Let’s face it—building a skincare routine that actually works can feel overwhelming. With countless products and “miracle” ingredients crowding the shelves, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters: healthy, happy skin and a healthy, happy planet.

At Plastic Free Pursuit, we believe in sustainable beauty—effective skincare that doesn’t cost the Earth. That’s why we’re proud to feature UpCircle: a brand that creates high-performance products using repurposed ingredients. From coffee grounds to fruit water, nothing goes to waste.

Ready to build a clean, conscious skincare routine that delivers real results? Here’s how you can do it using just four incredible UpCircle products.

Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate with UpCircle Floral Blend Face Scrub 

Your routine should always start with a good cleanse—and when you’re using a product like the UpCircle Floral Blend Face Scrub, you’re doing much more than just removing dirt. This gentle scrub is formulated specifically for sensitive skin and combines Arabica coffee grounds with soothing chamomile, hydrating jojoba oil, and anti-inflammatory rosehip oil.

Use it 2–3 times a week to slough off dead skin cells, unclog pores, and restore radiance without stripping away natural oils. The calming blend of geranium and patchouli essential oils also helps reduce redness, making it perfect for those dealing with acne, rosacea, or irritation.

🌿 Why it works:

• Stimulates cell renewal

• Reduces redness and irritation

• Rehydrates with jojoba oil

• Made with repurposed coffee grounds = zero waste hero

Step 2: Tone & Refresh with UpCircle Face Toner

After exfoliating or cleansing, your skin is primed for hydration. The UpCircle Face Toner delivers a powerful hit of moisture with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, both known to plump and brighten your skin. What sets this toner apart? It’s made with green mandarin fruit water (a by-product of juicing) and chamomile stem extract (a by-product of tea production)—turning waste into skincare gold.

A few spritzes morning and night help restore your skin's natural pH, reduce inflammation, and prep your face for serum or moisturizer.

🌿 Why it works:

• Boosts skin hydration without heaviness

• Calms and soothes sensitive skin

• 100% recyclable packaging—plastic nozzle and all

• Free from palm oil, SLS, parabens, and sulfates

Step 3: Nourish with UpCircle Organic Face Serum

Here’s where your routine turns into a ritual. The UpCircle Organic Face Serum is a silky blend of jojoba, sea buckthorn, and rosehip oils, delicately scented with geranium, rose, and lemon essential oils. It’s rich in vitamin C and antioxidant-packed coffee oil, helping to fade dark spots, boost collagen, and firm your skin.

Apply a few drops after toner both morning and night to lock in moisture and keep your skin glowing.

🌿 Why it works:

• Brightens and evens skin tone

• Enhances skin elasticity

• Coffee oil from repurposed grounds = more sustainability, less waste

• Suitable for all skin types

Lock in Moisture with UpCircle Organic Lip Balm

No skincare routine is complete without caring for your lips. Organic Lip Balm from 8 Sheep Organics is all-natural, and made using—you guessed it—NO harmful chemicals. Choose from peppermint, lavender, or unscented (no essential oils) options and apply throughout the day or before bed to keep lips soft, smooth, and hydrated.

🌿 Why it works:

• Nourishes lips with clean, non-toxic ingredients

• Long-lasting moisture

• Zero-waste packaging, 100% recyclable
