*Product Review: L’uvalla Balancing Cream*

"L'uvalla (loo-VA-la) means love the spirit within all things. Love your skin. Love the Earth. Love People. Love the Animals. Love Yourself. L'uvalla is a way of life: mindful, healthy, balanced, and beautiful. LUV' All is the very core of our name, our company, our mission and our beauty products." - L'uvalla Certified Organic

Reviewing natural beauty products is one of the best jobs in the world.
Did you know that up to 67% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed
directly into your bloodstream? The natural beauty business is important
stuff, really important. Staying current with beauty trends, while
understanding the lingo of companies and sly marketing tactics can get
pretty confusing when all you are looking to do is be beautiful and
"harm none", including yourself, the earth, animals, your children -
both born and unborn. It can be very confusing out there with all of the
labels claiming ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ yet still containing toxic
ingredients that could put your health at risk. These days many products
try to increase their sales by jumping on the “green” train and
employing tactics such as green-washing, spin marketing and deceptive
labeling.

It is important to note that all organic ingredients are natural,
although not all natural ingredients can be organic. With the words
natural, green and organic flying off the shelves these days, it can be
difficult knowing what products are the best choices to invest in. Which
brings me back to loving this job. I don't mind doing all the weeding
and sharing the best and the brightest blossoms with you. L'uvalla is
one of those blossoms. Everyone loves L'uvalla, including many celebrities.

*My Experience*

Made in the South of France, L'uvalla's Balancing Cream is an
anti-aging, light moisturizer that can be used everyday. It has a light
and spicy scent, with a hint of sweetness and a matte finish. My skin
felt soft, but not overly greasy the way that many other creams and
moisturizers can look. It did not cause my skin to break out the way
that many moisturizers tend to do. The directions say to use a
dime-sized amount and inhale the aromatherapy benefits while applying.
There is also an affirmation to be declared to the universe while
breathing in the aroma. My skin feels very soft when using this cream
and I feel confident that I am putting only the best onto my skin.
Although it is okay to use this balancing cream alone, it is part of a
three part skin care regimen.

L'uvalla is the best of the best and is used often by the stars of
Hollywood. Celebrities love this stuff as much as the rest of us. This
is high-end, natural beauty at its finest. Although expensive, it is
worth it.
