Multitasking. We all do it, for many different reasons. Here's a reason you might not have thought about: using products that have multiple purposes is better for the planet! It means you are buying less and reducing waste, two very important aspects of lowering your environmental footprint.
The beauty aisle is a great place to look for multitasking products. Next time you are shopping for personal care or cosmetics, look for a power product that can do the job of 2 or 3 individual products. Here are some of my personal faves:

What are your favorite multitasking beauty products?
(Full Disclosure: I was sent free samples of these products in exchange for my honest opinion.)
I saw the revolution product on a video and loved its multi-tasking concept. Do you love it?

Organic Jojoba oil and Organic Coconut oil (I use them interchangeably) are the most multi-tasking products in my beauty routine. I use one nightly as an eye make-up remover,general facial moisturizer and to smooth frizzy hair. I love them both- it just depends on what I have on hand at any given time.

Hi Anna, Yes - I've been using the Revolution Organics beauty balm and I love it! Both the sunkissed (warm, brownish) and the blushed (pink) work for me. The color is very transparent - it just adds a nice glow to your skin!

Great point Lisa - plain old jojoba oil and coconut oil do so much on their own - who needs fancy products? I also love almond oil!

All in all a great post and I am glad I found it :) And yeah I too love blushed (pink) for daily wear.
