HOW TO CLEANSE PROPERLY
Pollution, smoke, makeup, sunscreens, and the natural build-up of dead surface skin and sebum can make skin look and feel dry, dull and lifeless.That’s why cleansing correctly is your first step to naturally radiant skin. But research from the International Dermal Institute says most of us spend just 20 seconds doing so. And when you’re tired, it can be tempting to skip cleansing completely (we’ve all done it).But cleansing doesn’t have to be a chore. Here’s how to cleanse properly – and leave your skin looking pure, smooth and hydrated.1 Choose the right cleanserEveryone’s skin is different, so it’s important to find the cleanser that’s right for you. Things to consider include your skin type, how you prefer to cleanse, and whether you need to remove eye makeup.Need help? Take a look at our guide to choosing the right botanical cleanser.2 Use warm waterHot water will dry skin out too much, which is why you want to keep the temperature down as you cleanse.3 Start at the topUsing small circular motions, start cleansing at your forehead, and move down to your nose and out to your cheeks before finishing at your neck.4 Cool rinseAfter you’ve cleansed, rinse with cool water to refresh your skin, and prepare it for the next steps of your skin care ritual.5 And repeatIt’s important to cleanse every morning and night. Your morning cleanse will help remove excess oil that’s built up on your skin overnight, while your evening cleanse will wash away the makeup, sunscreen, pollution and other impurities your skin has been exposed to during the day.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BEAUTY EVOLUTION
Ageing is a natural transformation that affects us all. In the skin, it’s caused by two key players: intrinsic factors (genetically inherited changes) and extrinsic factors (environmental aggressors like UV exposure). While both influence the skin’s structure and function, extrinsic factors are what cause the most visible changes — such as loss of radiance, deep lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, and dry, less supple skin.It’s important to recognise that beauty doesn’t decline with age, it simply evolves. By focusing on maintaining healthy skin function and protecting ourselves from the impact of environmental aggressors like UV exposure and pollution, skin tone and texture is restored, revitalized and radiance refreshed.NATURE HAS THE ANSWERSWhen looking for ways to improve skin vitality, we always look to Nature first for inspiration. After over three decades based in the Adelaide Hills, we continue to follow the time-honoured organic and sustainable farming methods of our founders to ensure that we not only maintain and respect the land but also the plants that power our products.Time has taught us that Antioxidant-rich ingredients and a natural, plant-based delivery system are the best way to help the skin evolve gracefully.THE POWER OF PLANTSBy fusing Nature and technology we’ve created Nutri-Define: a powerful anti-ageing ritual that is both skin compatible and remarkably effective. Our innovative liposomal delivery system, Biosome5, helps to effect the change we all want to see: contours appear re-defined, deep lines and wrinkles in soft focus, and softer, more supple skin.How Biosome5 works:1. Optimises Surface Condition Delivers an immediate moisturisation effect to the surface layers of the skin.2. Activates Ingredient Efficiency Delivers key active ingredients deep within the skin’s layers.3. Deeply Nourishes The micro-liposomal structure helps penetrate layers of theskin for long-lasting benefits.BEGIN YOUR BEAUTY EVOLUTIONTreating your skin to a daily commitment of care and protection not only sees visible results but enhances your sense of wellbeing.MORNING Awaken your skin by massaging Nutri-Define Refining Foaming Cleanser for a fresh start to the day. Follow with Nurti-Define Essential Conditioning Lotion to replenish your skin and prepare it for the Nutri-Define Superior Retexturising Facial Serum Apply 1-2 pumps of Nutri-Define Superior Retexturising Facial Serum to the face for a concentrated dose of Antioxidant-rich actives.

NUTRI-DEFINE: THE STORY BEHIND AN ANTI-AGEING BREAKTHROUGH
In 2010, we began a quest to create the most powerful anti-ageing skin care possible. Today, the groundbreaking Biosome5 technology that drives Nutri-Define brings together luxury, nature and science to redefine anti-ageing skin care. Here’s the story behind how we developed this natural breakthrough.We set ourselves a clear goal: to develop a range that targeted the multiple signs of ageing – including deep lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity and extreme dehydration – without compromising on luxury or our commitment to nature. And our first step was to find the perfect anti-ageing ingredients.Finding the perfect anti-ageing ingredientsWe searched the world to find the most powerful natural ingredients with proven anti-ageing qualities. Drawing on our decades of experience in biodynamic† farming and natural skin care, we selected five key ingredients: Horseradish: Helps improve skin firmness and elasticity. Rosemary: Enlivens the skin to help it look and feel rejuvenated. Peppermint: Revitalises dull skin while improving uneven skin texture. Mulberry root: High in antioxidants and phenolic compounds, it helps protect skin, brighten skin tone, and reduce the appearance of skin discolouration. Glycogen: Derived from pearlescent sea shells, it helps reinforce the skin’s natural defences and provides skin-firming benefits. Once we’d found the perfect natural anti-ageing ingredients, our next challenge was to find a way to deliver this luscious blend into the skin naturally.The solution: Jurlique’s first natural liposomeFollowing months of testing, our scientists developed a new, naturally derived liposome – a hollow, microscopic, fat-based vessel capable of safely delivering ingredients into the skin – with plant-based Lecithin.Together, our five anti-ageing botanicals and natural liposome became Biosome5 – an all-new technology with the power to safely deliver potent actives to where they’re most needed, so they can effectively address all the advanced signs of ageing.

Tips For Ageing Skin
Fine lines, a loss of firmness, skin that feels drier than it used to. The signs of ageing are familiar, but knowing where to start isn't always obvious. Anti-ageing skincare is a common search for people looking to address visible signs of ageing. This guide covers the ageing skincare tips worth knowing: why skin ages, what's worth doing, and how to build it into your ritual. Why Skin Ages Skin ages in two distinct ways, and they call for different responses. The first is simply time. Collagen production, the protein that keeps skin firm and plump, starts declining as we age, while elastin production and natural oil output slow alongside it. This is intrinsic ageing, and it's why fine lines and drier-feeling skin tend to emerge gradually rather than overnight. The second is everything skin encounters day to day: sun, pollution, smoking, poor sleep, an unbalanced diet. We call this collection of daily stressors the exposome, and the ageing it causes is known as extrinsic ageing. UV exposure is one of the biggest contributors to visible signs of skin ageing. Intrinsic ageing can't be changed. But you can help prevent the signs of extrinsic ageing, and that's where the tips below come in. Signs of Skin Ageing Fine lines and wrinkles, first around the eyes and mouth A loss of firmness, especially along the jawline and cheeks Dullness or unevenness in skin tone Skin that feels drier or thinner than it used to Visible sun damage, including pigmentation and broken capillaries Not every sign appears at once, and how early they show depends more on sun exposure and lifestyle than age alone. Ageing Skincare Tips Worth Knowing Wear SPF, every single day. Daily broad-spectrum sun protection is one of the most important steps for helping prevent visible signs of premature ageing. Apply it as the last part of your morning ritual, rain or shine. Cleanse gently, and extend that gentleness to your neck and hands. Harsh scrubbing and stripping cleansers irritate the skin barrier, which can leave the skin looking and feeling less resilient. A soft, botanical-rich cleanse from our cleansers range morning and night does more good than a heavy-duty one, and skin on the neck and hands is thinner, produces less natural oil, and often shows signs of ageing before the face does, even though it's usually left out of the routine. Add a treatment serum. Serums carry a higher concentration of active ingredients than moisturiser alone, so they earn their place straight after cleansing. Don't skip the eye area, and consider your sunglasses part of your skincare. Skin around the eyes is thinner and shows fatigue first, and repeated squinting in bright light can deepen fine lines over time. A dedicated eye formula and a good pair of sunglasses do more together than either does alone. Moisturise to lock it all in. From our moisturisers range, a rich formula helps nourish skin as it naturally produces less oil with age. Finish with a facial oil, if your skin wants it. A nourishing oil from our face oils range can help seal in hydration and support the skin barrier, especially for drier or more mature skin types. Look after the basics. Sleep, hydration, and cutting back on alcohol and cigarettes influence the skin barrier just as much as anything applied topically, and chronic stress has also been linked to a weaker skin barrier in some research. Stick with it. Skincare works best as a long-term habit, so give any new routine several weeks of regular use. Consistency gives these tips the best chance to show. Building Your Skincare Ritual For Ageing Skin Our mature skincare products collection puts these principles into practice with real, farm grown botanicals alongside proven actives. "Caring for mature skin goes beyond correcting wrinkles. Formulations combining nourishing botanical oils and targeted actives help address multiple signs of ageing while supporting skin barrier function," says Jurlique in-house expert Aline Lerond. Begin with the Nutri-Define Cleansing Foam from our Nutri-Define collection, a rich cream that transforms into a lightweight lather, sweeping away the day without stripping skin of what it needs. For your treatment step, the Nutri-Define Serum is clinically proven to improve the skin's moisture barrier and suppleness¹. "What I love about this serum is how it works holistically to support the skin," says Jurlique in-house expert Katie Morris. "It helps to hydrate and enhance natural radiance." For something lighter, the Herbal Recovery Bi-Phase Serum from our Herbal Recovery range pairs a water and oil phase and is clinically shown to reduce transepidermal water loss². For eye care, the Herbal Recovery Eye Oil Roll-On features a cooling applicator infused with Poppy Extract and farm grown Turmeric Root, clinically proven to improve skin luminosity and reduce the appearance of under-eye wrinkles and fine lines³. For mature skin that needs a little more richness, reach for the Nutri-Define Rich Cream. "As skin matures, maintaining both hydration and firmness becomes increasingly important," says Katie Morris. "A rich moisturiser with botanical actives like this helps to nourish the skin while achieving a smoother and more redefined appearance." To finish, the Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil is shown to improve skin firmness after 28 days of consistent use⁴. "A silky botanical oil like this helps skin smoothness while enhancing radiance and vitality," says Morris.

Get in touch with our team for personalised advice on building a ritual that works for your skin. FAQs What is the best skincare routine for ageing skin? There's no single formula, but the order matters: cleanse gently, treat with a targeted serum, care for the eye area, then moisturise and finish with an oil if needed. Sun protection sits over the top of all of it, every day. How do I stop my skin from looking old? You can't stop time passing, but daily sun protection is by far the biggest lever, followed by good hydration, decent sleep, and skincare built on ingredients with real evidence behind them. Can you reverse skin ageing? No. Ageing is a natural process, and no product can undo it. What a good routine can do is help soften the look of its visible signs. How can I look 20 years younger naturally? There isn't a shortcut, but the compound effect of daily sun protection, a considered ritual, good hydration and enough sleep adds up over months, not days. What makes your skin age the most? Sun exposure, by a significant margin. Genetics set the baseline, but pollution, smoking, poor sleep and diet, everything that makes up the exposome, all leave their mark before their time. ¹ Based on clinical studies of Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum: moisture barrier improved by 14% (54 subjects, 28 days); suppleness improved by up to 16% (55 subjects, 56 days). ² Based on a clinical evaluation of 32 subjects using Herbal Recovery Bi-Phase Serum twice daily for 28 days; transepidermal water loss reduced by 9%. ³ Based on clinical evaluations of Herbal Recovery Eye Oil Roll-On, used twice daily: skin luminosity improved by 19% (31 subjects, 56 days); appearance of under-eye wrinkles and fine lines reduced (31 subjects, 28 days). ⁴ Based on cutometry measurements on 30 subjects using Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil for 28 days; skin firmness improved by 18%.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SKIN TYPE
We all want to look and feel our best, so when it comes to your complexion, tailoring your skin care ritual to your skin type is key. But how do you know which skin type is yours? The way your skin appears and behaves can tell a lot about what’s going on behind the scenes, particularly when it comes to your overall skin health and well-being.Read on to learn how to identify and understand your skin type, so you can achieve your skin care goals.Dry skinA rough, flaky complexion that feels tight after cleansing is typical for anyone with dry skin. Dry skin can occur with external conditions that disturb your skin’s capacity to retain moisture (like extreme cold or heat), resulting in a thin, patchy surface. However, dry skin can also be a matter of genetics. The biggest issue with dry skin is prolonged dehydration can actually increase your chances of sensitivity and premature ageing.For dry skin types, boosting hydration during your skin care ritual is essential. When cleansing or exfoliating, choose natural, hydrating formulas that won’t strip your skin’s oil, and opt for rich moisturising creams and serums that deeply hydrate to restore skin health.blog-4-supporting-img-623x313-v2Ageing skinAs time goes by, our skin’s appearance and texture changes, affecting firmness, elasticity and moisture. Drier or duller skin than usual, as well as sun damage and the beginning of fine lines, can indicate age-related skin concerns. That said, it’s never too late to slow the ageing process by gracefully combating dryness, dullness and visible signs of ageing. Vigilant sun care and deeply hydrating moisturisers with pure, potent natural ingredients can help protect skin – no matter what your age.Tip: avoid harsh cleansers or exfoliants as they dehydrate, compounding moisture loss and the potential for sensitivity. Deeply nourishing creams and oils can help rejuvenate moisture and target problem areas like lines and wrinkles, as well as skin tone and firmness.Sensitive skinSensitive skin is easily irritated by external stimulants, evident in the red, blotchy symptoms that follow. You may notice itchiness, visible rashes or hives, swelling, or a tingling, stinging or burning sensation during skin reactions. Sensitive skin is more common in paler tones, the skin surface thinner and more translucent, making sensitive skin extra susceptible to environmental conditions and effects (for example, sunburn and photo-ageing).As sensitive skin types are prone to drying and irritation, avoid products with ingredients like artificial colours and fragrances. Natural skin care products with botanical extracts such as Calendula can also help soothe red skin and rebalance sensitivity.Oily skinYour skin’s sebaceous glands are responsible for the production of skin oil, or sebum. This can be influenced by many things, but the most common factor is hormones (think back to your skin during adolescence). When too much sebum escapes through your pores, a shiny, oily complexion results, with the additional problem of facilitating blemishes. Large, open pores can be an indication of oil production, but visibly smaller pores can also generate oily skin conditions – in the latter case, the culprit is likely to be skin care product-related.So what can you do? While it’s tempting to look for products that eliminate sebum, harsh ingredients can dehydrate skin – which can actually increase oil production. With oily skin types, cleansing gently but thoroughly, and finishing with a light moisturising lotion to rebalance oiliness, can help keep your skin’s oil production in check.Normal skinNormal skin is actually quite unusual, as other skin types are much more prevalent. Normal skin is clear and even, with a well-balanced surface that retains moisture, and minimal breakouts.Normal skin indicates healthy circulation, although impurities can occur from time to time, depending on individual skin care rituals. The trick for normal skin types is maintenance, so gentle, natural skin care products that focus on balance are best.The subtle differences between each skin type are a reality for all of us, whether we’re dry, ageing, sensitive, oily or normal. Identifying and understanding your skin type, and what it needs to look and feel its best, is the key to unlocking your skin’s wellness.What skin type are you, and what tips and tricks have you learned on your journey to skin wellness?
