From Beach to Brunch: The Low-Maintenance Beauty Routine You’ll Love
When the Aussie summer hits, the last thing you want is to spend an hour in front of the mirror. Between salty swims, sunny brunches, and Christmas catch-ups, you need a beauty routine that’s easy, glowy, and lasts through it all. Here’s how to stay fresh-faced and confident from beach to brunch, no touch-ups required.
1. Start with Healthy, Hydrated Skin
The foundation of any effortless look is great skin. Swap heavy creams for lightweight, hydrating serums that won’t melt in the heat. Think hyaluronic acid for moisture, niacinamide for oil control, and SPF (always!). For an extra boost, in-clinic treatments like Hydro-Infusion Facials or Skin Needling can help keep your complexion smooth, plump, and radiant through summer.
2. Skip Mascara — Try a Korean Lash Lift Instead
Mascara and beach days just don’t mix. A Korean Lash Lift gives your lashes a soft, natural curl that opens the eyes and lasts 6–8 weeks, meaning you’ll wake up ready to go. It’s gentle on your lashes and withstands heat, salt water, and sweat. Pair it with a lash tint for a dark, glossy finish that needs zero maintenance.
3. Hybrid Brows for That “Woke Up Like This” Look
Gone are the days of smudged pencil or powder brows. Hybrid brow tinting stains both the skin and hair, giving a fuller, long-lasting finish that can last up to two weeks on the skin and nearly six on the brow hairs. Whether you’re heading to a beach BBQ or Sunday brunch, your brows will stay perfectly defined without the daily effort.
4. Add a Touch of Glow (Without the Grease)
Swap heavy foundations for tinted SPF or a light mineral BB cream. Add a dab of cream blush or bronzer for warmth, and a touch of highlighter on cheekbones to fake that “just got back from holiday” glow. Keep blotting papers in your bag for shine control throughout the day.
5. Protect & Refresh Throughout the Day
Keep a misting spray in your beach tote, it’ll cool, refresh, and keep your skin hydrated in the sun. Reapply SPF every 2–3 hours and treat your skin at night with a calming mask or hydrating serum to repair and rebalance after sun exposure.
Your Summer, Simplified
This season is all about effortless beauty, treatments that work for you, not ones that need constant upkeep. With lifted lashes, defined brows, and healthy skin, you’ll be glowing from beach to brunch (and everywhere in between).
