Here are some tips to get you started: Self-Love: The art of Mindful living Self-love is the foundation upon which our well-being and happiness are built. It's an essential practice that involves accepting and valuing oneself unconditionally. To cultivate self-love, one can begin by practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness is the art of being fully present in the moment, observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. Engaging in regular mindfulness exercises, such as meditation or deep breathing, can help calm the mind and create space for self-compassion to flourish. Love Your Body: Listen and Care This year, make a promise to truly listen to your body, from the inside out. Your body often sends signals when it's time to slow down so make sure to listen and respond accordingly. Engage in purposeful movement like yoga, a beautiful way to connect with your body and find balance. Take regular walks in nature; connecting with the outdoors can be incredibly grounding and rejuvenating. And don't forget to treat yourself with a nurturing self-care ritual that can also lift your spirit. Use our Exclusive Edition Rose Body Oil to hydrate and soften your skin. Use it as a moisturiser or massage oil, or mix it with Jurlique Body Lotion for a session of total replenishment. And don't forget to treat yourself with a nurturing self-care ritual that can also lift your spirit. Use our Exclusive Edition Rose Body Oil to hydrate and soften your skin with a mindful massage. Apply the oil with pampering strokes across your body, being conscious of the touch and scent of every movement as you replenish your mind, body and soul. Spread the Love: It's Good for the Soul A good life is not complete without good relationships, and a self-love ritual is not complete without spreading the love to those around you. Embrace the ripple effect of kindness. Make it a practice to perform random acts of kindness, knowing that small gestures can brighten someone's day and uplift your soul.

YOUR SKIN IS AN EXPRESSION OF YOUR LIFE JOURNEY
Why skin is an expression of your life journey Expression lines at corners of our eyes recount the laughs and smiles spent with loved ones. The freckles on our nose are a mark of everlasting summers spent under the sun. A furrowed brow is a reminder of strength and determination to achieve hard-won successes. Our skin, the largest organ of our body, is often considered a canvas that reflects our inner health and external experiences. From the glow of youth to the lines etched by time, our skin captures the moments, emotions, and choices that shape us. It is more important than ever for us to embrace holistic wellness, embrace our skin journey and discover the best ways to enhance who we are already. A change in mindset Understanding that our skin reflects our life journey allows us to embrace our imperfections and practice self-acceptance. It reminds us that true beauty is not solely defined by societal standards, but rather by the stories we carry within us. Embracing our skin's unique characteristics and prioritising self-care rituals fosters a sense of authenticity and self-love. Rather than viewing these signs of ageing as flaws to be erased, we can embrace them as badges of honour, celebrating the beauty that comes with age and experience. The role of skincare in holistic wellness Skincare is a fundamental aspect of holistic wellness, extending beyond aesthetic beauty, serving as a form of self-care and self-love. By focusing on our skin's health and engaging in mindful skincare rituals, we create moments of mindfulness, tranquillity and foster inner peace. By prioritising holistic skincare, we not only enhance our physical appearance, but also recognise that nurturing ourselves leads to a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit. Celebrate your natural beauty At Jurlique, holistic wellness and beauty is at the core of who we are. This starts from the nurturing potent farm-grown botanicals to developing nourishing skincare like our Nutri-Define range. An effective skincare range that uses natural botanicals to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a plumped and supple appearance.

Our Jurlique radiance blend also features with a combination of four antioxidant-rich botanicals from the Jurlique farm to protect skin from environmental aggressors and promote a radiant complexion. Our newest addition to the family, Nutri-Define Mask, also features Red Algae and Tara Fruit Extract to protect skin from harmful environmental aggressors. It is the perfect self-care product to add to your Nutri-Define ritual. By recognising and embracing the significance of our skin, we can cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves and approach skincare as a holistic practice that nourishes our entire being.

THE POWER OF UV PROTECTION
Sun protection is often associated with the warmer months, particularly during outdoor activities, exercising amongst nature, or being by the water. However, sun protection should be used 365 days a year to help maintain skin health and vitality, regardless of the weather or season. Discover why daily sun protection is a must for overall skin wellness. Protect against sun damage Daily sun protection is essential to shield skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays which can cause sunburn and skin cancer. Our delicate skin is exposed to incidental sun exposure every day, whether we’re outdoors or sitting by a window. With incidental sun exposure accounting for approximately 80% of our lifetime sun exposure, sun protection should be used every day, all year round, and reapplied when necessary. A daily SPF lotion that provides broad spectrum protection, such as UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ is ideal for everyday use, no matter your skin type or skin tone. What is the difference between UVA and UVB? UVB rays, referred to as burning rays, are responsible for causing tanning and sunburn. On the other hand, UVA rays, also known as ageing rays, can accelerate the ageing process of the skin, leading to wrinkles and age spots. On the other hand, However, it's important to note that exposure to both types of rays increases the risk of skin cancer. The SPF rating of a product indicates its effectiveness in shielding against UVB rays, while the term "broad spectrum" signifies that the product provides protection against UVA rays as well. Our UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ protects against both UVA and UVB rays, but also contains antioxidants, which offers additional defence against environmental aggressors. Selecting the right UV protection for your skin Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays into the skin and subsequently releasing them, while physical sunscreens act by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting UV rays away from the body or face. Chemical sunscreens offer greater resistance to water and sweat, and they absorb more rapidly into the skin, making them suitable for daily use. On the other hand, physical sunscreens, also known as "mineral “, sunscreens, are milder but may be more challenging for the skin to absorb, potentially leaving a noticeable white residue. Regardless of your choice, it is crucial to always select a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for optimal protection. Incorporating UV protection into my skincare ritual As a general guideline, it is recommended to apply UV protection as the final step in your skincare routine. It is important to allow sufficient time for the previous products to fully absorb before applying this final step. If you are preparing for the day, you can utilise this time to style your hair or make yourself a cup of tea while allowing your skincare products to properly penetrate the skin. If you plan on wearing makeup, also wait until your sunscreen has fully absorbed before applying your makeup for a flawless look. Prevent premature skin ageing When a complexion is described as looking ‘weathered’ it often refers to skin that has been exposed to the sun’s harsh rays. Sun damage, also referred to photo ageing or solar keratoses by dermatologists, can lead to visible premature skin ageing, namely fine lines, wrinkles, and changes to skin texture. A daily SPF lotion, such as UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ helps prevent premature skin ageing, so your skin can look and feel its best. Maintain an even skin tone Sun damage can cause changes to skin tone, with sun exposure contributing to hyperpigmentation. UV light speeds up the production of melanin, a natural pigment that gives skin its colour. Skin that has experienced sun exposure over time may have age spots appear when excess melanin becomes clumped together or is produced in high concentrations. A daily SPF lotion that is used consistently helps maintain a more even complexion. Protect skin’s natural radiance Skin that has experienced sun damage will have cells that turn over or replace themselves at a slower rate, leading to a dull, dry, and fatigued complexion. Maintain skin’s youthful radiance with a moisturising UV lotion, as a hydrating sun care formula will also leave skin looking brighter and more supple. UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ is also infused with plumping Hyaluronic Acid and soothing Aloe Vera so skin appears smoothed and well-rested. No matter your age, skin type, complexion or lifestyle, effective and consistent sun protection is crucial to ensuring and maintaining your skin’s wellness. Complete your skin wellness ritual ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Limit sun exposure and use protective clothing, hats and eye wear. Keep out of eyes. Reapply sunscreen regularly.

YOUR DAILY DOSE OF DEFENCE: INSIDE AND OUT
Holistic wellness is a complete approach to feeling and looking our best, both inside and out. It typically includes components of physical, mental, and emotional health for a comprehensive perspective towards wellbeing. Discover 5 quick and easy changes to improve your daily defence and protect yourself inside and out. Mornings with Mindful Meditation With never-ending to do lists and a constant lack of time, we often forget to take a moment and let our mind rest. There has always been a misconception towards meditation, but mindful meditation is simply the act of clearing the mind and being centred in the present. Start small, before you head out the door, try 10 minutes of breathing exercises, breathing in from one nostril and out from the other can ease your heart rate and help start your day with a clear mind. Protecting skin health Daily sun protection is an unlikely but essential part of your journey towards holistic wellness. With incidental sun exposure accounting for approximately 80% of our lifetime sun exposure, sun protection should be used every day, all year round, and reapplied when necessary. Wearing a high-quality sun care lotion each day enables you to enjoy these incidental moments with confidence that your skin is protected. A daily SPF lotion that provides broad spectrum protection, such as UV Defence Daily Lotion SPF 50+ is ideal to use as last step of your skincare ritual. Balanced breakfast We have been told many times that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but while many of us know, we still gravitate towards a coffee in the morning. Breakfast is the first moment to kick start our blood sugar levels and break the fast we have been on since dinner. Eating a balanced meal therefore provides you with the right energy, vitamins, and minerals to maximise your immune system. Why not try swapping your coffee for a matcha green tea and supplement with seasonal fruit. Easy Aromatherapy Just a few drops and you can set and forget. Aromatherapy is a great start to strengthening the mind through the olfactory senses. We recommend diffusing a few drops of an essential oil like our Defence Pure Essential Oil Blend which can invigorate and fortify the senses thanks to its natural, warm yet bold aromas. It’s an easy change that you can implement while you get ready for your day. Hydration, hydration, hydration We have probably all been told to drink more water, but many of us can forget and end up sacrificing hydrating our body for a busy lifestyle. Being well hydrated is the perfect holistic companion, it can help with sleep quality, cognition, mood and of course the quality of your skin as well. Some small and easy changes to encourage more water consumption can include setting reminders in your calendar, downloading an app that can record water consumption, adding a squeeze of lemon for a variety of flavour or simply opting for water instead of other drinks when eating out. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Limit sun exposure and use protective clothing, hats and eye wear. Keep out of eyes. Reapply sunscreen regularly.

NATURE'S TRANSFORMATIVE PATH: A CLOSER LOOK AT JURLIQUE'S SEED TO SKIN PROCESS
At Jurlique, we’re proud of our ‘seed to skin’ journey. It is not just a mantra that describes how our products can be traced back to the farm-grown ingredients, it is a guiding principle that ensures the efficacy of our natural skincare formulations and our sustainable farming practices which care for our planet. It begins with the Earth Potent natural ingredients begin with preparing fertile soil at our farm nestled in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. We carefully maintain soil health using herbal remedies and organic fertilisers to produce high-quality crops and protect our local environment. It is our soil preparations made from herbs, mineral sources, and animal manures that harness, activate and enhance the energy of nature in our farming system. Guided by the moon Our farming practices are guided by a biodynamic* calendar based on moon and its gravitational force - this indicates when vital farming activities should take place to maximise the life force energy of our botanicals. The calendar governs when to plant, cultivate and harvest various natural ingredients based on the phase of the moon. For example, our Herbal Recovery Signature range’s Yarrow is grown according to the biodynamic calendar to enhance its skin-boosting properties. Thanks to its resilient nature, it is grown along side our Roses to nurture a healthy ecosystem. Hand-harvested with care We meticulously follow the journey of each seed by hand, recording each phase from seed to germination. We hand-harvest our farm-grown ingredients with the greatest care to protect their integrity and ensure maximum vitality is preserved. Hand-harvesting allows us to select the highest-quality specimens for potent and effective skincare formulas. When it comes to our exclusive Jurlique Rose hybrid featured in our Rare Rose range, its lush blooms are carefully handpicked to preserve its intense moisturisation properties. Bio-Intrinsic extraction We employ our exclusive Bio-Intrinsic method in a three-step process that boosts the potency of our natural ingredients. We capture the three basic principles of a plant - essential oils, organic liquid extract and mineral salts - then reunite them to magnify its intensity. The first step, Purification, uses steam distillation to gently lift and release essential oils, nutrients, and liquids from dried herbs. The wet herb and condensate are then combined and filtered to produce a liquid made up of plant compounds, in a process called Intensification. In the final ashing process, the liquid is burnt to capture bare trace minerals, with the resulting ash then boiled, processed, and filtered to produce an ash extract. The extracts from all three steps are then combined which results in a product that is more potent than its original form. Full traceability and transparency To maintain the highest-level of quality, sustainability, and peak performance, we ensure the traceability of all plants from our farm in Australia to the finished products. Our herbs are tracked through a comprehensive inventory system, each individual product branded with a unique number, and packaging and parcelling completed just a 40-minute drive away from our Adelaide Hills farm. The benefits of natural ingredients for your skin We believe there are plenty of natural skincare ingredients that are equally, if not more, effective than synthetic ones. We need to care for our skin in the short term and the long term, which is why we champion the use of gentle yet effective natural ingredients when it comes to nourishing your skin. For example, our Nutri-Define collection reduces the appearance ageing thanks to the Spilanthes flower and its ability to provide a pro-collagen effect^ for a smoothed and plumped appearance. *Certified biodynamic by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia. Jurlique’s products and farm are not certified by or affiliated with Demeter® USA or Demeter International. ^Based on in-vitro study using skin cell culture for a period of 24 hours and 3 days conducted by POLA Chemical Inc.
