Everything Estée Lalonde uses in her morning routine
During Marie Claire's first ever Sustainability Festival in partnership with Garnier and Vanish, Estée Lalonde and I had a natter about our morning and evening routines and what little steps we can all take to make our regimens more green.
We learnt about Garnier's 100% plastic-free Shampoo Bars, which products are easy to recycle (and which ones are not) and why reusable cotton pads are an easy way to start somewhere on your sustainable beauty journey.
Estée is known for her natural glow, so unsurprisingly, lots of you wanted the full list of everything she uses in her morning routine.
Estée Lalonde's morning routine
Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water, £6.99 | Feelunique
One of the best micellar waters on the market, Lalonde uses this to perk up her skin in the morning as the first step in her skincare routine.
Garnier Skin Active Micellar Reusable Eco Pads, £8.99 | Lookfantastic
If you're looking to make your beauty regime more green, then this is the perfect way to start. Swap your wipes and single-use cotton wool pads for these super soft reusable eco pads. They can be easily washed with soap and water and then for a deeper clean, pop them in your washing machine once a week.
Garnier Moisture Bomb Eye Tissue Mask with Orange Juice and Hyaluronic Acid, £299 | Lookfantastic
To brighten up the eye area, Lalonde uses these hydrating and brightening eye masks. They are completely compostable so after you use them, you can chuck them into your food bin.
Tata Harper Essence Mist, £63 | Cult Beauty
Lalonde has dry skin, so this mist adds a much need moisture boost to her skin ahead of the rest of her routine.
Biosannce Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream, £46 | Cult Beauty
Squalane is another hydrating ingredient to be aware of if you have dry skin.
Oskia Isotonic Hydra Serum, £78 | SpaceNK
Thirsty skin will drink up this hydration-boosting serum containing the must-have ingredient hyaluronic acid.
Augustinus Bader The Cream, £205 | SpaceNK
Lalonde loves this ultra nourishing cream just as much as we do.
Garnier Ambre Solaire Super UV Anti Dark Spots & Anti Pollution Face Fluid SPF50+, £7 | Boots
Lalonde loves how light this facial SPF is. It protects against UVA and UVB and a particular selling point for her was that it tackles pigmentation and dark spots.
Glossier Stretch Concealer, £15 | Glossier
Lalonde applies a light layer of Glossier Stretch Concealer to her under eyes, chin and around her nose.
Kjaer Weis Cream Blush, £36 | Feelunique
Not only does she use this blush to add colour to her complexion, across the cheeks, but she also dabs in ever so slightly onto her eyelids.
YSL Couture Brow Gel, £23 | Lookfantastic
Lalonde fills her brows in with YSL's brow gel.
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer, £36 | SpaceNK
For a touch of glow, this cruelty-free highlighter is Lalonde's go-to.
Fenty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, £17 | Harvey Nichols
Lalonde loves to finish off her routine with Fenty Beauty's gloss.
