With the start of 'Jurlique Week' on ohkalukalay, I thought I would start by writing about one of my favourite products. Jurlique's Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum* (£47, here) is a serum, primarily aimed at reducing fine lines, restoring glow and hydration to the skin, so I would say is targeted more towards older women/men, however, I wouldn't stay away from it for that reason. It may 'Youth defence' on the bottle, but who doesn't want younger looking skin at any age? I'm 23 and I find myself constantly aiming to maintain a 'young looking skin' vibe, as my mother has wonderful skin, so I want to follow in her footsteps, and look/feel fabulous at any age - and I strongly believe, that this serum is really helping to give my skin that plump, hydrated glow that I love to have. It's something that I lack whenever I'm somewhat dehydrated, but I feel like that cream is a really good way to fake that healthy look, regardless of whether you're feeling under the weather or not. I'll pop a little of this on under my makeup in the morning if I feel like my skin needs some extra nourishment, or if it's going to be a long gruelling day and my skin is going to need all the help it can get, considering all the air conditioning etc.
In the morning, I would apply this over my La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo +, then moisturise as normal, before applying my makeup, whereas at night, there is a whole routine. I last spoke about my nightly routine in September (link here) and a lot has changed since then, leading me to believe that I really should write an updated post about it... yes, that's on the list of things to do. My current routine features some key Jurlique products, that I'll mention by name, but won't go into full detail over, as what'll be left to say in their reviews, huh? I cleanse, or double cleanse, depending on how my skin feels, then I tone using first a few splashes of coooold, cold water and then a spritz of Serozinc by La Roche-Posay which I remove with a cotton pad. Then, it's either time for the eye cream, followed by my blemish treatment, then my oil, serum, floral spritz and locking in all the hydration is my moisturiser. I do tend to switch around my serums and moisturisers now, but when I tested this, I used it solidly for four/five months or so, sometimes twice-three times a day, if I applied my makeup in the morning (whilst having a dry/dull skin day), then redid my face before going out in the evening (of course, reapplying the serum) and then at the end of the day, complete with oils, lotions and potions. Another thing I love about the product, is the packaging; it has that simple, yet expensive smooth glass bottle, which has become something I relate solely to Jurlique, as their Rosewater Mist has the same packaging, making them look divine perched on my bedside table.
So, basically, after using this for about five months, i'm about to run out (which is why there's no swatch, sorry, but this is so precious to me and my skin) and not only am I incredibly sad about it, but i'm also so happy with what it's done to my skin. Twenty year old skin is awkward. Blemishes, oil, the development of fine lines - it's all happening, and although I don't know of a serum targeted towards twenty-something skin, this for me, has it all. It keeps my skin looking plump and radiant, which to be honest, I need. With dark circles under my eyes, that leave me looking like a member of the undead, I need that glow and plumpness that Jurlique's Herbal Recovery Serum brings. I know it may seem like a bit of an over exaggeration to say that this is one of the best skincare products for me, seeing as its targeted towards older skin - but on some days, when I switch between two other serums as well, I feel like my skin almost yearns for this product. It glides onto cleansed skin and I know it'll do me right, whether I have blemishes or not. It leaves me glowing, and I cannot be without it. Do you have any Jurlique products or any wonder products your skincare routine cannot be whole without?
