Trending Skincare In 2019

From tanning lotions to body oils these are the trends you'll see all over your Instagram feed

Here are our top predictions for skincare trends in 2019. It looks like everyone is going for the likes of vegan skincare & tanning lotions. 

2018 was the year for glossy skin, oils, wet look hair and highlighter so bold it even made Meghan Markle look dull in comparison. So how will these trends stack up?

Hyaluronic is here to stay

It had a staring moment in 2018, but this miracle ingredient isn't ready to give up the spotlight just yet. No matter whether you're young or old, everyone's skin can benefit with a boost of hyaluronic acid. Include it into your daily skin routine and notice a visible difference within days.

The easiest way to incorporate it is to use our BB Cream, which is filled with the skin loving ingredient. This face lotion is so easy to apply and will improve your skin over time. Find out more about the benefits of hyaluronic acid here.

Endless bronzed summers

A year-long bronzed tan is always in. It gives a healthy glow to your skin and makes everything from your eyes to clothes 'pop'. For an instant pick-me-up with a hint of tint try our Bronzing Lotion. It gives that 'I just jetted in from the Whitsundays' look in under a minute.

Looking for something a little more permanent, then you might prefer a fake tanner. The DHA in the product reacts with your skin to give you a deep tan that'll stick around for 5-7 days. Our new Self Tanning Mousse is the number one pick, with 100% natural DHA you'll have a flawless fake tan year round. For tips on how to fake the perfect tan click here. 

Natural is best

Natural, clean and vegan lifestyle choices have exploded... and it's not just limited to those smoothie bowls we've been sipping on all summer. This growing trend extends to skincare too. In 2019 its cool to be kind, so choose cruelty-free products for a glowing complexion and conscience. Not only are you benefitting your skin by choosing natural and vegan-friendly products, (like our Self Tanning Mousse) you're helping grow a trend into an important lifestyle choice.


SPF'd to impress

The best thing you can wear in 2019 is a nourishing SPF. With babes worldwide clueing on to the SPF trend, this one's turning up the heat. Whats not #trending though is sticky, heavy SPF. For a lightweight sunscreen lotion, reach for our Moisturising Sunscreen. Lightly scented with coconut this lotion will have you protected from head to toe. 

With this growing trend, came growing demand. So it was only right to release our best-selling Tanning Oils in SPF15 too. Now you can purchase the full range in SPF6, SPF15 or without.


Layers on layers

2018 was all about body and face oils. Oils make skin look more radiant and glowing. They offer deep hydration and improve the tone and appearance of your skin. But in 2019 we're taking this trend to new heights by layering both body oils and moisturising lotions.

Moisturising lotion is the key to any layering routine. It acts as a seal to lock in the benefits of the natural oils, making it more effective. Apply a lightweight lotion like our Luxe Lotion then apply your fave Tanning Oil. As a rule, oils can penetrate through moisturising lotions, but not vice versa. Say hello to a new year and new skin!

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

We’ve all been there. Neglecting our skin is unfortunately a sin most of us commit on a regular basis. And let’s face it, there really is no nicer feeling than slipping into clean sheets with silky smooth skin to compliment. It’s the simple things in life that really go the extra mile. So we’re here to teach you the easiest and fastest way to give your skin a little TLC, in under 2 minutes. Step 1: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate The most simple, yet the most neglected part of any skin care regimen. Long gone are the days of harsh scrubbing applicators and routines, feeling like our skin is going red raw with the pressure.  If you’re using a 100% natural DHA self-tanner, then the self-tan only sits on the first layer of your skin, your epidermis. Synthetic or chemical DHA-based tans actually seep into the lower levels of your skin, making it much more difficult to remove.  In essence, we always recommend that you opt for a 100% natural DHA self-tanner. Not only to add ease to the post tanning removal process, but to also support a healthy relationship with your skin and it’s overall health. To exfoliate, we recommend using a light to medium pressurised, natural body scrub that also harbours benefits for the skin. Our Essentials Body Scrub is an all-natural formulation that gently but effectively exfoliates the skin while replenishing moisture. Pink french clay and nourishing plant based oils work together to promote skin elasticity and renewal. Infused with a blend of grape seed oil and rosa damascena flower oil, this combination is designed to provide antibacterial properties, minimising the occurrence of body acne and other skin concerns. Step 2: Stay hydrated We know that sometimes getting your 2L of H2O every day can be more of a laborious chore, rather than a self care act. Keeping your skin hydrated should be no less of a priority than the latter.  There are generally 3 ways you can go about this: 1 - Mid-wash hydration This is usually when you use an in-shower or oil-based product whilst you wash. Our in-shower body oil is a great product for this method of combating skin hydration. Enriched with soothing ingredients such as chamomile and coconut oil, the formulation of our Shower Oil has been designed to soften the skin's surface and help control skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Our in-shower body oil also includes nourishing plant-based oils such as grapeseed oil, which aims to provide intense hydration to the skin.  To use, apply generously to wet or damp skin in the shower. Following this, massage all over your body and focus on any dry areas or where the skin is cracked and neglected (elbows, knee caps etc). Lastly, rinse off in the shower and you’re good to go!  A product like that is perfect for daily use and complimentary for all skin types and skin aversions, including sensitised skin. 2 - Post-wash hydration The second and probably most obvious skin hydration tip is to moisturise daily. We recommend using a 3-in-1 product, like our Gradual Tan Moisturiser. Using 100% natural DHA and other natural ingredients and oils, our Gradual Tan can be used as a daily moisturiser, a tan extender or a gradual tan. 3 - General product mindfulness As explored above, the importance of choosing to use products that contain natural ingredients and oils is extremely important - especially when you are applying it topically all over your body's largest organ. Always be sure to educate yourself regarding what is actually in a product and favour ingredient-focused formulations. Also, try to get in the habit of electing to seek out products that are sustainable in their packaging and their ethos. Our new Essentials range has been designed using 100% recyclable materials and is safe for all skin types and pregnancy.
