FIVE REASONS TO USE A BODY OIL

FIVE 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 SKINFirst 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 SKINWhen 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. While our Lemon Body Oil is a revitalizing option for getting yourself going in the morning, you may wish to choose something relaxing and soothing like our Lavender Body Oil as you wind down before bedtime.3. BODY OILS ARE AN ECONOMICAL CHOICEA 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 SKINNatural, 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 PRODUCTSMaybe 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.

WHO IS THE MOST INSPIRING WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE?

WHO IS THE MOST INSPIRING WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE?

To celebrate International Women's Day this year, we asked our Jurlique team to tell us who are the most inspiring women in their lives. Here are just some of our favorite responses. ROSEMARY RAE - GLOBAL LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST "The most inspiring woman in my world is my mum Grace. She was one of the first female truck drivers in Australia in the late 60s, early 70s. From her I learnt courage, commitment and resilience."   CHERIE HUTCHINSON - FARM PRODUCTION MANAGER "My friends inspire me. I am surrounded by some really strong positive women. We look out for one another, we have a barrel of laughs and we’re also there for each other in the bad times too. Life can be tough sometimes and having women around you that support you and want to see the best for you is fantastic. More importantly is, they’re authentically themselves and that’s something I absolutely encourage all women to be." REBECCA NICHOLLS - GLOBAL LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST "The most inspiring woman in my world is my 97 year old grandmother Violet. She is an inspiration to me for her positivity and optimism and being brave to tackle anything. As an only grandchild I spent many hours with nana while I was growing up and the love, kindness and fun we shared together are some of my fondest memories. I moved to Sydney from England 30 years ago and missed our time together so much. When she was 91 she embraced the opportunity for us to be together again and emigrated to Australia with my parents. I now get to see her whenever I want to and I am always amazed by her positivity and optimism at starting a new life across the other side of the world in her 90s. I love you nana."

MOTHER'S DAY Q & A WITH COURTNEY ADAMO

MOTHER'S DAY Q & A WITH COURTNEY ADAMO

As a mother, what does a regular morning look like in the Adamo house? I suppose that depends on what time you’re talking about! If you showed up to our house before 8am, you’d find a hive of activity: five kids eating breakfast, taking turns in the shower, getting dressed, searching for shoes and backpacks, and trying to get to the school bus on time and two parents juggling tasks, making breakfast, packing lunchboxes, yelling out reminders to children, and trying to get kids out of the house on time! If you showed up after 8am, it would be a lot less noisy here — I’d probably be cleaning up the kitchen, finishing my coffee, doing a load of laundry, taking a shower and getting ready to sit down to my laptop by 9:30ish. You are the eldest of 5 yourself, what was your childhood like? My childhood was really idyllic, and the older I get, the more I realise how lucky we were to be raised that way. I grew up on a farm near the sea, and my siblings and I spent most of our time outside and in nature. I had both sets of grandparents living nearby, and my father was one of ten children, so I was surrounded by loads of cousins, aunts and uncles. My parents were really loving, but also quite strict about manners and chores. We were kept busy doing tasks around the farm, but we were also given the freedom to explore and be adventurous. I spent a lot of time with my siblings, but when I wanted to be alone, I could just hop on my horse and ride around the fields behind our house. How has your upbringing influenced the way you now raise your children? I always joke that having come from a big, crazy family, the chaos in our home feels quite normal. I guess my upbringing prepared me for this. I’m also really close with my parents and my siblings, and have always wanted to raise a close-knit family as well. I remind my kids all the time how lucky they are to have each other, and we place a lot of value on family time together. I also try to make sure my kids have a lot of unscheduled, unstructured time — so that they can just be bored and play and create their own adventures. What’s your favourite way to connect to Nature? Was it something that your parents passed on to you or did you learn it later? Growing up, we lived near the sea, but not the ocean. The water was freezing cold and the beaches were rocky and wild. We spent lots of time at the beach and swimming in that frigid water, but unfortunately there were no waves to surf (and you would have needed a thick wetsuit to stay in that water for long). Now that we live here in Byron with mild water and perfect surfing waves, I have learned to surf, and I really love it. It’s such a wonderful way to connect with nature, to calm your mind, and to get a bit of exercise. I love surfing with my kids, of course, but I also really love just being out there by myself, sitting on my board, watching the waves, and feeling so present. You recently celebrated your 40th birthday, Happy birthday! Looking back what are some of your proudest and fondest moments? and let’s get real, what are some of the challenges and learning you have faced as a mother? Thank you! (I still can’t believe I’m 40! I still feel like I’m 22!) I’m actually really enjoying growing up. It’s a beautiful thing to get to know yourself as you age, to find compassion for others, and to arrive at a place where you feel comfortable in your skin. In terms of fond moments, we spent a year traveling around the world 5 years ago, and that was honestly the happiest year of my life. We have so many incredible memories from that trip, and came away feeling so connected as a family. Also, of course, the births of all of my children — especially welcoming our fifth baby, Wilkie, at home with all the other kids there in the room. It was a pretty magical moment. We’ve also had our share of challenges too, of course. Wilkie was a surprise baby, and I think Michael and I both found it difficult to go back to the baby stage after we thought we were on the other end of it. He was a particularly challenging baby and toddler too — we never had tantrums with our first four, but then Wilkie came and made sure we had our fair share of tantrums! Like every other mother on the planet, I found last year quite challenging with Covid lockdown and the intense juggle of work and motherhood and homeschooling and toddler tantrums and teenage angst. As a mother, what do you wish for your children? I think I probably echo every other mother when I say that the thing I wish for the most for my children is health and happiness. It sounds so simple and basic, but it’s really all you need in life. Of course I also hope they are kind and compassionate, honest and fair. I hope they are as interested in others as they are interesting. And I hope they honour who they really are and follow their very own path. Do you have wellness or beauty rituals that you do daily to promote your inner beauty, practical things to take care of your skin, body and mind amidst the chaos of mum life? As a family, we put a lot of thought and attention into the food we eat. My husband does most of the cooking, and he’s a really good cook. We eat a vegetarian diet and we try to eat organically and as locally as possible. My husband and I also try to squeeze in yoga and pilates together a couple of times a week, and of course simply being out in nature, being at the beach, swimming and surfing in the ocean — this in itself is a wellness ritual! Personally, I have been using the Jurlique products for nearly a year now, and I really love the products and love how it’s changed my bedtime skincare routine. Just taking the extra five minutes to care for myself before hopping into bed is a moment of self-care that I appreciate more than ever. For all the mums out there, can you please share a simple delicious recipe that you would want your children to prepare for you on Mother’s Day. Here’s a super simple, kid-friendly recipe for the most yummy blueberry muffins! Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins: -1/4 cup (55 grams) of butter at room temp. -3/4 cup of sugar -2 eggs -1 ¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons of sifted flour -1/2 tsp. baking soda -1/2 tsp. salt -3/4 cup of sour cream (or créme fraiche) -1-2 cups of blueberries -1/2 tsp. vanilla extract or paste Preheat oven to 230°C and line a muffin tin with paper or foil liners. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Sift flour, soda and salt together, and add to butter mixture alternatively with the sour cream. Gently fold in berries and vanilla. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. (Makes 12 muffins).

IS ALL YOUR EXTRA SCREEN TIME DAMAGING YOUR SKIN?

IS ALL YOUR EXTRA SCREEN TIME DAMAGING YOUR SKIN?

Zoom calls, emails, endless scrolling through social media and news updates…it’s no secret that a lot of us spend far too much time in front of a screen – and now more than ever. Personal preferences of whether you’re a digital native or a technophobe aside, this extra screen time could be having damaging effects on the skin…and actually lead to premature ageing, all because of the blue light that emanates from digital devices.What is blue light?Blue light is a range of the visible light spectrum, defined as having a wavelength between 400−525 nanometers. It accounts for 50% of the sunlight spectrum and is the only part of light that is visible to the naked eye. Most of our blue light exposure comes from the sun, but it also emanates from your smartphone, computers and TV screens. We’re all aware of the damaging effects of UV rays and the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect our skin but exposure to blue light can also be harmful – especially given our close proximity to smartphones and laptops.How blue light affects skinBlue light promotes stressors in skin that can cause photo-ageing; that is, ageing from exposure to light. Long-term blue light exposure can cause skin damage, including discolouration, inflammation, and weakening of the skin’s surface.How to protect your skin from harmful blue lightAs with most things health-related in life, protecting your skin from harmful blue light starts from within, with a diet rich in antioxidants (blueberries, strawberries, kale and artichokes are all good sources) and fatty acids to reduce and protect against inflammation. Topically, you can also add skin care products into your ritual that contain antioxidants, to prevent harmful free radicals and inflammation generated by light pollution. Our Rosewater Balancing Mist is not only hydrating for the skin, but it contains our exclusive Jurlique Rose extract which is a powerful antioxidant.Our iconic Herbal Recovery range is packed full of antioxidants, containing extracts of Viola Tricolor, Nasturtium, and Yarrow, that help to hydrate your skin naturally, leaving you with skin that is soft, smooth, and revitalised.

WHAT IS EYE SERUM AND HOW DO I USE ONE?

WHAT IS EYE SERUM AND HOW DO I USE ONE?

 Gels, cream, serums, lotions…there’s a whole host of skin care products out there and unless you’re a fan of the 12-step routine, adding another product to your ritual can sometimes feel like another one too many. But there’s one skin care product that’s worthy of taking up prime real estate on your bathroom shelf: the eye serum. Chances are you’ve heard of face serums and already use one or two on rotation to target your skin concerns. But are you using a specific serum for the under-eye area? The skin around our eyes is thinner and more fragile than the skin on the rest of our face so it needs care, attention and specially formulated products. If you’re struggling with under eye bags, puffy eyes or wrinkles and you feel as though you need an extra boost to this area, an eye serum is the perfect addition to your skin care ritual.What is an eye serum?Like a face serum, the difference between eye serum and eye cream lies in the texture and formula. Eye serums are lighter in texture to an eye cream or gel and are highly concentrated, delivering intense hydration to help repair the skin around the eyes. An eye cream, however, seals in moisture and all the benefits of the products used before it, as well as protects the skin from environmental aggressors. And like face serums are applied before your moisturiser, eye serums are applied before your eye cream as they can penetrate deeper into the skin.Red bottle of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum next to white necklaceBenefits of using an eye serumDo eye serums really work? In a word, yes. An eye serum is so much more than an extra step. Depending on how the product is formulated, eye serums can: Hydrate and firm the skin around the eyes Minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines Reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes Restore and a radiant and youthful appearance. Of course, at Jurlique we believe that products formulated with quality, natural ingredients deliver the best results to the skin – and the same goes for eye serums. Our Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum is rich in farm grown, age-defying botanicals and natural antioxidants such as Viola Tricolor extract, Yarrow extract and Japanese Cedar Bud extract, which help to re-energise and protect the eye area. Signs of fatigue are minimised, skin feels firmer and more energised, and looks more even in tone. Don’t just take our word for it – 96% of users who tried Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum for 56 days said their skin around the eye area felt replenished and hydrated*.How to use an eye serumEvery good skin care ritual starts with cleansing the skin before applying a hydrating mist and face essence, such as Activating Water Essence. Apply your face serum as usual, then apply one pump of Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum to the fingertips and gently dab it around the eyes, morning and night.The eye serum can be used on its own but for the best results, apply a nourishing eye gel or cream on top, such as Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Cream. The thicker layer of the eye cream will help seal in moisture and protect the skin against daily aggressors.Transform your skin with Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Serum or shop all eye care at Jurlique.

5 REASONS TO USE A BODY EXFOLIATOR

5 REASONS TO USE A BODY EXFOLIATOR

Face scrubs make up an important part of a lot of people’s skin care rituals, thanks to their ability to revitalise the skin, restore your natural glow and help fight signs of ageing. But is a body exfoliator also part of your routine? Just like face scrubs, a good body scrub can help you achieve smooth, even skin and reveal your best skin yet (perfect for summer when you’re showing a little more skin – and winter, when your body is probably in need of a bit more TLC). Read on for everything you need to know about exfoliation and how to choose the best body scrub for glowing skin (if you’re curious about face exfoliators, read our go-to guide here). 5 benefits of body exfoliation 1. Reveals radiant skin Just like we have dead surface skin cells on our face, the same goes for our body. Exfoliation thoroughly clears away those dead surface skin cells, revealing that refreshed, radiant and smooth skin underneath. 2. Smooths bumpy skin Ever notice your skin feeling a bit bumpy? Exfoliating regularly helps smooth bumpy skin and clean out impurities – as well as help reduce the appearance of dark spots. 3. Boosts circulation The best way to exfoliate your body is by using a circular action and applying light pressure. This can help to boost circulation as you increase the blood flow to the skin’s surface. This also promotes skin cell regeneration. 4. Helps hydrate skin When dead surface skin cells are left to build up, it can cause your skin to become dry, and your body lotions and creams will have to work harder to penetrate the layers of the skin they’re trying to reach. By exfoliating and sloughing those dead surface skin cells away, your body care has a better chance of absorbing into the skin fully. 5. Relaxes the body and mind Our skin is our body’s largest organ, so it should be given as much care and attention as we give to our internal health. Using a body scrub in the shower means you’ll be giving your body a gentle massage and is a great excuse for some quality ‘me time’ (not that we think you ever need an excuse…). How to use a body scrub It’s best to leave your skin to soften in a lukewarm shower for a few minutes before applying your scrub. Gently massage the scrub into your skin in circular motions (be careful not to scrub too hard as this could irritate the skin) and focus on areas where your skin is driest. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a hydrating lotion or oil such as our Softening Body Lotion Rose or Rose Body Oil. How many times should you exfoliate your body? Exfoliating frequency depends on your skin type. Those with sensitive and dry skin will benefit from using a body scrub once a week, while those with oilier skin might benefit from exfoliating three times a week. Start off using one once a week and building up your frequency over time, if you wish. How to choose a body scrub For the best results, choose a natural body scrub made with ingredients that will gently remove dead surface skin cells without irritating the skin. Our Smoothing Body Exfoliating Gel contains Walnut Shell powder to gently but thoroughly lift away dead surface skin cells and impurities, as well as hydrating Rosa gallica flower extract and herbal antioxidants to leave the skin feeling cleansed, soft, smooth and more radiant. Body exfoliation is an essential step to achieve smooth, glowing skin. Explore our range of Body products now, or visit our blog for more skin care and body care tips.

GEL VS CREAM VS LOTION: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOISTURISER TEXTURES

GEL VS CREAM VS LOTION: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOISTURISER TEXTURES

We all know that a good moisturiser plays a vital role in every skin care ritual. They seal in hydration, improve the skin’s protective barrier and lock in the benefits of the products you’ve used before it. But not all moisturisers are the same. Between gels, creams and lotions, knowing which types of moisturiser are right for your lifestyle, and best suited to you and your skin concerns, can be difficult. Here’s our ultimate guide to the different textures and how to pick the right moisturiser for you. Cream This is the one we probably all recognise – and use – the most. Moisturising creams tend to be thick and deliver intense hydration to the skin. They work by forming a protective moisture barrier that shields your skin from environmental aggressors and moisture loss, giving it time to recover and replenish itself. Most creams are best suited to dry skin, or skin that needs some extra TLC if it’s been exposed to extreme environmental conditions such as heat and snow. Our Moisture Plus Rare Rose Cream releases moisture over 24 hours via the micro-encapsulated Jurlique Rose extract, and contains Cupuacu Butter to restore moisture in drier skins. Lotions Moisturising lotions are lighter than creams but tend to be richer and heavier than gels, making them best suited to those with dry or combination skin types, or people living in dry, cool climates. Lotions sink into the skin quickly without leaving a film, making them an ideal option for daytime wear under makeup. If you have sensitive skin, look for a lotion that’s infused with botanical extract that can soothe and comfort your skin, like our Moisture Plus Rare Rose Lotion, in addition to protecting it from environmental aggressors. Gels Gel moisturisers have a lightweight formula without compromising on performance. They offer oil-free hydration that works well for combination or oily skin types, or for other skin types during warmer months and humid weather. Gels can also help rebalance skin moisture levels and leave skin looking fresh, supple and dewy. Our Moisture Plus Rare Rose Gel Cream has a super-light texture that doesn’t overload the skin and contains plant resin Mastic Gum to prevent oiliness. Find the right moisturiser for your skin type and concern online at Jurlique. For personalised advice, head to your nearest Jurlique store or book a complimentary virtual skin care consultation with one of our Beauty Experts. FAQs Do you need both lotion and cream? It depends on your skin and the season. A lotion moisturiser has a lighter texture that absorbs quickly, ideal for daytime use or warmer climates. A cream moisturiser is richer, perfect for nighttime or cooler months when skin needs extra nourishment. Using both can keep your complexion balanced throughout the year. Explore our moisturisers to find your preferred texture. Which goes first, lotion or cream?  When layering, apply lotion first. Its fluid texture sinks in easily, allowing your cream to seal in hydration. This approach helps replenish drier areas while keeping oilier zones fresh and comfortable. Is lotion considered a cream? Not quite. The cream or lotion distinction lies in consistency and composition. Lotions contain more water, creating a lightweight finish that suits most skin types. Creams have a higher oil content, forming a soft protective layer that helps lock in moisture. Which is better, gel or lotion? That depends on what your skin craves. A gel vs lotion comparison comes down to texture and feel. Gels are cooling and weightless—perfect for combination or oil-prone skin. Lotions are silky yet hydrating, suited to those seeking a little more moisture. Explore our face collection to find what feels right for you. Which one is better, gel or cream? In the gel vs cream question, it’s all about balance. Gels refresh and absorb quickly, leaving skin smooth and shine-free. Creams are rich and condition, ideal for drier or more mature skin that needs replenishment. Do gels or creams work better? Both deliver results—it’s simply about texture preference. Gels quench and cool; creams comfort and soften. You might find your skin benefits from alternating textures as the climate or your needs change. Is body cream the same as lotion? There’s a subtle lotion moisturiser difference when used on the body. Body creams are denser and nourishing, while body lotions are lightweight and absorb in seconds. Both support softer, smoother skin. Discover more in our body collection. What is lotion? A lotion is a fluid moisturiser formulated with a higher water content than creams. It delivers hydration without heaviness, leaving skin feeling refreshed and comfortable. To learn more about what works best for you, connect with our team via contact.

WHY AFTER-SUN CARE IS SO IMPORTANT

WHY AFTER-SUN CARE IS SO IMPORTANT

We all know how important it is to protect our skin from the sun. But what about the role of after-sun care? It gets far less attention – but it’s essential to healthy skin.There’s no doubt spending time in the sun can be great for your wellbeing. But if that little bit of sun becomes too much, a whole slew of skin problems can result – from wrinkles and premature skin ageing, to hyperpigmentation.And while using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is vital, we shouldn’t rely on sunscreen alone to give our skin all the protection and care it needs from the sun, said Jurlique’s Ultimate Beauty Expert, Rebecca Nicholls.“Sunscreen works by filtering UV radiation with a barrier that absorbs and/or reflects the UV rays away from the skin,” she explained. “The higher the SPF and PA ratings, the smaller the amount of UV radiation getting through.“But no sunscreen can provide 100% protection from UV radiation. And what does get through accumulates, and may lead to sunburn if you stay out in the direct sun for too long.”What’s more, you don’t necessarily have to be sunburnt to suffer long-term damage. “Tanning is your skin cells in trauma. Even a light tan is a sign you’ve been exposed to too much sun.”This is why Jurlique decided to include an after-sun product in its new Sun Specialist skin care range, Rebecca explained.“Post-sun treatment is essential in helping to prevent today’s sun exposure from becoming tomorrow’s visible damage,” she said. “Our After Sun Replenishing Moisturising Lotion is designed to help comfort the skin and replenish moisture loss due to excess sun exposure.”HOW TO GIVE YOUR SKIN THE AFTER-SUN CARE IT NEEDSTake a cool shower or bath. This will help soothe your skin and prepare it for Step two.Apply a nourishing and comforting after-sun lotion. “After Sun Replenishing Moisturising Lotion to help keep your skin moist and supple, ” Rebecca said. “Its natural ingredients will also help protect your skin, and soothe the effects of overexposure to the sun.”Give your skin time to recover. Avoid using harsh or irritating cleansers or treatments for at least the next few days. And if you can, delay waxing or shaving until your skin has healed.Protect your skin from further sun exposure. It’s never a good idea to expose already damaged skin to more sun. Try using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that also deeply moisturises your skin, such as our Sun Specialist SPF40 High Protection Cream PA+++.Shop the Story: Sun Specialist Range
