How Joyce Bloks’ Anti-Ageing range ‘talks’ to your skin
Tumblr media
Skincare so advanced, it communicates with your skin In an ideal world, we'd be able to talk to our skin, ask it what it's missing and give it clear instructions like, "please focus on building more collagen!". At Joyce Blok, this is actually a very achievable goal.   
Our Anti-Ageing range works to minimise the appearance of existing wrinkles and help prevent the formation of new lines. It provides a daily action to help firm and smooth the face, neck and décolleté to reveal a radiant glow. So how does it do all this while conversing with our body's largest organ?  
The Anti-Ageing range naturally encourages a more youthful complexion by facilitating intercellular communication within the skin! The professional formulations are enriched with two intelligent peptides that function as messengers, allowing the epidermis and dermis to communicate more efficiently. 
The first of these 'talking' ingredients is one of the most effective cell-communicating peptides in skin care; Matrixyl 3000 promotes collagen synthesis and encourages improved firmness and tone. This clever peptide mimics the appearance of broken collagen strands which signal to the skin that collagen has been lost, causing the skin to react naturally by producing more. 
Argireline is a peptide which enhances these actions while actively working to calm stressed skin. Argireline relaxes facial tension, minimising the appearance of wrinkles and preventing further skin ageing. 
Another incredible ingredient is White Tea which features in the Anti-Ageing Day Cream. While it doesn't communicate in the here and now, it does tap into the future. Defending you from early signs of ageing by protecting your skin from pollution and free radical damage.
Drawing on our extensive knowledge of New Zealand skin types and expertise in blending naturally sourced active ingredients, our researchers have selected an innovative mix of ingredients to help keep age concerns at bay while keeping up with modern advances in communication. We expect it in all other areas of our lives, so why not in our skincare? 
The entire anti-ageing line is available here and four key products from the range are included in our Anti-Ageing Holiday Pack.

Wellbeing in Wellington
Tumblr media
Joyce Blok is a familiar name in our capital city, and that's due in part, to the fabulous work of Joanne Watson and Linley Ramsay, the duo behind beauty therapy and day spa Urban Sanctuary. The dreamy spa catering to the wellbeing needs of Wellingtonians for the past thirty years.
The pair are all about professionalism and warmth and see their space as a time-out for anyone wanting to escape their everyday to relax and rejuvenate. "Our holistic focus towards our clients wellbeing delivered with our hearts, our heads and our hands, combined with our commitment to using only the most pure and natural products available, is what we believe has sustained the continued success and growth of our business".
We sat down with Joanne and Linely to learn what they love most about working in the beauty industry, what self-care means to them and what their favourite JB products are.
What do you love most about working in your industry?
Joanne: The aroma of the divine skincare products we use at Urban Sanctuary followed by making my clients feel amazing with my time, energy and touch.  
Linley: I have the opportunity every day to make people feel nurtured and great about themselves.
What does self care mean to you?
Joanne: Taking time out for my favourite day; A walk, a full body massage followed by a home care facial, leaving the Joyce Blok vitamin cream mask on while having a glass of French champagne (or two!).
Linley: Taking time to listen to my inner being. Time spent by the ocean does it for me. Better still, if I can swim in the ocean - or, a restorative yoga session and a soothing soak in an aromatic hot bath also heightens my awareness of self care and nurturing.
Favourite Joyce Blok product? 
Most definitely the Super Serum. It's so hydrating. It gives immediate results and comfort to the skin and is so versatile as it can be used on your skin, around the eyes and the décolletage love, love, love!
Linley: The BB Cream is definitely my JB hero product. Evens out skin tone, light-diffusing glow, sun protection, with antioxidants, what more could you want in a daily protection product?
Can you share a quote that resonates with you? 
Joanne: "You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life" - Coco Chanel.
Linely: “You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good” - Janice Joplin.
What’s the most special quality about Wellington?
Joanne: You just can’t beat Wellington on a good day.
Linley: Windswept and Irresistible. (Just how I like my men too!)
If you’re ever in the windy city, be sure to pop in to Urban Sanctuary, if we know one thing for sure, it’s that you’ll be given the warmest welcome.

Skin Care Under The Mask
Continuing our support of the United Nations content to educate, uplift, and inspire people all across the world, we share this positive image and our skin care tips for under the mask skin.
Tumblr media
Squeaky Clean
Cleanse your face before AND after wearing a mask, to both prep your skin AND clean it after being out and about. Our creamy Essential range features targeted cleansers, or for a unisex and universal age option, our Refreshing Gel Cleanser is a firm family favourite.
Eye Spy
Your eyes will truly be the star of the show, so before applying your favourite mascara, add a dab of one of our Eye Creams to brighten and firm your delicate eye contour area.
Mask Squared
After the mask, it’s time to use our powerful boosters (Linden Refining, Vitamin Cream and Collagen & Elastin) at least once or twice a week. This will ensure that your skin is still receiving precious nutrients and add a touch of nourishment to your skin.
Treat
Your skin will be quite susceptible to breakouts and blemishes during this time. Treat your skin at night with our Active Purifying Lotion for overactive or oily skin, or Serum BHA3 for pesky blackheads and whiteheads.
Plus until 5pm on Monday 21st September, when you spend $170 or more you’ll receive a free Sugar Scrub, for the ultimate evening ritual. Enjoy and stay safe x

Tea Break
Tumblr media
Tea is more than just a popular warm drink. For thousands of years, ‘taking tea’ has been a ritual, practiced by cultures all around the world. Originating in China, tea drinking spread to Japan, then Holland, and eventually throughout the rest of Europe. Dutch settlers introduced tea to America in 1650. 
Britain was one of the last European countries to enjoy tea. Most of the tea imports were illegally smuggled until the British government slashed the tax rate in 1784. Tea has become an affordable drink for all and it is estimated that over 3 billion cups are consumed worldwide every day.
Tea extract studies show tea to have therapeutic effects, including antioxidant, bacteriostatic, and anti-allergenic action. We’ve put together a list of our tea-infused products for you, so make a cuppa, sit back, read on and shop. 
White Tea
The healing benefits of white tea have been known for years, so it makes sense that we just had to utilise it. White tea contains high amounts of antibacterial and anti-ageing properties that help prevent wrinkles and sagging skin. Absolutely brimming with antioxidants, this ingredient is a mature skin must.
Anti-Ageing Daily Skin Cleanser, Tonic Lotion, Day Cream SPF15 and Night Cream
Vitamin A 0.5% and 1%
Green Tea
A popular drink after a meal, green tea has been used for medicinal purposes in some parts of the world for thousands of years. Noted to be rich in potent antioxidants called catechins, it also features anti-inflammatory properties, helping skin irritation, redness and swelling. A must for problem skins, and those needing a healthy boost.
JB Man Daily Moisturiser
Alpha-Beta Concentrate
Super Serum

Night Time Skin Care Routine
As you dream, your skin goes through a regeneration process, which is why it’s so important to ensure your night time skin care routine is done correctly. We’ve put together a handy guide to help you get the most out of your JB goodies.
Tumblr media
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Its crazy the amount of dirt, pollution and makeup that can build up on your face during the day. Use a cleanser to remove the day, and then cleanse once again to leave your skin fresh and prepared for the next step. Try: Essential Skin Cleanser (Normal or Sensitive), Anti-Ageing Daily Skin Cleanser, Alpha-Beta Radiance Cleanser (cooler months), Refreshing Gel Cleanser, JB Man Daily Cleansing Scrub or Eye & Lip Cleanser
Step 2: Exfoliate (weekly)
Only to be done once a week at most, an exfoliant removes excess dead skin cells, and helps with congested areas. Remember, be gentle! Try: Gentle Facial Cleanser, Face & Body Exfoliant or Alpha-Beta Facial Exfoliant (cooler months)
Step 3: Tone
A great way to bring balance to your skin, and ensure all traces of cleanser have gone, use a damp cotton pad and a dash of JB Tonic Lotion, and gently rub over your skin. Try: Essential Skin Tonic Lotion (Normal or Sensitive), Anti-Ageing Daily Tonic Lotion or Alpha-Beta Radiance Tonic Lotion (cooler months)
Step 4: Mask (weekly)
An enriching and intensive way to bring moisture, firmness and brightness to your skin, and the ultimate special treat at the end of the week (or before an event). Try: Collagen & Elastin Gel Mask, Linden Refining Mask or Vitamin Cream Mask
Step 5: Target
A targeted serum is a great way to allow for a more direct and intensive approach. Depending on your needs and concerns, apply a couple of drops to your palm, and gently press onto your skin, or problem areas. Try: Serum BHA3 or vitamin A (watch this space!)
Step 6: Boost
A fantastic way to bring a boost of nutrients and antioxidants to your skin. Apply a couple of drops to your palm, and gently press onto your skin. Try: Super Serum 
Step 7: Heal
A skin healer is important, especially at night. A soothing serum is the best way to go, and will also act to seal in your previous product. Try: Vitamin E 15%
Step 8: Eyes
An eye cream is a vital part of your night routine, and a great way to nourish and firm this delicate part of your complexion. Dab cream gently onto your eye contour. Try: Eye Care Cream, Eye Contour Gel or Anti-Ageing Firming Eye Cream
Step 9: Moisturise
A night cream locks in your serums, and works to hydrate and protect. Massage cream over your face and décolletage. Try: Essential Skin Night Cream (Normal, Sensitive or Dry), Anti-Ageing Night Cream or Rejuvenating Skin Cream
Step 10: Lips & hands
Don’t forget about these hard-working areas. Scrub with a lip polish, apply a dab of lip balm, and massage in a hand cream. Try: Lip Polish, Lip Balm and Collagen Hand Care Cream 
As always, we recommend that you visit a JB Expert to take a closer look at your skin. If you have any questions on your JB products, email us at [email protected], and our team will help where we can. Sweet dreams x

This week we discovered the @unitednations initiative designed to aid and teach children the importance of personal hygiene, especially through the COVID-19 pandemic, and we thought it was such a cool concept.
Through vibrant illustration and text, the viewers are taken along a magical and playful journey to discover how to wash your hands correctly. This image created by Sophie Cane was one of our faves with its distinctly kiwi feel to it.
This weekend check out the UN submissions for the kids, do a little local shopping for yourself and receive a FREE treat as well x

Day Time Skin Care Routine
It’s important to keep on top of your skin care routine at home, especially with a long wait in between JB Spa visits. We’ve put together a handy guide to see you through.
Tumblr media
Step 1: Cleanse
A refreshing way to wake up, gently rub in your chosen JB cleanser with warm water to your skin. A great way to remove your night products, and start fresh. Try: Essential Skin Cleanser (Normal or Sensitive), Anti-Ageing Daily Skin Cleanser, Alpha-Beta Radiance Cleanser (cooler months), Refreshing Gel Cleanser, JB Man Daily Cleansing Scrub or Eye & Lip Cleanser
Step 2: Tone
A great way to bring balance to your skin, and ensure all traces of cleanser have gone, use a damp cotton pad and a dash of JB Tonic Lotion, and gently rub over your skin. Try: Essential Skin Tonic Lotion (Normal or Sensitive), Anti-Ageing Daily Tonic Lotion or Alpha-Beta Radiance Tonic Lotion (cooler months)
Step 3: Antioxidants
Serums are a fantastic way to bring a boost of nutrients and antioxidants to your skin. Depending on your needs and concerns, apply a couple of drops to your palm, and gently press onto your skin. Try: Serum C10, Serum C20, Serum CEF, Serum BHA3, Vitamin E 15% or Super Serum
Step 4: Eye Cream
An eye cream is a vital part of your every day routine, and a great way to nourish and firm this delicate part of your complexion. Dab cream gently onto your eye contour. Try: Eye Care Cream, Eye Contour Gel or Anti-Ageing Firming Eye Cream
Step 5: Moisturise
A moisturiser is an essential part of your routine, and a great way to lock in your serum, and an instant hit of hydration. Massage cream over your face and décolletage. Try: Essential Skin Moisturiser (Normal, Sensitive or Dry), Anti-Ageing Day Cream SPF15 or Rejuvenating Skin Cream
Step 6: Protect
Sunscreen is a must, yes even if it’s cloudy! Finish your routine with a generous amount of sunscreen applied over your face and décolletage – and voila! Try: BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or Everyday Sun Fitness SPF15+ (NZ only)
While we always recommend that you visit a JB Expert to take a closer look at your skin, we appreciate this may not be possible at present. If you have any questions on your JB products, email us at [email protected], and our team will help where we can.
From our JB family to yours, take care x

JB Bucket List for 2020
Tumblr media
In 2020, Joyce Blok steps into a new decade full of excitement...
This year we launch three new products; for ageing well, glowing skin and a product for those who have problematic skin. 
Our research team has been working around the clock to create safe, results based products with a true kiwi flavour to them - making healthy skin fun and ours to enjoy. As proud greenies, we also further our sustainability philosophy in 2020. A little something to look forward to as we enter a new decade. We will definitely keep you posted. 
Over strawberries and Tip Top ice cream yesterday we wrote down some of our goals for 2020 and thought we’d share them. We call them our strawberry bucket list...
JB BUCKET LIST 2020 - From the team
Extend my compost heap
Slow down and walk more
Read one book a month for pleasure, and one book a month for my brain
Do more crosswords, say less cross words
Be kinder to my beautiful skin
Look forward to being in touch again soon...See ya xx

Breast Cancer Cure
Tumblr media
With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we thought we would share a little bit of information behind the Breast Cancer Cure organisation.
New Zealand has the 7th highest incidence of breast cancer, for both men and women, in the world. Breast Cancer Cure is New Zealand’s only not-for-profit organisation established solely to find a cure for breast cancer. Since its establishment, Breast Cancer Cure has funded many significant research projects in New Zealand, totalling close to $11 million in grants.
Some of the New Zealand institutions to benefit from Breast Cancer Cure's work include the University of Canterbury, the University of Otago, The Liggins Institute in Auckland, the Malaghan Institute in Wellington, University of Auckland and Massey University.
As well as our annual Think Pink campaign, of which $5 from every facial goes to Breast Cancer Cure, and $1 from every Face & Body Exfoliant purchased online, we also donate product to select Fashion for a Cure shows, held throughout the year by the team at Breast Cancer Cure. 
The team at Joyce Blok New Zealand are proud and honoured to be part of this community campaign, and thank you for your support.
> Visit the Breast Cancer Cure website here
Contact us at [email protected] for more information on our Think Pink offer this October x

BB Cream FAQs
Tumblr media
Our beautiful BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 has been flying out the doors since being launched last month – we’re thrilled to see such a positive response. Want to know more? We’ve put together our frequently asked questions about this multi-tasker.
Does it have sun protection? This product features a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 rating. This was achieved after nine months of development followed by nine weeks of rigorous UVA, UVB & Broad Spectrum testing, in order to comply with New Zealand and Australian SPF standards (AS/NZS 2604:2012). 
Will it suit all skin tones? Our BB Cream features Silica and Mineral Iron Oxides, which warm to your skin tone. We’ve tried and tested this on skin types 1-4, resulting in the perfect universal shade for these complexions. Simply apply, and leave for a couple of minutes, as it warms to your complexion.
How much coverage does it offer? This product offers natural coverage upon first application, however it can also be layered, if a fuller “foundation” look is preferred. Gently rub product onto your skin, wait a few minutes for the minerals to work their magic, and voila!
Do I need to use other products with it? One of the advantages of this multi-tasker is that it moisturises, protects, repairs and conceals all in one, as it was created to be used on its own. However you can layer it over your serum and moisturiser, and add foundation, depending on your personal preference of hydration and coverage. 
What does the green plum and sugar symbolise? As with all Joyce Blok products, this BB Cream features a mix of science and nature. Kakadu Plum, native to Australia, is a serious vitamin C enriched super fruit, and acts as an antioxidant. Plus, its blend of 100% natural sugars result in a smoother, softer skin which will retain moisture for up to 72 hours. 
Missed anything? Contact us at [email protected], visit our website to find your closest stockist, or shop online. Created with love, enjoy x
