has your stash of hair and beauty products gotten out of control? if products go flying every time you open your bathroom cabinet, it’s time to go back to basics and declutter your routine… before someone gets bonked on the head by a bottle of hairspray.
declutter your beauty cabinet
wondering, how do I simplify my beauty routine? the best place to start is with your haircare routine, as these products take up a whole lotta space.
check the period-after-opening symbols: flip over to the back of your beauty products and you’ll find a symbol that looks like an open jar with a number inside. this is the period-after-opening symbol that shows how many months you have to use the product before it’s past its best-before date.
take note of what you actually use: be real with yourself… are there any products that are just taking up space? products didn’t work with your hair type or are from that years-old routine you no longer follow? if you’re holding onto a bottle o’ something just for the sake of it, it might be time to part ways and claim back that real estate on your top shelf.

recycle your empties responsibly: evo bottles are currently made from green pe and we’re transitioning to pcr (post-consumer recycled) plastic so that we’re producing less virgin plastic. our bottles can be placed in your kerbside recycling bin; just make sure you keep the cap screwed on so it reaches the recycling stream too. if you’re recycling an empty spray or conditioner, make sure to remove the pump first and place it in your standard bin (or keep it for reuse)… and if you’re ever in doubt, check with your local municipality for their recycling initiatives and services.
remember, it's cool to be kind. please keep the environment front-of-mind when disposing of empty or out-of-date products. promise?
