From seed to skin: the art of slow beauty
Embracing the art of slow beauty Nature is our inspiration. And just as nature takes time to grow and flourish, so do we. When you’re deep in the throes of life, slow beauty can be your saving grace – helping you pause, reflect and make time for yourself. So how do you embrace slow beauty and a slower lifestyle? Fret not, we’re here to help. Slow beauty: a thoughtful approach to achieving replenished, radiant skin Through our commitment to biodynamic^ farming, our practices allow us to harness nature’s power at its highest potency, bringing its benefits straight to your skin. We treat our farm as an integrated, living ecosystem, continuously enriching our soil with nutrients. Guided by the moon and planets, our ingredients are brought to life without harmful pesticides and herbicides. At Jurlique, time is our friend. The art of slow beauty follows a similar approach. In short, it’s about creating meaningful results over time rather than opting for an overnight fix. Through consistency, moderation and taking things slow, your skin can embark on a natural process of renewal and recovery on its own terms. In doing so, your skin is left replenished, supple and revitalized. The journey of our plants: understanding our Bio-Intrinsic™ Method Our planting starts on our biodynamic^ farm in South Australia’s Adelaide Hills – a place renowned for its clean air and ideal climate. When the botanicals are ready to be extracted for use, we undergo our exclusive Bio-Intrinsic™ Method to harness their powers and create the best possible formulations for your skin. Through a three-step process of purification, intensification and ashing, we reunify these active natural ingredients into our products so they can work in harmony together. “Tending to the soil mirrors the care you provide for your skin. It's a gradual process involving collaboration with nature, aligning with its natural flow, and incorporating layers of nutrients to enhance soil vitality, promoting the growth of healthy plants. Just as enriching your skin with nutrients overtime imparts a natural radiance." -Cherie, Jurlique Farm Manager The nature inside our Herbal Recovery range Our new Herbal Recovery range ritual empowers you to live slower, helping you embark on a journey towards emotional wellbeing and of course, healthier-looking skin. We handpicked four farm-grown botanicals that help your skin recover from the hustle and bustle of everyday life: Holy Basil | Known as the “elixir of life” in Ayurveda and a potent adaptogen, to help minimize signs of skin ageing Iris Root | Supports skin recovery to alleviate signs of stress and fatigue Echinacea | Has antioxidant benefits that help protect the skin from environmental stressors Black Elderflower | Can help exfoliate dull skin to reveal younger looking skin. Just as nature takes time, so should you Ageing is an inevitable part of life, but with our Herbal Recovery range , your skin can age gracefully, at your pace, on your terms. Just because life moves fast, doesn’t mean you have to. Good things take time, so start embracing slower living with skincare that replenish and revitalize tired looking skin. ^Certified biodynamic by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia.

Reveal resilient skin with the Herbal Recovery Range
Embrace slow living and healthy-looking skin with our Herbal Recovery Range When life moves fast, it’s even more important to slow down, pause and reflect. Discover our new Herbal Recovery range and the science behind radiant, resilient, revitalized skin. In a world that rushes forward, we often forget the beauty of time.

Our Herbal Recovery range addresses exactly this, revitalizing and replenishing tired looking skin to reveal your natural, radiant glow. But how exactly does it work? Here’s how the power of nature inspired this new range . Understanding exposome First, let’s understand what exposome is. We actually experience it every day, from the effects of harsh weather on our skin to the late nights when we’ve lost track of time after scrolling on social media. Exposomes are the lifestyle factors or environmental stressors that can affect our skin over time. While not completely preventable – these factors are a part of life after all – it’s important to understand that prolonged exposure can weaken skin moisture barrier and accelerate the skin ageing process.

Holy Basil | Known as the “elixir of life” in Ayurveda and a potent adaptogen, to help minimize signs of skin ageing Iris Root | Supports skin recovery to alleviate signs of stress and fatigue Echinacea | Has antioxidant benefits that help protect the skin from environmental stressors Black Elderflower | can help exfoliate dull skin to reveal younger looking skin.

Discover the holistic benefits of body oils
Skincare has the power to transform the appearance and texture of our skin, whether smoothing fine lines, creating a more even skin tone, or giving a boost of hydration to reveal supple, soft skin. But what is perhaps overlooked is the way that skincare, when infused with aromatic botanicals, can also have a profound effect on the mind, soul, and senses. Body oils, rich in natural oils and botanical extracts, are a prime example of skincare that can nourish the skin while igniting the senses for a full-body sensory experience. Let’s explore some of the holistic benefits of body oils. AWAKEN YOUR SENSES Jurlique Body oils are formulated with a minimum of 97% natural origin ingredients* that have the power to awaken the senses, with fragrant aromas that each hold unique qualities and benefits. Gentle lavender is known for its calming and relaxing properties; rose is known to balance and soothe, while lemon can help refresh and uplift the senses. *Based on ISO 16128-1 and ISO 16128-2 (including formulation water) NOURISH YOUR SKIN While botanicals ignite the senses, they also contain naturally occurring antioxidants which may help to protect against environmental aggressors. Nurturing body oils with ingredients such as jojoba, safflower, and macadamia oils also have the power to soften, soothe, and hydrate the skin. Safflower oil, sourced from safflower seeds, is high in linoleic acid and known for its softening properties, whilst jojoba oil forms a lipid layer that protects against moisture loss. TREAT YOUR BODY & MIND Whether you are looking to relax, calm the mind, elevate your mood, or give your dehydrated skin some love, body oils can soothe both body and mind. Body oils can be used in multiple ways. Both a nourishing moisturizer for the body and soothing massage oil to melt away any tension. Oils can be incorporated into your morning or evening routine and are the perfect addition to your daily self-care ritual; just add a few drops to a relaxing bath and allow a sense of calm to wash over your body. Allow nature to transform your senses and elevate your skincare experience with Jurlique’s Rose, Lavender, and Lemon body oils. Experience the benefits of indulgent body oils

BOTANICALS FOR SOFTER SKIN
Many complexion concerns focus on the skin’s visible appearance: lines, wrinkles, redness, pigmentation and dullness. It makes sense – these are, of course, the qualities we’re most likely to notice when looking in the mirror. But equal attention should be given to the way your skin feels. Is it rough, tight or dehydrated? Let’s see how you can overcome both.Achieving skin that feels soft, hydrated and well-balanced takes commitment and regular use of the right botanical ingredients. That’s the true wonder of the Rose – this gorgeous flower craves six hours of sun per day and yet boasts delicately soft petals with unique hydrating properties.One of our favourite Rose varieties grown on the Jurlique farm in South Australia is Rosa gallica. Not only does it have the most sublime scent, it’s also known for its superior hydrating properties, capable of restoring the skin and leaving it feeling soft and supple.While Rose is gentle enough for most skin types, those with very sensitive skin can benefit even more from soothing botanicals, like our farm-grown Calendula. This botanical is rich in antioxidants and oleanolic acid, which helps to calm the complexion and soothe even the most sensitive skin. It’s also ideal for skin that reacts to environmental aggressors.For skin that’s very dry or dehydrated, a botanical oil, such as Rose Hip or Safflower, is full of essential fatty acids to deeply nourish. They provide immediate relief from dehydration and over time, help restore balance to the skin so that it feels softer and looks smoother. Once sub-par skin will finally feel satisfied – as will that face in the mirror.Where to find these botanicals…Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Lotion contains Rosa gallica extract to hydrate and soften skinhttp://www.jurlique.com.au/rose-moisturising-lotionCalendula Redness Rescue Soothing Moisturising Cream deeply hydrates and soothes skinhttp://www.jurlique.com.au/calendula-redness-rescue-soothing-moisturising-creamSkin Balancing Face Oil is enriched with nourishing Rose Hip and Safflower oilshttp://www.jurlique.com.au/skin-balancing-face-oil-new

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SERUMS
When it comes to skincare, serums cause the most confusion. What do they do? And where do they fit into your skincare routine? Surely, it’s one skin care step too far? The short answer is: serums are packed with potent ingredients to boost the health, hydration and vibrancy of your skin - so if you don’t swear by a serum yet, it’s time to start. Here’s our fool proof guide to face serums.What is a serum, exactly?Savvy skin care is all about layering, choosing products that complement each other in each step of your skin care ritual. Face serums are lightweight (but potent) formulas designed to provide your skin with extra hydration as well as target specific skin care concerns, such as fine lines or dullness. They’re formulated with high concentrations of active ingredients (higher than your traditional moisturiser) so only a few drops are needed to get the full benefits. Think of it as your essential skin care problem solver and complexion booster, all wrapped up into one.How do serums differ from moisturisers?Moisturisers are rich and creamy, creating a protective barrier on top of your skin to prevent any moisture from escaping while locking in the benefits of the previous products you’ve used in your ritual. While serums can contain moisturising ingredients (like Rosehip Oil in the Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Daily Moisture Balancing Serum), they have a thin consistency and don’t lock in moisture like creams and lotions do.How to use serumsSkin care products are applied thinnest to thickest, so use after cleansing, toning, and applying our Activating Water Essence (which activates skin’s ability to retain moisture). Gently press 1-2 pumps of serum over your face, neck and décolletage and leave to sink in before applying your eye cream and moisturiser.Which serum is right for you?The best way to choose is to think of your biggest skin care concern and pick a serum that targets it best – or, have a few that you can switch up. Is your skin more dehydrated than usual? Use a hydrating serum. Long-haul flight left you feeling a bit dull and lacklustre? Reach for your face brightening serum. And if you’re not sure what your biggest skin concern is, read our guide to understanding your skin type.Dryness and deydrationRecommended serum: Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Daily Moisture Balancing Serum. With Marshmallow Root Extract that draws precious moisture to the skin and Rosehip Oil for long-lasting hydration, this is our best face serum for dry skin.Dullness and first signs of ageingRecommended serum: Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Serum.

This serum contains Beech Tree Bud extract, known to improve skin firmness and help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.Deep lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticityRecommended serum: Jurlique Nutri-Define Superior Retexturising Facial Serum. Containing fatty acids derived from plant oils that hydrate and improve the skin’s barrier function, and Oat Kernel Extract to soften and calm the skin, this silky serum addresses multiple signs of ageing.Sensitivity and irritationRecommended serum: Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Restorative Treatment Serum, containing Calendula, Chamomile and Echinacea Extracts to soothe and rebalance the skin.Discolouration and sun damageRecommended serum: Jurlique Purely White Skin Brightening Essence.

DISCOVER NEW HERBAL RECOVERY
What causes skin to change with age?The natural process of ageing changes the appearance and texture of skin over time. Influenced by a variety of factors — from internal ones such as genetics, to environmental factors such as sun and diet — the effects are different for each and every one of us.While many signs of skin ageing aren’t visible until we reach our 30s or 40s, the process actually begins as early as our 20s. This is when the body gradually starts lessening its production of collagen and elastin, both responsible for skin strength, elasticity and youthfulness.As we evolve with age, so too should your skin care ritual.Finding a regime that’s unique to your skin type and lifestyle can radically promote more youthful-looking skin and restore your skin’s natural, signature glow.The completely remastered Herbal Recovery rangeCreated over 20 years ago, our first Herbal Recovery product defied expectations, delivering superior visible results from pure and natural ingredients from the Jurlique Farm.Now one of our most iconic ranges has been completely remastered, for our latest breakthrough in age-defying effectiveness.The new Herbal Recovery range has been meticulously developed as a complete ritual, to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin dullness, and restore your skin’s natural, signature glow.Every aspect of the new range has been remastered to embody the latest in age defying skin care.
