Here are @spicymoustache’s three easy sustainable life hacks. Let us know which one you try in the comments!

1. Aloe Vera Soap 

Aloe vera soap is great for your hands, skin, and even hair! @spicymoustache says that it is a great moisturizer, can help fight skin aging, reduce acne, and helps wounds heal. This is a great way to stop throwing away hand soap bottles and reduce your waste.

2. Soy Wax

When he is home in the evening, he loves to use candles. Unfortunately, most store-bought candles contain a lot of chemicals and aren’t good to breathe in. Making your own soy candles can cut down on waste and also is much better for your health. Plus, you can add any smells or fragrances that you want! @spicymoustache likes to use flowers and herbs from his garden in the candles as well.

3. Body Scrub

Making your own body scrub is super easy and doesn’t have all the plastics and chemicals that store-bought scrubs often contain. @spicymoustache uses a cucumber for the base of his scrub. He adds sugar as the exfoliant because he says that glycolic acid is very common in skincare products, but it is found naturally in sugar. It’s safe, cheap, and super effective!
