As intimidating as that may sound, we’re here to assure you that you can start small and get as involved as you want to be. There are plenty of organizations to get involved in, as well as simple beauty swaps and choices you can make to lead a more eco-conscious lifestyle. Ahead, learn how some of our favorite beauty brands are encouraging you to get involved this Earth Day, including Garnier’s ongoing beauty empties recycling program and a face mask from Kiehl’s supporting Earth Day Cleanup 2019.
