Morning cleanse vs night cleanse
A holistic beauty ritual is an immersive experience that addresses our skin’s unique needs. Our daily routine and lifestyle can impact our skin, meaning it’s important to cleanse accordingly for balanced, healthy-looking skin that looks its best. Why your morning skin ritual should differ from your night skin ritual Morning routines wash away debris and sweat from the night before and provide a smooth base for makeup, whereas evenings are more restorative, aiming to replenish and prepare for a good night’s rest. These differences between our morning and evening routines requires different cleansing rituals to best care for your skin. Your morning cleanse Revitalize and awaken skin as you remove any impurities. Thoroughly cleansed skin can help skincare apply more smoothly and evenly, while ensuring beautiful makeup results. Our best-selling Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser features a blend of Coconut-derived cleansing agents in combination with Soapberry extract to cleanse the skin and remove impurities. The rich texture protects while eight handpicked botanicals, including farm-grown Rosa gallica Hybrid rebalance the senses. For those who have normal or combination skin, reach for our Revitalizing Cleansing Gel enriched with Peppermint to rebalance and revitalize. The gel transforms into a rich lather and removes excess oil to leave the skin feeling clean and comfortable. Follow your cleanse with your chosen serum, moisturizer, sunscreen and make-up. Your evening cleanse An ideal evening cleanse focuses on two distinct actions: removing impurities, make-up, sweat, and pollution from the skin, then rebalancing and restoring ahead of your nightly skincare. This can be best achieved with a double cleanse, a beauty ritual which involves the use of two cleansing products. A double cleanse is suitable for all skin types and is gentle enough that it can be performed nightly. Who should double cleanse Double cleansing is suitable for all skin types, however, certain skin types, such as those with oily skin, may find double cleansing more beneficial than others. Likewise, you may find double cleansing more worthwhile after a day of wearing long-lasting or waterproof makeup, sunscreen or after completing exercise. How to double cleanse For the first cleanse, massage 2-3 pumps of Nourishing Cleansing Oil onto dry skin to melt away surface impurities, long-lasting makeup and sunscreen. Add warm water to emulsify, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a face cloth. For dry and sensitive skin, reach for our Replenishing Cleansing Lotion for your second cleanse. Massage over the face and neck with your fingertips or a recyclable cotton pad to gently melt away any leftover debris as you calm, soothe and protect skin from moisture loss. For oily and combination skin types, a second cleanse with our Revitalizing Cleansing Gel helps to rebalance and address excess oil and pollution. With a touch of water, the lightweight gel transforms into a rich foaming lather that harnesses micellar technology to reawaken and refresh skin. A sustainable cleansing ritual At Jurlique, our recyclable packaging has been designed with the planet in mind to ensures our skincare is kind on skin and the environment. For a complete eco-friendly cleansing ritual, swap single-use cleansing tools for reusable cotton wipes and a face cloth. These options evenly apply our effective formulas while helping to lift impurities from the skin’s surface. Beautiful skin starts with cleansing

Celebrating your natural beauty
Why skin is an expression of your life journey Expression lines at corners of our eyes recount the laughs and smiles spent with loved ones. The freckles on our nose are a mark of everlasting summers spent under the sun. A furrowed brow is a reminder of strength and determination to achieve hard-won successes. Our skin, the largest organ of our body, is often considered a canvas that reflects our inner health and external experiences. From the glow of youth to the lines etched by time, our skin captures the moments, emotions, and choices that shape us. It is more important than ever for us to embrace holistic wellness, embrace our skin journey and discover the best ways to enhance who we are already. A change in mindset Understanding that our skin reflects our life journey allows us to embrace our imperfections and practice self-acceptance. It reminds us that true beauty is not solely defined by societal standards, but rather by the stories we carry within us. Embracing our skin's unique characteristics and prioritizing self-care rituals fosters a sense of authenticity and self-love. Rather than viewing these signs of ageing as flaws to be erased, we can embrace them as badges of honor, celebrating the beauty that comes with age and experience. The role of skincare in holistic wellness Skincare is a fundamental aspect of holistic wellness, extending beyond aesthetic beauty, serving as a form of self-care and self-love. By focusing on our skin's health and engaging in mindful skincare rituals, we create moments of mindfulness, tranquility and foster inner peace. By prioritizing holistic skincare, we not only enhance our physical appearance, but also recognize that nurturing ourselves leads to a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit.

Finding Balance with Caroline Groth
Self-care has many benefits, from lowering stress to improving overall health and happiness. It allows us time to prioritize ourselves and create rituals, habits and behaviors that support our minds and bodies. Ultimately, a little self-care can go a long way to help restore balance in our busy lives. In celebration of International Self-Care Day, we caught up with digital creator Caroline Groth, known for her inspiring health and wellness content. With her expertise, she curates engaging and informative content that empowers individuals to prioritize their wellbeing and achieve a harmonious lifestyle. Discover more about Caroline’s self-care journey and her top self-care tips to help restore balance in your life. Why is self-care important to you? “For me, my daily self-care ritual is non-negotiable. I need to have all these routines that I've set in place and all of these self-care rituals in order for me to be my best self. I do not feel like I'm functioning at my highest, most authentic self if I don't incorporate these daily practices. I also live with three autoimmune diseases, so I need to look after myself and take care of myself every single day.” What were some of the biggest challenges you faced? “Some of the biggest challenges I faced starting my self-care journey were rewiring my entire brain, prioritising myself and how I felt showing up in this world on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. For me, that meant cutting some people out of my life who weren't supportive of the journey or the changes I made. It was also about learning to carve out time and make myself a priority, which I had never done in my entire life. So that was a huge step for me.” How has the relationship with yourself and with those around you changed? “My relationship with myself has improved so much. I have always struggled with loving myself for who I am and how I show up in the world. Incorporating daily and weekly rituals into my life has helped increase the love I have for myself and also the love I have for other people. This means that I can be so much more genuine. I now have a full cup when I show up for other people, and I feel like I have so much more love to give..” What is your top self-care tip? If there's one tip I can give you to bring more self-care into your world, and the one thing I absolutely cannot live without that's changed my world is meditation. Don't make it complicated. You can make it very simple. You can sit in silence and just listen to your breathing for a few minutes a day and build it up so you can sit longer and longer. But it does bring a level of presence into your world, both presence in the outside world, but also presence in your inside world. What does finding balance mean to you? In the past, I used to be very rigid about my health. I'm someone who lives an extremely healthy life. I cook for myself every single day. I take my supplements; I do my movement; I do my daily practices; I do my meditations. But once upon a time, I was way too strict about it. Now I've created a life for myself which is a lot more balanced, where I can still go out and have a wine and a meal out and spend time with my friends, but it doesn't take away from who I am as my foundational self. I can come home, be silent with myself, enjoy my presence, and find peace within all of that. Finding balance for me in this world means looking after myself every single day by incorporating self-care practices. It means showing up for myself just as much as I show up for other people.

How indoor plants can help you destress with Jan Gettmann
Self-care is often associated with practices like meditation, journaling, skincare rituals and bubble baths. But our personal environment can also play a major part in enhancing our mental and physical wellbeing. Environmental self-care isn’t just about heading into the great outdoors and connecting with the elements to unwind; it is about enhancing our environments, whether at home or the office. And one of the best ways to create a relaxing space is by adding a little greenery. Someone who knows a thing or two about greenery is Sydney-based plant expert and verified green thumb, Jan Gettmann. In celebration of International Self-Care Day, we caught up with Jan to find out his self-care routine and how plants impact his sense of wellbeing. CONNECTING WITH NATURE “Self-care is finding something I'm passionate about, and for me, that's plants. I have a very busy corporate day job. I spend a lot of time in front of screens, so being able to sit down, switch off and be surrounded by all of these beautiful plants really helps me to calm down, feel connected to nature and relax.” STAYING GROUNDED Connecting with nature and incorporating it into my home really helps me feel grounded. It's really about the journey of growing them. It's nice to step back and look at the plants. They're really slow, they take their time. Growing plants has taught me patience and that it's okay to take things a little slower. BOOSTING MOTIVATION My favourite plant at the moment is my Philodendron Glorious. As part of my selfcare practice, I like to set goals. I like to get really small plants and grow them as large as possible in an indoor environment. When I first got this plant, it was so small, and after three years of continuous care, I've been rewarded with these really large leaves. Setting that goal, tracking the progress and achieving it is extremely rewarding. It keeps me motivated and is good for my wellbeing.
