SUNDAY LANE’S CAITLYN EVERETT ON HER CREATIVE PROCESS - Jurlique US

SUNDAY LANE’S CAITLYN EVERETT ON HER CREATIVE PROCESS

Author, illustrator and creative Caitlyn Everett is the brains behind Sunday Lane, a small Brisbane-based business that inspires us daily with its modern, whimsical zodiac illustrations and verses.In celebration of our latest Adriana Picker-designed limited-edition products – Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition and Jurlique Rose Luxe Edition Hand Cream – we spoke to Caitlyn about her own creative process and how she incorporates the products into her own daily routine.Tell us about your work and what you do?I am the owner of Sunday Lane, a store and studio that centres on modern-day poetry, or affirmation and inspired gifting. We are best known for our zodiac collection, a blend of verses of powerful musings and illustration. I am the dreamer behind the brand, an author, illustrator, creative.How did you get into this position?I was working full time for a beautiful small business, and I mean, I was working myself into the ground. I gave everything I had into my work and I honestly wasn't really looking or searching for more. Sunday Lane was born by chance, a personal project turned business idea and it wasn't until it began taking off that I became discontent. I feel like I got a taste of life as my own boss and I worked really hard at it before I felt like I could back myself and quit my job.Woman’s hand resting on magazine next to tube of Jurlique hand creamDescribe your process when it comes to your work - how do you tackle a new project?Every project I've worked on has been such a learning process for me. In the beginning it was all energy and excitement and I would work 18-hour days to get new designs out but having my son, Morgan has helped me slow down. I am also more aware of my brand, who we are and where we are heading now. Our most recent project, the Zodiac 03 collection, was months of planning and research, of illustrating and writing. We also brought on a local press studio, so we really had to accept and embrace the beauty of handmade. It was such a blessing to work with such a knowledgeable and talented artist on an artform completely out of my comfort zone.What challenges do you face in your work?My biggest challenge has been defining and enforcing a work/life balance. The reality of being a small business is that we are almost always working, in store, at home, at night and on weekends. It is very hard to switch off and part of me doesn't want to. It is my passion and I love to pour myself into my work. Having a young family has made me want to be able to switch off more.When you're experiencing a creative block, how do you get out of it?To get away from my screen and remove myself from the overstimulation of the online world. It is so easy to get caught up in it all. It's a never-ending rabbit hole.In my worst hours, or days of creative block the only thing that has helped is time, and moments away from work. My biggest lesson is that creativity comes in waves and it cannot be forced. If I trust the process, the magic will follow.Tube of Jurlique hand cream on plate next to gold rings What advice would you give to others who are looking to explore their creativity?Trust your gut and be prepared to put in the work.I dropped out of teaching to study interior design at college and in a roundabout way it got me to where I am today. If I hadn't taken the gigantic leap who knows where I would be. Of course, it is easier said than done and I was definitely someone that had a plan b. I think it is a little romantic to say I went into it with blind faith and just crossed my fingers it would work. I had a home and a family I needed to support. I worked really hard to make it my reality.Talk us through how you use your Jurlique products throughout your day?Everyone who knows me knows I am terrible with my skin care routine. Jurlique has been an absolute blessing and I've actually been carrying these products with me every day between our studio and the store. The Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition is such a low maintenance solution for someone who is time poor and both of these beauties have really helped bring me back to life after long nights preparing our new collections. They are the perfect addition to my very short morning and night routine.

8 OVERNIGHT BEAUTY TIPS FROM A SKIN CARE SPECIALIST - Jurlique US

8 OVERNIGHT BEAUTY TIPS FROM A SKIN CARE SPECIALIST

You don’t have to go to a spa or a salon to keep your skin, hands and feet looking their best. There are a few at-home treatments you can do in the evening that will give your skin that extra bit of TLC when it needs it most and the best thing is, you can leave them to do their work while you sleep. We asked Jurlique Education Specialist Danielle for her top overnight beauty tips – pair them with an at-home spa day for even more indulgence.1. Create your own sleeping mask. Massage our Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask into your skin at night in the place of your normal night cream 2-3 times a week for a ‘sleeping mask’ treatment. This will help deeply moisturise dry and dehydrated skin.2. Indulge in a nourishing hand treatment. Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask can also be used on your hands. Massage a layer all over your hands and put on cotton gloves before going to bed for the ultimate softening treatment for dry, chapped hands. This is amazing to get hands ready for the big day for brides or a special occasion where your hands will be on show - or just to restore moisture after lots of washing and sanitising!3. Look after your feet. Exfoliate dry skin on your feet with a pedi paddle or body exfoliant, then rinse away. Massage a generous amount of a body lotion such as our Softening Rose Body Cream into feet and heels and pop on socks before hopping into bed. Massage any excess on hands into knees and elbows. Do this nightly until feet and heels are smooth and soft and then continue twice a week to maintain.4. Apply a face oil. Massage skin with Skin Balancing Face Oil after applying your serum and before night cream prior to bed to restore a soft healthy glow to your skin. Avoid going too close to the eye area. Use slow, relaxing, upwards strokes to release tension. This is best done the night before your hair washing days.Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil next to green plant 5. Use an oil for nourishing lip treatment. Apply a layer of Skin Balancing Face Oil on dry lips prior to applying your evening moisturiser all over the face and neck. Lips will feel nourished and moisturised upon waking, and it also helps your lipstick glide on in the morning.6. Apply Jojoba Oil to your hair. If you have dry hair and a sensitive scalp, massage Jojoba Carrier Oil deeply into your scalp and through hair concentrating on the ends, leaving it on overnight. Wrap your hair or place a hand towel on your pillow to protect it. Wash out in the morning with Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner for amazing shine and softness. Repeat twice a week.7. Hydrate your skin. If your skin is feeling dehydrated, apply a very fine layer of Moisture Plus Rare Rose Gel Cream over your serum and under your usual moisturiser at night. Continue for 7 days for an intense hydration booster, then return to your normal skin care ritual.Jurlique Moisture Plus Rare Rose Gel Cream on white linen napkin t 8. Treat your breakouts. As soon as you notice a breakout beginning, massage a small amount of Purifying Mask over the affected area/lesion only and leave on overnight. In the morning, the breakout will be far less noticeable and should dissipate sooner.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FACE ESSENCES - Jurlique US

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FACE ESSENCES

Essences have been at the core of Korean skincare routines forever. And now, the K-Beauty trend has made its way into shelves around the world. But what is an essence exactly, and how can it take your skin to the next level? We answer all your questions in our guide to skin care essences – and why they’re a staple in the Jurlique skin care ritual.What is an essence?An essence is a hybrid between a toner and a serum, hydrating and prepping the skin for the rest of your skin care ritual. They have a fluid, lightweight and almost watery texture, and have a low molecular weight which means they can penetrate the layers of the skin. You’ll know a good essence by the hydrating ingredients it contains – look for high concentrations of antioxidants and botanicals.The benefits of using an essenceSkin needs to be damp for skin care products to be absorbed. This is what an essence does – it hydrates and conditions the skin to prepare it for the serums, oils and moisturisers to follow. Not only that, but essences balance and nourish the skin after cleansing and toning. With regular use, you’ll soon be able to see the visible benefits, as essences revitalise the skin, and smooth and brighten the complexion.Are essences suitable for all skin types?In a word – yes. There are different types of skin essence, with some formulated for all skin types, and others that address specific skin concerns like dullness or uneven skin tone, but they’ll suit everyone. The lightweight texture of essences is ideal for oily skin, while their super-hydrating formulas make them especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Most people are susceptible to dry skin at some point, though, so essences should form a part of everyone’s skin care ritual.How to apply an essenceUse your essence morning and night, after your toning mist and before your serum. Pour a couple of drops into the palm of your hands (don’t use a cotton pad – it will waste the product and your hands are much more effective) and gently press into your face, neck and décolletage.Why we created the Activating Water EssenceOur Activating Water Essence is an essential part of our skin care ritual. It’s one of our must-have hero products thanks to it revitalising, softening and smoothing skin while continuously hydrating it. The formula is rich in Marshmallow Root extract that comes straight from our biodynamic# Jurlique Farm in the Adelaide Hills, and also contains high-performance botanical extracts that make it an ideal hydrating skin care product.

5 REASONS TO USE ACTIVATING WATER ESSENCE - Jurlique US

5 REASONS TO USE ACTIVATING WATER ESSENCE

Essences are exploding in the skin care world – and for good reason. Essences are fluid formulas that hydrate and nourish the skin and prime it for serums (for an in-depth look into face essences, read our guide here. At Jurlique, we swear by our Activating Water Essence – it’s at the very heart of the Jurlique skin care ritual and is our secret to clear, smooth skin. Here are five reasons why you should start using it on the regular.It deeply hydrates the skinActivating Water Essence is formulated to continuously hydrate the skin. It contains emollients and high-performing botanical extracts to attract and hold water for a smoother, softer and healthier-looking complexion. In other words, it improves the skin’s barrier and activates its ability to retain moisture. When skin is hydrated, it can better protect itself, as well as absorb other skin care products more effectively. When we gave it to 52 women aged 25 to 50 to try for 14 days, 88% said their skin felt continuously hydrated.It makes your skin care work harderWant to get the most out of your skin care? As a hydration booster, Activating Water Essence could be the answer. It primes your skin and helps the skin care products you apply afterwards (namely, your serum and moisturiser) to penetrate into the layers of your skin. Think of your skin like a sponge. Anything you put on top of a dry sponge will just sit there, but a damp one will absorb it. Your skin is just the same.It smooths and softens the complexionThe lightweight formula of Activating Water Essence is infused with nutrients to smooth, soften and condition the skin. It features Marshmallow Root extract (which is super-hydrating and soothing), as well as botanicals grown on the Jurlique Farm – Calendula, Neem, Lavender, Rosemary, Horsetail, Witch Hazel, Nettle and Peach Leaf extract – that work together to activate and soothe the skin. Skin is left balanced, feeling revitalised and comfortable.It renews and revitalises the skinWith our skin exposed to (and battling) elements throughout the day, we need a little help to reenergise it. That’s where Activating Water Essence comes in – the inclusion of Peach Leaf extract in the formula adds radiance back to the skin. It also works to boost skin for a smoother, brighter and healthier-looking complexion (hello, smooth and glowing skin).It’s suitable for all skin typesSkin care for all skin types can be hard to find but Activating Water Essence ticks all the right boxes. Everyone goes through dry or dehydrated skin stages (we’ve got air conditioning, sun exposure and the general ageing process to thank for that) and thanks to Activating Water Essence having a lightweight and gentle formula, it’s ideal for all skin types – including oily skin. Use your Activating Water Essence morning and night after cleansing and toning, and before your serum. To apply, pour a couple of drops into your palms and press gently onto the face, neck and décolletage.Discover hydrated skin for yourself by shopping our Activating Water Essence here.

GUIDE TO MULTI-MASKING - Jurlique US

GUIDE TO MULTI-MASKING

We all know what face masks are. Slathering your face is one is a top-tier self-care moment. But why limit ourselves to applying just one when we can prolong that luxurious feeling while also combating different skin concerns by multi-masking?What is multi-masking?More often than not, your skin is doing different things in different areas. You could have oiliness in your t-zone, dehydration in your cheek area and dull skin everywhere else. Multi-masking is exactly as it sounds, it’s using different face masks in different areas of your face at the same time to target those specific concerns.Mask 1: Congested SkinUsually when your skin is congested, it tends to look tired and dull. You’ll find this happens around the t-zone area (forehead, nose and chin). Apply a mask that has a clay ingredient to that area. Our National Education Specialist, Lindsay Adam, says that Green Clay “assists with clearing out the skin of any impurities and breakouts in the t-zone area”. We recommend using our Intense Recovery Mask which is formulated with a base of naturally sourced Green Clay that absorbs impurities and rebalances. It also includes a blend of our farm grown botanical extracts, including Rose Gallica and Chamomile to help restore radiance to your skin once it has been decongested.Mask 2: Sensitive SkinSoothe any redness or irritation on your cheeks with a calming mask. If you have dry or sensitive cheeks, the last thing you’ll want to do is apply something that dries that area out. Our Nurturing Mask will do the trick! Enriched with nourishing plant-based oils including Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil any signs of redness will be reduced leaving your skin feeling soothed and comforted.Mask 3: HydrationPlump and hydrated skin is always the goal. Once you’ve applied and rinsed off your purifying mask in your t-zone and calming mask on your cheeks, you’ll want to bring back moisture to your skin - something your skin will drink up right away. Apply our Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask to your entire face as an intensive overnight treatment. Made with Rose Oil and Shea Butter, it’ll help address visible signs of dehydration, brighten your skin and improve its overall texture. You’ll wake up with more supple and firm looking skin.Hot Tips:If you can’t hop into the shower to rinse off the masks, Lindsay recommends using a wet facial cloth.You know what your skin’s concerns are best, so before you multi-mask, take the time to figure out what each area really needs before applying. You don’t want to apply an astringent mask to your cheeks if they’re sensitive as it’ll exacerbate the problem. Same with applying hydrating products over congested skin – it’ll only make it worse.Don’t neglect your neck and the sides of our mouth. Apply your hydrating mask to this area fill out any lines and creases.Find multi-masking daunting? You can start with the basic and learn the benefits of using a face mask here.

THE 4 BENEFITS OF PEACH LEAF EXTRACT FOR SKIN - Jurlique US

THE 4 BENEFITS OF PEACH LEAF EXTRACT FOR SKIN

At Jurlique, we’ve been using powerful botanical extracts in our skin care products since 1985, choosing them for their natural, skin benefitting properties. One such ingredient is Prunus persica, or Peach Leaf extract; an ingredient that may not be headline-grabbing like many others in skin care, but one that is important for helping to protect the skin from environmental aggressors, as well as improving the skin’s vitality and radiance of the skin. Here are four benefits of Peach Leaf extract and how you can add it to your skin care ritual.What is Peach Leaf extract?Peach Leaf extract is often listed or known as Prunus persica, which is the Latin name for ‘peach’. For years, extracts taken from the leaf of peach plants have been used for medicinal uses such as relief from morning sickness during pregnancy, treatment of mild coughs and reduction of premenstrual symptoms. At Jurlique, we use it for its skin care properties…The benefits of Peach Leaf extractSkin appears more radiant. Peach Leaf extract helps to reduce signs of pigmentation and boost skin hydration, resulting in skin looking more even toned and feeling moisturised.It’s a natural antioxidant. Peach Leaf extract can help fight free radicals that cause wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin tone and other signs of ageing.It helps calm irritation. Peach Leaf extract is rich in phenolic compounds, which means it can help soothe and calm irritated skin and diminish inflammation. Its soothing properties also make it a good choice for anyone who is dealing with sensitive skin.It helps balance oil production. Peach Leaf extract provides non-greasy, fast absorbed hydration that can help regulate your skin’s natural oil production.How to add Peach Leaf extract to your skin care ritualPeach Leaf extract is one of the key ingredients in our Activating Water Essence, an important step in any skin care ritual. Alongside Marshmallow Root extract, Witch Hazel, Rosemary and Lavender extracts, Peach Leaf extract delivers all the above benefits and helps keep skin healthy-looking and hydrated.

YOUR 6 MOST COMMON SKIN CARE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED - Jurlique US

YOUR 6 MOST COMMON SKIN CARE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Skin care can sometimes be…confusing. With the rise of beauty blogs, influencers and online media, finding information about what skin care products to use, when to use them and how to use them, is easier than ever before. But notice how that advice can be conflicting (not to mention overwhelming?) Sometimes you need input from the pros, so we enlisted our Education Team and asked them to answer some of your most common skin care questions on everything from skin concerns to how use to a certain product.When should I use a hydrating mist?Our signature face Mists can be used as part of your skin care ritual, after cleansing. A few spritzes of mist helps close the pores, refresh skin and prime your face for the next step in your ritual, while delivering nutrients and moisture to the top layers of the skin. They can also be used throughout the day, whenever you need a hit of fresh, lightweight moisture. Take them on the go and give yourself a spritz whenever you’re in need of freshening up, or some extra hydration. Read our guide to face Mists to find out more.What’s the difference between an eye gel and an eye cream?The biggest difference between using an eye gel or eye cream is texture and choosing which one you go for comes down to personal preference and skin type. An eye gel, such as our Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Gel, is typically transparent and lighter and thinner than an eye cream, which means it’s absorbed into the skin more quickly. Eye creams tend to be thicker and richer and are better suited to those with drier skin types.How can I reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines?Ageing is inevitable in all of us and can be most noticeable in our skin. Prevention is always better than cure: always wear a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and start incorporating anti-ageing products into your skin care ritual as soon as possible. If you’re noticing the early signs of ageing, use a targeted serum such as our Herbal Recovery Signature Serum which helps soften the appearance of fine lines, followed by Herbal Recovery Signature Moisturising Cream. For more advanced signs of ageing, our Nutri-Define range has a powerful formula that helps improve the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles to improve skin for a firmer, more resilient complexion.How can I erase dark spots and scars from old blemishes?The best way you can reduce the appearance of dark spots and marks from blemishes is through regular exfoliation. Exfoliating the skin promotes cell and collagen renewal which in turn can fade the appearance of any spots and scars. Use Daily Exfoliating Cream twice a week and follow with your usual skin care ritual.How can I correct uneven skin tone?Brightening skin care products, like those in our Purely White Skin Brightening range, can reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve skin texture to create a more even skin tone. For best results, use a cleanser with a gentle exfoliant to refine surface texture and follow with a brightening mist.What is Marshmallow Root and how does it work?Marshmallow Root is the root of the Marshmallow plant, or to give its botanical name, Althaea officinalis. The root has been used to treat wounds and nourish skin for centuries. Mucilage, a syrup-like liquid found in the root, attracts and retains moisture and provides a barrier that prevents this moisture from escaping. It’s this quality that makes it the ideal active ingredient in a number of intensely hydrating Jurlique products – in fact, it’s the hero ingredient in our essential skin care product, Activating Water Essence.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WATER IN SKIN CARE PRODUCTS - Jurlique US

THE TRUTH ABOUT WATER IN SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Water in skin care products…how effective can it really be? You might get a few sceptical looks when using water-based skin care products, or maybe you’re sceptical yourself. Surely water dilutes the active ingredients, making them less effective?If you’ve ever looked at the ingredients list of our natural-based skin care products, you’ve probably noticed that ‘water’ is included in most of them – and that our Mists and Activating Water Essence are both water-based. And it’s with good reason. Water actually enhances the active ingredients in skin care products, making them even more effective. Here’s everything you need to know about water-based skin care, and how to incorporate it into your skin care ritual.What is water-based skin care? Water-based skin care is any product – cleanser, moisturiser, essence, serum or mist – that uses water as its base ingredient, rather than oil.What are the benefits of water-based skin care?1. They’re deeply hydrating. Skin absorbs water faster than it does oil. Products with a water base can penetrate skin more deeply than those that are oil-based and do so without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Our bodies are about 60% water, so by adding more water into our rituals, we’re helping to hydrate our skin and maintain optimal cellular functioning.2. They’re suitable for most skin types. Depending on what other ingredients are included in the formula, water-based products can be used on most skin types. Our Mists and Activating Water Essence have gentle formulas, which means they can be used on dry, oily and combination skin without causing irritation.3. They’re non-comedogenic. Most water-based products are lightweight so won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts.When should I apply water-based products?The general rule of thumb for applying skin care products is to go from thinnest to thickest, so water-based products should be used towards the beginning or your ritual. After cleansing, spritz two-three pumps of Mist onto your face, followed by pressing two-three drops of Activating Water Essence onto your face, neck and décolletage before applying your serum, eye care and moisturiser.Add high-performing water to your skin care ritual with Activating Water Essence and find out more with our guide to face essences.

WHY YOU SHOULD DOUBLE CLEANSE YOUR SKIN - Jurlique US

WHY YOU SHOULD DOUBLE CLEANSE YOUR SKIN

In recent times, many beauty publications have touted double cleansing as a major breakthrough in skin care. If you’re thinking about jumping on the double cleansing bandwagon, wondering how double cleansing differs from regular cleansing or what the real skin benefits are, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to discover the answer to your questions and more.What is double cleansing?Double cleansing, like many of our now ingrained skin care methods, originated in South Korea and Japan. Essentially, double cleansing is cleansing your skin twice. A technique that involves using two different types of cleansers after one another to deeply remove all traces of makeup, sunscreen, sweat and other surface debris from your face.What are the benefits of double cleansing?1. While cleansing your skin twice doesn’t sound like the kind of party your skin wants to attend because of the “stripping” nature of cleansing, double cleansing really gets to work and ensures that you remove every last bit of surface debris, dead skin cells and impurities that can cause skin break outs, inflammation and irritation.2. Using two different types of products to double cleanse (we’ll hash this out in a moment) means that you’re not only removing surface build-up and gunk, but you’re also getting deep down into your pores to remove pollutants – making your cleansing ritual far more effective.3. If you wear makeup daily, then this one’s for you. Double cleansing helps break down your makeup so that you’re not scrubbing at your skin or using an excess of harsh makeup wipes. There’s no more dreading removing your makeup after a long day.4. As a result of effectively cleaning your pores, another benefit is an overall more radiant, less congested, even skin tone. Clarified pores = healthier looking skin.Double cleansing methodHere’s the fun part. In order to double cleanse, all you need is: an oil cleanser, a muslin cloth or face towel, and a cream, lotion, gel or foam cleanser that suits your skin type. Once you’ve got all your tools, follow the steps below:1. Massage 2-3 pumps of your oil cleanser (we recommend our Nourishing Cleansing Oil) onto dry skin including the eye area using circular motions.2. Next you can either wet your muslin cloth, face cloth or face towel with warm water, wring out the excess water and then place the cloth onto your face gently to swipe away the product. Or as you add warm water to the Nourishing Cleansing Oil once applied - on contact with water - the oil transforms into a rich cleansing milk that hydrates and softens the skin as it removes makeup including waterproof mascara, excess oil, pollution and impurities.3. After rinsing/swiping away the emulsified oil, it’s time to cleanse with your regular cream, lotion, gel or foam cleanser and rinse off as normal.Choosing a second cleanserAs always, be sure to choose a cleanser that suits your skin type. Keep in mind with double cleansing, your regular cleansing product isn’t doing all the work alone. Gentle cleansing products will suffice and reduce any unnecessary stripping of your skin. Here are our recommendations:Dry skin:If you have dry and sensitive skin, go for our Replenishing Cleansing Lotion. It calms and conditions the skin. Featuring Marshmallow Root and Calendula Extracts, your skin will be clean and soothed.Mature skin:Go for an anti-ageing cleanser like our Nutri-Define Supreme Cleansing Foam for mature skin. With its rich and luxurious texture, it’ll be a treat for your skin after your oil cleanser step as jojoba beads gently exfoliate to reveal a youthfully luminous complexion.Blemish prone skin:Blemish prone skin is also usually associated with oily skin. So, you want something that balances the skin. Our Revitalising Cleansing Gel is perfect as its key ingredients of Peppermint Leaf Extract and Rosemary Leaf Extract soothe the skin while rebalancing oiliness.Combination skin:Combination skin needs to be simultaneously hydrated and balanced. Our Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser is perfect for all skin types and is the go-to for combination skin. A powerful blend of antioxidant-rich botanicals leaves skin thoroughly cleansed and protected, but not dry or tight.Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I need to double cleanse in the morning?Yes! You might think your skin is clean enough from the night before, but your skin still produces grime and sweat while you sleep. By double cleansing, you’re creating a clean slate for your morning skin care and/or makeup routine.Will double cleansing make my skin oiler?No. While oil cleansers are made from oils, they don’t necessarily add more oil to your face. The purpose of oil cleanser is to lift away skin surface debris – this includes excess oil. This means your skin balances out and the production of oil and on your skin rebalances itself. Also, if you follow up with your regular cleanser, the oil cleaner washes away and doesn’t remain on your skin.Can I use coconut oil or olive as an oil cleanser?It would be great to cost-wise. However, coconut oil and olive oil are comedogenic. Meaning they clog your pores instead of cleaning them. Unlike our Nourishing Cleansing Oil which emulsifies, other oils don’t combine with water so they end up sitting on top of your skin. Cleansing oils are specifically designed to cleanse your skin, so it’s safer to steer clear of coconut and olive oil to cleanse.Double cleansing is a relatively straight forward skin care technique that really gives you noticeable results and improves the effectiveness of the products in your skin care ritual. Shop our botanical enriched, natural cleansers online now to try this technique for yourself. Image credit: @the.life.of.laura
