Chances are, you've read, seen or heard the devastating statistics about plastic and how it's essentially ruining our world. When you drink a water and toss it in the trash instead of the recycling bin, it ends up in a landfill, which can eventually lead it to our waterways. Did you know that eight million metric tons of plastic winds up in our oceans each year? Holy. Moly.

While you can do your part to help change this, you are only one person. We need large corporations to start taking these statistics into consideration to help the planet, and that's just what some of our favorite beauty brands are doing. Companies like LUSH and RMS Beauty are working to push recycling (If you return five empty, fully used containers to LUSH, you get a free face mask!) and pop their products into containers that can be more easily recycled than plastic.

As a beauty enthusiast, you can help make a change by opting for plastic-free beauty products. Nervous about doing so? Trust us, it's easier now than ever. We've rounded up some of our favorite beauty products created sans plastic to help you flip the switch. Check them out ahead.
