Start with what you already have — finish products before replacing them.

Give each natural deodorant at least 2 weeks before deciding if it works for you.

Look for cruelty-free and reef-safe labels when buying exfoliating products.

Boil your menstrual cup between cycles and store it in a breathable pouch — care equals longevity.

Keep your bathing products minimal — one gentle soap and a few multi-use items can do the job.

Use the Think Dirty or EWG Skin Deep app to scan products and spot harmful vs. clean ingredients.

Start small with simple recipes using 3 or fewer ingredients to ease into the habit.

Check ingredient lists for common reef-harming chemicals like avobenzone, oxybenzone, and octinoxate.

Declutter your bathroom cabinet — keep only what supports your body and peace of mind.

Store shampoo bars in a dry, well-drained soap dish to make them last longer.

Remove nylon bristles before composting bamboo handles.

Wash reusable wipes in a separate gentle load to preserve fabric.

Test natural deodorants for a week to allow your body to adjust.

Choose soaps with minimal ingredients and avoid artificial dyes.

Store blades in a blade bank for safe recycling.

Avoid foaming cleansers with sulfates — they strip skin of moisture.

Sterilize menstrual cups between cycles using boiling water or sterilizer tablets.

Wash reusable rounds in a mesh laundry bag to prevent loss.

Store lotion bars in tins or soap dishes to avoid melting messes.

Store natural lip balms in a cool place to prevent melting.

Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure for maximum effectiveness.

Clean and sanitize reusable containers before refilling to avoid contamination.

Apply perfume to pulse points for longer-lasting scent.

Rinse and air-dry loofahs after each use to prevent bacteria growth.
