This is your sign to Autumn-proof your beauty regime
When the weather changes, our beauty-needs change along with it (*insert dramatic sigh here*). So to ensure your self care routine stays on point, we've rounded up our top beauty picks to feature in our Autumn Edit to keep you looking and feeling your absolute glowing self all season round.
Here for us babes down in the Southern hemisphere, April means transitioning from Spring to Autumn. This adjustment can have us all embracing a particular cozy-chic aesthetic. From burgundy lipstick shades, hair colour glow ups to cashmere tops, fluffy coats, to snippets of sunshine and crunchy leaves just hitting different, there's a lot of beauty in Autumn.
But this cooler time can also bring on not so gorg realities, like dried out, dehydrated skin, flakiness, dull hair, unruly frizz, the list can go on. So this is why it's important to adjust our routines, in order to thrive throughout the cooler seasons. And together, here is how we’re going to embrace change this Autumn:
For achieving hair goals
Now, unfortunately for vast majority of us we can't relate to the Kardashian lifestyle of having our hairdressers live in house with us. Whilst we can always book an appointment with our fav stylists at Oz Hair & Beauty every now and then for a refresh, this is not a long term solution. But the good news is there are many products out there that will make maintaining glossy, gorgeous hair a whole lot easier.
Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Dark Tones
Moroccanoil's dry cleansing spray will be your best friend after any workout sesh or before you head out for a glass (or more likely, glasses) of wine with the gals. It instantly refreshes and revitalises the hair and scalp to extend the life of styling, so it's perf for a last minute touch up. Also works incredibly in the cooler months as it is formulated with ultra-fine rice starches, that help instantly absorb oil, leaving a silky, just-left-the-salon feel.
De Lorenzo's Novafusion Colour Care Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner
Rich, dark, leather brown shades are completely on trend this Autumn. And it just so happens to be the perf hair colour that looks fresh but is also low-maintenance (*brunettes rejoice!*).
