Luxury Skincare – without the plastic Luxurious and eco-
friendly skincare is not a dream – it’s a reality at Dancing Barefoot. Their plastic-free and vegan online store features hundreds of sustainable skincare products, all of which contain no plastic – inside or out – and are all made of vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. New in store this month is Purity’s Pink Clay Face Mask, a creamy exfoliating face mask that cleanses and detoxifies, leaving skin feeling refreshed, brighter and more supple. And it works using just natural ingredients, without any nasty microbeads or harsh chemicals. Packaged plastic-free, it comes in recyclable glass jars. “Our eco-friendly skincare is kind to your skin and kind to the planet too,” said Dancing Barefoot founder Sarah. “Some 16 million plastic bottles are thrown away in the UK every year – many of them used for toiletries and cosmetics. With each plastic-free purchase we make, we can help reduce this plastic waste.” www.dancing-barefoot.com
