Cheat Sheet to Kickstart a Realistic Wellness Routine
In the whirlwind of the daily hustle, finding the time to prioritize our wellness journey can sometimes feel challenging. But by introducing a few small changes and embracing a perfectly imperfect wellness routine, we can unlock the gateway to a happier, healthier version of ourselves. Let's dive into some practical tips and tricks to kickstart your realistic (and achievable!) wellness journey. FOOD When our schedules fill up, what we eat can sometimes take a backseat, but fueling your body with nourishing food doesn't have to be a challenge. Often, a little preparation can go a long way. Planning ahead of time and cooking meals that can feed you over multiple days can save time and keep you on track with your health goals. Think batches of overnight oats, nutritious soups and delicious curries. Focus on incorporating whole, nutrient-dense foods into your meals and opt for colorful vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. EXERCISE Squeezing in a rigorous workout may seem daunting, especially with a packed schedule. Keep it simple and kickstart your exercise routine by focusing on movement that brings you joy, whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood, an at-home workout, a dance class, or a short yoga session. Consistency is key, so start small and gradually build up. The goal is not perfection but the integration of movement into your daily routine. Fitness apps are a great way to make exercise more fun and keep you on track. ENERGY BOOSTERS While coffee is a staple for many, consider swapping it out for tasty Matcha. This green tea alternative provides a slower release of caffeine, avoiding the highs and lows associated with coffee. The sustained energy boost from Matcha allows for increased focus without the jitters. It's a small but impactful change that can positively influence your daily productivity and mood. Nothing impacts our energy levels more than sleep, so try your best to establish a relaxing bedtime routine, limit screen time before sleep, and create a cosy sleep environment. Even in the midst of the daily grind, find pockets of time for deep breaths or a quick 5-minute meditation. HYDRATION Water is a multitasker, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, and transporting essential elements throughout the body. It is also great for our skin! Keep those hydration levels high by purchasing a refillable water bottle and carrying it around like it's your sidekick. Natural, sugar-free electrolyte powders can be mixed with water, providing hydration and essential minerals. And for those looking to cut down on sodas, get your fizzy fix by adding a squeeze of lime to soda water for a refreshing drink. SKINCARE Skincare is a form of self-care and an important addition to any wellness routine, but finding the time to give your skin a bit of self-care can always be a challenge! If you are short on time, use 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ and 2 drops of your favorite Jurlique Face Oil for a quick and easy ritual that will leave your skin softened, refreshed and hydrated. Embarking on a wellness journey doesn't have to be overwhelming. By incorporating these simple tips into your daily routine, you can kickstart a realistic and sustainable daily ritual that aligns with your busy lifestyle. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection. Kickstart your wellness ritual

Combating life’s stressors with Herbal Recovery
A step-by-step guide to the Herbal Recovery range When you’re rushing between work, home, social gatherings and more, we often forget how environmental stressors can directly impact our skin. That’s why we created the Herbal Recovery range – it acts as armor for your skin, helping to protect it from daily stressors like air pollution, harsh weather and more. Join us as we take you through how to use each product, helping you create a self-care ritual that provides reprieve from everyday stressors. But First, What Are Exposomes & How Do They Affect Skin? Exposome is the technical term for environmental and lifestyle stressors. From harsh weather to air pollution, exposomes are all around us. Over time, exposomes can weaken the skin barrier contributing to premature skin ageing. Although exposomes can’t be completely avoided, having a self-care ritual paired with the right skincare products is one of the most effective ways to combat it. A Self-Care Ritual for Revitalized, Resilient & Radiant skin Our Herbal Recovery range ritual helps you embark on a journey towards bettering your mindset and emotional wellbeing, while helping to protect your skin from the effects of exposomes. Here’s how to incorporate them into your self-care ritual. Cleanse the Day Away Begin by double cleansing away any stress from the day. The Nourishing Cleansing Oil melts into a milky emulsion that gently removes makeup, sunscreen, environmental pollutants and impurities. Do a second cleanse with the Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser to refresh skin and prep it for the next steps. Hydrate & Condition Cleansed Skin Apply and press a few drops of our bestselling Activating Water Essence+ into the face, neck and decolletage. Farm-grown Marshmallow Root extract nourishes the skin and allows for better absorption of products that follow. Strengthen your Skin Moisture Barrier Warm four to five drops of the Herbal Recovery Bi-Phase Serum into your palms, then gently press into the face, neck and decolletage. Holy Basil, Iris Root, Echinacea and Black Elderflower help energize skin and protect the skin moisture barrier for improved resilience against environmental stressors. Reduce Puffy Eyes & Dark Circles When we’ve got a busy schedule, sometimes we sacrifice sleep to make up for lost time. The Herbal Recovery Eye Oil Roll-On uses a cooling ball applicator to massage, reawaken and illuminate tired eyes, powered by a blend of Poppy Extract and Turmeric Root. For eyes experiencing loss of elasticity, the Herbal Recovery Eye Cream is rich in natural antioxidants to target wrinkles, dehydration and puffiness around the delicate eye area. Gently tap with your fingertips to create a relaxing massaging experience. Seal in the Nourishing Botanicals Every skin type requires a moisturizer, come rain, hail or shine. To seal in the nourishing botanicals, finish your self-care ritual with our Herbal Recovery Cream. Infused with Australian native Kakadu Plum for more radiant, supple skin with fine lines and wrinkles smoothed. Warm a pearl-sized amount between the fingertips, then gently massage the product with slow, circular motions until absorbed. For a soothing self-care ritual, add three to five drops of the Herbal Recovery Face Oil and press it onto the skin. The Tomato Fruit Extract helps reveal radiant, brighter skin. The natural scent soothes your senses, getting you ready for bed. Shop our Herbal Recovery range here.

JOURNEY TO THE JAR: THE STORY OF OUR YARROW
In Greek mythology, the herb Yarrow was considered so powerful it was believed to bestow immortality on those who bathed in its waters. According to legend, Achilles was one such hero, having been dipped in the Yarrow-laced water of the river Styx by his mother when he was a baby. Alas, a spot was missed – his so-called Achilles heel – which would prove to be his fatal weakness in battle. Yarrow’s Latin name – Achillea millefolium – still hints at this legendary association.We’ve grown Yarrow on the Jurlique farm for many years and its ability to promote smoother, firmer skin makes it a star ingredient in many of our natural-based products, including our iconic Herbal Recovery range. Here’s a look at the journey this plant undergoes, as it progresses from seed to skin care.Breeding more seedsWe’ve recently increased the volume of Yarrow that’s planted on the farm, and to do this, our first step is always to collect the seeds from our existing plants. We then propagate the seeds in the hothouse on the farm.Room to growYarrow is a perennial plant that’s strong, resilient and grows very quickly. We like to give it plenty of room to grow, otherwise it can “choke” itself. As with all the botanicals on our organic farm, Yarrow grows without the use of synthetic pesticides or insecticides.Carefully hand-pickedWe have a dedicated team that picks each and every botanical by hand. Harvesting of the Yarrow takes place in the springtime, and only occurs when the flowers are at their peak. This maximises the potency of their active ingredients, which help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.Drying for a continuous supplyThe Yarrow’s flowers are laid flat on large racks and placed in our heated drying cupboards; it typically takes around five or six days for them to dry completely. The dried plants can be stored for up to three years without compromising their natural, skin-enhancing properties, so we always have enough on hand to ensure a continuous supply of the best quality extracts.Extraction beginsWe follow our exclusive extraction method, to capture as many vital nutrients from our botanicals as possible. This proprietary process captures the pure, potent and active essential nutrients and minerals from the plants. The Yarrow extract is then transported to our nearby Natural Beauty Plant. It’s here that this beautiful botanical becomes a key component in your favourite products like our radiance-restoring Herbal Recovery Signature Serum.

How to create a mindful ritual
Our hands hold a lot of power, serving as a bridge to our senses while connecting us to the world around us. Yet, in the midst of our daily skincare rituals, we sometimes overlook our hardworking hands. Incorporating hand care into your daily ritual presents an opportunity to show your hands some love while calming the mind and bringing a greater awareness to your senses. Here are a few tips on how to give your hands the tender, loving care they deserve: STEP 1 Wash with intention | The simple act of washing your hands can be transformed into a mindful ritual. Pay attention to the temperature of the water and the sensations on your skin, and use this time to intentionally wash away the stresses of the day. STEP 2 Nourish your hands: Jurlique's luxurious hand creams, enriched with farm-grown botanicals, are the perfect way to pamper your hands. The creamy texture provides a tactile experience that's both soothing and rejuvenating. Massage Jurlique’s Lavender or Rose Hand Cream into your hands, paying special attention to the palms and each finger, allowing the rich formulation to absorb deeply, leaving your hands soft, smooth and revitalized. STEP 3 Show your cuticles some love: Jurlique’s multi-purpose Rare Rose Face Oil, infused with Jurlique Rose Extract and a blend of plant oils, is the perfect way to nourish your cuticles. Using only a couple of drops, use your thumb to press the oil gently along the base of each nail. STEP 4 Hand massage: Take a self-care moment each day and indulge in a mini hand massage. Using Jurlique's Citrus or Jasmine Hand Cream, begin by rubbing your palms together to generate heat, then gently knead each finger and the spaces between them. Finish with soothing strokes along the back of your hand, allowing tension to melt away. Incorporating hand care into your daily ritual is an act of self-care that extends far beyond skincare. It's an opportunity to nurture your hands, calm your mind, and awaken your senses. By infusing intention, nourishment, and touch into this simple ritual, you can help improve your wellbeing and celebrate the remarkable power of touch. Show your hands some love with Jurlique hand creams.
