WELLNESS MADE EASY: YOUR CHEAT SHEET
In the whirlwind of the daily hustle, finding the time to prioritise our wellness journey can sometimes feel challenging. But by introducing a few small changes and embracing a perfectly imperfect wellness routine, we can unlock the gateway to a happier, healthier version of ourselves. Let's dive into some practical tips and tricks to kickstart your realistic (and achievable!) wellness journey. FOOD When our schedules fill up, what we eat can sometimes take a backseat, but fuelling your body with nourishing food doesn't have to be a challenge. Often, a little preparation can go a long way. Planning ahead of time and cooking meals that can feed you over multiple days can save time and keep you on track with your health goals. Think batches of overnight oats, nutritious soups and delicious curries. Focus on incorporating whole, nutrient-dense foods into your meals and opt for colourful vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates. EXERCISE Squeezing in a rigorous workout may seem daunting, especially with a packed schedule. Keep it simple and kickstart your exercise routine by focusing on movement that brings you joy, whether it's a brisk walk around the neighbourhood, an at-home workout, a dance class, or a short yoga session. Consistency is key, so start small and gradually build up. The goal is not perfection but the integration of movement into your daily routine. Fitness apps are a great way to make exercise more fun and keep you on track. ENERGY BOOSTERS While coffee is a staple for many, consider swapping it out for tasty matcha. This green tea alternative provides a slower release of caffeine, avoiding the highs and lows associated with coffee. The sustained energy boost from matcha allows for increased focus without the jitters. It's a small but impactful change that can positively influence your daily productivity and mood. Nothing impacts our energy levels more than sleep, so try your best to establish a relaxing bedtime routine, limit screen time before sleep, and create a cosy sleep environment. Even in the midst of the daily grind, find pockets of time for deep breaths or a quick 5-minute meditation. HYDRATION Water is a multitasker, aiding digestion, nutrient absorption, and transporting essential elements throughout the body. It is also great for our skin! Keep those hydration levels high by purchasing a refillable water bottle and carrying it around like it's your sidekick. Natural, sugar-free electrolyte powders can be mixed with water, providing hydration and essential minerals. And for those looking to cut down on sodas, get your fizzy fix by adding a squeeze of lime to soda water for a refreshing drink. SKINCARE Skincare is a form of self-care and an important addition to any wellness routine, but finding the time to give your skin a bit of self-care can always be a challenge! If you are short on time, use 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ and 2 drops of your favourite Jurlique Face Oil for a quick and easy ritual that will leave your skin softened, refreshed and hydrated. Embarking on a wellness journey doesn't have to be overwhelming. By incorporating these simple tips into your daily routine, you can kickstart a realistic and sustainable daily ritual that aligns with your busy lifestyle. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection.

WHY YOU SHOULD DOUBLE CLEANSE YOUR SKIN
In recent times, many beauty publications have touted double cleansing as a major breakthrough in skin care. If you’re thinking about jumping on the double cleansing bandwagon, wondering how double cleansing differs from regular cleansing or what the real skin benefits are, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to discover the answer to your questions and more. What is double cleansing? Double cleansing, like many of our now ingrained skin care methods, originated in South Korea and Japan. Essentially, double cleansing is cleansing your skin twice. A technique that involves using two different types of cleansers after one another to deeply remove all traces of makeup, sunscreen, sweat and other surface debris from your face. What are the benefits of double cleansing? 1. While cleansing your skin twice doesn’t sound like the kind of party your skin wants to attend because of the “stripping” nature of cleansing, double cleansing really gets to work and ensures that you remove every last bit of surface debris, dead skin cells and impurities that can cause skin break outs, inflammation and irritation.2. Using two different types of products to double cleanse (we’ll hash this out in a moment) means that you’re not only removing surface build-up and gunk, but you’re also getting deep down into your pores to remove pollutants – making your cleansing ritual far more effective.3. If you wear makeup daily, then this one’s for you. Double cleansing helps break down your makeup so that you’re not scrubbing at your skin or using an excess of harsh makeup wipes. There’s no more dreading removing your makeup after a long day.4. As a result of effectively cleaning your pores, another benefit is an overall more radiant, less congested, even skin tone. Clarified pores = healthier looking skin. Double cleansing method Here’s the fun part. In order to double cleanse, all you need is: an oil cleanser, a muslin cloth or face towel, and a cream, lotion, gel or foam cleanser that suits your skin type. Once you’ve got all your tools, follow the steps below:1. Massage 2-3 pumps of your oil cleanser (we recommend our Nourishing Cleansing Oil) onto dry skin including the eye area using circular motions.2. Next you can either wet your muslin cloth, face cloth or face towel with warm water, wring out the excess water and then place the cloth onto your face gently to swipe away the product. Or as you add warm water to the Nourishing Cleansing Oil once applied - on contact with water - the oil transforms into a rich cleansing milk that hydrates and softens the skin as it removes makeup including waterproof mascara, excess oil, pollution and impurities.3. After rinsing/swiping away the emulsified oil, it’s time to cleanse with your regular cream, lotion, gel or foam cleanser and rinse off as normal. Choosing a second cleanser As always, be sure to choose a cleanser that suits your skin type. Keep in mind with double cleansing, your regular cleansing product isn’t doing all the work alone. Gentle cleansing products will suffice and reduce any unnecessary stripping of your skin. Here are our recommendations:Dry skin:If you have dry and sensitive skin, go for our Replenishing Cleansing Lotion. It calms and conditions the skin. Featuring Marshmallow Root and Calendula Extracts, your skin will be clean and soothed.Mature skin:Go for an anti-ageing cleanser like our Nutri-Define Supreme Cleansing Foam for mature skin. With its rich and luxurious texture, it’ll be a treat for your skin after your oil cleanser step as jojoba beads gently exfoliate to reveal a youthfully luminous complexion.Blemish prone skin:Blemish prone skin is also usually associated with oily skin. So, you want something that balances the skin. Our Revitalising Cleansing Gel is perfect as its key ingredients of Peppermint Leaf Extract and Rosemary Leaf Extract soothe the skin while rebalancing oiliness.Combination skin:Combination skin needs to be simultaneously hydrated and balanced. Our Radiant Skin Foaming Cleanser is perfect for all skin types and is the go-to for combination skin. A powerful blend of antioxidant-rich botanicals leaves skin thoroughly cleansed and protected, but not dry or tight. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to double cleanse in the morning?Yes! You might think your skin is clean enough from the night before, but your skin still produces grime and sweat while you sleep. By double cleansing, you’re creating a clean slate for your morning skin care and/or makeup routine.Will double cleansing make my skin oiler?No. While oil cleansers are made from oils, they don’t necessarily add more oil to your face. The purpose of oil cleanser is to lift away skin surface debris – this includes excess oil. This means your skin balances out and the production of oil and on your skin rebalances itself. Also, if you follow up with your regular cleanser, the oil cleaner washes away and doesn’t remain on your skin.Can I use coconut oil or olive as an oil cleanser?It would be great to cost-wise. However, coconut oil and olive oil are comedogenic. Meaning they clog your pores instead of cleaning them. Unlike our Nourishing Cleansing Oil which emulsifies, other oils don’t combine with water so they end up sitting on top of your skin. Cleansing oils are specifically designed to cleanse your skin, so it’s safer to steer clear of coconut and olive oil to cleanse.Double cleansing is a relatively straight forward skin care technique that really gives you noticeable results and improves the effectiveness of the products in your skin care ritual.

JOURNEY TO THE JAR: THE STORY OF OUR ROSE
You might call the Rose “queen of the botanicals”, such is its popularity and regard. Our particular matriarch is the species Rosa gallica. Nine varieties of Rosa gallica grow on our organic farm in the Adelaide hills of South Australia, their blooms spanning a spectrum of shades, but their properties and intoxicating scent identical. This is the story of the queen of botanicals and her journey from first planting to taking centre stage in our nourishing skin care. Step 1 | South Australian provenance Adelaide is the Rose capital of Australia, thanks in large part to its climate – hot in summer and with plenty of rain throughout winter – which is ideal for growing Roses. Nutrient-rich soil and pure, unpolluted air are some of the most important qualities of our farm and to capitalise on this pristine environment, we follow organic growing methods, keeping the farm free from synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and insecticides. Step 2 | Plant partners Planting is meticulously planned so that all our botanicals can work symbiotically to protect each other from harm. Our Roses are planted beside Yarrow, which nourishes and protects them from predatory insects. Step 3 | Hand-picking petals Harvesting begins in November each year, and our Roses are gently picked by hand when at their peak. Between November and February, we harvest 30 to 60 kilograms of Rose petals each week. Some weeks, when we’ve had particularly good weather, the Roses grow extra quickly and we can harvest up to 100 kilograms of petals per week. Step 4 | Next comes drying The Rose petals are laid flat on large racks and placed in our heated drying cupboards for five to six days. The dried petals can be stored for up to three years without diminishing their active ingredients. Rose is a key ingredient in many of our products, so it’s important that we always have a continuous supply. Step 5 | Extracting the nutrients To unlock the nutrients within the Rose, each petal goes through our exclusive extraction process. This proprietary process captures the pure, potent and active essential nutrients and minerals from the plants. This precious Rose extract is then transported to our nearby Natural Beauty Plant, which was developed in line with our culture of sustainability. Step 6 | The products you love Here at the Natural Beauty Plant, the Rosa gallica extract becomes the hero ingredient in many of our most loved products, including our bestselling Rare Rose Lotion and Rose Hand Cream. As well as imparting its divine scent, this botanical beauty helps hydrate dry skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple.
