‘Tis the season for tinsel and mistletoe and all the shiny things that come along with Christmas. If your goal is to have your skin glazed like Christmas pudding, we have the ultimate guide to get you there.

Rockin’ around your skincare routine

Just like the base layer of decorating a Christmas tree, your skincare routine is just as important as a layer to getting your skin looking the best it can for the busiest time of year. With all the rushing, deadlines, and Xmas hosting it can be quite easy to get a breakout (or two)! Manage shine and target acne breakouts when they occur with our Clear range. Perfect for on-the-go, the Breakout Control Toning Mist contains Green Tea to soothe, Salicylic Acid to help dissolve surface impurities and Tea Tree to help control shine. Try combining this with the Clear Quick Fix Spot Treatment to prevent and target stress-induced blemishes.

All I want for Christmas is Invigorated Skin

Restore your skin’s natural glow with a gentle exfoliant that is reminiscent of the warm, sweet fragrance of a festive Christmas treat. Natio’s Wellness Body Scrub contains Pomegranate, Walnut and Coconut to help buff away dry skin cells and boost circulation to reveal a fresh and vibrant radiance. Like a fine wine to a cheese, this body scrub pairs beautifully with the Wellness Body Butter. The complimenting fragrances and nourishing ingredients work together to enhance skin’s shine, leaving it with a glowing, bauble-like radiance.

Colour Cosmetics for Christmas Sparkle

If your 12 days of Christmas look like back-to-back events, getting your Christmas makeup sorted may be on the top of your wish list. The best way to glisten skin is by using a variety of cream products in your makeup look. The Cream to Powder Foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation that offers a dewy appearance. This paired with our Cream Stick Blusher, Bronzer & Highlighter can add colour and dimension to your face to bring out your best facial features.

No Chrissy look is complete without a little bit of glitz. Natio’s Glide On Eyeshadow Sticks come in a variety of colours for daytime to nighttime eye looks for any occasion.

Psst. Did you get to the end of this post and realised you still have a few more Christmas gifts to purchase? Natio has you sorted with a gift for all your loved ones now online and in-store at your local Pharmacy and Department Stores.

I think we can all relate to it being that time of year where your work and personal life is super busy and all you can think about is being able to kick your feet up and relax over the holiday season. The excitement is starting to bubble up and maybe, like me, you just can’t help yourself from starting to plan Christmas.

'Tis the season to soak up the sun, spend quality time with your friends and family and show your loved ones how much you appreciate them with one of the 5 love languages, gifts.

The only downfall? Having to ball on a budget whilst finding the perfect gift.

But there is no need to worry, receiving gifts isn’t about the monetary value it’s about the symbolic value that you know them, care for them, and understand them.  That’s why I’ve put together a list of all my favourite Natio gift sets (under $20!) that I will be gifting to those that I love and that you can too.

Mother/Mother-In-Law/Grandmothers

Starting off strong with one of the hardest groups of people to buy for, Christmas gifts for your mother, mother-in-law or grandmother.

I don’t know about you but when my mum wants something, she’ll usually just buy it. Which does NOT make gift-giving any easier. That’s why I am going to buy her something to show her I appreciate how much she does for me and remind her to look after herself too.

The Petal Gift Set ($14.95) is perfect. It will remind her to carve time out of her day to have some ‘me-time’ OR give you a good excuse to spend some quality time with her whilst giving her a relaxing and rejuvenating hand massage and manicure. The gift set features a Rosewater Hydration Moisture Rich Hand & Nail Cream 100ml and 2 in 1 emery board that will hydrate, soothe and shape her hands. If the budget allows you could also give her the Blossom Gift Set ($24.95), featuring three stunning nail colours or pick out one of your favourite colours for only $9.95 to follow and perfect the manicure.  

Father/Father-In-Law/Grandfathers

Next up is the perfect gift for the father/father-in-law. Personally, my dad does not go shopping, he still wears the same shirt he got given as a present 10 years ago. This makes my job a little easier when buying him presents, it’s as much what does he need as it is what does he want. That’s why this year my personal favourite is the Refresh Gift Set ($16.95). Not only does is feature a Daily Face Wash that cleans dirt and grime, perfect for an outdoorsy man (my dad’s a farmer so is essential for him) it includes a stubby holder that he can keep forever and act as a reminder of you.

Girl Friends/Girlfriends/Sisters

When thinking about what to get my sister and my besties, I know it’s got to be good. They have been through the ups and downs with me, seen me at my worst (more than once) and still love me. I want something that screams I see you and I love you, but I don’t want to go broke in doing so.

Whether it’s the entire present, or a small addition this year my top pick is the Blend Gift Set. For only $9.95 it gives "I see you (and your current beauty blender that is in no state to be using) and I love you (so please take care of your beautiful skin)". It also acts as an adorable Christmas decoration that they will use and LOVE. The gift set is not one, not two, but three beauty blenders all with their own purpose, a Complexion Perfection Foundation Sponge, Teardrop Application Sponge and Angled Teardrop Blending Sponge.

Boy Friends/Boyfriends/Brothers

I’m pretty sure my little brother will be gifting me just a hug for Christmas this year (if I’m lucky), but nonetheless I still want to get him something special and let me tell you that is not an easy task. However, after doing some deep-diving I’m pretty sure I’ve cracked the code with this, it’s giving them something that they probably may not think of getting for themselves but need and will appreciate.

The Smooth Gift Set ($14.95) is perfect. Not only will the Natio for Men Smooth Shave Gel and shave brush be practical and used multiple times a week, but will make their life easier and quite literally smoother. It’s a way to show the boys in your life you care about them but also something they will use and appreciate.

Kris Kringle/Secret Santa

What do get when you don’t know what to get? How do you know what to buy when you don’t know who you are buying for? Kris Kringle and Secret Santa presents are hard, there is no denying that. However, I am here to save the day, not only is this perfect for anyone to receive, it’s also super affordable.

The Lustre Gift Set ($22.95) is my go-to when I don’t know what to go for. It includes the perfect and practical pairing of the Wellness Hand Wash and Intensive Hand Cream, presented in a trendy bamboo fibre caddy. The set is packed with the antioxidant goodness of pure Pomegranate, smells amazing and lets face it - looks impressive.

Personally this is making me even more excited for Christmas, with finding the perfect presents out of the way, any stress Christmas may include is GONE. I can’t wait to see everyone’s faces when I give them their Christmas gifts!

Happy Father’s Day!

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we’ve taken a moment to pause and honour the remarkable women in our lives. We asked the team at Natio Head Office to delve into some warm, fuzzy sentiments of what their mum means to them. Join us as we explore the thoughtful gestures they have planned to express their gratitude on Mother’s Day.  

"My mum meant the world to me. She was the kindest, genuine soul you would ever meet. She was selfless and always put herself before others and go without her family. She would never walk past anyone in need and would always stop to be kind and give. She loved with all her heart. She would never say a bad word about anyone.  

Her heart was big, and she never asked for anything. She was happy as long as she had her family. She was our sunshine. Always encouraging us to be grateful and to live our dreams. 

She brought me up to always think of others and have empathy. Not to mention to be a clean freak! If she was here today, I would have brought her the Natio My Heart, as my mum was my heart and my World." - Chrissy, Receptionist

"To me, my mum is the greatest person that ever existed. She's the ‘eternal mum' who loves nurtures and supports her children selflessly, unconditionally and completely. Now in her mid 70’s and with most of her parenting done, it makes me happy to imagine her doing the things she loves for herself, pottering in the garden, painting and practicing Buddhism. She deserves this time in her life so so much! She also loves Natio nearly as much as I do, so I’ll be bringing her up another boot-load for Mothers Day!" - Mahesh, Managing Director

"Happy Mother's Day to the queen of selflessness, my mum. The real MVP in my life!! She is the kindest person I know! A big thanks goes to her for always putting others before herself and filling not only our hearts but our bellies too! Her patience and tolerance could rival that of a saint. It only seems fitting to spoil her with flowers, a lovely dinner out and the Spirit Hemp + Muntrie Hardworking Hand Cream.” - Nicki, Graphic Designer

"My mum is the strongest woman I have ever known. She inspires me to be my best self and she’s proof that with love, determination, and a little bit of laughter, anything is possible.  I have always been in awe of her strength and resilience as a single mother to my sister and I growing up. She has always supported me in my endeavors and life’s ups and downs. She is also a wonderful and super fun nanna to my two sons.  To me, she means the world. I will be gifting her the Golden Bouquet Gift Set because the Wellness range is her favourite." - Amanda, Senior Graphic Designer

"My mum is my rock, she’s always been there for me no matter what I needed. Growing up, she was a stay-at-home mum, and always put 100% into everything she did. Whether that be turning up for school excursions, taking us to activities outside of school, or even making dinner for us every night. Every waking moment she would always give us her all. Even though she’s replaced me and my older sibling with two dogs since moving out of home, she’s just as great of a dog mum to them as she is to us. For Mother’s Day I’ll be treating her to lunch out with my siblings but also getting her the Romance Reed Diffuser. This makes the perfect gift as she has a busy schedule, so it will not only make her home smell amazing, but she won’t have to worry about blowing a candle out." Georgia, Marketing Executive Export

"My mum is my best friend and my biggest inspiration. She is the strongest person I know, but the kindest person I know, and I strive to be like this every day. Going back to university in her 40s and completing her master’s degree in her 50s has shown me it’s never too late to do what you love. Her positivity, love of life, generosity, loyalty, dependability, and carefree spirit is something I admire every day. I am so lucky she is my mum. This year, to celebrate her, I will be buying her the Botanical Bliss Gift Set because she deserves a Spa day, and the Coconut Milk Hydrating Body Lotion is my favourite!" - Clara, Product Developer

The summer and Christmas holiday period is fast approaching, and while this can evoke a sense of joy and gratitude, it’s fair to also feel some sense of foreboding chaos. As you put together your Christmas shopping list, be sure to “check it twice” and ensure you can tick off some well-deserved me-time. Here are some brief tips for incorporating essential oils into your holiday, for conscious wellbeing amidst the busiest time of the year.

Deck the house with aroma

The ornaments have emerged from storage and the rolls of gift wrap have started to pile up, how can you quickly return your home to a space of tranquility? Diffusing essential oils could be a quick solve.

Stressed? Look to Chamomile, Mandarin and Lavender to soothe the mind. The Natio Relax blend inspires a sense of calm. Breathe deep and take a moment to ground yourself in the benefits of this gentle aromatherapy blend.

Fatigued? Bright notes of Bergamot and Nutmeg work to awaken the mind and support a sense of vitality in the Natio Energy Blend. If you are feeling overwhelmed and need to declutter your brain, this is the perfect blend to offer some sense of clarity.

Not fatigued enough? Perhaps in the leadup to Christmas you’re struggling to doze off, your mind wandering with the lists of tasks still to be complete. The Natio Sleep Blend helps to relieve tension and promote restful sleep with a blend of Lavender, Bergamot and Chamomile.

For a customised aromatherapeutic experience, you can create your own essential oil blend. Simply add a combination of your preferred Pure Essential Oils to a diffuser and allow the aromas to drift you to a space of tranquility.

On the go essentials

The holiday season isn’t just within the home, and at Natio we understand that stress, tension and holiday fatigue can hit at any time. We have a range of convenient Roll On Blends, perfect for on the go aromatherapy support. Tucked into a handbag, or kept in your glove compartment, these 10ml vials are the perfect little helper you need while running errands this summer.

Give the gift of relaxation

Everyone deserves a moment of peace this holidays, give a loved one the gift of aromatherapy with our Peaceful Duo Gift Set. Part of our Christmas gifting collection, the set boasts two roll-on essential oils - Sleep and Stress - in a premium bamboo organiser with a mirror – a thoughtful gift for creating a space of tranquility.

Alternatively, if your loved one enjoys the comforts of candlelight, our Festive Spirit Gift Set comprises a large triple wicked candle scented with indulgent Caramel, Coconut and Cedarwood, the perfect fragrance to fill the home this Christmas.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. Festive joy, summer warmth and the sound of carols fill the air, and the heart. ‘Tis the season of generosity and giving!  While we all know that the holiday season means infinitely more than just stuffed stockings and brightly wrapped gifts piled under the tree, Christmas does present a beautiful opportunity to treat friends and family to some well-deserved love, care and “just-for-you” goodies.  

What better way to convey your respect or adoration for your “special someones” than with a gift that elevates their daily beauty regimen, revitalises their grooming routine or invites peace to their personal space. With a gift of self-care, you’re demonstrating that you care, that you deem the recipient deserving and special. Not only does he/she receive a luxurious gift of pampering, they also receive a greater gift – a gift of feeling seen, appreciated or loved. Perfect, right? 

With gift set options galore, Natio has an ideal self-care present for each and every lucky person in your sights. We know that your “nice” list can run a little long too, so great value gifts can help you help treat all of your favourites, not just a lucky few.

This Christmas, many of us are approaching the Christmas festivities more sustainably. From giving gifts to what we eat, we are all playing a part in cherishing memories and moments with loved ones, whilst also being kind to Mother Earth. Here are some tried and tested ways to enjoy this season with friends and family without costing our planet.

Quality not Quantity

It’s a simple start, but when buying gifts, think “less is better” and focus on quality that will last, or offer a solution to the giver. With this in mind all Natio gift sets are made in Australia to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise shipping. Pick a gift that the receiver will love and use, and reduce the chances of gifts going to waste. Why not spoil loved ones with the gift of glowing skin and gift the Blossoming Beauty gift set with the Natio signature Aromatherapy 1-2-3 skincare routine.

Think about materials

World Wildlife Fund advises that we look at materials that gifts are made from to keep sustainability front of mind. Paper gifts and boxes can be made from recycled materials, or Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) materials are a good sustainable choice. Avoid single use plastics items that cannot be recycled. The Forest Mist Natio for Men Gift set is a great option as it is presented in a recycled, locally made presentation box which can easily be recycled in your curbside recycling. The set includes a Daily Face Wash and 100% biodegradable konjac sponge which can be composted with your veggie, fruit and plant remains once you have finished using it!

Reduced packaging

You can also reduce waste by buying gifts that come in little to no packaging. Avoid plastic where possible and use reusable bags to carry your shopping home or choose online retailers who ship products to you in sustainable packaging options - like recycled paper or cornstarch beads in place of plastic bubble wrap. The Natio x Lamai Anne Christmas collection offers lovingly created gifts that include recycled or reusable components, and packaging to help you feel good about gifting to loved ones. Perhaps try Graceful Gum from the Natio Spirit range which features 3 full sized bath and body treats as well as a sisal exfoliating sponge in a reusable cosmetic bag.

Celebrating with food

When it comes to food waste in Australia on average, we annually waste close to 312kg of food per person, this has an impact not only on our environment but also our spending. Try to cut any waste by planning ahead – be realistic about how much food you need and plan ways to use up leftovers. If you can focus on seasonally available fresh foods, not only will this be a great way to minimise spending, but the food will be the freshest – also consider shipping and the environmental impacts of importing foods that aren’t in season locally.

Considered Decorating

Use the ethos of “quality not quantity.” Use, create and upcycle as many decorations as possible. Reusing ornaments is not only positive for the environment but also offer yearly family traditions that can be cherished. Try and avoid any single use plastics, focus instead on materials that can be reused season on season. And don’t forget to think about your Christmas lights! Using LED lights on your Christmas tree uses less energy, lasts longer, and looks just as effective as traditional lights.

We hope you can see how easy it is to make some simple swaps for a happy, and more sustainable Christmas this year. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and joy filled festive season.
