bring the chill

GET READY FOR THE COOLER MONTHS WITH HYDRATING SKINCARE, PERSONALISED SCENTS AND A SPLASH OF THE LATEST AUTUMN COLOUR.

IT’S ONLY NATURAL

Australian make-up brand Inika Organic has launched a range of totally natural skincare. “We scoured the world for the most advanced, clinically proven botanical ingredients,” co-owner Sharon Rechtman says. Try Phytofuse Renew Resveratrol Serum ($99 for 30ml), or the Camellia Oil Cleanser ($59 for 100ml) with attached silicone brush to massage your skin.

FROM THE HEART

If you can’t find your perfect signature scent, you can create your own at Heartwood in Cottesloe, Western Australia. Using sustainably grown Indian sandalwood from northern Australia as the base, you add your favourite floral and botanical extracts for the ultimate personal fragrance. Heartwood Personalised Natural Eau de Parfum Fragrance ($210 for 50ml).

Set in stone

Sisters Kate Samson and Anna Hamilton created plant-based beauty brand Cedar and Stone in their kitchen in Queensland’s Currumbin Valley. For the past six years the siblings have been mixing oils, herbs and botanicals and now they’ve opened their first beautiful store in Burleigh Heads. Smooth on their bestselling The One Lemon Myrtle and Rose Face Oil ($45 for 50ml), or jump in the tub with Don’t Sweat It Cedarwood Kelp Bath Salts ($25 for 400g).

FROM THE TOP

If the heat of summer has left your strands dry and frizzy, the Aveda Nutriplenish range of shampoos, conditioners ($50 each for 250ml) and Multi-use Hair Oil ($41 for 30ml) is for you. Promising 72 hours of hydration, all products are 94 per cent naturally derived, vegan and silicone-free.

HOME, SWEET HOME

Embrace spending more time indoors by adding uplifting, soothing scents to your home. In Essence aromatherapy expert Pat Princi-jones suggests diffusing two drops of lemongrass with four drops of orange essential oils to refresh and relax. Use In Essence Lemongrass Pure Essential Oil ($24.95 for 8ml), and Orange Pure Essential Oil ($19.95 for 8ml).

At first blush

Warm up your cheeks and lips with the new autumn colours from Clarins, including this Joli Blush in Cheeky Baby 01 ($45) with hydrating hazelnut oil, and Natural Lip Perfector in Intense Maple 17 ($32) with nourishing shea butter.

OFF THE LAND

Bursting with native ingredients such as banksia, desert lime and muntrie berry, the new body range from Natio will keep your skin glowing and nourished through the cooler months. Inhale the uplifting aromas in their Lemon Myrtle and Banksia Body Wash ($15.95 for 500ml), Desert Lime and Salt Coffee Scrub ($16.95 for 300g), Lemon Ironbark and Olive Hand Wash ($14.95 for 500ml) and Hemp and Muntrie Hardworking Hand Cream ($10.95 for 90g). FACT Our most frequently used muscles are around our eyes, with more than 100,000 eye movements a day. With that in mind, our eyes deserve some TLC with targeted treatments like the Dermalogica Biolumin-c Eye Serum ($115 for 15ml), which firms and brightens with a healthy dose of vitamin C.
