We're constantly on a mission to live a greener lifestyle, and that starts with the products we're using at home. So, when we hear a celebrity raving about a must-buy that's also eco-friendly, we're inclined to add it to our shopping baskets immediately.

Which is why we were so excited when Victoria Beckham revealed her simple, affordable, and eco-friendly make-up removing regime.

Speaking on Breaking Beauty Podcast, the fashion mogul shared how much she loves Halo's make-up wipes — and that even her youngest child, Harper, is a fan: 'I love those as make-up wipes. They're reusable and I'm obsessed with them. I use them all the time, and I take them everywhere. Harper loves them as well.'

And VB isn't the only celeb to incorporate eco-friendly products into their cleansing regime, Davina McCall has previously raved about her £9.99 bamboo cleansing pads. The HUKU pads are antibacterial, odour-resistant, anti-fungal and hard-wearing — as well as being 40% more absorbent and cleaner than cotton.

We've also included lots of other household items to help us all on our way to more eco-neutral lifestyles, from beeswax food wraps to recycled loo paper.

Victoria Beckham praised these makeup remover pads on the Breaking Beauty Podcast, confessing she is 'obsessed with them'. 

She revealed her son Brooklyn's fiancée Nicola Peltz was the one who introduced her to the brand, adding: 'the fact that you can reuse them is great, and being sustainable is key. They take off make-up really, really well. They're like magic. They're soft on your eyes, as well.'

We're sold.

Cotton pads and face wipes are amongst the worst culprits for polluting the environment, with the latter taking 100 years or more to disappear from a landfill.

Why not swap your quick skincare fixes for these bamboo-produced reusable cotton pads? 

Davina McCall raved about them in her latest podcast episode of Making The Cut, citing them as not only sustainable (they're reusable & 100% biodegradable), but also antibacterial, odour-resistant, anti-fungal and hard-wearing. As well as being 40% more absorbent and cleaner than cotton.

Simply stuff your dirty pads into the mesh bag it arrives in and throw in the wash.

You might think things like toilet paper wrapped in plastic are a necessary component of everyday life, but thanks to this innovative brand, it doesn't have to be this way.

Every roll is made from recycled toilet paper and each roll is individually wrapped in paper (for hygiene reasons) and the package arrives in cardboard. It's slightly more expensive than regular toilet paper but they do discounts for bulk buys, deliver straight to your door and 50% of their profits go towards building toilets for those in need.
