Childhood memories are made of this. . . The fresh, clean scent of furniture polish your mother used to bring wood surfaces to a shine. The brisk, crisp after-shave your father wore day in, day out, for as long as you can remember. The tangy smell of fresh-squeezed lemonade in summer. Aaaah. . . the aromatic appeal of citrus!
If you love to travel – like so many Jurlique staffers do – you know what an enriching experience that is. But, no matter where you roam, a scent of something familiar can instantly bring you home. That’s the power of fragrance. A particular scent from the past – like the patchouli oil you wore every single day as a teen, or the sexy, musky scent that seemed buried in your first boyfriend’s favourite tee-shirt – can stop you in your tracks and flood your mind with memories.
The scent of your favourite shampoo as a teenager. The smell of grass after it rains. The aroma of chocolate chip cookies, warm in the oven. Pleasing olfactory experiences such as these can leave indelible marks on our memory, stirring up long-forgotten feelings of another time and place. Unlike an Instagram photo, these fragrance-induced recollections remain in our subconscious, triggered by a top note at once familiar and yet just beyond the reach of remembering. . . until the scent wafts our way once again.
Before hunkering down for winter and hibernating, consider stocking up on the things you love and need. Cold-weather essentials like cases of hot chocolate, tons of downloaded e-books and DVDs, and an emergency-only stash of forbidden treats.
Want to try a quick, easy test to determine how hydrated your skin is (or isn’t)? Simply press upward on an area of your skin to see if fine lines form. If they do, it’s a tell-tale sign of dehydration.

Does this sound familiar? No matter how often you cleanse your skin, your complexion looks, well, pardon the turn of pun, porely. That scenario could be due to a case of enlarged pores – a skincare problem attributed to unhealthy habits including smoking, alcohol consumption and sun damage, as well as genetics.
