SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY CHAT WITH GAMZE BIRAN YENİGÜN
Sustainability is living in a way that protects people and nature. Especially recently, awareness of sustainable living is increasing; It has entered the middle of the world’s most talked-about topics… If we humans continue with our current lifestyle and consumption habits, global issues such as climate change and environmental pollution will continue to emerge. There are things we can all do to prevent the world from becoming uninhabitable. We can start by adopting more conscious and environmentally sensitive consumption habits. Consciously choosing the care artifacts we use can enable us to take another positive step for the future of our world.
We talked to Gamze Biran Yenigün, who adopts an environmentally friendly and sustainable way of life, about how we can reduce our negative impact on the world, sustainability and sustainable care.
What is your intention about sustainability?
The world’s resources are limited, and we spend more than we need every day and we consume it constantly. It is in our hands to leave a more livable world to future generations and to ensure that they use these resources, and I think that everyone should take responsibility for this.
Being sustainable and environmentally friendly in all areas of life is very valuable for a smoother future. What is your approach to sustainable hair care products? What do you pay attention to when choosing your care products?
Sustainability starts with us, with the choices we make, the products we use… Let us all make choices that are sensitive to the environment and nature.
When choosing maintenance works; We should consider many aspects such as the sensitivity of the brand to the environment, the packaging being respectful to nature, the fact that the contents are natural, no animal testing, ethical production, efficient use of resources, supporting social solidarity, and waste management, and we should make our choices accordingly.
Considering that big changes happen with small steps; What are your tips to get started for those who want to adopt a sustainable understanding in their pleasantness routine?
Our first goal should be to reduce consumption, and for this, we should choose real and effective works and prevent overconsumption. Changing our habits is also a valuable step towards adopting sustainability. Instead of shampoos, solid shampoos, knitted fibers instead of nylon fibers, bamboo brushes, etc. Small steps will help us make big changes.
A strong bond has been established between you and Yves Rocher. What were the things that drew you to the brand?
I met Yves Rocher a long time ago. In a short time, it has become one of my indispensables with its works, contents and its respectful stance to nature. The fact that he always renews himself and takes great steps for the world has also strengthened the bond between us.
Yves Rocher Botanical Baume Ultra Repairing, Protective and Anti-frizz Styling Conditioner You have experienced. Can we learn about the details that caught your attention and your first impressions?
The best part of the product is that you can both care and repair your hair and shape it with a single piece of work. If you are one of those who say that one piece can do everything instead of different works, I think you will love it.
It was also a wonderful work for my damaged hair, which was dry from the sea and the sun. I also apply it at night when I go to bed, when I get out of the shower or before I leave the house, it helps me to start the day in a practical form by applying it quickly to my hair. And my hair, which is always electrified, is now soft…
