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.

5 Holistic Wellness Tips for the Holiday Season
Maintaining holistic wellness practices over the festive period can often be a challenge. With so many social activities, getaways to plan, and Christmas shopping to do, it’s not surprising that healthy eating, self-care, and exercise fall by the wayside. To help keep your mind, body, and soul nourished over the holiday season, here are our top 5 tips. Keep Moving Our exercise plans tend to go out the window with the arrival of the festive season. Whether you are jetting off on holiday or have the whole family coming to stay, it is often difficult to fit in a much-needed workout. If you can't hit your favorite yoga class or a session at the gym, try and change it up with fun family and friends activities, whether bike-riding, beach volleyball, or a round of cricket in the garden. Elevate your Beauty Ritual The holidays can often wreak havoc on our skin with so many celebrations and indulgences. Consider your skincare goals for the season. Perhaps you want glowing party-ready skin or a nourishing treatment to hydrate thirsty skin? Updating your daily skincare ritual by adding an essence, serum, or treatment can give you the perfect boost to reach your holiday skin goals. Stay Hydrated With so much merry-making, mulled wine, festive cocktails, and glasses of celebratory bubbles, it is easy to become dehydrated. To help, start the morning with a glass of cold water with lemon and ensure you drink at least 8 ounces of water per day. Remember that dehydration can also take its toll on the skin, so this is the time to up the ante on your hydrating skincare rituals. Think hydrating mists, serums, lotions, creams, and nourishing overnight masks and treatments. Book a Spa Day The festive season can often deplete our energy, leaving both mind and body exhausted. If this is the case, it's often best to leave it to the professionals. Book a Jurlique spa experience and indulge in a signature facial, nourishing body treatment or treatment package for head-to-toe relaxation and rejuvenation. Practice Mindfulness With body and skin sorted, it is time to focus on the mind. Stress is all too common over the holidays, so it's important to nurture your mind during this busy period. Schedule five minutes of meditation per day—turning off your phone, tuning out the world and allowing a moment of calm to set you up for the day ahead.

THE POWER OF PLANTS
Indoor plants have been used to decorate homes and heal people since 1,000 B.C. China. Their benefits have since been recognised by the science community, proving household plants as essential indoor companions in urban dwellings. We adorn our Jurlique offices with these all-natural air purifiers, for they improve the air quality while reducing the stress levels of those working amongst them. Read on for all of the reasons to bring more greenery into your home or workspace.They pay their wayIn 1989, NASA conducted a study looking at the benefits of houseplants, naming it the NASA Clean Air Study. It found that having one plant per nine square metres of your home or office will remove toxic airborne agents, such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene. Garden Mums, Spider Plants and Dracaena are the top performing pollutant removers. Plants such as orchids, succulents, snake plants and bromeliads also absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen all through the night (unlike most other varieties that only do this during the day time), making them the perfect bedroom companions.They are visually beautifulPlants are an easy way to enhance your loungeroom or workspace. By adorning your windowsills with succulents, draping macramé hangers from curtain rails or bringing a big and bold potted fiddle leaf fig, you’ll make a huge difference to the look and feel of your space. Get your hands dirty by simply taking a cutting from a friend’s plant and propagating your own from scratch; you’ll feel a true sense of achievement as it flourishes.They reduce stressThe art of shinrin yoku, or forest therapy, was first invented in Japan and is predicated on the idea of visiting or looking at nature as a means to calm, rejuvenate and restore the mind. Studies have found that plants bestow positive changes in the brain’s electrical activity, relieving muscle tension and calming heart activity. Bring a piece of the forest into your living room with your very own bonsai tree.They bring the outdoors, inAs more people move to be closer to big cities, they inevitably have less exposure to Nature, which means they come into contact with a less diverse microbiota. This refers to the community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live in your gut and on your skin, and which is essential to fighting off disease. Keeping a herb garden will encourage you to have direct contact with plant life, while also offering a constant supply of fresh basil, thyme and mint.Jurlique’s Tree Planting Day At Jurlique we love our plants indoors and out. Every year since 2012, Jurlique staff have been planting native trees at our farm in South Australia. The trees improve our carbon footprint, enhance the area’s biodiversity, and offer protection for our organically grown botanicals. Learn more here.

WHY AIR QUALITY MATTERS IN YOUR SKIN CARE
The ability to scientifically measure and study the impact of pollution might be relatively new, but we’ve always had a belief that air quality is one of the crucial factors in producing pure, effective skin care. It’s one of the reasons our founders moved across the globe to settle in the rolling Adelaide Hills of South Australia.How pollution affects skin (and skin care)For many decades, there was one clear environmental culprit capable of wreaking havoc on our complexions; this was, of course, the sun’s UV rays. More recently, another offender has come along: the air itself. Unlike the sun, however, air pollution gives no early warning signs.Separate studies have found that air pollution can have a significant impact on the skin, leading to the premature appearance of visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and pigmentation.But there’s another side to this story that’s far less known: what’s the impact of air pollution on the botanical ingredients grown specifically for skin care?The quality of air that surrounds plants plays a huge role in determining just how robust and healthy those plants may be. According to a report by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), air pollution can cause damage to soil quality, which “in turn, penetrates into the plant structure and impairs its ability to develop”. As a result, botanicals may turn yellow, develop spots or die completely.The purity of South AustraliaAdelaide, as one of Australia’s smaller cities, has benefited from relatively low levels of pollution – seven times lower than that in Shanghai, and more than one-third of the levels in Seoul, according to data compiled by the World Health Organization.For this reason, we made South Australia our home base. In this unspoiled environment, which our founders refer to as “the purest place on Earth”, we grow all our botanical ingredients, including hydrating Rose, which goes on to become our antioxidant-rich Rosewater Balancing Mist. Thanks to the clean-air conditions in which the Rose is grown, the resulting mist restores your skin and instils an unmistakable glow.Our home is a particular point of pride for Jurlique, for the growing conditions found here are what enable us to grow botanicals far more powerful than any other. What is pure and grown in Nature can only deliver radiant, glowing skin. It’s as simple as that.
