In 5 Easy Steps
As summer fades and autumn settles in, it’s the perfect time to reset - nourishing your body, strengthening your immunity, and restoring balance to your skin. With cooler temperatures and lower humidity, your skin’s barrier needs extra hydration and care. Here are five scientifically backed steps to help you feel grounded and revitalised this season:
1. Prioritise Warming Foods
As temperatures drop, incorporating warming foods into your diet can support gut health and digestion. Warm meals enhance nutrient absorption, reduce bloating, and boost energy levels. Opt for foods rich in dietary fibre and essential nutrients for added gut-friendly benefits. Some of our favourites include buckwheat porridge with almond butter and berries or chicken soup with fresh sourdough bread.
2. Morning Gua Sha Practice
Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese technique, involves gently scraping the skin to stimulate lymphatic drainage. In cooler temperatures, our faces can become puffy and congested, making a regular morning Gua Sha practice an excellent way to reduce fluid retention and increase immune function. Since the lymphatic system plays a key role in detoxification, this simple ritual helps support your body's natural defences while sculpting and depuffing your face.
3. At-Home Facial with the Gold Purifying Mask
Post-summer skin often becomes dry and accumulates dead skin cells. An at-home facial using our Gold Purifying Mask provides a scientifically formulated solution to cleanse and restore your skin without harsh exfoliation. This mask combines Kaolin Clay, known for its gentle impurity-absorbing properties, with Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera offer soothing hydration, while our SL8™ Blend enhances skin clarity and radiance. Incorporating this mask twice a week will help heal and reset your skin after summer.
4. Add In Extra Moisturisation
As humidity decreases, maintaining skin hydration is essential. Layering our Barrier Balance Cream over the Super Hydration Serum provides ultimate support for your skin barrier. This cream is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture, and Vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors. Shea Butter offers rich emollient properties for deep hydration without clogging pores, while the SL8™ Blend strengthens skin resilience and balance. Applying a thicker layer of this nourishing cream will ensure your skin stays plump, protected, and glowing throughout cooler temperatures.
