What: All-natural, organic, luxury skin care products from L’uvalla.
Why: Summer’s wreaking its usual havoc on my skin, and the idea of putting anything ending in “oxide” on my face just scares me. I want natural, I want effective, and I want absolutely no “oxides.”
Enter L’uvalla, a company that holds itself up to the highest standards for “organic” and “natural” labels (it uses the more rigorous European standard rather than the US regulations), and has designed a Balancing System for skin like mine. Mother Nature was on my side!
The Toner was a little strong for me — if you don’t know your tolerance for sage, you’ll quickly find out using this product. However, I’m happy to report that the other products in the batch worked very well: the Day & Night cream didn’t make me feel like an oil slick, which is always a plus in the summer, and their Gentle Foaming Cleanser left me with that clean tingle I love — all oxide-free.
Price: $118.50 for a 3-month supply

I love this skin care! A friend of mine had tried the eye cream and could not quit talking about it. I went online and bought the Balancing Set and have been using it for about 10 days now – the smell is so wonderful. I have never really had a regular skin regimen, but I look forward to this everyday – especially the Eucalyptus Toner. The main thing that I love is that it is 100% natural. Being a cancer survivor, I take chemicals very seriously.
This sounds great. Does anyone know what stores carry these products?
You can get it on their website right now (luvalla.com), but it’s coming to national retailers soon! (like Whole Foods)
I found their whole product line at Sprouts (a health food store) in Irvine, CA.
I LOVE it!
YOu can find it @ pharmica in Ca.
