BeautyWinter style survival
Welcome winter, we’ve been waiting for you.
There’s no denying Melbourne’s famed weather can pack a punch in the colder months and while we’re wardrobe-ready, it’s time to start thinking about our own wider wellbeing.
Improving your overall health is the best gift you can give yourself, and while important, health goes far beyond lifting weights and watching your waistline.
It’s all about balance.
From escaping the hustle and bustle of Collins Street to finding your inner immunity, our winter survival guide will have you flexing your yoga flow, nourishing your skin and discovering unexpected superfoods to carry you through the chill.
SKINCARE
As we layer up in sweaters and heavy coats, our face remains unprotected against the harsher elements, which can leave our skin dehydrated. Zero in on your night-time routine with Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair range to ensure a hydrated and balanced complexion all season long.

YOGA
While cold mornings and dark nights are not particularly conducive to encouraging you to get on your mat, yoga is one of the most beneficial exercises to commit yourself to during the coldest months of the year. Find your inner zen when practicing asana (postures) through Vinyasa-style flows.

SUPERFOODS
Introducing mineral-packed superfoods in our diet can lead to improved immune systems and help fight off nasty winter colds. This one might surprise you, but cacao-based dark chocolate is one of the best natural sources of antioxidants, iron, magnesium and zinc – an important trace mineral for immune function. Yep, we just gave you the green light to eat chocolate guilt-free.
