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
We're not sure why it's called the Surprise H Patch, but these hydrocolloid pimple patches are top class. They do everything a good pimple patch is supposed to do - they adhere well, protect the affected area, absorb pus and help prevent re-infection. What we willsay though, is that these are incredibly subtle, almost invisible when worn. It's on par with the Clear Fit patch from COSRX, but unlike the COSRX classic, these ones come in different sizes - handy when you're trying to cover those tiny but annoying whiteheads.

Product of Korea.
Kanvas Beauty is proud to be an official stockist of TIA'M in Australia & New Zealand.
Ideal for all kinds of acne - especially pustules and whiteheads.
Thoroughly clean and dry zit area. Any moisture will interfere with the adherence. You can pop the pimple with clean hands or a sterile pimple popper if it's 'ready', otherwise just proceed straight to covering it.
Apply the patch with the zit in the centre, and press on firmly. Replace once it turns white (that's the pus absorption - gross but fascinating).
Precautions:
Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.
