Going Vegan for January? We’ve ‘Guac’ You
After an overindulgent Christmas and New Year, many of us will be wanting to make a positive, healthy change come January 1st, from going sober for the month to embracing Veganuary. But whilst going vegan for the month does mean giving up meat, there’s actually more to it than that.
More often than not, many of the everyday products that we use absentmindedly have ingredients from animals or aren’t always cruelty-free. So, before you ‘kale’ it quits, we’re here to help you keep up your beauty routine and keep your mane tamed, with a definitive list of cruelty-free, plastic-free, and vegan products to keep your Veganuary animal-free.

Why You Should Keep Using Vegan Products After Veganuary
Many people around the world are taking part in Veganuary this year. Veganuary and being vegan isn’t just about reducing the meat that you consume. You also need to be willing to make changes in your lifestyle including only buying vegan products. While many people only do Veganuary for one month, we think that buying vegan products should be something that you try for a lot longer – even if you go back to eating meat.
Find out some of the reasons to continue using vegan products after Veganuary below!
Cruelty-Free
One of the great things about vegan products is that you can be sure that they have not been tested on animals. The last thing you want is for your hair products to be made in a way that harms animals if you are living a vegan lifestyle. If cruelty-free products are something you are interested in, then choosing vegan products in the future makes it easier! Some products that aren’t vegan will be cruelty-free as well so this is something to consider if you can’t commit to being a vegan year-round.
Fewer Chemicals
When we choose hair or beauty products, we don’t want to have to deal with any harsh chemicals. Usually, you’ll find that vegan products are free from harsh chemicals and can be quite gentle on the skin. This is because they are more natural. While this isn’t guaranteed, you will find that most of our vegan products are good for you!
Your Skin Can Be Softer
Vegan products are usually loaded up with Vitamins B and E which you don’t always get in other products. These vitamins can help to keep your hair and skin softer for longer! Check out if your favourite vegan products include these in the ingredients and you can benefit from this. Imagine how great it would be to have soft skin for the entire 2020!
Natural Ingredients
When you continue to use vegan products for your hair or skin after Veganuary, you will find that you are using much more natural ingredients on your skin. Some of the common ingredients in vegan products include chamomile and tea tree. These are great for clearing up acne and helping to look after your skin generally.
Try Our Vegan Products
If you are nearly finished with Veganuary then it might be time to start thinking about becoming a full-time vegan. This lifestyle can be hard to adjust to at first but it can be very rewarding. If you are thinking about extending Veganuary for a few more months, make sure to check out our range of vegan products here at Salon Trusted!
