In southern countries, such as Australia, it is not very difficult to maintain a natural and glowy look since the climate is favorable for achieving that sunkissed tan, beach wavy hair, and toned body as a result of a lot of swimming and outdoor activities. Let’s scroll down to check some of the beauty secrets we can all apply to gain that naturally healthy and shiny look the Australian women swear by. 

Keep it natural

Since the sun and the weather invite them to spend time outdoors, Australians tend to always have that lightly tanned skin which makes using heavy makeup completely unnecessary. A little bit of bronzer or peachy blush to accompany that sunkissed tan and they are ready to go. 

Moisturizers with SPF

Since the sun rays can be very harmful, especially in Australia because of the damaged ozone layer above the Australian sky, women from this country use moisturizers or face foundations that come with SPF so they are always protected. The sun can make your skin dry so this protects and moisturizes at the same time. SPF is not supposed to be used only in the summer but also in the wintertime since the sun rays are still there, although we don’t feel the heat. In case you get sunburnt, use aloe to heal your skin. 

Regular dermatologist visit

Australian people take a lot of care of their skin and put a lot of effort when it comes to preventing some serious diseases like skin cancer. This is why they have regular appointments with dermatologists. Dermatologist Sydney clinics offer a lot of services and anyone can solve any skin issue. Sometimes you can’t solve your skin problems with home remedies. This happens with acne or eczema. A session with a professional dermatologist is advised in cases like that.

Eucalyptus oil

Australia is famous for lovely koalas whose natural food is eucalyptus. Did you know that essential eucalyptus oil can bring so many benefits to your skin as well? It is excellent for scalp hydration and can cure pimples as well. If you can’t find it, a good substitute is an almond oil. Another excellent ingredient for fighting pimples is basil oil. This versatile ingredient can be used in your kitchen but also as a tea for a sore throat. 

Vinegar rinse for shiny hair

Apple vinegar is the best for this purpose, but any other one can do the job as well. The sun, salt, and heat can take away the moisture from the hair and make it look dull and brittle. Bring some shine back to your locks and strands and rinse them with a mixture of water and vinegar from time to time. You will see that the effect is amazing since vinegar also has antiseptic properties and can enhance your scalp health. 

Use Botanics for the beauty

We mentioned the healing properties of eucalyptus but Australian flora is so diverse and rich that many other plants can work in favor of your beauty.  Queen Garnet Plum, Kakadu plum, eucalyptus, quandong, and lemon myrtle are some of the natural antioxidants. You can use them raw or purchase products that contain them as main ingredients. Lemon can even be used as a deodorant. Some of those plants can be a part of your natural organic garden, so you can always have them at hand and fresh. 

Natural exfoliating scrub

Sea salt is amazing for exfoliating. Generally, if you spend a lot of time swimming in the sea or ocean you might not need it since it already nourishes your skin. On the other hand, if you live far from the coast, you can buy some sea salt and combine it with different ingredients to make a DIY body scrub. You can mix it with yogurt, olive oil, or other essential oils. It will leave your skin soft and spotless. 

Beach waves in your hair

Australian girls can pour some ocean water into a bottle with a sprayer and use it to make natural-looking beach waves. It is a hairstyle that is simple, looks natural and never requires heat so it keeps your hair healthy. If you can’t get natural ocean water, just take a look at some DIY salt hair spray recipes. 

Australians have amazing flora and fauna and they take the best out of it to maintain their good looks and health. Take their lifestyle as an example and provide yourself with some natural beauty ingredients. Don’t forget though, the regular visit to a dermatologist in case you have some skin issues that can’t be remedied by those handmade cosmetic products.
