With the nationwide water interruptions bothering our cities for a few weeks and the heat of summer drawing upon us, it's time to do our part and be mindful of the ways we use water.

Practical beauty tips to help conserve water

Here are few easy and practical ways to help conserve water and keep your beauty at its best.

Use micellar water to cleanse your face

When removing makeup it's important to note that tap water can only do so much to keep your face clean and makeup-free. Instead, choose micellar water to breakdown all the gunk with zero irritation. It contains no alcohol and feels just like regular water.

Dry shampoo

Clean your locks with dry shampoo instead of having multiple showers in a day. This product will remove the oil and grease from your hair and will even add a bit of volume.

Opt to use a mug when brushing teeth

Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or while shaving. There's no reason to keep it running in the first place. Turning off the tap can save up to 200 gallons of water per month. Use a cup to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth.

For the meantime, use a bucket and a pail

Did you know that the average 10-minute shower uses anywhere from 25-70 gallons of water? So if you can't shorten your shower in half, opt to use a bucket and a pail instead.

Every minute you cut off from your shower saves at least two gallons. Plus, you can use the excess water for other things like watering your plants.
