Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
Pimple emergency? Ball out! If squeezing zits just doesn't work for you and your skin barrier (or result in a cluster of whiteheads emerging), you need the COSRX AHA 2 BHA 2 Blemish Treatment Serum. No rubbing or touching required! These serum-soaked cotton balls are strong and deeply exfoliating. They use glycolic acid and gluconolactone to fade scarring, salicylic acid to unblock pores, and zinc PCA to clarify and treat inflammation. It's not harsh or excessively drying, thanks to the addition of soothing allantoin and hyaluronic acid. The end result? Pimples stopped in their tracks and smaller breakouts.

Use this serum any time you feel a pimple coming on.
Using clean hands and a clean pair of tweezers, take one of the cotton balls out and dab on the affected area.
DO NOT skip your SPF when using this product! Because it contains AHAs, your skin will be extra vulnerable to UV rays. Be good to it and wear a high protection sunscreen during the day.
