Spooky Season Self-Care: Natural Ways to Keep Your Skin (and Conscience) Clear This Halloween

Halloween isn’t just for kids - it’s one of the most playful, creative times of year. From fancy-dress parties and autumn festivals to cosy nights with friends, there’s something magical about this season. But with all the makeup, costume glitter and late nights, your skin (and your conscience) might need a little post-party care.

Here’s how to stay feeling fresh and naturally protected - no tricks, just treats.

1. Choose natural skincare that loves your skin back

Heavy face paints and synthetic makeup can leave your skin dry or irritated. When it’s time to wash it all away, reach for gentle, plant-based products that cleanse without stripping. Look for formulas that are biodegradable, free from harsh chemicals and packed with natural moisturisers. Your skin, and the planet, will thank you.

2. Hydrate, inside and out

Central heating, late nights and cooler weather can all take their toll on your skin. Keep a nourishing lotion or body oil handy to rehydrate and soothe, especially on elbows and hands. A natural body lotion rich in coconut or aloe is perfect for calming post-party skin.

3. Swap out the scary stuff

If you’re embracing Halloween glam, try eco glitter or natural pigments instead of microplastics. Choose reusable decorations, refillable candles, and packaging that’s recyclable or compostable. It’s all part of creating less waste - and more conscious celebration.

4. Sleep, restore, repeat

Even a few hours of lost sleep can make your skin look tired and dull. A warm shower before bed with a gentle, aromatherapy body wash helps your body unwind (and removes any last traces of makeup or glitter).

5. Protect naturally, every day

Halloween might be once a year, but your skin deserves kind, natural care all year round. incognito’s range of vegan, cruelty-free bodycare and natural protection products are designed to support your skin and the planet - so you can look good, feel good and do good.
