If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat then you may have seen the Jurlique event that I was lucky enough to attend. I am a huge fan of Jurlique and you might have seen some of their products mentioned rather alot across my social media, especially the Rose water balancing mist which I get through bottles of.
This event was to celebrate the launch of the new Activating Water Essence, which will be an extra step in your skincare routine, but it is a step worth adding because it’s all about flooding your skin with hydration and then locking it in! I have combination skin which leans to the oily side and no water which company I have a skin scan with, one of the reports which comes back is hydration for my skin should be a top priority. Well this Water Essenceis designed to do just that. Packed with Marshmallow Root Extract, a botanical ingredient known for it’s soothing and hydrating properties.
Keeping your skin really hydrated allows it to function normally, stay healthy, and retain its smooth and soft appearance. But as we all know there are many factors that can cause your skin to become dehydrated. The natural ageing process and to much exposure to elements such as air conditioning, weather and pollution are just a few. So anything I can do to ensure my skin gets everything it needs is worth a try.
With my skincare routine, this product is used after I have cleansed. I tend not to use a toner everyday, but it would come after that if you do use one. Dropping just a few drops (3-4) onto the palms of my hands, rub them together and then press onto my skin. Having done that, it is then when I add my serum and moisturiser. So the Water Essence fits in the routine right in the middle. The marshmellow route extract delivers lasting hydration while protecting your skin from moisture loss. It leaves skin feeling soft and healthy, and ready to absorb the full benefits of the rest of your skin care ritual.
One thing I have noticed since using this daily for the last 4 weeks is that my skin does feel much more hydrated to the touch. I suffer with dry cheeks which often look chapped and sore, so far (touches all the wood) this hasn't yet happened and instead my skin is soft and smooth to the touch and as my skin isn't dry, my foundation stays in place for much longer and doesn't have anything to cling too when it comes to dry skin!
