HOW TO NATURALLY LIFT AND TIGHTEN FACE & NECK SKIN
As we age, our bodies and faces naturally begin to change. You may notice that the once-tight skin around your eyes, mouth, jawline and neck has begun to lose its youthful firmness — that’s perfectly normal. The good news is that there are steps you can take to age gracefully and maintain firmer skin as you do. In this guide, we take a look at what causes saggy skin, how you can prevent it and face and skin tightening treatments that can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance. What Causes Sagging Skin? Loose or sagging skin occurs when skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to a drooping or wrinkled appearance. Several factors can cause saggy skin, including: Ageing As skin ages, it naturally produces less collagen and elastin, two important proteins responsible for structural support and elasticity. Research shows that after age 20, the dermis produces about 1% less collagen each year. Over time, this loss adds up, and your skin loses its structural integrity, leaving you with a sagging face. Years of Sun Exposure Years of sun exposure can take a toll on your skin, especially if you skimp on sunscreen. Prolonged sun exposure breaks down collagen and elastin fibres, which can exacerbate sagging and cause wrinkles to appear earlier than anticipated. Weight Loss Losing weight can be a bittersweet win for your skin. If you drop a significant amount, like 45 kg or more, you might find it tough for your skin to bounce back. As we get older, our skin naturally loses some of its elasticity, which definitely doesn’t make things easier after a major weight loss. Illness and Medical Conditions Some medical conditions can make the skin saggy. One such condition is granulomatous slack skin, a rare subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. How to Tighten Skin Naturally If you’ve noticed a bit of sagging around your face and neck, there are things you can do to help firm it up. Firming Skincare Products A daily skincare routine with creams and serums specifically targeting a loss of volume can help tighten skin on face. Look for products containing peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinoids, niacinamide and vitamin C to help boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Our Age-Defying Skincare Range is packed with youth-restoring botanicals like spilanthes flower, horseradish root, rock samphire, tara fruit, red algae extracts and naturally derived forms of hyaluronic acid, which help to smooth, firm and restore skin naturally. Exercise Building muscle helps strengthen your ‘frame,’ which can provide better support for your skin and help reduce sagging. Strength training stimulates muscle fibre growth and increases density, creating a firmer, more defined structure beneath the skin. Although scientific evidence is limited, many beauty experts swear by face exercises, or ‘face yoga.’ Like any kind of workout for your body, face yoga can help tone your face and strengthen your facial muscles. Techniques like the ‘cheek puff,’ ‘forehead push’ and ‘neck tilts’ can subtly lift the jawline and neck. Skin Massage Treating your face and neck to a gentle massage, especially when paired with tools like a jade roller or gua sha, can help reduce that pesky puffiness, improve blood circulation, helping to leave you with a firmer, lifted look. We recommend applying a facial oil like our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil beforehand, just to minimise any skin stretching. Lifestyle Change Skin laxity is inevitable as we age. But what if we told you that there are lifestyle changes that could help roll back the clock on skin ageing? That’s right. Simple daily habits, like moisturising and wearing sunscreen, can visibly improve your skin’s health and appearance. Discover our complete range of face skincare, including moisturisers, sunscreen, cleansers, essences, serums, face oils, masks, eye care, lip care, hand care, body care and products for dull, uneven skin tone. And it’s not just about what you put on your skin either. Eating healthy, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and keeping stress levels down can lead to fresher, younger-looking skin. Making good choices like drinking in moderation or quitting smoking can also make a big difference over time. What Is the Best Skin Tightening Treatment? If you’re wondering how to tighten face skin instantly, cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, laser treatments and ultrasound therapy may deliver quicker results. For advanced sagging, you could consider minimally invasive treatments like fillers, micro-needling with radiofrequency or PRP. Just a heads-up, though — these might involve needles, some downtime and may be pricier than at-home treatments. Consult a board-certified dermatologist to help determine the best skin tightening treatment plan for your skin type and health. What causes sagging skin on the face and neck? One of the most common causes of loose skin is the loss of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we naturally lose these proteins, and of course, things like sun damage and unhealthy lifestyle accelerate that. Less collagen and elastin means the skin is less able to snap back into place after being stretched, which leads to sagging and loose skin. How to tighten skin on face and neck? If you’ve noticed that your skin isn’t quite as firm as it used to be, there are steps you could take to help improve firmness and plump your skin. At home, you can start with firming skincare products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients such as peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C. Facial massage with your hands or tools like gua sha or jade rollers can get the blood flowing and throwing in some facial exercises, or ‘face yoga,’ can also strengthen and tone the muscles underneath. A healthy lifestyle plays a big role too. Eat collagen-rich foods like berries and leafy greens, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, exercise regularly and wear SPF daily to protect against sun damage. What is the best ingredient for facial skin tightening? Sure, there’s no magic elixir for youthful skin, but some ingredients may help tighten skin over time. Retinol and peptides are your go-tos for long-term face tightening, while hyaluronic acid gives you that instant plumping effect. Vitamin C is another hero ingredient, protecting against sun damage and boosting collagen production.

THE BOTANICAL BEHIND OUR BESTSELLING ESSENCE
PREPARE, HYDRATE & ACTIVATE WITH ACTIVATING WATER ESSENCE+ The decision between natural and synthetic ingredients often comes down to what aligns best with your skin's needs and values. Natural ingredients often offer powerful benefits equal to their synthetic counterparts. Just as Hyaluronic Acid has hydrating properties, did you know that Marshmallow Root, found in nature, has superior hydration benefits too? At Jurlique, nature is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we chose Marshmallow Root as the hero of our Activating Water Essence+. THE POWER OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS IN ACTIVATING WATER ESSENCE+ Activating Water Essence+ is formulated with 98% natural origin ingredients,* including Marshmallow Root extract. It contains a high mucilage content—a thick, syrup-like substance with intensive hydrating, softening, and balancing properties.

Using Activating Water Essence+ is like giving your skin a moisture boost, perfectly preparing skin for the next step of your skincare ritual. THE STORY OF MARSHMALLOW ROOT The Marshmallow Root used in Activating Water Essence+ begins its journey on our farm in the pristine Adelaide Hills. Our biodynamic** practices ensure that we nurture the plant in a way that respects the environment and the integrity of the ingredient itself. We use two methods to extract the full benefits of Marshmallow Root: Bio-Intrinsic™ extraction and maceration. Bio-Intrinsic™ extraction is a meticulous process that begins with distillation, where the dried Marshmallow Root is steamed to release its delicate essential oils and nutrients. This is followed by percolation, where a liquid solvent is circulated through the root to draw out water-soluble compounds. Finally, the process concludes with ashing, where the remaining plant material is burned to extract essential minerals, ensures that every beneficial part of the Marshmallow Root is extracted and infused into our skincare. We also utilise maceration, where the dried root is soaked in purified water and glycerine for three days. This method allows us to draw out the full hydrating potential of the root, making Activating Water Essence+ even more effective. THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR EFFECTIVE SKINCARE Natural ingredients often offer powerful benefits equal to their synthetic counterparts. Just as Hyaluronic Acid has hydrating properties, did you know that Marshmallow Root, found in nature, has powerful hydration benefits too?

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.
