How Rare Rose Supports Skin and Mind
Ever noticed how your skin changes when you’re stressed? That’s not a coincidence. Cortisol, known as the body’s natural stress hormone, plays a key role in how your skin looks and feels. Studies have shown that stress can impact your skin. The Clinical Science Behind Rare Rose Rare Rose was designed with this connection in mind, with a skincare range that supports both visible results and emotional wellbeing. At the heart of these formulas is our exclusive rose duo, Jurlique Rose and Intense Rose, grown and hand-harvested on our biodynamic farm5. Using an innovative Supercritical CO₂ extraction method, our Rare Rose Face Oil captures the purity and potency of Jurlique Rose, unlocking new benefits. The range features a rosy, 100% natural origin fragrance2, clinically tested at POLA R&M facilities with proven results. Studies show that simply experiencing the Rare Rose fragrance helps lower cortisol levels3, reducing the negative effects of stress on the mind3. This sensorial experience offers a moment of pause, a calming skincare ritual that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and relax. With Rare Rose, skin is not only hydrated, but supported through a more holistic approach to wellbeing. The results are both felt and experienced, reinforcing the powerful link between scent, emotion and skin. In our trials, 100% of consumers agree that the fragrance helps them relax and inspires a sense of wellbeing4. A Ritual for Stress and Skin Create a simple, skin-loving ritual that supports both your skin and mind: Activating Water Essence+ to prepare and activate the skin Rare Rose Serum to instantly hydrate, plump, and boost elasticity Rare Rose Emulsion to soften, comfort dryness, and lock in moisture Rare Rose Face Oil to strengthen the skin barrier and leave skin supple and radiant Healthy looking skin comes down to more than just your skincare; it’s also shaped by how you feel.

What Does 120-Hour Hydration Really Mean?
What does 120 hours of hydration really mean for your skin? Does it mean your skin stays hydrated for five days straight? That you don’t need to reapply? Or that the product somehow stays on your skin the entire time? It’s an easy assumption, but not quite how it works. You’re still cleansing, applying products daily and going about your routine. What it really speaks to is performance. A high-performing formula helps support the skin barrier and helps to reduce water loss, so your skin can retain hydration for longer, give you radiant, glowing skin. Our Rare Rose Range was thoughtfully crafted with this in mind. The ultra-lightweight, ultra-clean formulas, powered by 100% natural origin ingredients¹, deliver with 120-hour hydration2, helping skin stay soft, resilient and replenished long after application. In this guide, we break down the science behind the claim so you can understand how long-lasting hydration works, and why it makes all the difference to your skin. What Does 120 Hours of Hydration Mean? When we talk about 120 hours of hydration, we’re referring to how your skin retains hydration even 5 days after the last application of product. While some hydrating products deliver instant softness or plumpness, this can quickly fade if the skin cannot retain moisture. Our 120 hour hydration works differently. It strengthens the skin barrier and supports how moisture is received, distributed and held within the skin, helping skin to retain hydration over time. Hydration is the foundation of healthy-looking, radiant skin. And when hydration is maintained, skin doesn’t just look better, it functions at its best, feeling more supple and resilient, with a lasting, natural glow. 100% Natural Origin Skincare Our Rare Rose Range delivers hydration through a multi-layered approach, combining advanced skin science and rich botanical expertise. Our Rare Rose Serum features a fresh, lightweight formula with two Hyaluronic Acids. High-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid instantly boosts hydration by attracting moisture to the surface, while low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid delivers a continuous surge of hydration3 to help plump and smooth4 skin. Our Rare Rose Emulsion features an innovative new texture that combines the comfort of a cream with the lightness of a lotion, melting seamlessly into the skin. Enriched with high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid, it helps boost surface hydration, leaving skin feeling soft and replenished. And at the heart of these formulas is our exclusive rose duo, Jurlique Rose and Intense Rose, grown and hand-harvested on our biodynamic farm5. In our Rare Rose Face Oil, the Supercritical CO₂ extraction method, captures new components of Jurlique Rose to unlock enhanced benefits for the skin. As a result, these botanicals have been proven to boost hydration6, support water flow within the skin7, and help strengthen the skin barrier8, locking in moisture. Who is Rare Rose For? Our Rare Rose Range is ideal for dehydrated skin. Think of skin that feels tight or sensitive, looks dull, and never quite feels hydrated or plump. Dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, the range features gentle, fast-absorbing formulas that never feel heavy or overwhelming. If you’re looking to support your skin over time, not just in the moment, this is where Rare Rose fits in. By providing proven long-lasting hydration, skin feels smoother, more resilient and visibly radiant, while defending against dehydration to prevent signs of premature ageing. Clinically Proven Hydration The results speak for themselves. Our Rare Rose range is clinically proven to reduce water loss by 20%9, restore moisture balance9, reinforce the skin barrier9 and reduce dryness by 45%10, helping lock in hydration for the long term. Based on our studies, customers can feel the difference. 100% agree skin looks fresh, dewy and more relaxed11, while 98% agree skin feels hydrated and looks more radiant11. Two Australian B Corps, One Thoughtful Collaboration Jurlique and Sienna, two Australian B Corps, came together through a shared love of nature and a simple belief: what we place on skin and nails should be crafted with care. Together, we created Rare Rose Nail Polish in Jurlique Pink, a limited-edition shade inspired by the roses cultivated and hand-harvested on our Adelaide Hills farm. These blooms are at the heart of our Rare Rose skincare collection, and inspired a new way to enjoy the ritual, with a pink nail polish designed to bring a little beauty and joy to your everyday. From our farm-grown roses to Sienna’s thoughtfully created plant-based nail polish and signature timber cap from the Byron Hinterland, our partnership reflects a shared commitment to nature, sustainability and conscious formulation. It’s also a celebration of the small moments of care we make for ourselves, from skin to fingertips. ¹ISO 16128-1 and ISO 16128-2 (including formulation water) 2Clinical study, 50+ subjects, 28 days twice daily application, followed by comparison study of hydration levels after 120 hours from last use vs no application. 3Clinical study, 30 subjects, 1h, 2h and 4h after a single application 4Clinical study, 30 subjects, 30 days after twice daily application 5Certified biodynamic by ACO Certification Ltd, Australia.

What Causes Dehydrated Skin & How to Help It
Tight, dull skin that doesn't respond to moisturiser is often a sign of dehydration, not dryness, one of the most common, and most misunderstood, skin concerns. Here's what causes it, and how to help skin find its way back to balance. What is Dehydrated Skin? Skin holds around 70% water, and loses close to half a litre a day through evaporation. Dehydration sets in once that water drops faster than skin can replace it. Unlike dry, oily or combination skin, dehydration isn't a skin type — it's a condition that can affect any skin, and it usually improves once the cause is addressed. If you're not sure whether you're dealing with dehydration or genuinely dry skin, see the difference here. How Does Skin Prevent Dehydration? That job falls to the skin barrier, the outermost layer, that works to keep water in and everything else out. A healthy barrier holds onto moisture efficiently, and skin looks plump and feels comfortable. Once it's weakened, water escapes faster than it can be replaced, which is why dehydrated skin can feel like it's soaking up product without ever actually feeling hydrated. "A compromised skin barrier can contribute to dehydration and the appearance of premature ageing. Reinforcing barrier function is essential for resilient, hydrated skin," says Jurlique in-house expert Aline Lerond. What Does Dehydrated Skin Look Like? Signs of Dehydrated Skin Tightness, most noticeable after cleansing Dullness, even when nothing else has changed Itchiness or general discomfort Sensitivity to products that didn't bother skin before More visible fine lines, since skin isn't plump enough to smooth them out Because dehydration is about water, not oil, oily and acne-prone skin can be just as affected as dry skin, often more, since drying treatments are usually what trigger it. What Causes Dehydrated Skin? Dehydrated Skin Causes It's rarely one cause, usually several compounding at once: Harsh skincare habits like over-exfoliating, alcohol-heavy formulas, and cleansers that strip rather than clean Environmental stress, including UV exposure, pollution, free radicals, cold weather and dry air Lifestyle factors, not enough sleep, ongoing stress, smoking, drinking A handful of underlying conditions, such as eczema or the natural changes skin goes through with age These factors wear the barrier down over time. Once compromised, it can't hold onto the moisture it needs to restore itself, so water keeps escaping and the barrier keeps weakening, leaving skin less able to stay balanced and resilient. That's the dehydration loop, and why it tends to worsen the longer it's left. How to Prevent Skin Dehydration Breaking the cycle starts with working with skin rather than against it: protecting the barrier before it's compromised, going easier on skin, limiting exposure to extreme weather and pollution where you can, and not underestimating what sleep, stress and hydration levels do to your complexion. Cleansing is often where the loop begins, so it's worth starting there. Our Replenishing Cleansing Lotion, enriched with softening Marshmallow Root, removes make-up and impurities in a single clean without stripping the skin, and is safe for use around the eye area. For deeper support, our Rare Rose range, powered by our farm-grown Jurlique Rose and Intense Rose — was developed around this exact cycle. For a first surge of hydration, add Rare Rose Serum to your routine. “Rare Rose Serum combines two Jurlique Roses with a dual-molecular-weight of Hyaluronic Acid to replenish moisture, regulate water balance and strengthen the skin barrier,” says Lerond. Prefer something lighter? Rare Rose Emulsion is a sheer alternative. “Rare Rose Emulsion features a sheer, milky texture designed to replenish and soften skin, delivering light yet restorative hydration. Ideal for dry to combination skins,” Lerond notes. To seal everything in, finish with Rare Rose Face Oil. “Rare Rose Face Oil combines Chia Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Vitamin E and Squalane, with a Supercritical CO₂ extract of the Jurlique Rose, to support hydrated, supple and radiant skin,” says Lerond. Rare Rose Cream, formulated with our Rose Droplet technology for extended-release hydration and Cupuacu Butter to help retain water, is shown to provide 24-hour hydration¹. For a fuller routine, see our guides on how to hydrate your skin and how to deal with dehydrated skin, or explore our moisturiser, face mist and essence and body ranges. Still not sure where to start? Get in touch with our team for personalised advice on building a ritual that works for your skin. FAQs How can I fix dehydrated skin? Protect the barrier rather than just piling on moisture, go gentler on skin, cut back anything that strips it, and support hydration from within. Because dehydration is temporary rather than a fixed skin type, it tends to respond faster than genuinely dry skin would. What are two warning signs of dehydration? Tightness after cleansing and a duller-than-usual complexion, the two most reliable early signs, usually appearing before fine lines or itchiness do. What is dehydrated skin lacking? Water, not oil. Dehydrated skin can still produce a normal, or even excess, amount of natural oil, which is why it's often mistaken for oily or combination skin rather than recognised as a hydration issue, the fix is about restoring water levels, not stripping more oil away. ¹ Based on a trial of 22 people using Rare Rose Cream, measured by corneometry on the forearm 24 hours after a single application.

How to Hydrate Your Skin (& Keep It Hydrated)
Skin hydration isn't a one-step fix, it's a ritual. If you've ever wondered how to hydrate skin properly, or why it seems to lose that dewy, plump look by mid-afternoon, the answer usually isn't a single "miracle" product. It's about layering the right steps in the right order, so skin can hold onto moisture instead of losing it a few hours later. Here's how to hydrate your skin, how to help dehydrated skin, and, just as importantly, how to rehydrate your skin once it's already lost that moisture. Step 1: Prepare the Skin Hydrating skincare works best when it has something to hold onto. That's why the first step in any ritual focused on how to keep skin hydrated is preparation, not moisturiser. Jurlique's Activating Water Essence+ is designed for use right after cleansing, priming skin for better absorption of everything applied afterwards. It's clinically proven to increase hydration by 55% within 10 minutes¹, and to improve elasticity, suppleness and hydration further with 7 days of twice-daily use², powered by two Marshmallow Root extracts. Before that, though, cleansing matters more than people think. A cleanser that strips the skin can undo your hydration efforts before you've even started. "Effective cleansing is the foundation of every skincare ritual," says Katie Morris, Jurlique's Retail & Spa Educator. "Our Nourishing Cleansing Oil gently dissolves makeup, sunscreen and daily impurities leaving skin perfectly prepared to absorb the benefits of the rest of the ritual to follow." It's formulated with a blend of eight farm-grown botanicals, including Black Elderflower and Calendula, and is gentle enough for the eye area.³ Step 2: Layer in Targeted Hydration Once skin is cleansed and prepped, this is where a hydrating face serum earns its place. Jurlique's Herbal Recovery Bi-Phase Serum combines a water phase and an oil phase in one formula, the former to deliver hydration, the latter to lock it in. It's clinically shown to boost hydration by 25% immediately after a single application and improve skin barrier function with continued use,⁶ good if your skin needs hydration and recovery support at once, particularly after poor sleep, travel, or environmental stress. If you want an even lighter, more portable option, a hydrating mist like Jurlique's Rosewater Balancing Mist is one of the easiest ways to hydrate your skin naturally throughout the day. "Infused with our farm grown Jurlique Rose extract, it is perfect for on-the-go hydration and a moment of self-care," says Katie, especially when skin starts to feel dry or tight between your morning and evening rituals. Step 3: Seal It In Hydration doesn't last if it isn't sealed in. This is where a moisturiser or a facial oil comes in. For an everyday cream, "a Jurlique cult favourite for a reason, our Moisture Replenishing Day Cream is enriched with farm grown botanicals and a blend of plant oils to replenish and protect the skin like no other," says Katie. Avocado, Safflower and Jojoba oils work alongside Shea Butter and Beeswax to help lock in moisture long after application. For those who prefer an oil-based finish, Jurlique's Rare Rose Face Oil is a dry-finish facial oil enriched with an extract of Jurlique Rose shown to improve skin suppleness.⁴ In a consumer trial, 93% said their skin looked and felt smoother 30 minutes after a single application,⁵ a nice way to end a ritual focused on how to get hydrated skin that stays that way. A Few Extra Habits Worth Building In Rehydrating your skin isn't only about what you apply topically: Don't skip water intake. Topical hydration works best alongside genuine hydration from within. Reapply through the day, rather than only hydrating once in the morning. A mist or light layer of serum midday makes a real difference. Protect what you've hydrated. Pollution and UV exposure are major contributors to moisture loss, so daily protection matters as much as daily hydration. Explore More Browse the full face range, our dedicated moisturisers collection, or face mists and essences. For body dryness, explore the body range. Not sure which combination is right for you? Get in touch with our team. Frequently Asked Questions What is the fastest way to rehydrate your skin? Layer a hydrating essence or mist onto damp, freshly cleansed skin, then seal it in with a moisturiser or facial oil while skin is still damp. This traps far more moisture than applying the same products to dry skin. How can I hydrate my skin naturally? Look for naturally derived humectants like glycerin, botanical extracts such as Marshmallow Root (known for its moisture-retaining mucilage), and plant oils that support the skin barrier, alongside water intake and protection from environmental stressors. How can I really hydrate my skin? Consistency matters more than any single product. A full ritual, cleanse, hydrate with an essence or serum, then seal with a moisturiser, outperforms any one "hero" product used on its own. What hydrates extremely dry skin? Richer emollients and oils, such as Jojoba, Squalane and Shea Butter, combined with barrier-supporting humectants. Extremely dry skin generally needs layered hydration rather than a single lightweight formula.

How to Choose the Best Moisturiser for Your Skin Type
Standing in front of a shelf of creams, it's easy to wonder: what moisturiser should I use? The honest answer is there's no single "best face moisturiser". Moisturising daily is one of the simplest things you can do for your skin, but choosing a formula that matches your skin type is what makes that habit actually work. Here's how to choose a moisturiser that's right for you, and where to find it. Start With Your Skin Type Before you can pick a moisturiser, it helps to understand your skin type: normal, dry, sensitive, or mature, and what each one is asking for. Normal or combination skin generally wants a moisturiser that replenishes and protects without overwhelming it. "A Jurlique cult favourite for a reason, our Moisture Replenishing Day Cream is enriched with farm grown botanicals and a blend of plant oils to replenish and protect the skin like no other," says Katie Morris, Jurlique's Retail & Spa Educator. If your skin isn't showing signs of dryness, sensitivity or ageing in particular, this is a solid everyday starting point. Dry skin needs a moisturiser for dry skin. Look for rich emollients that help restore the skin's own barrier. A cream built around plant oils and butters, like Jojoba, Safflower, Avocado and Shea Butter, earns its keep here, helping skin hold onto moisture for longer. Sensitive skin is one of the most common, and most misunderstood, skin conditions. It shows up as redness, dryness, irritation and discomfort, often triggered by genetics, stress and environmental factors like pollution and UV exposure. If this sounds familiar, you're looking for the best moisturisers for sensitive skin, not just the richest one. Jurlique's Calendula Cream was built specifically for this: a soothing, restorative treatment powered by farm-grown Manuka Leaf and Calendula Flower, with Tasmanian Pepper Leaf extract shown to help calm skin and visibly reduce redness. In a month-long clinical study of 33 participants using Calendula Cream twice daily, it was shown to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier by 14%¹ and increase hydration by 39%¹. Mature skin has different priorities again. "As skin matures, maintaining both hydration and firmness becomes increasingly important," says Katie. "A rich moisturiser with botanical actives like this helps to nourish the skin while achieving a smoother and more redefined appearance." Jurlique's Nutri-Define Rich Cream delivers on that with an advanced delivery technology that helps skin absorb key botanical actives, including Spilanthes Flower extract, more effectively, and is clinically proven to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles after just 28 days.² Stressed, dull or dehydrated skin, often more a result of your week than your actual skin type, benefits from antioxidant support. "When skin is exposed to daily stress, it often shows up as dullness, dehydration and early signs of ageing," says Katie. "Our Herbal Recovery Cream harnesses antioxidant rich botanicals and Vitamin C to help restore skin energy, resilience and bring back visible radiance." It's clinically shown to increase hydration by 38.4% after a single application, with continued twice-daily use also shown to improve skin elasticity.³ And if you want something a little more indulgent, "this luxurious moisturising cream delivers lasting hydration throughout the day with our Rose Droplet Technology and exclusive Jurlique Rose extract," says Katie. Jurlique's Rare Rose Cream is clinically shown to increase hydration by 16% immediately after application, with hydration still measurably higher 24 hours later.⁴ A silky texture with Cupuacu Butter and a botanical hyaluronic acid alternative makes it a good option if your skin craves a richer daily ritual. For a deeper look at whether your skin is dry by nature or just dehydrated right now, read our earlier piece on dehydrated vs dry skin, as the distinction changes what your moisturiser needs to do. Building the Rest of Your Ritual A moisturiser works best as part of a full ritual, not in isolation. Pair it with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type, and browse the full range of face and moisturiser options. Still not sure where to start? Get in touch and our team can point you towards the right formula. Or let Jurlique do the matching for you: our Best Moisturisers guide breaks the full range down by skin type and concern. Frequently Asked Questions What ingredients should I look for in a moisturiser? Look for humectants (like glycerin) to draw in moisture, emollients (like plant oils and shea butter) to soften, and barrier-supporting ingredients to help skin hold onto hydration. If your skin is sensitive, soothing botanicals like Calendula and Chamomile are worth prioritising. How often should I moisturise my face? Twice daily, morning and evening, applied after cleansing while skin is still slightly damp so it locks in more hydration. Should I moisturise if I have oily or skin? Yes. Skipping moisturiser can encourage oilier skin, as it tries to compensate for lost hydration. Look for a lighter, non-comedogenic formula rather than skipping this step. What is the difference between lotion, cream, and moisturiser? "Moisturiser" is the general term for any product that hydrates skin. Lotions are lighter and water-based, suited to warmer weather or oilier skin, while creams are thicker and richer, ideal for dry or mature skin.

How to Deal with Dehydrated Skin
We ask a lot of our skin every day, from early mornings and late nights to long hours in air-conditioned spaces or out in the elements. Through it all, our skin works hard to stay hydrated and balanced, but it doesn’t always get the support it needs. Dehydration is one of the most common yet misunderstood skin concerns. While dry skin is a skin type, dehydrated skin is a temporary condition that can affect all skin types. Put simply, it means your skin is lacking water. And in the pace of modern life, everyday stressors can quietly drain our skin of moisture. The good news? Hydration isn’t complicated. With simple daily rituals, you can replenish moisture and restore your natural glow. What Dehydrated Skin Looks (and Feels) Like Dehydrated skin doesn’t always reveal itself right away. It might feel tight or uncomfortable, look a little dull or lacklustre, or show signs of sensitivity, flakiness, or itchiness. Sometimes, it even appears oilier than usual when the skin tries to compensate for water loss by producing more oil. However it shows up, dehydration is your skin’s quiet way of asking for replenishment. And while we often associate hydration with dry skin, the truth is that any skin type, whether oily, sensitive, or combination, can lack essential moisture. Why Does Skin Lose Hydration? Skin dehydration isn’t necessarily caused by one thing; it’s shaped by a number of everyday factors. Commuting, air-conditioning, long-haul flights, seasonal shifts, exposure to sun or wind, makeup, and even environmental pollution can gradually strip skin of its natural moisture reserves. Over time, this loss of hydration can compromise your skin’s vitality, making it more reactive, less resilient, and slower to recover. That’s why replenishing hydration isn’t a once-a-day task; it’s an ongoing, nourishing ritual. Simple Daily Rituals to Restore Hydration The most powerful changes start with small, intentional moments. Begin by listening to your skin. Does it feel tight mid-morning? Look dull mid-afternoon? These are gentle reminders that it’s time to pause and replenish. Incorporating a hydrating mist, like our new Holy Basil & Aloe Hydrating Mist or Rosewater Balancing Mist, is an effortless way to instantly hydrate skin throughout the day. A quick misting moment can instantly boost hydration, refresh makeup, restore radiance, and bring your skin back into balance, wherever you are. And don’t forget your hands. They are constantly exposed to the elements and are often stripped of moisture from frequent washing. Keeping a nourishing Rose Hand Cream in your bag or on your desk helps support hydration and turns a moment of care into a soothing pause in your day. When your hydration ritual becomes a habit, not just a step, you invite moments of calm to nourish skin and senses, creating a lasting foundation for skin that looks radiant and feels replenished round the clock.

Mindful Home Rituals Inspired by Our Spa
When life feels full and fast-paced, making time for self-care can sometimes feel like a luxury. But just a few intentional moments can help shift your state of mind (and your skin). That’s why creating at-home spa rituals matters more than ever. In our spas, the power of aromatherapy is woven into every treatment to help relax the body and mind. With the launch of our Aromatherapy Candle Collection, that same sensorial experience is yours to enjoy from home, making it easier than ever to unwind, reset and reconnect, even on the busiest days. Bringing the Jurlique Spa Experience Home Recreating a spa-like atmosphere doesn’t have to be complicated. With the gentle flicker of a candle, botanical aromas, and intentional rituals, your home can become a sanctuary, if only for a moment. Our new Aromatherapy Candles are designed to elevate everyday spaces, setting the scene with scented rituals that support mindful moments. Pair your candle with a touch-based ritual, whether a few gentle strokes with a gua sha or a muscle-melting massage with body oil. These small acts of care, anchored in scent and touch, create space to reconnect with the mind and body. Our Balance and Relax Aromatherapy Candles Choose your candle based on your mood, or let your intuition lead the way. Whether you’re looking to feel more centred or calm, there’s a scent to support your intention. Balance Aromatherapy Candle Reach for this when life feels a little uneven or when you’re feeling tired, distracted, or overwhelmed. The warm floral scent, with notes of Geranium, Ylang Ylang and Rose Absolute, is designed to help you feel centred and steady, like a reset button for your day. Relax Aromatherapy Candle Light this candle when you’re feeling wired, stressed, or ready to wind down. The calming, woody blend of Bergamot, Australian Blue Cypress and Frankincense comforts the senses, inviting stillness and gently preparing the body for rest. The scent will help you switch off, release tension, and gently relax body and mind. Simple At-Home Ritual Ideas You don’t need an entire afternoon to enjoy the benefits of self-care. Even just a few minutes can restore calm, reconnect you with your breath, and nurture your skin and senses. Here are simple, achievable ways to create your own spa moments from home. Set the Mood Begin each ritual by lighting your chosen Balance or Relax Aromatherapy Candle. Let the soft glow and nature-inspired scent signal the shift from doing to being, offering a simple moment to pause, breathe, and ease into your ritual. Add a Touch-Based Ritual Pair your candle with a short skincare moment. Whether a facial massage or a gua sha ritual, touch helps deepen your connection to the present. Warm 3–5 drops of your favourite Jurlique Face Oil in your palms, gently press onto your face, neck, and décolletage. Use your Gua Sha with gentle pressure, starting at your forehead and working outwards towards the temples. Glide along the eye area, cheeks, jawline, and neck to help boost circulation. Acupressure & Breathwork Enhance your at-home ritual by combining the power of scent and touch with a simple acupressure technique. Using your ring fingers, gently apply firm pressure to each of the following seven points, one at a time. Begin at the third eye (between the eyebrows), then move to the top of the forehead, the temples, in front of the ears, above the top lip, under the bottom lip, and finally, the centre of the chest (at the sternum). As you press each point, breathe deeply, inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for four seconds, allowing your body to relax more deeply with every breath. Evening Rituals Whether you’re reading, journaling, listening to soft music, or simply unwinding in silence, light your Relax Candle and let the calming scent wrap around you as you transition into a restful evening and a more relaxed state of mind. To enhance the moment, add a soothing hand massage to your evening ritual. Using a small amount of Rose Hand Cream, rub your palms together, then gently knead each finger and the spaces between them. Finish with long, soothing strokes along the back of your hand. These rituals don’t need to be long. Just five quiet minutes with a calming scent or gentle touch can help shift your mood and reset your energy. Whether it’s at the end of a long day or in a small pocket of stillness, every mindful moment is an opportunity to feel more present and at ease.
