THE WHAT? L’Oréal-owned Garnier has teamed up with Plastics for Change to open a plastic waste collection facility in Chennai, India, according to a report published by The Print.
THE DETAILS The center is hoping to collect some 2,000 tons of plastic that would otherwise end up littering our oceans and will empower the lives of some 2,000 people from local communities. The packaging collected will be used to produce the 100 percent recycled plastic bottles for the brand’s Ultra Doux range.
Plastic collection kiosks will be set up in 20 locations across Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi to encourage consumers to dispose of their waste responsibly.

Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
