A GUIDE TO NATURAL VS. SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS IN ANTI-AGEING SKIN CARE
As consumers we’re becoming more switched on than ever about what we’re putting onto our skin. In the beauty sphere, the course of natural skin care in Australia has boomed. When it comes to anti-ageing skin care, it can be difficult picking the right product(s) and regimen that’s best for you, let alone working out if you’re team natural or team synthetic. Is organic skin care really better? Are natural ingredients less powerful? What are safe synthetics?Here’s our guide to answer some of those questions about natural skin care vs synthetic skin care and also go through the best ingredients for anti-ageing. NATURAL ANTI-AGEING INGREDIENTS FOR SKIN To have a product boast being natural is alluring without a doubt. But it’s important to be wary as not all-natural ingredients are good, non-GMO or ethically sourced. At Jurlique we take the uncompromising task to preserve the integrity of nature and challenge what’s possible form natural skin care.AntioxidantsAntioxidants are a broad category of natural ingredients and include essential fatty acids like Rosehip Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. All of these ingredients boost collagen naturally, aid moisture retention and fight environmental aggressors. Grapeseed oil reduces fine lines, Avocado Oil nurtures the skin, while Rosehip Oil is rich in essential fatty acids and known for its restorative properties. You can find this antioxidant-rich blend of botanical oils in our Herbal Recovery Antioxidant Face Oil. A few drops mixed in with your moisturisers will revitalise your complexion and minimise the first signs of ageing.Plant extractsPreserving the integrity of nature by harnessing potent plant extracts for skin is at the heart of what we do at Jurlique. This is why we use our Bio-Intrinsic™ method, an alchemistic process that involves three stages where all the powerful ingredients from plants and herbs are extracted - the essence and life force of the plant is captured to deliver a magnified plant extract powerful enough to enhance the beauty of your skin.Our Herbal Recovery Eye Cream harnesses potent plant extracts and is clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.iThe Yarrow Extract from our Jurlique farm in our Herbal Recovery Signature Serum also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.Advanced natural technologiesAs we get older, a targeted skin care routine is essential. At Jurlique we challenge the orthodoxies of natural skin care by fusing science and natural ingredients to create high performing, potent skin care for healthy beautiful skin.With our new reformulated anti-ageing Nutri-Define range, we fuse our most advanced, next generation Biosome6 Technology with the power of nature. Our Biosome6 Technology is an exclusive Jurlique liposome that delivers active natural ingredients deeper into the layers of ageing skin. 75% of women said their skin was more visibly youthful and 89% noticed a visible improvement in overall appearance of skin.iiSkin superfoodsThis category includes natural ingredients that are so effective they deserve a mention. Spilanthes extract helps promote collagen production, making it a powerful anti-ageing ingredient. Horseradish also boosts collagen production and helps minimise the appearance of skin discolouration. With 1-2 pumps of our Nutri-Define Supreme Rejuvenating Serum followed by Nutri-Define Supreme Eye Contour Balm and your choice of either Nutri-Define Supreme Restorative Rich Cream or Light Cream, these key ingredients will target key ageing concerns like loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone and wrinkles leaving you with luminous, redefined, youthful skin. Open skin care bottles sitting on a grey counter SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS Using synthetic ingredients is almost inevitable. Ingredients with SPF, glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid have become staples in many skincare rituals. Here are some good synthetic ingredients you can look out for:RetinolRetinol is a synthetic Vitamin A derivative effective on stimulating collagen, cell turnover and reversing signs of ageing. Start with low concentration to avoid skin irritation. It’s important to note that retinol increases your skin’s sensitivity to sun, so make sure to wear a good SPF during the day. Products containing retinol are unsafe to use during pregnancy.EnzymesAHAs like glycolic acids and BHAs like salicylic acid both act to fight dullness and textured skin. It’s all about experimentation - start small with acids because if they’re overused, they can cause skin irritation and chemical burns. Low concentrations of AHA can be used during pregnancy, but BHAs in general should be avoided. THE BOTTOM LINE Some synthetic ingredients certainly offer anti-ageing benefits, but rest assured there are plenty of natural alternatives that are equally, if not more, effective. There’s no rule saying you can’t use both. They key is to make sure all ingredients you use on your skin are safe, effective and scientifically backed.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE ROSE-INFUSED SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

PAIGE HASABALLAH’S CREATIVE PROCESS
Paige Hasaballah, or Delta Venus to her Instagram followers, is a Melbourne-based artist who draws upon her Egyptian cultural heritage and Australian upbringing to create modern, abstract art. The result is a collection of contemporary paintings that can mean so many different things to different people: the sign of a great artist.In celebration of our latest Adriana Picker-designed limited-edition products – Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition and Jurlique Rose Luxe Edition Hand Cream – we spoke to Paige about her own creative process and how she incorporates the products into her own daily routine.Tell us about your work and what you do?I am a visual artist, designer and poet. My work is about the embodiment of light and dark, conscious and subconscious, inner and outer worlds. My aim is to create a space within which people experiencing the work can reflect on themselves.How did you get into this position?Looking back on it I can't help but see some very divine timing. My design work kept me working predominantly on computers or electronic devices, so I had a real pull to work in a more tactile space and use my hands. I have always been really drawn to building or creating with different materials. In late 2017, my family lost our grandmother on my Egyptian side. Within a number of days after she passed, I began painting for the first time in my life. Things took off really quickly from there as I began to publicly share what I was creating with others. Now I see myself as a vessel for the work to flow through and into the lives of others.Describe your process when it comes to your work – how do you tackle a new project?I hold space within myself for the work to move through me. I think of it as a sort of meditation or prayer. A vision will come to me in a dream or a moment of quiet surrender, I pick up water materials I am pulled to and breathe deeply. The work sort of creates itself, it's just my job to get out of the way.What challenges do you face in your work?I think my main challenge is around resisting the natural flow of things. At times I find myself trying to force a piece of art or painting because I think I "should" be doing that. I am yet to force out a piece of work I am happy with. Some days you need to bake a loaf of bread instead or go for a walk in the park or have a glass of wine with a friend. I am constantly reminding myself that magic happens in the flow state.What do you find most rewarding?The most rewarding part of the creative process for me is the way it allows me to connect with others. I have connected with so many incredible people across the world through this practice. Hearing the way one of my pieces inspires someone or prompts them to lean into their own power is the most fulfilling part of my practice.Face Scrub with leaf on a trayWhen you’re experiencing a creative block, how do you get out of it?A year ago, I would have said to push through it. Now my approach is a little more gentle. When I am feeling a creative block, I do something else, I follow the natural flow of my energy. When I am not resisting where it wants to take me, it always brings me back to creating. Some days I just need to detour past a few other things first.What advice would you give to others who are looking to explore their creativity?Get started and start with anything. Be playful with it. Try out different mediums. Don't be too attached to any sort of outcome and just see what comes up. You cannot fail in art, but you are certainly cheating yourself out of the pleasure of creation by holding yourself back.Talk us through how you use your limited edition Jurlique products throughout your dayThe Jurlique Rose Luxe Edition Hand Cream has been an absolute lifesaver for me over the past few weeks. I have been restoring furniture outside of my other creative work and all of that sanding really wears your skin down. Each night and morning I put on the hand cream and it gives them new life! I have been spraying the Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition on my face throughout the day as I work. It is the perfect refresher on my skin and gives me that little wake-up call when I am starting to get sluggish.View more of Paige’s work on her Instagram and website.

SUNDAY LANE’S CAITLYN EVERETT ON HER CREATIVE PROCESS
Author, illustrator and creative Caitlyn Everett is the brains behind Sunday Lane, a small Brisbane-based business that inspires us daily with its modern, whimsical zodiac illustrations and verses.In celebration of our latest Adriana Picker-designed limited-edition products – Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition and Jurlique Rose Luxe Edition Hand Cream – we spoke to Caitlyn about her own creative process and how she incorporates the products into her own daily routine.Tell us about your work and what you do?I am the owner of Sunday Lane, a store and studio that centres on modern-day poetry, or affirmation and inspired gifting. We are best known for our zodiac collection, a blend of verses of powerful musings and illustration. I am the dreamer behind the brand, an author, illustrator, creative.How did you get into this position?I was working full time for a beautiful small business, and I mean, I was working myself into the ground. I gave everything I had into my work and I honestly wasn't really looking or searching for more. Sunday Lane was born by chance, a personal project turned business idea and it wasn't until it began taking off that I became discontent. I feel like I got a taste of life as my own boss and I worked really hard at it before I felt like I could back myself and quit my job.Woman’s hand resting on magazine next to tube of Jurlique hand creamDescribe your process when it comes to your work - how do you tackle a new project?Every project I've worked on has been such a learning process for me. In the beginning it was all energy and excitement and I would work 18-hour days to get new designs out but having my son, Morgan has helped me slow down. I am also more aware of my brand, who we are and where we are heading now. Our most recent project, the Zodiac 03 collection, was months of planning and research, of illustrating and writing. We also brought on a local press studio, so we really had to accept and embrace the beauty of handmade. It was such a blessing to work with such a knowledgeable and talented artist on an artform completely out of my comfort zone.What challenges do you face in your work?My biggest challenge has been defining and enforcing a work/life balance. The reality of being a small business is that we are almost always working, in store, at home, at night and on weekends. It is very hard to switch off and part of me doesn't want to. It is my passion and I love to pour myself into my work. Having a young family has made me want to be able to switch off more.When you're experiencing a creative block, how do you get out of it?To get away from my screen and remove myself from the overstimulation of the online world. It is so easy to get caught up in it all. It's a never-ending rabbit hole.In my worst hours, or days of creative block the only thing that has helped is time, and moments away from work. My biggest lesson is that creativity comes in waves and it cannot be forced. If I trust the process, the magic will follow.Tube of Jurlique hand cream on plate next to gold rings What advice would you give to others who are looking to explore their creativity?Trust your gut and be prepared to put in the work.I dropped out of teaching to study interior design at college and in a roundabout way it got me to where I am today. If I hadn't taken the gigantic leap who knows where I would be. Of course, it is easier said than done and I was definitely someone that had a plan b. I think it is a little romantic to say I went into it with blind faith and just crossed my fingers it would work. I had a home and a family I needed to support. I worked really hard to make it my reality.Talk us through how you use your Jurlique products throughout your day?Everyone who knows me knows I am terrible with my skin care routine. Jurlique has been an absolute blessing and I've actually been carrying these products with me every day between our studio and the store. The Rosewater Balancing Mist Intense Deluxe Edition is such a low maintenance solution for someone who is time poor and both of these beauties have really helped bring me back to life after long nights preparing our new collections. They are the perfect addition to my very short morning and night routine.

8 OVERNIGHT BEAUTY TIPS FROM A SKIN CARE SPECIALIST
You don’t have to go to a spa or a salon to keep your skin, hands and feet looking their best. There are a few at-home treatments you can do in the evening that will give your skin that extra bit of TLC when it needs it most and the best thing is, you can leave them to do their work while you sleep. We asked Jurlique Education Specialist Danielle for her top overnight beauty tips – pair them with an at-home spa day for even more indulgence.1. Create your own sleeping mask. Massage our Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask into your skin at night in the place of your normal night cream 2-3 times a week for a ‘sleeping mask’ treatment. This will help deeply moisturise dry and dehydrated skin.2. Indulge in a nourishing hand treatment. Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask can also be used on your hands. Massage a layer all over your hands and put on cotton gloves before going to bed for the ultimate softening treatment for dry, chapped hands. This is amazing to get hands ready for the big day for brides or a special occasion where your hands will be on show - or just to restore moisture after lots of washing and sanitising!3. Look after your feet. Exfoliate dry skin on your feet with a pedi paddle or body exfoliant, then rinse away. Massage a generous amount of a body lotion such as our Softening Rose Body Cream into feet and heels and pop on socks before hopping into bed. Massage any excess on hands into knees and elbows. Do this nightly until feet and heels are smooth and soft and then continue twice a week to maintain.4. Apply a face oil. Massage skin with Skin Balancing Face Oil after applying your serum and before night cream prior to bed to restore a soft healthy glow to your skin. Avoid going too close to the eye area. Use slow, relaxing, upwards strokes to release tension. This is best done the night before your hair washing days.Jurlique Skin Balancing Face Oil next to green plant 5. Use an oil for nourishing lip treatment. Apply a layer of Skin Balancing Face Oil on dry lips prior to applying your evening moisturiser all over the face and neck. Lips will feel nourished and moisturised upon waking, and it also helps your lipstick glide on in the morning.6. Apply Jojoba Oil to your hair. If you have dry hair and a sensitive scalp, massage Jojoba Carrier Oil deeply into your scalp and through hair concentrating on the ends, leaving it on overnight. Wrap your hair or place a hand towel on your pillow to protect it. Wash out in the morning with Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner for amazing shine and softness. Repeat twice a week.7. Hydrate your skin. If your skin is feeling dehydrated, apply a very fine layer of Moisture Plus Rare Rose Gel Cream over your serum and under your usual moisturiser at night. Continue for 7 days for an intense hydration booster, then return to your normal skin care ritual.Jurlique Moisture Plus Rare Rose Gel Cream on white linen napkin t 8. Treat your breakouts. As soon as you notice a breakout beginning, massage a small amount of Purifying Mask over the affected area/lesion only and leave on overnight. In the morning, the breakout will be far less noticeable and should dissipate sooner.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FACE ESSENCES
Essences have been at the core of Korean skincare routines forever. And now, the K-Beauty trend has made its way into shelves around the world. But what is an essence exactly, and how can it take your skin to the next level? We answer all your questions in our guide to skin care essences – and why they’re a staple in the Jurlique skin care ritual.What is an essence?An essence is a hybrid between a toner and a serum, hydrating and prepping the skin for the rest of your skin care ritual. They have a fluid, lightweight and almost watery texture, and have a low molecular weight which means they can penetrate the layers of the skin. You’ll know a good essence by the hydrating ingredients it contains – look for high concentrations of antioxidants and botanicals.The benefits of using an essenceSkin needs to be damp for skin care products to be absorbed. This is what an essence does – it hydrates and conditions the skin to prepare it for the serums, oils and moisturisers to follow. Not only that, but essences balance and nourish the skin after cleansing and toning. With regular use, you’ll soon be able to see the visible benefits, as essences revitalise the skin, and smooth and brighten the complexion.Are essences suitable for all skin types?In a word – yes. There are different types of skin essence, with some formulated for all skin types, and others that address specific skin concerns like dullness or uneven skin tone, but they’ll suit everyone. The lightweight texture of essences is ideal for oily skin, while their super-hydrating formulas make them especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Most people are susceptible to dry skin at some point, though, so essences should form a part of everyone’s skin care ritual.How to apply an essenceUse your essence morning and night, after your toning mist and before your serum. Pour a couple of drops into the palm of your hands (don’t use a cotton pad – it will waste the product and your hands are much more effective) and gently press into your face, neck and décolletage.Why we created the Activating Water EssenceOur Activating Water Essence is an essential part of our skin care ritual.

5 REASONS TO USE ACTIVATING WATER ESSENCE
Essences are exploding in the skin care world – and for good reason. Essences are fluid formulas that hydrate and nourish the skin and prime it for serums (for an in-depth look into face essences, read our guide here. At Jurlique, we swear by our Activating Water Essence – it’s at the very heart of the Jurlique skin care ritual and is our secret to clear, smooth skin. Here are five reasons why you should start using it on the regular.It deeply hydrates the skinActivating Water Essence is formulated to continuously hydrate the skin. It contains emollients and high-performing botanical extracts to attract and hold water for a smoother, softer and healthier-looking complexion. In other words, it improves the skin’s barrier and activates its ability to retain moisture. When skin is hydrated, it can better protect itself, as well as absorb other skin care products more effectively. When we gave it to 52 women aged 25 to 50 to try for 14 days, 88% said their skin felt continuously hydrated.It makes your skin care work harderWant to get the most out of your skin care? As a hydration booster, Activating Water Essence could be the answer. It primes your skin and helps the skin care products you apply afterwards (namely, your serum and moisturiser) to penetrate into the layers of your skin. Think of your skin like a sponge. Anything you put on top of a dry sponge will just sit there, but a damp one will absorb it. Your skin is just the same.It smooths and softens the complexionThe lightweight formula of Activating Water Essence is infused with nutrients to smooth, soften and condition the skin. It features Marshmallow Root extract (which is super-hydrating and soothing), as well as botanicals grown on the Jurlique Farm – Calendula, Neem, Lavender, Rosemary, Horsetail, Witch Hazel, Nettle and Peach Leaf extract – that work together to activate and soothe the skin. Skin is left balanced, feeling revitalised and comfortable.It renews and revitalises the skinWith our skin exposed to (and battling) elements throughout the day, we need a little help to reenergise it. That’s where Activating Water Essence comes in – the inclusion of Peach Leaf extract in the formula adds radiance back to the skin. It also works to boost skin for a smoother, brighter and healthier-looking complexion (hello, smooth and glowing skin).It’s suitable for all skin typesSkin care for all skin types can be hard to find but Activating Water Essence ticks all the right boxes. Everyone goes through dry or dehydrated skin stages (we’ve got air conditioning, sun exposure and the general ageing process to thank for that) and thanks to Activating Water Essence having a lightweight and gentle formula, it’s ideal for all skin types – including oily skin. Use your Activating Water Essence morning and night after cleansing and toning, and before your serum. To apply, pour a couple of drops into your palms and press gently onto the face, neck and décolletage.Discover hydrated skin for yourself by shopping our Activating Water Essence here.

GUIDE TO MULTI-MASKING
We all know what face masks are. Slathering your face is one is a top-tier self-care moment. But why limit ourselves to applying just one when we can prolong that luxurious feeling while also combating different skin concerns by multi-masking?What is multi-masking?More often than not, your skin is doing different things in different areas. You could have oiliness in your t-zone, dehydration in your cheek area and dull skin everywhere else. Multi-masking is exactly as it sounds, it’s using different face masks in different areas of your face at the same time to target those specific concerns.Mask 1: Congested SkinUsually when your skin is congested, it tends to look tired and dull. You’ll find this happens around the t-zone area (forehead, nose and chin). Apply a mask that has a clay ingredient to that area. Our National Education Specialist, Lindsay Adam, says that Green Clay “assists with clearing out the skin of any impurities and breakouts in the t-zone area”. We recommend using our Intense Recovery Mask which is formulated with a base of naturally sourced Green Clay that absorbs impurities and rebalances. It also includes a blend of our farm grown botanical extracts, including Rose Gallica and Chamomile to help restore radiance to your skin once it has been decongested.Mask 2: Sensitive SkinSoothe any redness or irritation on your cheeks with a calming mask. If you have dry or sensitive cheeks, the last thing you’ll want to do is apply something that dries that area out. Our Nurturing Mask will do the trick! Enriched with nourishing plant-based oils including Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil any signs of redness will be reduced leaving your skin feeling soothed and comforted.Mask 3: HydrationPlump and hydrated skin is always the goal. Once you’ve applied and rinsed off your purifying mask in your t-zone and calming mask on your cheeks, you’ll want to bring back moisture to your skin - something your skin will drink up right away. Apply our Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask to your entire face as an intensive overnight treatment. Made with Rose Oil and Shea Butter, it’ll help address visible signs of dehydration, brighten your skin and improve its overall texture. You’ll wake up with more supple and firm looking skin.Hot Tips:If you can’t hop into the shower to rinse off the masks, Lindsay recommends using a wet facial cloth.You know what your skin’s concerns are best, so before you multi-mask, take the time to figure out what each area really needs before applying. You don’t want to apply an astringent mask to your cheeks if they’re sensitive as it’ll exacerbate the problem. Same with applying hydrating products over congested skin – it’ll only make it worse.Don’t neglect your neck and the sides of our mouth. Apply your hydrating mask to this area fill out any lines and creases.Find multi-masking daunting? You can start with the basic and learn the benefits of using a face mask here.
