If, like me, you can’t help but feel a bit blue when you get to the end of your favourite lotion or potion, you’ll be pleased to hear that the bottom of the tub now has a silver lining.

On the lunchtime to-do list this week is taking all my empties along to the nearest Origins counter. As part of Origins’ Return to Nature recycling programme, WasteCare will carefully recycle what would have gone in the bathroom bin, and in return recyclers get a lovely Origins skincare sample. Keeping all that plastic out of landfill sites will soothe my conscience and a little Origins treat will no doubt please my skin: all of which makes me feel a little bit better about running out. 

Do the same by finding your nearest Origins counter at Origins.co.uk
