As the cooler months start to emerge its time to review your skincare routine to make sure you are protecting your skin and preparing it for the months spent enjoying winter pursuits.

Its best to introduce a change to your skincare routine gently, as the weather turns you may notice your skin changing at the same time and its best to monitor any changes to your skin as you introduce new products. When the seasons change, skin must adapt to new climate conditions. By implementing small swaps to your existing routine, you can ensure that your skin continues to glow from within.

Why is is important to vary your skin routinue as the seasons change? Skin is very susceptible to environmental agressors. In the coolers months your skin will combat all types of conditions.

• Cooler temperatures increase the skin’s proneness to dryness and dehydration.
• Weather conditions like wind and rain exacerbate sensitive and reactive skin.
• The myth that you don’t need sunscreen in cooler months may increase the risk of sunburn and other harmful effects of sun exposure.
• Dry weather means skin will produce more sebum.

Hydrate

Swap out lighter lotions and creams for more intensive moisturisers that will protect your moisture barrier and maintain good balance. My pick is the new Natio glow, 24/7 Hydrating Water Cream. It’s a luxe water gel moisturiser that provides long lasting moisture – infused with all the goodness of cellular extracts, Kakadu plum, Pomegranate and Goji Berry.

Don’t forget the SPF

Yes, you should keep your skin protected from damaging UV rays, even when it’s not obvious that the sun is shining. Not only does a robust sunscreen help protect from UVB, its also one of the best ways to protect from UVA, the rays that are known to be responsible for wrinkles and aging skin. The new glow Prep & Prime Clear Gel SPF 50 is the perfect step to not only prepare your skin for makeup application, but it also includes SPF 50 protection. The clear gel is water free, infused with vitamin e, fragrance free – it also leaves zero white cast with a luminous glow.

TIP: As this formula is water free you will find a little goes a long a way.

Restore and rest the skin

Whilst the hibernation of winter will soon be upon us, it is time to start the restorative benefits and luxurious treatment and really take time to reflect on all the work our skin is doing on our behalf. Personally, I love the routine of a Sunday mask, and the glow 10 Minute Miracle Mask is the drench of intense moisture all skin is looking for. Simply apply a thick layer to clean skin, leave for 10 minutes and then wipe off the excess. Your skin will feel rejuvenated, rebalanced and refreshed.

We are big believers in the best routine is one you can consistently apply, without the hassle and pressure of multi-step and combination actives. The change of seasons is a great time to reset your intention and make sure that you are taking time out to care and protect your skin and truly love being you.

Natio’s NEW Glow skincare range supports skin at a cellular level to glow its brightest best.   Guided by the belief that the best ingredients are found in nature, Natio Glow heroes this powerful edit of potent plant antioxidants and combines it with synergistic plant oils and extracts that further support skin’s health and radiance. 

With glowy, radiant skin in mind we created a signature Natio cellular extract blend rich with known skin brightening ingredients.

You might be thinking what is a cellular extract?

Essentially a cellular extraction is skincare science – it allows us to extract a natural ingredient’s full profile, of both the oil and water soluble phyto compounds, resulting in active natural materials that directly affect the function of skin. The extraction is the closest to nature compounds that are “true to nature”.

Cellular Extracts of Kakadu Plum, Goji Berry and Pomegranate combine forces to bring your best glowing skin to life. Kakadu plums are potent with natural Vitamin C and are known to help reduce the visible signs of ageing, by promoting collagen production to keep the skin looking plump. Pomegranate’s seeds are also powerful antioxidants, that fight the skin’s ageing process and help to detox the skin. The last hero ingredient that makes up our Cellular Extract Trio is Goji Berries, known for their anti-inflammatory properties to help soothe irritated skin and encourage a more even complexion.

Lets get to know the glow…

Start your routine with the Beauty Boost Cleansing Balm –the balm format, effectively and easily melts away all waterproof makeup and SPF, leaving skin looking healthy and radiant.

Follow with the Brighter Skin Refining Toner works to brighten and refine skin delivered in a mess free, convenient mist. Containing PHAs and Lactic Acid to help gently exfoliate skin, while hydrating and evening skin tone.

Next up is the Multi-Action Exfoliating Concentrate – another new format to the Natio range, the leave on, liquid exfoliant helps reveal plump, radiant looking skin. The multi action formula contains PHAs and Lactic Acid to help gently exfoliate skin, while hydrating and evening skin tone, its perfect for those with sensitive skin.

Perfect to lock in all those beautiful skin loving ingredients is the 24/7 Hydrating Water Cream - a lightweight, luxe water gel moisturiser, that provides long lasting moisture to skin, whilst sitting perfectly under makeup, leaving skin with a balanced moisture barrier and lasting radiance. Ideal for morning and night.

We should all know that sun protection is the most important step to help prevent premature ageing and the Prep & Prime Clear Gel SPF 50 is a double hero product! The perfect step after your skincare routine to prep the skin for cosmetics to follow. As you test this formula you will notice it is an innovative texture, a completely clear gel waterless SPF, that works to prime skin, allowing for a seamless foundation application whilst leaving zero white cast.

The 7-piece glow range is completed with 2 treatment products – the Purely Radiant Botanical Face Oil ideal for daily use for all skin types, but a must for people with dry or dehydrated skin. This hydrating and nourishing botanical face oil leaves skin looking refreshed and revived from environmental stressors. Infused with Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rosehip, Squalane, Vitamin E, it can be used morning or night.

The last product in the range is the 10 Minute Miracle Mask - an intensely hydrating, wipe off face mask, that leaves skin feeling rejuvenated and balanced. Simply apply a thick layer to face, leave on for 10 minutes, and wipe off excess. The mask helps to replenish vital skin hydration and promote a healthy moisture barrier.

At Natio, we believe in the power of embracing your authentic self and individuality. This International Women's Day we are proud to celebrate our partnership with the Melbourne Mavericks, a team that embodies resilience, passion, and the spirit of women supporting women.

The Mavericks bring a bold, refreshing energy that resonates with our ethos to cherish your uniqueness and strive to be your best self. Behind every great team are great leaders and the Mavericks are led by two powerhouse coaches - Travey Neville and Nicole Richardson.

Netball has long been a sport where women excel, holding the title of Australia’s most popular team sport. As the leading women’s sporting league in the world*, the Suncorp Super Netball League has a unique ability to motivate and inspire Australian women.

Both Mavericks coaches have years of elite netball experience and are proving to young girls that they can be trailblazers in their chosen sport. If you’re a netball fan, you know Tracey Neville. A former England Roses player turned legendary coach, she won bronze with her team in the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the 1999 World Netball Championships. As a coach, she made history in 2018 when she led England to a gold medal win at the commonwealth games. Now, she’s bringing that same winning mindset to the Melbourne Mavericks, building a fierce and unique team from the ground up.

Nicole Richardson is a legend in netball. She played for Australia in both netball and softball and her team won the 1995 Netball World cup. After transitioning into coaching, she brought her elite sporting experience and tactical brilliance to the sidelines. Today, she’s instilling the same dedication and strategic thinking that earned her legendary status in her sporting career.

Tracey and Nicole are more than just coaches - they’re trailblazers. They show us what is possible when women are given the space to lead and inspire. We deeply admire everything they have achieved and the way they continue to create opportunities for women to thrive, both locally and globally.

There’s something undeniably magical about the golden hour, the brief moments just after sunrise and before sunset when the world is bathed in radiant light. It’s nature’s most flattering filter and was the muse behind Natio’s latest collection: Golden Hour.

To give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, I sat down with the creative minds behind the collection - our Product Development team - to uncover their inspiration, favourite products and a few hidden gems you won’t want to miss!

Kerith, can you tell us what inspired the Golden Hour collection?

This collection was inspired by nature’s most flattering light and is a celebration of the golden flowing light, low on the horizon that bathes the world in warmth preceding sunrise and sunset. The range is all about embracing this beauty and letting your unique features and your inner beauty shine! 

Nikki, you were the main developer behind the collection, what are some hidden gems we might not know about it at first look?

The Eyeshadow Book has a removable mirror! You can pull it out and pop it in your handbag and voila! – you have a travel ready mirror. Plus, the Cream Bronzer can be used so many ways - on your face or eyes. As a makeup artist I’m all about multi use products, especially ones that give you an overall bronzed glow.

What products are you loving most from the range and why?

Eliza – My top pick is the Luminous Gold Glow Drops! They give a radiant, dewy finish that I love. You can mix them in with your moisturiser or foundation for a bronzed glow. The ingredients are also great for hydrating skin – Kakadu Plum, Rosehip extracts and Shea Butter! It’s a new must-have in my makeup bag.

Lisa – I love the Colour of the Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeliner! The soft shimmery brown shade adds a subtle touch of glam to the eyes. It’s so soft and easy to use. We also formulated it to dry quickly to avoid smudging for easy application.

Clara – My faves are the two Lip Oils in Pink Sunset and Solar Kiss. We made them with Jojoba, Coconut and Vitamin E, so they hydrate and condition your lips instead of drying them out. I love that it provides the perfect gloss, shine and colour while being a non-sticky formula – no more getting your hair stuck in your lip gloss!

You can purchase our Golden Hour collection on our website here. Or shop in-stores by finding your nearest Natio stockist here.

Gone are the days of un-functioning makeup products that stick to dry patches, cause break outs or just don’t provide the colour payoff that you were wanting. Skincare infused makeup (also known as skincare-makeup) has recently become the new girl on the block and she’s here to stay.

Why has skincare-makeup become so popular? The desire for cosmetic products that don’t weigh down skin, improve the look and feel of your complexion and to cut down your morning routine has been the key driving factors.

Illuminate skin from within with our skincare infused ingredients in our new Golden Hour collection. This range of skincare-makeup hybrids has been designed to help you glow from the inside out, even after your makeup is removed, to create a radiant makeup look.

For a Sunny, Dewy and Hydrated Look with the Luminous Gold Glow Drops

Achieve instant luminosity with our antioxidant rich Luminous Gold Glow Drops. This wash of golden shimmer contains hydrating Rosehip and Shea Butter, alongside brightening Kakadu Plum. High in Vitamin C, the antioxidant properties help to protect skin against free radical damage, pollution and environmental stressors. These ingredients work harmoniously to provide a sheer wash of sunny colour with long lasting hydration that can be felt long after application.

Lip care infused with Nourishing Plant Oils

Get the shine of the lip gloss without the stickiness - our Glossy Lip Oil provides plumping hydration and a hint of colour. Available in two shades, this 2-in-1 lip treatment is non-greasy and contains nourishing Jojoba Oil, softening Grapeseed Oil teamed with Vitamin E to improve skin elasticity, and Coconut Oil which is rich in fatty acids. These fatty acids benefit the skin by softening, hydrating and improving skin barrier function. The vegan friendly formulation is also fragrance free. 

Perfectly Sun-kissed Skin with our Cream Bronzer

Bronzy skin with a glow – our Summer Glow Cream Bronzer melts into skin, whilst adding a touch of sheer bronzy warmth. The hydrating formula combines rich Shea Butter, the moisturising and antioxidant properties of Jojoba Oil and Coconut Oil. Whilst Candelilla ensures the product creates a breathable layer on the skin to retain moisture and won’t clog pores, making it great for all skin types. Skin is left with a buildable, luminous, natural glow from mineral pigments.

Complexion Boosting Cheek Products

Say hello to juicy cheeks with a pinch of colour with our Sodium Hyaluronate infused Champagne Dreams Liquid Highlighter and Radiant Cloud Liquid Blush. The silky formulation contains meadowfoam, a powerful emollient that is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and helps the skin retain moisture. The liquid blush and liquid highlighter provide the skin with buildable colour and a dewy, glazed appearance upon application.

Create your own glowy makeup look with the skin-loving ingredients from our Golden Hour collection.
