To save water
Without having to miss out on a moment of well-being in the bathroom, you can save water by adopting a few simple steps.
When brushing your teeth or shaving, for example, turn off the water tap when you don’t need it. This will save at least 18 litres. If you multiply this by the number of times you brush your teeth and/or shave, this figure will soon add up considerably.
Opt for showers over baths and turn of the water when soaping yourself. This can have a dual benefit – one for the environment and one for your skin. For the environment, you will help decrease your water consumption. Taking a shower (on average, 80 litres of water) uses up three times less water compared to having a bath. In terms of your skin, you’ll be helping to take care of it. Hard water tends to dry out the skin, excess chlorine can irritate it. By cutting out baths, your skin will have less contact with the water. We think five minutes is plenty for a shower, giving you enough time to listen to your favourite song to start the day, or finish the day feeling fresh!
