Debunking 7 Face Oil Myths
Explore our Expertly Crafted Face Oils Face oils have been misunderstood for years. For some, the idea of applying oil directly to their skin seems counterintuitive. But here's the truth—oils are the building blocks of beauty and have been used for centuries to nourish and defend the skin. Today, they're making a well-deserved comeback, thanks to their benefits and proven results. Let's debunk some of the most common myths about face oils so you can embrace this transformative skincare step with confidence. Myth #1: Face Oils Can Cause Breakouts It's a common belief that applying oil to your face will clog pores and cause breakouts. The reality? It all comes down to the type of oil you use. While some oils can cause congestion just like any other formulas, non-comodogenic oils won’t clog or block pores. It’s important for those with oily skin or prone to congestion to look for the term “non-comodogenic” when searching for a face oil. Myth #2: Face Oils Are Not Suitable for Oily Skin Contrary to popular belief, face oils can actually benefit oily skin types. When the skin is stripped of its natural oils, it often goes into overdrive, producing even more oil. Using a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil can help regulate oil production and restore balance. By providing the moisture your skin craves, the right face oil can keep excess shine at bay and leave your skin feeling calm and nourished. Myth #3: Face Oils Are Only Suitable for Very Dehydrated Skin Face oils aren't just for dry or dehydrated skin. There's a face oil for every need and skin type. From soothing sensitive skin with Calendula Face Oil to targeting the signs of ageing with Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil, each blend offers unique benefits tailored to specific concerns. Finding the right oil for your skin can make all the difference—explore our range or take our quiz to find the perfect match. Myth #4: Face Oils Are Heavy and Greasy While some oils can feel heavy, not all oils are created equal. Dry finish oils, like our Rare Rose Face Oil, offer hydration without leaving a greasy residue, absorbing quickly into the skin. Still a little hesitant? Slowly introduce face oils to your daily ritual with our 8+2 Mix & Glow technique. Simply blend 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of your chosen face oil to amplify benefits and enhance your ritual. Myth #5: Face Oils Are Just a Fad Far from being a passing trend, face oils have been cherished across cultures for centuries. From ancient Egyptian beauty rituals to traditional Ayurvedic practices, oils have been used to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin. At Jurlique, we honour this timeless tradition by creating face oils infused with farm-grown actives that provide proven results. Myth #6: Face Oils Can Only Be Used in Winter Months Some people believe that face oils are only beneficial during colder months when the skin tends to be drier. In reality, face oils are effective year-round. During summer, lightweight and fast-absorbing oils can help regulate excess oil production, while in winter, more nourishing oils can provide an added layer of protection against harsh weather. Myth #7: All Face Oils Are the Same Face oils vary greatly in terms of formulation and benefits, and just like moisturisers and serums, it’s important to find a face oil tailored to suit your unique skin needs. Some are designed to hydrate, while others target specific skin concerns such as ageing, redness, or dullness. For example, our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil focuses on firming and smoothing, while our Calendula Face Oil is ideal for calming sensitive skin. Selecting the right oil tailored to your skin's needs is key. Embrace the Power of Face Oils Face oils are so much more than their myths. With the right formulation, they can transform your skin and elevate your entire skincare ritual. Ready to find your perfect match? Explore our range of face oils, mindfully crafted to meet every skin need.

4 Face Oil Rituals to Find Your Zen
Take self-care to another level at Nature’s Spa Our face oils are close to our heart because they embody what we stand for in the world of beauty—a commitment not only to the products we craft but the lifestyle and sense of well-being they inspire. Rich, silky textures and natural aromas create a sensorial journey that transforms daily skincare into moments of mindful connection, with each drop inviting you to slow down and breathe deeply. While all of our products are designed with well-being in mind, our face oils provide the perfect medium to create your own self-care rituals at home. Here are some expert-approved tips on how to weave our face oils into your self-care journey with four transformative rituals. Relaxing Ritual with Rare Rose Face Oil Designed to calm the mind and nurture the skin, our Rare Rose Face Oil is your perfect partner to help unwind from a busy day. Start by warming 6 drops of oil in your palms. Take three deep breaths as you cup your hands over your face, letting the relaxing aroma of Jurlique Rose envelop you. Gently press the oil into your forehead, cheeks, and chin, smoothing outward. To enhance this ritual, use a Rose Quartz Gua Sha to glide over your skin in gentle, outward motions—encouraging microcirculation and a radiant glow. Finish with a few deep breaths, reconnecting with the subtle Rose scent and embracing a moment of calm. Energising Morning Ritual with Herbal Recovery Face Oil Reawaken your senses and revitalise your skin with our Herbal Recovery Face Oil. Begin with 6 drops of oil, warming it in your palms and taking a moment to inhale the uplifting scent of White Tea and Lime. Press the oil into your face, moving from the forehead down to the chin. For an energising touch, try acupressure—using your ring finger to press gently on key points: the third eye, forehead, temples, in front of the ears, above the top lip, below the bottom lip, and the centre of your chest. Take a deep inhale and exhale as you slowly move through each point. Complete the ritual with a few mindful breaths, leaving you refreshed and ready to seize the day. Relaxing Evening Ritual with Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil Smooth, firm, and relax with our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil. Begin with the 8+2 Mix & Glow ritual—blending 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of this luxurious treatment oil. Massage gently into the face, neck and décolletage. To enhance the experience, create a restful bedtime ritual—add a few drops of Lavender Pure Essential Oil to a diffuser, dim the lights, disconnect from screens, and invite deep, restorative sleep. This ritual nourishes both your skin and your spirit, promoting a more youthful complexion and a moment of restful relaxation. Calming Comfort Ritual with Calendula Face Oil Soothe sensitive skin and find comfort with our Calendula Face Oil. Begin by warming the oil in your palms and pressing it gently into your face, neck and décolletage, breathing deeply to connect with its natural aroma. Use upward, soothing strokes to nurture and calm your skin. For an added layer of relaxation, pair this ritual with our Relaxing Soaking Ritual, dispensing 8-10 drops into warm water to help ease your mind and body. Ready to Take Your Rituals Further? Take your ritual to another level with a luxurious experience at a Jurlique Spa. Experience deep hydration and relaxation with the Rare Rose Holistic Facial, featuring our Rare Rose Face Oil, or revitalise and brighten tired skin with the Herbal Recovery Revitalising Facial.

Face Oil vs Cream: What’s the Difference?
Find Your Perfect Skincare Pairing Face oils are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Once a niche category, oils are now a staple in many skincare rituals, celebrated for their natural potency and transformative results. At Jurlique, we have honed our face oil expertise through decades of botanical mastery and a commitment to creating powerful, nature-based formulations. As popularity grows, so does confusion around whether to choose a face oil or a cream—or if both are necessary. Join us as we clarify the differences and explore the unique benefits of each. The Difference Between Face Oils and Face Creams Face oils and moisturisers each serve unique yet complementary roles in a skincare ritual, offering distinct benefits tailored to your skin's needs. With a lightweight, silky texture, face oils absorb quickly into the skin. Rich with farm-grown actives, face oils deliver targeted benefits from elasticity and firmness to enhanced glow and brighter skin. A few drops pressed gently into the skin can deliver powerful results. Face creams, on the other hand, have a thicker, richer consistency and feature a combination of water, oils, and emulsifiers. They are formulated to penetrate the skin's outer layers, forming a protective layer that gradually absorbs and hydrates the skin's moisture barrier. When to Use Face Oils Each face oil is tailored to suit your unique skin needs and can fit seamlessly into your morning and evening skincare ritual. Apply a few drops of Rare Rose Face Oil to hydrate skin and restore your natural glow. Incorporate Herbal Recovery Face Oil into your daily ritual for firmer, brighter skin. Reduce visible signs of ageing with our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil, and soothe and reinforce sensitive skin with Calendula Face Oil. Face oils offer versatility and can be used at different points in your skincare ritual. After cleansing, try our 8+2 Mix & Glow ritual by blending 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of your chosen face oil to help maximise benefits. Alternatively, apply as the final step in your ritual, or mix a few drops into your moisturiser for an extra hydration boost. When to Use Face Creams Moisturisers are an essential part of maintaining healthy-looking skin and a well-hydrated skin moisture barrier. Since oils can penetrate moisturisers, start with your favourite Jurlique moisturiser before applying face oils, or mix a few drops of oil into your moisturiser for an extra boost. This will help hydrate and lock in moisture. Our Rare Rose Cream slowly releases moisture over 24 hours, while our Herbal Recovery Cream instantly hydrates and restores vitality. Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream targets advanced signs of ageing, and our Calendula Cream offers comforting care for sensitive skin. Can I Use Both? Absolutely! For many, the best results come from using both face oils and creams together. This combination offers a holistic approach to skincare, ensuring your skin is nourished and radiant. Embrace the power of both, and let your skin's unique needs guide your choices.

7 Reasons Your Skin Is Dull and How to Brighten It
7 Reasons Your Skin Is Dull and How to Brighten It Does your complexion look a bit lacklustre, or do you feel like it’s missing a certain radiance? Don’t worry — occasional bouts of dull skin can happen to anyone at some point. The good news is that there are many ways to revitalise your complexion and achieve a healthy, vibrant glow. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the possible causes of dull skin and, most importantly, how to fix dull skin for a radiant, healthy-looking appearance. What Is Dull Skin? Dull skin refers to a complexion that lacks radiance and does not reflect light evenly. The skin may appear dry, patchy, or tired and can be accompanied by an uneven tone, rough texture, or visible pores. What Causes Dull Skin? Lots of things can cause dull skin, such as cutting corners with your face skincare routine (or lack thereof), dehydration, dead skin buildup, environmental damage and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Let’s look at some of the common causes of a dull-looking complexion. Dryness and Dehydration If you aren’t drinking enough water or not moisturising regularly, especially during dry weather (say, winter months or hot summers), your skin will likely show it. Dead Skin Cell Buildup Your skin naturally sheds millions of dead cells each day to make way for new ones. Sometimes, these cells stubbornly cling to the surface, which can give your face a dull, ashy and patchy look. Ageing As we age, our skin may appear drier, thinner and less elastic due to a decline in collagen and elastin production. While we can’t stop the ageing process, we can adopt a skincare routine that nourishes and hydrates our skin, helping it maintain a healthy, vibrant glow. Pollution and Sun Exposure Prolonged exposure to UV radiation and environmental toxins can generate free radicals — unstable molecules that damage DNA and collagen — and trigger excessive pigment production, resulting in dull, tired-looking skin. Poor Sleep Our bodies rely on a good night’s sleep for rest and recovery, and this process is perhaps more evident in the skin. Just a few nights of poor sleep can leave your skin looking pale and blotchy, along with dark circles and eye bags. Leaving Makeup or SPF Overnight Unwashed sunscreen or makeup can clog pores and disrupt your skin’s repair process. This can lead to irritation and dullness and may even accelerate signs of ageing — all the more reason you shouldn’t skip a nightly cleanse. Unhealthy Lifestyle If you constantly ask yourself, “Why does my skin look dull?” the answer might lie in your daily habits. Smoking, high stress levels, lack of exercise and a diet high in processed foods are all culprits that can wreak serious havoc on your skin’s radiance. How to Rejuvenate Dull Skin Now that you’re familiar with some of the factors that might contribute to dry, dull skin, you may be wondering what you can do to reclaim your radiance and do away with skin dullness for good. The good news is that you have plenty of options. 1. Cleanse Every Day Start your skincare ritual by washing your face with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen and pore-clogging dirt. We recommend double cleansing in the evening. First, use a cleansing oil to melt away long-lasting makeup and sunscreen. Then, follow with a second cleanse using a replenishing gel, lotion or foam to remove impurities while keeping your complexion hydrated. 2. Exfoliate Your Skin Regular exfoliation can help slough off the dull layer of dead skin cells and reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion. You use physical scrubs or mild chemical exfoliators, such as AHAs or BHAs. Start by exfoliating once or twice per week, then increase frequency as tolerated by your skin. 3. Add a Serum or Treatment to Your Regimen Serums are the (not-so-secret) ultimate dull skin treatment. These nourishing formulas contain high concentrations of active ingredients that can help brighten, boost hydration and reduce signs of ageing. Look for products with vitamin C, vitamin B3 (niacinamide), hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides. 4. Moisturise and Protect Proper hydration is the key to combating dry, dull skin. After applying your serum, be sure to seal in all the goodness with a nourishing facial moisturiser or oil AM and PM. For lacklustre skin around the eye area, we recommend using a rich eye cream to hydrate and brighten. Don’t forget to protect your newly rejuvenated skin with SPF during the day. For an extra moisture boost, spritz a hydrating face mist whenever you need a quick pick-me-up throughout the day. 5. Pamper Yourself with a Face Mask A weekly face mask can be the cherry on top of your glowy routine. Look for masks that contain antioxidants, hydrating humectants and soothing ingredients. 6. Change Lifestyle Habits Even with a solid skincare routine, your lifestyle still plays a role in your skin’s appearance. Stay hydrated, aim for 7-8 hours of quality shuteye each night, throw in a couple of workouts, find ways to manage stress and nourish your body with a balanced diet. You’ve got this! For an all-over glow, browse our range of skincare essentials — from brightening dull skincare products to nourishing lip, hand and body care. FAQs Why is my skin so dull? Our skin can appear dull for several reasons, such as dehydration, a lack of moisturiser, buildup of dead skin cells, ageing, pollution or sun damage. Lifestyle habits like lack of sleep, poor diet, stress and smoking can also contribute to skin dullness. How to get rid of dull skin naturally? To brighten dull skin naturally, regularly exfoliate, drink plenty of water and use a good moisturiser in the morning and evening. A healthy lifestyle can also make a difference. Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, get restful sleep, exercise regularly, manage stress and quit smoking, if possible. What is the best skincare routine for dull skin? Start your dull skincare routine with a mild cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin. Next, gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion. If you have a few extra minutes, apply a face mask with skin-glow-enhancing ingredients to rejuvenate and plump up your skin. For a quick brightening boost, introduce a vitamin C serum — one of the best serums for dull skin. Seal in hydration with a moisturiser and finish with SPF for sun protection during the day.

How to Naturally Lift and Tighten Face & Neck Skin
As we age, our bodies and faces naturally begin to change. You may notice that the once-tight skin around your eyes, mouth, jawline and neck has begun to lose its youthful firmness — that’s perfectly normal. The good news is that there are steps you can take to age gracefully and maintain firmer skin as you do. In this guide, we take a look at what causes saggy skin, how you can prevent it and face and skin tightening treatments that can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance. What Causes Sagging Skin? Loose or sagging skin occurs when skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to a drooping or wrinkled appearance. Several factors can cause saggy skin, including: Ageing As skin ages, it naturally produces less collagen and elastin, two important proteins responsible for structural support and elasticity. Research shows that after age 20, the dermis produces about 1% less collagen each year. Over time, this loss adds up, and your skin loses its structural integrity, leaving you with a sagging face. Years of Sun Exposure Years of sun exposure can take a toll on your skin, especially if you skimp on sunscreen. Prolonged sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin fibres, which can exacerbate sagging and cause wrinkles to appear earlier than anticipated. Weight Loss Losing weight can be a bittersweet win for your skin. If you drop a significant amount, like 45 kg or more, you might find it tough for your skin to bounce back. As we get older, our skin naturally loses some of its elasticity, which definitely doesn’t make things easier after a major weight loss. Illness and Medical Conditions Some medical conditions can make the skin saggy. One such condition is granulomatous slack skin, a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. How to Tighten Skin Naturally If you’ve noticed a bit of sagging around your face and neck, there are things you can do to help firm it up. Firming Skincare Products A daily skincare routine with creams and serums specifically targeting a loss of volume can help tighten skin on face. Look for products containing peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoids, niacinamide and vitamin C to help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Our Age-Defying Skincare Range is packed with youth-restoring botanicals like spilanthes flower, horseradish root, rock samphire, tara fruit, red algae extracts and naturally derived forms of hyaluronic acid, which help to smooth, firm and restore skin naturally. Exercise Building muscle helps strengthen your ‘frame,’ which can provide better support for your skin and help reduce sagging. Strength training stimulates muscle fibre growth and increases density, creating a firmer, more defined structure beneath the skin. Although scientific evidence is limited, many beauty experts swear by face exercises, or ‘face yoga.’ Like any kind of workout for your body, face yoga can help tone your face and strengthen your facial muscles. Techniques like the ‘cheek puff,’ ‘forehead push’ and ‘neck tilts’ can subtly lift the jawline and neck. Skin Massage Treating your face and neck to a gentle massage, especially when paired with tools like a jade roller or gua sha, can help reduce that pesky puffiness, improve blood circulation, helping to leave you with a firmer, lifted look. We recommend applying a facial oil like our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil beforehand, just to minimise any skin stretching. Lifestyle Changes Skin laxity is inevitable as we age. But what if we told you that there are lifestyle changes that could help roll back the clock on skin ageing? That’s right. Simple daily habits, like moisturising and wearing sunscreen, can visibly improve your skin’s health and appearance. Discover our complete range of face skincare, including moisturisers, sunscreen, cleansers, essences, serums, face oils, masks, eye care, lip care, hand care, and body care. And it’s not just about what you put on your skin either. Eating healthy, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and keeping stress levels down can lead to fresher, younger-looking skin. Making good choices like drinking in moderation or quitting smoking can also make a big difference over time. What Is the Best Skin Tightening Treatment? If you’re wondering how to tighten face skin instantly, cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments and ultrasound therapy may deliver quicker results. For advanced sagging, you could consider minimally invasive treatments like fillers, micro-needling with radiofrequency or PRP. Just a heads-up, though — these might involve needles, some downtime and may be pricier than at-home treatments. Consult a board-certified dermatologist to help determine the best skin tightening treatment plan for your skin type and health. FAQs What causes sagging skin on the face and neck? One of the most common causes of loose skin is the loss of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we naturally lose these proteins, and of course, things like sun damage and unhealthy lifestyle accelerate that. Less collagen and elastin means the skin is less able to snap back into place after being stretched, which leads to sagging and loose skin. How to tighten skin on face and neck? If you’ve noticed that your skin isn’t quite as firm as it used to be, there are steps you could take to help improve firmness and plump your skin. At home, you can start with firming skincare products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients such as peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C. Facial massage with your hands or tools like gua sha or jade rollers can get the blood flowing and throwing in some facial exercises, or ‘face yoga,’ can also strengthen and tone the muscles underneath. A healthy lifestyle plays a big role too. Eat collagen-rich foods like berries and leafy greens, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and wear SPF daily to protect against sun damage. What is the best ingredient for facial skin tightening? Sure, there’s no magic elixir for youthful skin, but some ingredients may help tighten skin over time. Retinol and peptides are your go-tos for long-term face tightening, while hyaluronic acid gives you that instant plumping effect. Vitamin C is another hero ingredient, protecting against sun damage and boosting collagen production.

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE: 40 YEARS OF FARM-GROWN SKINNOVATION
A HISTORY OF INNOVATION AND MILESTONES 1985-1990 | THE BEGGINING OF A DREAM Jurlique was born in 1985 when Dr Jurgen and Ulrike Klein set out to create pure, natural skincare inspired by the healing power of nature. They found the perfect home for their vision in the unspoiled Adelaide Hills, where they established their first biodynamic* herb farm. Their philosophy, built on three core principles—purity, integrity, and care—has shaped the brand we know today. By 1987, Jurlique’s dedication to farm-grown botanicals led to the opening of a purpose-built facility in Mount Barker, producing herbal skincare and therapeutic oils. It was the beginning of a skincare revolution powered by nature. 1991-2000 | ICONIC PRODUCTS, GLOBAL GROWTH & OLYMPIC PARTNERSHIPS The 1990s saw Jurlique take bold steps forward. We opened our first concept stores in Adelaide and Melbourne in 1991. And just two years later, we launched our now iconic Rosewater Balancing Mist and Herbal Recovery Serum, loved by skincare enthusiasts around the world. Our global reach expanded with flagship stores in Singapore and Japan, while wellness spas and treatments became central to our identity. In 1995, Jurlique was commissioned to create the Blue Cypress Oil for the Olympics. We were also named the official wellness partner for the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and the Sydney Olympics in 2000, providing over 2,500 rejuvenating treatments to over 10000 athletes from 199 nations—a milestone that solidified our international presence. 2001-2010 | SUSTAINABILITY & PRODUCT INNOVATION To support growing global demand, in 2005, we relocated to a 105-acre farm in Mylor, reaffirming our commitment to biodynamic* farming. Our efforts earned NASAA organic certification in 2006, highlighting our dedication to sustainable and chemical-free farming practices. By 2010, we celebrated our 25th anniversary with limited-edition rose products, paying homage to the botanical heritage that shaped our brand. 2011-2020 | GIVING BACK TO THE LAND & COMMUNITY In 2012, we launched our Tree Planting Day, planting over 15,000 native trees to improve local ecosystems and provide natural protection for our farm. This initiative reinforced our mission to give back to the land more than we take from it. In 2015, we released the Precious Rose Hand Cream, featuring Rosa gallica extract, to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Innovation continued with the launch of Activating Water Essence+ and Rare Rose Face Oil, expanding our portfolio of botanical-rich hydration products. In 2020, we contributed to South Australia’s bushfire recovery, donating 3,000 tree seedlings to restore affected areas. And, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jurlique supported frontline workers by donating over 43,000 products worldwide—an expression of our care and gratitude. 2021-PRESENT | MILESTONES & CELEBRATIONS In 2023, we relaunched our Aromatherapy range, pairing sustainable packaging with botanical-rich formulations. A year later, we revitalised the Herbal Recovery range and introduced Calendula Face Oil, continuing our journey of innovation in natural-based skincare. In 2024, we reached one of our proudest milestones by becoming B Corp certified, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. This year, we marked our anniversary with the introduction of the Intense Rose—a stunning new bloom cultivated on our biodynamic farm*. Featured in our limited edition Intense Rose Hand Cream and Mist, it symbolises our evolution and commitment to crafting skincare that nurtures both the skin and soul.
