Sure, nothing beats the feeling of skin that’s been freshly massaged with our Ageless Antioxidant Rosehip Oil, but here at Natio we believe that beauty is more than skin deep.

It’s spending time with friends and family earning those well deserved smile lines. It’s creating a home that you love coming home to and taking good care of your body. It’s taking a moment to meditate when life gets too much and reaching out for a chat when you need it. 

To us, taking care of your insides is just as important as taking care of your outsides, so here are some quick tips to create a home and environment that’s happy and trust us your skin will thank you. 

Get your beauty sleep.

It turns out that getting your beauty sleep isn't just reserved for Disney Princesses.  It's a must do for your body, mind, spirit – and skin. Adequate sleep has been linked to improving blood sugar, regulating cortisol and helping your body repair itself on a cellular level. Not to mention linked to having a brighter, more glowing complexion. 

 So how can you create a home atmosphere that makes catching those Z’s easy? 

• Reduce screen time 2 hours before bed. Around dinner time you can start to turn your electronics off and have dinner with family or friends and catch up. 
• Invest in quality bed linen and a mattress that supports your back. 
• Indulge in heavenly, relaxing scents from our Home Happiness range of oils and diffusers to calm your mind and get your body ready for bed 

Actively manage your stress. 

After living through a once in a lifetime pandemic, it’s safe to say that most of us reading this can relate to feeling stressed! Whila a little bit of stress in life is unavoidable, we can do little things to destress throughout the day and take dedicated self care time to make sure we’re bringing the best we can to every day. 

Plus, when we feel stressed, we’re more likely to opt for sugary or oily food that causes breakouts, skip our skincare routines or suffer from insomnia. Here are some of our favourite ways to bring peace back into our days and create more balance. 

• Set 10 minutes aside to breathe deeply before you start work. This helps to refocus your mindset and clear any annoying thoughts. 
• Try to make lunch 2-3 times a week if you’re notorious for being the office UberEats instigator. This will help to ensure you’re being mindful about what you eat, but still giving yourself the opportunity to treat yourself! 
• Apply some of our focus on wellbeing range to your wrists to bring your focus back to the present on particularly busy days. Our "focus on stress" roll on is our favourite! 

Create your own ritual.

Whether it’s a cooking ritual or a skincare one, finding your own routine is key to bring happiness into your day. Having something to look forward to can do wonders in improving your mood, grounding you and also helping to soothe your mind and body. While there’s no right or wrong way to create a ritual, it’s important that it’s something that brings you joy and relaxes you. You can share it with someone else, such as a weekly group yoga class, or go solo such as nightly bath.

Here are some of our suggestions if you’d like to create your own ritual at home.

• Create a skincare routine to fake your glow on the weeks that are just harder than others! Start with a face wash and toner to cleanse your skin, before infusing it with natural plant based serums to rehydrate and brighten, before sealing it all with a nourishing night cream.

• Why not get family or friends involved in a weekly cooking extravaganza!? Each week, choose a recipe that’s simple but tasty and have everyone involved in some way; from chopping to frying to plating. It’s a great way to spend some time offline and connecting with your loved ones. 
• With so many resources on the internet, it’s a great time to learn a new skill or hobby! As the weather gets colder, we have been loving experimenting with our own essential oil blends. If you’d like to try, we have put together our best tips here.

Australia is known the world over for its laidback and easygoing lifestyle. These characteristics have also been the source of inspiration for Natio, from the very beginning.

Launched in Melbourne more than 25 years ago, Natio’s mission was to create skincare and beauty products that were uncomplicated, fuss-free and refreshingly real - a reflection of Australians themselves. This same mission holds true today.

By staying true to this philosophy, Natio’s product lineup has stood the test of time, remaining relevant and embraced on our own shores, and providing customers around the world a slice of the Australian way.

Natio skincare formations have been designed for simplicity of use, enjoyment of application and efficacy in providing heathy, happy skin results. 

Ingredients are sourced from nature and used for their ability to help achieve healthy, glowing skin. Botanical extracts and essential oils are used throughout the range, including native ingredients such as Lemon Ironbark, Kakadu Plum, Muntrie, Tea Tree and Desert Lime (see Natio Spirit range).

Natio’s beloved island home is also renowned for its diverse, resilient and truly unique landscape - also a primary source of inspiration for Natio, specifically in its colour cosmetic offering. Natio’s makeup range proudly reflects the beautiful palettes of Australia’s natural landscapes and vibrant flora. You’ll find this in the shimmering sea, sand and shell tones of Natio eyeshadows, radiant sunlit bronzing powders, petal pink lip colour shades and the colours of a dazzling west coast sunset bottled to brighten nails. Australia offers no shortage of natural beauty.  

Natio supports local industry. All skincare is made in Australia, alongside the majority of the business’ cosmetics offering. The entire spectrum of Natio products is 100% designed in Australia and Australian owned. Wherever possible, the business works with Australian owned and operated manufacturers and suppliers as a priority.

Even Natio’s leafy ‘home amongst the gum trees’, surrounded by wattle and gum in Melbourne, provides a connection to nature and another nod to its ‘Australian-ness’.

Australian through and through, Natio loves its home, cherishes its uniqueness and invites you to share in that joy by supporting your favourite Aussie brands and makers - today and into the future.

Did you know that your skin is actually your body’s largest organ? It also acts as a shield against the myriad of environmental elements we encounter in our daily lives, therefore taking care of your skin health is extremely important. Whilst using a variety of products can improve skin texture, tone, brightness and bounce – it could also impair our delicate skin barrier and leave us with sensitized, red, irritated skin, that needs a simplified, gentle routine and a little TLC.

Cue natural ingredients. Nourishing Omegas, calming Chamomile and skin boosting Vitamins, absorb into the skin can increase our levels of collagen, oxygen and blood flow, thus repairing free radical damage and nourishing our skin, think of it as skin food.

Natural ingredients have been used in skincare and medicine for thousands of years. Cleopatra is said to have used Rosewater for its healing and beautifying purposes, while in Ancient Greece, dried herbs and flowers were added to baths to cleanse and detoxify the skin.

Honey, Milk, Olive or Safflower Oils, Pomegranate and Green Tea can also be found in countless ancient beauty treatments, used across the world for a variety of benefits.

In modern skincare, natural ingredients are sought for their effectiveness, while also being gentle on the skin. They can be used to fragrance products or as the base of a formula - such as Shea or Almond Oil, which are universally sought out for their nourishing skin benefits.

Natio’s approach is to combine the best of nature and science to make formulations that are safe, stable, and achieve results. Botanical plant and flower essences, pure essential oils and cold-pressed oils are used throughout the range, ensuring all skin types, conditions and ages are catered for.

Some of the favourites include:

Rosewater: Mother Nature’s remarkably multi-tasking skincare elixir, Rosewater has been used for centuries to remedy almost all skincare concerns. It can balance surface oils, hydrate and gives skin a hypercharged nutrient boost.

Evening Primrose Oil: Extracted from the Evening Primrose flower, Evening Primrose Oil is used widely in skincare and medicine as a natural cure for many complaints. In the skin, it is linked to improvements in moisture levels, elasticity and firmness, and the way skin responds to stresses. The oil is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, and can help in acne control and cell regeneration, making this ingredient a real skin-saviour.

Pomegranate: High in antioxidants, Pomegranate has multiple benefits for the skin - including helping to fight free radicals. This term is used to describe atoms in the environment (which can be caused by pollution or the sun) that attach themselves to the skin, causing damage such as collagen loss or wrinkles. Skincare containing natural antioxidants and vitamins, like Pomegranate, can help to defend against free radical damage, thus protecting the complexion.
