THE FUTURE OF NATURAL-BASED SKIN CARE
In 2020, we celebrate 35 years of Jurlique; 35 years of using powerful botanicals, sustainable farming methods and exclusive extraction methods to create our unique natural-based skin care.The Jurlique JourneyThe year: 1985The dream: to find an unpolluted environment to grow Nature’s herbs and flowers and use them to create the purest skin care possible.The place: South Australia’s Adelaide Hills, chosen by our founders Jurgen and Ulrike Klein as the purest place on earth – still home to the Jurlique Farm and Natural Beauty Plant, where our products are made, to this day."We chose the Adelaide Hills because it had the perfect climate and the land was unpolluted." Ulrike Klein, Jurlique Co-Founder.With Jurgen’s background as a scientist and naturopath, and Ulrike’s expertise as a botanist and horticulturalist, the couple combined their names and knowledge to create Jurlique. It was this, along with their personal philosophy – commitment, without compromise, to create natural products that enrich people’s lives – that paved the way for Jurlique.Some of our most powerful ingredients are grown on our farm in South Australia's Adelaide Hills. Our founders selected this region for its pure, unpolluted air and nutrient-rich soil, which we continue to nurture and respect. For 35 years, we've grown botanicals here using biodynamic* farming methods that care for our farm as an integrated, living organism.

HOW TO INSTANTLY SOOTHE SENSITIVE SKIN
When your favourite skin care brand release a new skin care product or range, are you Type A and purchase the product right away and slather it all over? Or are you Type B and hesitant to purchase because it might exacerbate a skin concern you’ve worked hard to get under control? If you’re Type B, you most likely have sensitive skin. Whether you’re dealing with redness, irritation, or uneven skin tone, ongoing skin sensitivity can be challenging to deal with.At Jurlique, we believe in not only treating the symptoms of sensitivity, but also addressing the underlying causes and solving them through a combination of natural ingredients and a consistent skin care ritual. Read on for our top 3 tips for caring for sensitive skin and recommended skin care products for sensitive skin.1. Choose the right ingredientsNo matter what skin type you have, it’s a good idea to avoid synthetic chemical ingredients in your everyday skin care ritual. However, it’s especially important to have natural-based skin care for sensitive skin, as it may react poorly to many synthetic ingredients.Instead, opt for naturally derived ingredients that nourish and calm your skin, rather than aggravating it further. Ingredients to gravitate toward include:Calendula Flower Extract, has pronounced soothing properties and has been used to rebalance sensitivity on the skin and throughout the body.Chamomile Flower Extract, which carries calming and hydrating benefits. A great natural ingredient for both dry and combination sensitive skin types.Echinacea Extract is an astringent herb that offers soothing properties and can help balance the skinJurlique Rose extract, which can only be exclusively found in some Jurlique products, is scientifically proven to enhance the skin’s barrier function and help it retain essential moisture.You can find all of these ingredients in our Calendula Redness Rescue and Moisture Plus Rare Rose.2. Be gentle with you skinLet every action you make upon your skin be gentle and soft. While choosing the right products plays a part in managing sensitive skin, your skin care application techniques are equally important.Avoid any actions that tug your skin as this can make irritation worse. Here’s what that looks like in practice:If you wear makeup, instead of removing it with a makeup wipe, use a cleansing oil in gentle circular motion. When you follow up with a gentle cleanser, use those same delicate motions.During your moisturiser, serum or face oil step – pat and press the product in instead of rubbing.When you have sensitive skin, physical exfoliation can be intimidating, and you’d be right to proceed with caution. A lot of physical exfoliators are abrasive and can do more harm than good. Look for something non-abrasive like our Daily Exfoliating Cream – you apply it to your skin in a press-release motion (so no rough rubbing) and it gently lifts and removes dead skin and impurities.3. Keep it coolFor soothing sensitive skin, consider keeping your skincare products in the fridge until it’s time to apply them.Apart from the instant refreshing hit, there’s anecdotal evidence that the cooler temperature causes blood vessels to contract, immediately reducing the appearance of redness.Skin sensitivity is a challenge, but with the right skin care products and techniques, it can be managed. To soothe and protect your skin, shop our Calendula Redness Rescue range online now.Need more guidance? We’ve got quite the selection!

HOW TO GET ‘GLASS SKIN’ IN JUST 5 STEPS
HOW TO GET ‘GLASS SKIN' IN JUST 5 STEPS Yes, you read it correctly. Just 5 steps! If you’re a skin care aficionado, you most definitely have heard of “glass skin” by now and know that it involves a longer routine than five steps. Read on to discover how to get glass skin naturally. What is glass skin? Before we get started, let’s get into what glass skin is. The term originated – like many other beauty trends – in the Korean beauty (K-Beauty) space and describes skin that is luminous, clear and unblemished. If you look at somebody with the glass skin look, their skin is even, smooth and free of any visible texture like pores, bumps or rough patches – hence the comparison to glass.Originally, glass skin is achieved through a multi-step K-beauty routine that can include up to 10 different products and steps. Understandably, this can be impractical for many women. Thankfully, you can achieve the same effect in less time and with half the amount of products.Our 5-step glass skincare ritual 1. Cleanse If you asked us which one of these steps is non-negotiable, it would be the cleanser step. Glass skin starts with a thorough, double cleanse every night. Start with a cleansing oil like our Nourishing Cleansing Oil and muslin cloth to remove any makeup, sunscreen and surface debris, then follow it up with a gentle cream, gel or foam cleanser. 2. Essence Is it really a K-Beauty skin trend if there isn’t any essence involved? A hydrating essence like our Activating Water Essence enhances your skin’s ability to retain moisture and helps it better absorb your other products. To apply, pour a couple of drops into your palms, place your hands together and gently twist to activate the essence. Gently pat lightly onto your skin until it completely absorbs. 3. Serum Once your essence has had some time to absorb and your skin is now fully prepped, it’s time to apply your serum. Serums typically are packed with a high concentration of active ingredients. Think of it as treatment for your skin depending on your concern – it’s where the magic happens. If ageing is your concern, try our Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum to help reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. Struggling with parched skin? Hydration is key for glass skin so we recommend our Moisture Plus Rare Rose Serum to deliver intense hydration and restore your skin’s natural glow. Finally, you can soothe any rough patches or redness with our Calendula Serum. 4. Oil Now that you have on all of your water-based hydrating products, you’re going to want to seal it all in with a facial oil. Sealing in moisture supports your skin’s protective barrier. Depending on your skin type, it’s best to consider which oil will work on your skin best. Drier skin types might need a more hydrating oil, while oiler skin types benefit from a balancing oil. A glass skin must have. 5. Moisturise The theme with glass skin is hydration and moisture. We have our essence, serum, oil all applied and now we’re kicking it up a notch with a moisturiser. As with all products, choose a moisturiser that works with your skin type and one that’s appropriate for the time of day – in practice, this usually means saving richer, heavier creams for overnight use and applying gels and lighter lotions during the day.While moisturiser is the final step, we think there’s no such thing as too much glow. So we recommend spritzing your skin with our favourite Rosewater Balancing Mist to support moisture balance and leave you with dewy, radiant and supple look to the skin. Bonus Tips or Glass Skin Apply firming eye cream. You won't get glass skin if you neglect eye care. Lightly dab an eye cream to help address dark circles, puffiness and dehydration. Never skip sunscreen (daytime only). Apply SPF daily to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent premature ageing and hyperpigmentation. We recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50, like our UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+. Use targeted face masks once a week. Perfect as part of a weekly self-care routine to pamper and replenish your skin. Embrace a healthy diet and lifestyle. Getting glass skin isn’t just about products; it's about taking care of yourself too! Drink lots of water, eat well, get enough sleep (8 hours), exercise regularly and manage stress. With consistent use of the right products, glass skin is well within your reach. Shop our natural-based face skin care, lip care, hand care and body care online now, or visit our blog for more skin care tips FAQs How do you get glass skin? The secret to that coveted dewy, glowing 'glass skin' is simple – drench your skin in moisture. Think hydrating moisturisers, serums, mists, essences, oils and face masks. Gentle cleansers, exfoliants and sunscreen are also glass skin must-haves. Skincare alone isn't enough. You'll also need to balance things with healthy lifestyle habits like getting enough sleep, plenty of water, exercise, and a balanced diet. Is glass skin realistic? Glass skin is one of the most realistic skincare trends since it's all about hydration. The key is to layer super-hydrating products so skin looks dewy and plump. But don’t expect your skin to transform overnight – keep it consistent, and you'll eventually get closer to glass-like skin. Can I achieve glass skin with sensitive skin? Yes, people with sensitive skin can achieve glass skin. Look for products for glass skin with gentle and calming ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile. If you're unsure, consult a dermatologist to find the best glass skin treatment for sensitive skin. How do you know you have glass skin? Glass skin is exactly what it sounds like – skin so even, smooth, and luminous that it looks reflective and translucent like glass. Genes play a role for sure, but anyone can get that 'glass skin' glow with the right combination of glass skin products. How to get glass skin in 7 days? Want to achieve your healthiest, dewy, luminous glow in a week? Follow a consistent glass skin routine: double cleanse, exfoliate, and apply a hydrating toner, serum, moisturiser and sunscreen. Don't forget to stay hydrated and fully rested.

IS YOUR CLEANSER CAUSING YOUR BREAKOUTS?
Have you been experiencing unexplained breakouts recently? It might be due to the stress of the pandemic, lockdown and maskne (yes, it’s a real thing), but it might be something as simple as the cleanser you’re using. In fact, a lot of people breakout after using a new cleanser, which seems like an oxymoron…aren’t they supposed to clean your skin? Well, yes, but if you’re not using one that’s well-suited to your skin type, cleansers can cause a skin pH imbalance which results in irritation and can cause sudden breakouts. The best way to avoid it is to choose the best cleanser for your skin type and skin concerns.How can cleanser cause breakouts?A cleanser that is too harsh for your skin type can cause breakouts by disrupting the skin’s natural protective moisture barrier and stripping away essential oils and moisture. This can leave skin feeling dry, tight and vulnerable to oil imbalances, which can lead to breakouts. Your skin’s protective moisture barrier also prevents bacterial growth that can cause blemishes, so if it’s disrupted, that bacteria can flourish. The wrong cleanser can also disrupt the naturally acidic pH of your skin, making it more vulnerable to infection and damage.What cleanser should I use?So, it’s important to choose the right cleanser for radiant, healthy-looking skin. Pick a cleanser that suits your skin type and concern to start your skin care ritual off right (we recommend you use our Nourishing Cleansing Oil first and do a double cleanse at night to get rid of dirt and impurities):For dry, dehydrated skin: Our Replenishing Cleansing Lotion uses Marshmallow Root extract, Calendula Flower extract, and Shea butter to gently and deeply cleanse dry and sensitive skin while restoring moisture and soothing irritation.For oily skin: Thanks to Rosemary Leaf and Spilanthes extracts, our Revitalising Cleansing Gel refreshes skin and controls excess oil production and shine.For mature skin: Fight fine lines and other signs of ageing with our Nutri-Define Supreme Cleansing Foam, which uses Jojoba beads, Spilanthes and Horseradish extracts, and our signature Biosome6 blend to gently whisk away dead skin and smooth wrinkles.For combination skin: Reveal fresh, glowing skin with our Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser, which harnesses the power of Calendula Flower, Willow Bark, and our exclusive Jurlique Rose extracts to remove impurities, unclog pores, and balance oil production.Choosing the right cleanser can protect your skin and ensure it stays radiant and blemish-free.

WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND WHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS?
Collagen is a word that’s often associated with the holy grail of youthful-looking skin. It can be found in powders, pills and liquid supplements, all with the promise of keeping your skin looking and feeling its best. We’ve all heard of it and no doubt dropped it into conversation…but what is it, what does collagen do and more importantly, do we actually need it? We break down everything you need to know about this beauty buzzword.What is collagen?Collagen is the most common protein that’s found in the body. The word comes from the Greek word kólla which means glue and that’s essentially what collagen is: the ‘glue’ that holds our bones, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments together. There are at least 28 different types of collagen found around the body.What are the benefits of collagen for skin?The type of collagen that helps us to look youthful is found in the middle layer of the skin. Together with elastin, it strengthens the skin and promotes elasticity, helping it look and feel plump, and prevent it from sagging. Collagen can also reduce dryness in the skin, helping it stay hydrated and give it that glow we all covet.At what age do we start losing collagen?As we reach the age of 20, our bodies start to produce less and less, and collagen is broken down faster than you can make it. In fact, by the time we’ve reached our 40s, we’ve lost approximately 30 per cent of our collagen supply, which is partly the reason we see lines and wrinkles in the skin. But aside from the natural degradation of collagen, there are certain lifestyle habits that can damage it and speed up the process of ageing, such as eating a lot of sugar and refined carbohydrates, too much exposure to the sun and its harmful UV rays, and smoking.How to increase collagenThe good news is that although our skin naturally loses collagen, there are ways we can help increase collagen production through eating nutrient-rich leafy greens and vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower that have high levels of Vitamin C and Sulphur – both of which are essential for collagen production. Skin care products designed to boost collagen help too: our Nutri-Define range contains farm-grown Spilanthes Flower and Horseradish Root extracts that naturally promote collagen production in the skin.Read our guide to increasing collagen naturally for more top tips and shop our full Nutri-Define range for collagen boosting skin care.

WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR WATER USAGE
Water, an essential to human life. We’ve been hydrating ourselves, cleansing our bodies, watering our plants with it since the beginning of time. Despite its seeming abundance, water supply isn’t an infinite resource. If not managed properly, water shortage is something that may become the norm.The immediate effect of reducing water usage is saving money on water and energy bills. But, when we conserve water, we’re not only reaping individual benefits, the Earth will thank us for it too. Water conservation helps prevent greenhouse gas emissions produced by energy used to clean and distribute water, decreases wastewater treatments at sewerage plants and helps to maintain our water supplies during drought seasons.Water helps keep our bodies healthy and clean, nourishes fruits and vegetables and protects our ecosystem and wildlife. As our global population grows and the Earth becomes drier and warmer, committing to saving water is vital. At Jurlique, in line with our commitment to sustainability, we've reduced our water usage by 25% since 2015 by using rain and recycled water. Conserving water is one part of staying true to our mission, and we encourage you to make it a priority too.Ways to reduce water usageShorter showersYou would be surprised how much water we use daily. A typical shower uses approximately 19 litres per minute! Cutting down your showers from 10 to 5 five minutes will save about 95 litres a day. It’s easy to drift off to la-la land in the shower, so an easy way to stick to a shorter shower is by using a timer, that way you’ll stay focused and be in and out of the shower quicker. The recommended shower time is four minutes or less, so try and aim for that to reduce water usage at home.Flush toilets lessDid you know that the average person flushes the toilet about five times day? One flush of water can use up to 12 litres of water. By using the half flush button when appropriate to do so you can save about 18 litres a day. All the incremental choices really add up! Another way to reduce your toilet flushes is to stop using it to dispose of tissues – throw them in the bin instead.Turn the tap off in the bathroomReduce your water footprint by not leaving the water running when you’re brushing your teeth or cleansing your skin. A simple way to reduce the time you spend cleansing is by using a cleansing oil. By using a cleansing oil, you’ll end up using less water because instead of having to rinse your face with running water, all you need to do is wet a face towel once, use the back of the towel when the front is dirty and then pop into your laundry basket. Our Nourishing Cleansing Oil not only nourishes and cleanses the skin but it’s free of any chemicals or parabens that’ll flow down the drain into our water ways and have a negative impact on the environment.Wash a full loadIt actually takes as much energy and water to wash a full load as it does a half load, especially if you’re not using an appropriate amount of water. So, it’s best to wait until your basket is full before washing your dirty laundry. Can’t wait that long? Then make sure you’re not using excess water to wash your clothes. If your washing machine comes with an energy saving setting, use that as well as using cold water to save more energy. Also, opt for biodegradable laundry detergents to reduce the harmful effect on our waterways.Avoid rinsing before using the dishwasherResist the urge to rinse your utensils before popping them into the dishwasher. Instead, scrape your food scraps as best as you can into the bin (a compost bin would be even better). Much like the washing machine, try and only turn the dishwasher on when you have a full load and use an energy saving setting.Consume local seasonal produceBy eating local seasonal fruits and veggies, you’ll indirectly be helping to conserve water. About five barrels of water is used to create one barrel of petrol. If we all make a commitment to eat locally then that’s less outbound miles on farm trucks coming in from different states. Another way to reduce water usage through food is by cutting down on red meat and eating less water-intensive foods like chicken, chickpeas and lentils.To find out more about the sustainable practices on our Jurlique Farm, read our Sustainability Report.

HOW TO GET SMOOTH BODY SKIN
We focus so much on our facial skin care rituals that we often forget to cater to our body skin too. Baby soft skin can be achievable at any age. You most likely have the foundational steps of body skin care, like showering and applying lotion, down pat but let’s take it from the top. Keep reading for our secrets to achieving smooth body skin.BEFORE THE SHOWERHealthy-looking, smooth body skin starts from the inside out. Do a skin check. If it’s looking dry, or even scaly then your skin barrier is probably not getting enough nutrients and moisture. Our skin’s barrier does a lot of protective work for us, so we need show it some love back.Stay hydrated: The human body is made up of about 60-70% of water, so drinking enough of it is essential to keep your body functioning at a better capacity both internally and externally. The same way you feel parched when you’re thirsty is the same way your skin does.Up your wholefood and superfood intake: We say that the best diet for good skin is made up of a rainbow of fruit, veggies and wholefoods. Superfoods contain omega-3 fatty acids and (great for the keeping the top layer of your skin hydrated) vitamins A, C, E, B and D (great not only for your skin, also hair and nails).Get your sleep in: You might be wondering what sleep has to do with body skin, but it’s actually vital in assisting the repairing process of your skin. While you’re sleeping, your body goes into recovery mode, healing all the daytime damage like UV exposure, and pollution.IN THE SHOWERTemperature: Once you get into the shower, resist the urge to have a water temperature ratio of 90% hot and 10% cold. Hot steamy showers feel amazing, but they’re not great for your skin – especially in the winter months. A higher temperature can strip moisture away from your skin’s natural barrier, leaving you with drier skin in the long run. The ideal temperature should be lukewarm, not too hot, not too cold. If you can’t give up a hot shower, try and minimise your time spent under the water and how many of them you have a week.Exfoliate: Exfoliation is a crucial step to getting smooth body skin. Exfoliation helps improve rough skin texture as it buffs away dead skin cells and build up. Even though our body skin is much more resilient compared to our facial skin, it’s still important to avoid using a harsh exfoliant or over-exfoliating. We recommend using our Smoothing Body Exfoliating Gel, and applying it in the shower before washing with shower gel. It contains a perfectly balanced blend of natural exfoliators such as Walnut Shell powder and cellulose beads to polish away dead surface skin cells, revealing radiant smoother looking skin.Sud up: Not all body washes are created equal. Some body washes are filled with nasties that strip your skin leaving you with a tight, dry feeling. Opt for body washes that naturally cleanse and soften your skin. Indulge in our Softening Shower Gel Rose, a gentle soap-free shower gel that helps restore moisture to the skin, smooth and rebalance dryness. Free from soaps, sulphates, parabens, artificial colours and fragrances, your skin will feel squeaky clean but still hydrated.AFTER THE SHOWERLotion: Don’t wait too long after leaving the shower to apply your body lotion, you want your skin to be slightly damp but not wet. By doing this, your skin will absorb the moisturising benefits ofyour body lotion or body butter more readily. Our Body Lotions are nothing short of a nourishing botanical cocktail for your skin. Rich in Avocado Oil, Shea Butter and Beeswax, they help protect your skin from environmental aggressors and also keep it supple, soft and glowing.Body Oil: Seal in all that moisture with a body oil. Body oils are formulated to replenish and nurture the skin. Rich in essential fatty acids, our Rose Body Oil is lightweight, so your skin won’t be left feeling too greasy. Pour a small amount onto the palms of your hands and apply to the skin with smooth massage strokes. Not only does the delicate scent of Rose smell divine, but your skin will be left nourished and ultra-smooth and soft.Unearth a natural remedy for every body. Our aromatic selection of Shower Gels and Body Lotions are enriched with the restorative powers of Nature.

THE BENEFITS OF AVOCADO OIL IN SKIN CARE
Avocado has long been the darling of superfoods, thanks to it being high in healthy fats, potassium, fibre, vitamins and other nutrients. It’s part of the reason avocado toast has become the millennial breakfast of choice and why the ingredient has been popping up in new incarnations in cafes and restaurants the world over. But did you know Avocado Oil has lots of benefits for your skin too? Yep, applying Avocado Oil onto your skin is just as beneficial as eating the fruit – here’s why.What is Avocado Oil?Avocado Oil is exactly what it says on the tin: oil derived from an avocado. It’s a natural by-product that comes from the pressed pulp of the avocado and is often used in cooking, like olive oil, as well as skin care products.What are the benefits of Avocado Oil for skin?This nourishing plant oil is rich in essential fatty acids that hydrate and soften the skin and protect it from moisture loss and dehydration. It also helps rebalance and comfort delicate skin. The oil is high in vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well minerals such as iron, magnesium, copper and potassium. Together, these properties help to regenerate the skin, keep it hydrated, work to fight free radicals and promote collagen production. Avocado Oil also minimises inflammation and can calm dry, itchy skin, making it a great ingredient for dry, sensitive or problematic skin.Bottle of Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil next to Amethyst stone and two green leaves How to use Avocado Oil for your skinAvocado Oil can be used on your skin in its purest form (look for an oil that is organic, unrefined and cold pressed to reap the most benefits) but it’s also used as a key ingredient in some skin care products – including some at Jurlique:Skin Balancing Face Oil: Our bestselling Skin Balancing Face Oil deeply nourishes and balances the skin, protecting it from moisture loss.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN IN SUMMER
There’s nothing quite like summer. Days are endless, the sun seems to make everything better and it’s almost a given that you completely switch off and do nothing but enjoy the warmer weather for a few months. But as happy as we are to pack our coats away for the season, summer can wreak havoc on your skin if you don’t look after it properly. UVA/UVB rays are at their peak during the summer months, and the humidity and hot weather can stimulate your sebaceous glands and leave you with clogged pores – not the easy, low-maintenance summer beauty we all have in mind. To make sure you have the best skin possible this summer and discover our glowing skin care tips below. SIX TIPS FOR SUMMER-READY SKIN1. WEAR SUNSCREENBaz Lurhmann was right when he told everyone to ‘wear sunscreen’. Sunscreens act as a daily shield against harmful UV rays which penetrate your skin when exposed to the sun, as well as help prevent your skin from developing fine lines and wrinkles. Avoid sun damaged skin by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (even if it’s cloudy) and reapply every two-three hours. 2. APPLY AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUMIf you’re not already using one, apply an antioxidant serum to your morning skin care routine. Look for one that contains vitamins C and E, which help to neutralise free radicals and strengthen and protect the skin. Try our Herbal Recovery Signature Serum and start adding antioxidant-rich foods to your diet, such as tomatoes, capsicum and strawberries. Woman touching face with hands 3. EXFOLIATEThanks to sweat and sunscreen, your pores can get clogged easily during summer, so it’s important to gently exfoliate two-three times a week. Our Daily Exfoliating Cream gently lifts and removes dead surface skin and impurities, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and polished. 4. DOUBLE CLEANSEOn those nights you’re not exfoliating, go for a double cleanse. The first cleanse will remove oil, sweat, sunscreen and make up, while the second cleanse will deep clean your pores. Try our Nourishing Cleansing Oil, it’s a great hydrating cleanser for dry skin, and leaves your skin feeling softer and smoother. 5. SWITCH TO A LIGHTER MOISTURISERA moisturiser is important every time of year but while you may reach for those richer creams in winter to help nourish dry skin, they can feel too heavy come summer. Opt for a lightweight moisturiser instead, like our Herbal Recovery Signature Moisturising Lotion, that absorbs quickly and easily into the skin while still leaving you feeling hydrated and protected.

A face mist will help to top up your hydration levels throughout the day too, plus they can be a welcome refresher once the temperatures rise. Try keeping a bottle of our Rosewater Balancing Mist or Lavender Hydrating Mist in your bag for easy use.
