Tools & Accessories

A set of 10 to 16 rounds is sufficient for most skincare routines. Using two rounds per day (morning and evening), a set of 14 gives a full week's supply before washing. Most people wash their rounds weekly with regular laundry. They last two to four years of regular use.

Wash weekly with a small amount of gentle shampoo or natural soap, working through the bristles with fingers rather than rubbing on a surface. Rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and dry flat or bristles-down. Never soak the brush handle in water, which loosens the glue holding bristles. A clean brush applies product more evenly and lasts longer.

A gua sha is a smooth flat tool used to massage the face and neck using gentle scraping motions. Used with a facial oil, it promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness, and can improve facial contour with regular use. Jade and rose quartz are traditional materials. Gua sha tools are available from beauty and wellness stores in NZ. Use with a natural facial oil from the EcoWarehouse skincare range for best results.

Facial rollers provide gentle massage that stimulates circulation and reduces puffiness, particularly when used cold from the fridge. The lymphatic drainage benefit is modest but real with consistent use. The main benefit for most users is better absorption of the facial oil or serum applied before rolling. Facial rollers are available from beauty stores in NZ.

Reusable cotton rounds (replace disposable pads), natural bristle makeup brushes (long-lasting, biodegradable), reusable silicone makeup sponges (replace disposable wedges), and metal eyelash curlers (last indefinitely) are the most sustainable alternatives to conventional disposable makeup tools.
