How To Care For Your Product Pump
Dumping The Pump and reusing any you already have is a simple idea, but one that we know will make a difference. This page contains everything you need to know about looking after your pumps so that you can use them again, and again and again across all of your beauty products.
How to reuse your pump
As one of the most simple ways to cut down on single use personal care plastic usage, reusing a pump takes no time at all. Here is a simple guide on how you can reuse your pump.
Step One: Take off your pump and wash it out with warm water, we don’t recommend adding soap because if there is any left in there you’ll be transferring it onto your skin along with your products!
Step Two: Fill your bottle up halfway with warm water and screw the pump back on top.
Step Three: Pump through the warm water to ensure that your pump is clean all the way through!
Step Four: Now you are ready to reuse your pump! Why not upcycle your bottle too to further reduce your waste? You can use it to make your own calming pillow spray!
Remember that it is important to clean your pump between uses, so please follow this easy ritual every time you finish an Evolve product!
How to maximise the usage of your pump
Whilst our pumps are built to last and should provide you with application after application of your favourite Evolve product, they are not indestructible.
When you are using your pump we recommend applying gentle pressure to it every time you use it to prevent damage. Don't worry as we have tried it too, but we can confirm that no matter how hard you press the pump it won't always help to get that last drop of product out of the bottle!
When the time comes to reuse the pump on a new bottle, make sure you are careful when removing it, washing it and placing it into the new bottle. If you look after your pump throughout this process it will help you look after your skin for months to come.
Rules for reusing a pump
We know everyone's skincare routine is different, but when it comes to reusing a pump there are a few rules we should all stick to:
- Only wash your pump with warm water. Any other items used (such as soap or washing up liquid) could then be transferred onto your skin along with your new products. Using warm water and following the method above will do the job perfectly well!
- Be gentle with the pump when cleaning to ensure it does not break.
- Make sure you have the right size pump for the bottle you are placing it into.
- Spread the word! Make sure you tell your family and friends to reuse their pumps too and help us get more people to Dump The Pump!
