Carmex Lip Balm Gets an Environmentally-Friendly Makeover

In a world where how "green" you are is as important (if not more) as how good you look, it can be difficult finding beauty products that fit the bill.
by

In a world where how "green" you are is as important (if not more) as how good you look, it can be difficult finding beauty products that fit the bill. Sure, more and more brands are jumping on the environmentally-friendly bandwagon, but sometimes you just can't go past an old reliable. Which is why it's always good to hear about a cult fave getting its green on. Carmex has made a change to the bottom of its iconic yellow jar and now that it has a deeper indent, it uses 20 percent less plastic, saving a huge 35 tonnes in freight shipping which makes a big dent in its carbon footprint. You can check out its new environmentally-friendly packaging in store now.

Kirsten Dunst and Dakota Fanning were just some of the celebs braving the chilly English Summer to take in the tennis at Wimbledon yesterday. And no doubt they joined the masses in snacking on the traditional treat of strawberries and cream while watching a match. But you needn't jet all the way to London to enjoy a strawberrylicious beauty snack — just check out these sweet face, bath and body treats that have been infused with strawberry. The fruit is great for skin as it's packed with antioxidants and fruit acids, which help to refine the texture of the skin. Start off your day with a lightweight lotion from The Body Shop and use Kit's richbody butter before bed. Keep lips in tip-top condition with Carmex's lip balm and revive dull skin with Mario Badescu's strawberry scrub. Finish with Lush's massage bar and your skin will be glowing before you can say "new balls, please."
