A Guide To Staying Motivated Through Fall

How to keep your skincare and motivation in check during the chilly season. 

The chilly fall vibes are officially here. While it’s been a long, challenging and exhausting year for us all, now is not the time to re-treat to your room until 2021 (even though we wouldn't blame you for wanting too). Instead, we’re going to stay motivated through Fall by maintaining our summer glow, exercising healthy habits and perfecting our fall skincare routine instead. Put on your best Fall playlist (we recommend Folklore by Taylor Swift), make yourself a pumpkin spice latte and read on, babes.

Hydrate and bronze 
A change is in the air, which means it’s time to put your summer skincare routine to the side until next year. Winter skin is all about serious hydration. Rich, creamy moisturisers that are full of glycerin, hydrating butters and nourishing oils. As the temperature’s drop, our skin's ability to create natural oils really struggles, so an extra boost of hydration to protect the skin barrier is a must. Our top pick? The Bali Body Gradual Tan. The gradual tanning moisturiser is the hydrating body lotion your skin craves throughout Fall, mixed with a subtle bronzed glow so that you can maintain your summer tan without the sun. It’s the foolproof way to hydrate and bronze, no effort required. The best part? You always feel better with a tan. 

Start a habit tracker 
They say motivation is what gets you started and habit is what keeps you going. Write down your top 5 - 10 goals for the season and start a habit tracker. The goals can be as simple, fun or challenging as you like. Some ideas could include, a big walk outside daily, 30 minutes of reading before bed, swapping your afternoon coffee for a matcha latte to reduce your caffeine intake or learning a new Fall inspired recipe every week (Hello, oatmeal pumpkin cream pies). A quick google search of “printable habit tracker” will find you your tracker. Now all that’s left to do is print it off and fill it in. Keeping a habit tracker will motivate you to stay accountable and create healthy habits, which in turn will make you as happy as Emily In Paris each morning when she got her croissant. So, really happy. 

Combine your coverage
Just because we're spending most of our time inside, doesn't mean you can't put on a quick face every morning. A glowing complexion will boost your mood and you'll look fab in Zoom meetings. To make sure you remember to apply your SPF everyday throughout Fall (yes, we need sun protection even when it's cold) combine it with your coverage. The Bali Body BB Cream is a multitasking beauty cream that does all the work for you. The skincare meets makeup product combines your SPF, with your tinted moisturiser and skincare. It’s the type of product that makes you feel better for skipping your skincare because it’s enriched with its own. Hyaluronic acid, marine collagen, SPF15 and a flawless, dewy glow. No wonder why it has over 1,000 5 star reviews.

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.
