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.
