Jurlique Citrus Silk Finishing Powder

Jurlique Citrus Silk Finishing Powder

Last month we told you about our favorite Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream and now there’s another Jurlique product that keeps us awake at night: Citrus Silk Finishing Powder.

Our skin is kind of crazy in that it’s mostly normal to dry, but somehow manages to get oily in the t-zone. We never leave home without powder to tame our shiny reflection and this one by Jurlique is currently topping our list.

Citrus Silk Finishing Powder is a loose translucent facial powder with the same citrus scent as their hand cream. Light and refreshing, this powder helps to absorb excess oil to reduce shine without using color or clogging pores.

Jurlique Citrus Silk Finishing Powder is so amazing, we find ourself using it as a mid-day pick-me-up even if we’re not shiny.

If citrus isn’t your thing, this powder is also available in Rose and Lavender scents to respectively offer balancing and calming properties.

Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream

Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream

Hand cream is a must here in the high desert. If we don’t slather it on after every hand washing (and then some) by the end of the day, we’re a dry, cracked mess.

Back in November, at Space NK in Soho, we found the most amazing rose scented hand cream by Jurlique, an independent alternative skin care company based in Australia. No other hand cream compares to this rich, creamy formula. It is, by far, the best we’ve ever tried.

Jurlique has two certified organic farms spanning over 165 acres in South Australia where they practice biodynamic farming (a philosophy based on preserving the inner balance of the farm’s ecosystem by growing mutually beneficial companion crops near one another—what one crop takes from the soil, another gives back). Over 50 different varieties of plants and flowers are grown on these farms and transformed into Jurlique skincare products.

This month, our favorite hand cream is now available in Citrus scent: a blend of tangerine, mandarin and lemon that is beyond divine. (Also, our children no longer complain that we smell like a rose-scented-grandma.)

Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream is available at various retail locations and online at jurlique.com.
