Meet Vanessa, who has been a JUARA fan and advocate in Indonesia and loves spreading the word. When I was just in Indonesia this last month, I took a few minutes with her to share why people across the world like it, especially from where our line is inspired from. Different cultures, different climates, different seasons – but it looks like we all have some things in common, ladies!
If you are or have friends who are from a different country, what skincare products or treatments do you/they like? Do share, we love learning new things!

I just came back from a trip to Indonesia, one of many I take every year. The stay there is the focal point of my trip, but I think getting there alone is a trip of its own. It’s a 24 flight EACH WAY from NY, I have to strategize on how to keep myself amused and when I sleep so I don’t walk out of the plane like a lost zombie. So, here are some key highlights of my frequent flights…
- I save about $40 watching at least 4 movies each way that I missed in the theatres and think “Oh, I’ll catch that on the plane for free.” And then I do. Woohoo!
- I practice a little yoga in the hallway to keep me limber, to the amusement of the stewardesses. Note: This always challenges my balancing poses. Especially when there’s turbulence.
- I have threatened jet lag to keep me at bay by sleeping on and off to adjust to the time change. Futile are its efforts to get me, “We try her every time but she just won’t pass out at 2pm!”
- I sashay radiantly out of the plane each time, since I take a Travel-Size of the Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner to keep my dry, recycled-air exposed skin refreshed and faboo. And faboo is good.
So – back to Indonesia. I go back home to Jakarta and Bali to see family, friends, and of course, live, breathe, and research for JUARA. After all, it’s the ancient Indonesian herbal tradition and beauty rituals I grew up with that inspired me to create the line. I wish I could take everyone who asks “What’s it like over there,” but that’s a little tough. Ok, I can do carry on luggage, so for all you JUARA fans 40lbs and under – you must be this small to ride this ride – jump on in, and we can watch the movies together.
For the rest of you over 40lbs, I give you this video. Enjoy!
(Do you have travel tips to make long flights easier? I’m always looking for suggestions!)
Hi, here’s a little less about JUARA and more about JAMU, the Indonesian herbal tradition from where JUARA was inspired. This will be the start of a series of videos covering a smattering of JAMU related topics – hope you enjoy a little history lesson in yummy little tidbits. Watch out, there’ll be a quiz at the end! Just kidding… Of course, if you do want to dig in deeper, there are more formal books and research materials from which I learned the information, so I’ll be more than happy to refer those to you too, but in the meantime, here’s to episode 1!
People always ask us to recommend ‘packages’ for their skincare regimen or for gifting. So over time, we’ve come up with a bunch of ‘bundles of goodness,’ so to speak, and it makes for easy one-stop-shopping if you’re wanting skincare solutions or if you want to try something new – at a value price!
Check out our site for theJUARA Deal of the Month, aka JUARA Monthly Specials! They change every month, check back often and see what tgoodies the next month has to offer! (Btw – add the link as a favorite, since it’ll be the same URL month after month…)
You can always get products a la carte, that’s the beauty of JUARA; you can use our botanicals based products as a set (works wonders!) or mix and match with your fave products, but we thought we’d give you some options, and also a great deal. Enjoy!
Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone’s off to a good start. Here’s a little something to perk up your day – one of our favorite JUARA videos (also newly up on our homepage).
For starters, it’s inspired by so many people who have told us how they feel about JUARA – that it’s doesn’t only work, but that it’s sooo indulgent feeling. The tales we hear… that someone wanted to bathe in the body creme, (hmm, might be hard to drain but ok…,) or eat the coffee scrub, (delish tho it smells, we’re sad to say we don’t recommend that…) and more. So all in all, we’re glad to be able to provide that guilty pleasure feel – without any of the guilt.
Plus, it’s actually quite a personal video; there are cameos of the JUARA girls (can you find us?) and many of our friends in it. It made the whole making of it so much fun! (To our JUARA Friends: It wouldn’t have been the same without you!)
If you are inspired to indulge after watching, please feel free to do so at www.juaraskincare.com. If you also have other ideas for future JUARA videos, please post a comment and let us know!
Have an awesome week!
