FIRM SKIN IN 6 STEPS WITH OUR NUTRI-DEFINE RITUAL
The perfect skin care routine is best served as a ritual. A ritual steeped in self-care and gratitude, a ritual of patiently layering products and respect for the plant extracts they contain. The Nutri-Define range is exactly that opportunity. Consisting of six products that contain natural extracts with a rich supply of antioxidants, here we’ll teach you the order of applying skincare to boost skin radiance. THE NUTRI-DEFINE RITUAL Step One - Cleanse Our Nutri-Define Cleansing Foam gently cleanses, polishes and refines the skin as the first step in the Nutri-Define ritual. Apply a pearl sized amount to damp palm. Use fingertips to create a creamy-rich foam, adding a small amount of water. Apply foam on to face and massage gently in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly. Use Morning and Evening. Step Two - Prepare Our Activating Water Essence+ with Marshmallow Root extract is an essential preparation step to hydrate and condition. Warm product in hands and take a few moments to breath in the uplifting aroma to relax and re-energise the mind gently press and smooth over face, neck and décolletage, experience the harmonising scent. Step Three - Condition Our Nutri-Define Conditioning Lotion is a silky, lightweight lotion that works to deliver immediate skin hydration, preparing the skin for the rest of the Nutri-Define ritual. Apply 1-2 pumps, press and smooth evenly onto face, neck and décolletage. Use Morning and Evening. Step Four - Nourish Our Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum a silky, smooth serum to help replenish the skin’s natural lipid barrier and to firm the skin. Warm 1-2 pumps between fingertips, then gently press and smooth evenly onto face, neck and décolletage. Use Morning and Evening. Step Five - Treat Our Nutri-Define Supreme Eye Contour Balm is a luxuriously rich cream that smooths and illuminates to leave the eye area looking refreshed and visibly younger. Apply a small amount to fingertips or applicator. Gently smooth cream around eye contour area. The cooling and soothing feel of the metal tip helps to relax and rejuvenate the eye area. Use Morning and Evening. Step Six - Restore Our Nutri-Define Restorative Light Cream, for combination/normal skin, or our Nutri-Define Restorative Rich Cream, for dry skin, are both enriched with Spilanthes extract, Horseradish extract and the Jurlique Radiance Blend to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. Warm between fingertips, then gently press and smooth evenly onto face, neck and décolletage. Use Morning and Evening. EXPERT TIP Our six ritual steps are further enhanced by daily SPF protection.

5 REASONS TO USE A BODY OIL
The skin on your body deserves just as much care as the skin on your face, but that doesn’t mean it always gets it. If you find yourself skipping the all-important step of post-shower body hydration, then perhaps the ritual of applying a luxurious oil to your limbs could help to make the habit stick. Oils have been used for thousands of years for their beautifying properties, and with good reason. Read on to discover why you should consider incorporating them into your daily ritual. 1. BODY OILS ARE EFFECTIVE AT TACKLING DRY SKIN First and foremost, body oils are amazing at relieving dry, scaly skin caused by changing weather, too-hot showers, and harsh cleansers. A good body oil works to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. Contrary to what you might expect, oils are absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue. But when to use body oil? For best results, apply your chosen oil – we highly recommend our delightfully scented Rose Body Oil – to slightly damp skin straight after your bath or shower. 2. THEY COULD POSITIVELY IMPACT YOUR MOOD, AS WELL AS YOUR SKIN When choosing the best body oil for you, opt for a scent that aligns with your personal needs. Aromatherapy can be a powerful tool in influencing your state of mind, for example our Lavender Body Oil can relax and soothe as you wind down before bedtime. 3. BODY OILS ARE AN ECONOMICAL CHOICE A body oil’s versatility makes it an economical addition to your beauty arsenal. As well as slathering oil over your skin, you could add a few drops to your bath; use it to soften cuticles during an at-home mani-pedi; or apply it as a relaxing massage oil. It’s also worth noting that a little goes a long way, so you won’t find yourself having to restock too regularly either. 4. THEY CAN HELP TO PROTECT AND REPAIR THE SKIN Natural, plant-derived oils – such as Jojoba and Macadamia – are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that can protect the skin against environmental aggressors, whilst also renewing damaged cells and preventing ageing. Certain oils are even thought to help heal scars, fade the appearance of stretch marks, and soothe irritated skin. Deeply nourishing, our Jojoba Carrier Oil can be used alone or blended with your favorite essential oils. 5. BODY OILS CAN ENHANCE YOUR EXISTING BEAUTY PRODUCTS Maybe you’re still wondering, is body oil better than lotion? We say neither is better than the other, it’s simply down to your own personal preference. Obviously, the main difference here is texture. If you aren’t quite ready to commit, adding a drop of oil to one of our Body Lotions offers an easy way to introduce it into your regime, delivering richness and extra hydrating properties to the skin.
