn’t happen instantly. It was a slow process which took about 4 months. I started by being pescatarian, then vegetarian and then vegan apart from a cheese pizza on a Saturdayuntil I really didn’t want that cheese pizza anymore. Which brings me to my first tip...
1
Don't have to rush and become vegan overnight
In my experience, trying to cut out all the foods you once loved and relied on will only amount to giving up. Plus, you’ll probably still have some kind of animal product left in your fridge or cupboard and throwing it away would be wasteful. So finish them and slowly introduce more plantbased foods into your diet.
2
Watch documentaries
Some of the films I watched at the start of my vegan journey (if you will) were hard hitting and sometimes difficult to watch. I can not stand seeing any animal being mistreated. However, that is the reality of the industries we no longer want to contribute to. I recommend watching, if you haven’t already seen them: Earthlings, What The Health, The Game Changers, Cowspiracy and Forks Over Knives. 13
Cooking at home is cheaper and can be a lot of fun. I follow a lot of plant-based food accounts on Instagram and this helps give me new ideas when I’ve fallen into a cooking rut. The variety of dishes and flavours that can be created using only plantbased ingredients still amazes me. I’m a sucker for traditional, comfort food and so vegan Spaghetti Bolognese is one of my favourites to make. And not to blow my own trumpet but it tastes even better now that I use The Meatless Farm Co meat-free mince. Bolognese is also a great one to batch cook and freeze for a rainy day.

Don’t be tough on yourself.
If there’s a day where you eat a bit of chocolate or cheese, don’t feel like it’s a mistake or that you have failed. Each new day is a chance to improve on yourself and work out what works best for you and, like with any diet, it’s important that you get all the vitamins and minerals.

Take Vegan supplements
This just makes sure you’re not unknowingly lacking in anything. For vegans, lacking in Vitamin B12 is a common occurrence which can make you feel a bit tired. Although a B12 deficiency is also common in meat-eaters as well, so don’t let that put you off. Just because someone eats meat and dairy it does not equate
to eating a balanced diet. Cutting out animal products has so many health benefits. Since making the decision to be vegan I haven’t looked back. I feel healthier and happier. Knowing I’m doing my best to make a difference to our planet is a great feeling and it beats any bacon sandwich you may think you’ll crave. Between you and me...

YOU
KNOW?
Our skin absorbs up to 60% of the products we apply to it – it’s a scary thought if those products are synthetic, processed and full of preservatives, chemicals and toxins. Animal ingredients can be harsh and clog pores, so vegan products are a soothing alternative. What’s more, the plant-derived ingredients in many vegan formulas contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to repair and hydrate the skin. Additionally, vegan products are often rich in vitamins filled with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
• In 2018, the vegan food industry recorded 20% growth over the previous year. • Our skin absorbs 60% of products applied to it. • A vegan product means it is void of any animal ingredient. • Not every cruelty-free product is vegan. • Vegan skincare products contain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 16

2019
was dubbed ‘The Year of The Vegan’ and by now a quarter of millennials identify as vegan or vegetarian. Whatever your views on the vegan diet might be, you may still want to consider more deeply about
28
what you’re putting on your face. Our skin absorbs around 60% of the products we apply to it, so it’s probably a good idea that we research carefully into what we want to slather on. Common animal-derived ingredients used in beauty
products include lanolin (grease secreted by glands of woolbearing animals), squalene (shark liver oil), allantoin (cow urine), carmine (crushed beetles), gelatine (frequently pig bones, tendons or ligaments) and ambergris (whale vomit). Sound nice? I don’t think so. There are so many more wholesome vegan alternatives that don’t leave you feeling repulsed. What’s worse is that the use of animal ingredients have not been proven to be superior or necessary in the manufacturing of beauty items. In fact, animal ingredients can
clog pores and generally be harsh on the skin. While vegan products can actually be better for you. This is especially true if your skin is sensitive. So what does it mean for beauty products to be vegan? Well, it means there are absolutely no animal ingredients present. Whereas when a product is cruelty-free, it means that no animals were tested on or harmed in the making of the product. An easy way to decide whether a product ticks both of these boxes is to look for the Vegan and Leaping 29
Bunny logos. The majority of animal testing occurs on the ingredient level. Therefore with the Leaping Bunny logo you can
natural ingredients include vitamins A, C and E, natural oils (such as coconut, argan and rosehip), soybean and hemp

be 100% sure that no animal testing has occurred. Plantderived ingredients contain far more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which hydrate and repair your skin. Your skin will only thrive being exposed to natural, vegan ingredients. Vegan beauty products, just like a vegan diet, are also beneficial in reducing environmental damage and promoting kindness towards animals. Great

seed extracts, and algae. Many of these ingredients have been used for hundreds of years and for a variety of beneficial purposes. In 2020 there is no need to exploit animals, many big companies are already making the change. The future of the beauty industry is vegan and cruelty-free. Explore more on cult.cohorted.co.uk
