Veganuary is here
Every year a lot of people switch to vegan for the month of January. If ditching cheese seems like too much, then you can always switch to vegan and cruelty free makeup products. I know January can be a tight month so I have included some budget options.

Dermalogica
Choose a conscious exfoliator like Dermalogica’s Daily Milkfolaint (13g €18 or 74g €69) which is an oat-based powder exfoliant and polishes to reveal smoother, more vibrant skin, replenishes and supports skin’s barrier, and relieves skin with calming ingredients.
Offering both a polishing and restorative treatment, Daily Milkfoliant is proven to calmly exfoliate skin. This vegan milky powder exfoliant with oat and coconut is activated by water. Upon mixing Daily Milkfoliant with water, it transforms into a creamy, frothy lather that releases botanical extracts, to help polish away dead skin cells. As a result of the calming ingredient blend, it can be safely used daily, for soft, smooth skin every day.
