If when you think of ecological and ethical fashion and beauty products you imagine something very expensive, boring, too hippy or gray, take good note of the advice of Nathalia Orquera (@ everconscious.co), an activist for sustainable fashion and the care of environment, which collects in his Instagram account the keys to leading a more sustainable life without giving up your style and your passion for fashion and beauty.

"The most important thing is not to feel overwhelmed and to think that everything must be replaced at the same time," he explains to those who are thinking of joining this increasingly popular way of life. “To avoid waste and to be a conscious consumer, replace products that are about to expire, the almost empty ones and the ones you use most frequently like body lotion, deodorant, toothpaste and shampoo. […] Many natural brands are also aware of their packaging and the end of their useful life”.

That is why Orquera recommends brands such as Meow Meow Tweet, Aether Beauty, Cupid and Pshyche or LOLI that promote composting, recycling or reuse of their packaging.

And when do we talk about fashion? The influencer is clear: the most ecological is what you already have in your closet. “Before buying something new, look for items that you haven't used in a long time and combine them with different accessories. You can shorten a skirt or remove the sleeves from a jacket and become a "new" vest. If she really wants to reward you with something new, buy second hand, "she recommends.

According to Orquera, the second-hand market is expected to go all the way and declare with your money that you care about the environment. Another way is to support brands that are ethical or sustainable and invest in timeless pieces. My trick is to follow them and subscribe to them, if an article that I like is not in my budget, I will wait until it goes on sale. The garments without season can be worn at any time of the year!”.
