L’uvalla Certified Organic Skin Care ~Site Redesign Launch GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 12/17

L'uvalla is a way of life: mindful, healthy, balanced, and beautiful

L’uvalla (loo-VA-la) means love the spirit within all things.


Love your skin. L’uvalla Certified Organic skin care products use the powerful, healing properties of nature to bring out your skin’s natural beauty. Our ‘BIO’ certification gives you confidence that no dangerous toxins are being absorbed through your skin because we only use all natural and certified organic ingredients in our skin care.

Love the Earth. Every element of the natural products L'uvalla creates is sustainably produced from seed to shelf for optimal environmental preservation.

Love People. Fair trade practices used in harvesting our all natural ingredients, such as Argan Oil, not only help to preserve the argan forest, but also to improve the social and economic status of women in the Essaouira region of Morocco.

Love the Animals. You can be certain that no animals were harmed during the manufacturing of L’uvalla. Our beauty products are animal cruelty-free and vegan-approved by COSMEBIO, PETA and Leaping Bunny.

Love Yourself. The pure essential oils in L’uvalla provide powerful aromatherapy that will connect you to the beauty within yourself and quickly turn your daily skin care regimen into an addictive, unforgettable experience that you look forward to every day.

L'uvalla is a way of life: mindful, healthy, balanced, and beautiful. L’uvalla is the luxury skincare experience that goes beyond beauty—it’s a way of life that respects your health – mind, body, spirit - and the well-being of the world around you.

'LUV' All is the very core of our name, our company, our mission and our beauty products.

Is that not inspiring? It shows in their products. Luvalla just feels pure and natural. You can tell that it's all natural, and not one of those brands that call themselves natural only to find a label full of unpronounceable ingredients. It's real.

I have been using the full line of Luvalla and the reward is healthy skin and peace of mind. I know that I'm not putting junk into my body and down the drain.

•No harm done to people.


•No harm done to animals.

•No harm done to the planet.

That's a philosophy that you can feel good about and that we should start demanding from the products we buy.

Luvalla recently Launched their new site redesign. It's lovely- easy navigation, tons of information, and it looks simple and high quality, just like their products.

To celebrate their launch, Luvalla is sponsoring a giveaway here at Wishing Penny :)

Foaming Facial Cleanser - BALANCING SYSTEM STEP 1: a light, frothy cleanser for combo/oily skin that thoroughly removes daily toxins, impurities, and makeup without irritating your eyes. Potent ingredients, such as Bilberry and Lotus Flower, contain flavonoids that have antioxidant properties more powerful than vitamin C in fighting free radicals, the number one cause of aging skin. This deep-cleansing formula leaves your skin feeling abundantly hydrated and squeaky clean.



Eucalyptus Toner - BALANCING SYSTEM STEP 2: effectively clears away congestion in your skin reducing pore size without the damaging effects of alcohol. Formulated with organic plant extracts, including Eucalyptus and Sage, this toner invigorates and protects your skin while helping to eliminate and minimize breakouts.



Balancing Cream - BALANCING SYSTEM STEP 3: a light moisturizer that utilizes the antiseptic and astringent properties of Thyme, Clove Flower and Cinnamon Bark to purify your skin and clear congestion. The powerful anti-aging properties of Argan Oil, which has twice the vitamin E of olive oil, reduces fine lines and wrinkles while boosting your skin’s natural collagen production. This cream uses Palm Kernel Oil to provide hydration and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth with a matte finish.



Orange Toner - AGE-DEFYING SYSTEM STEP 2: effectively minimizes pores while calming and refreshing your skin, with ingredients such as Mallow, Verbena, and Mistletoe, which also soothes and heals irritation and bumps caused by shaving and waxing, without the damaging effects of alcohol. Formulated with the anti-aging properties of Bitter Orange Leaf and Horsetail Leaf, this toner will boost circulation and rejuvenate the connective tissue of your skin.

What is the WONDERBAR?


The WONDERBAR, as the name suggests, is a revolutionary mixture of the Deep Moor from Austria and Chlorey’nahre- a proprietary ingredient in Wondeux products. When combined, these wonderful ingredients work their magic and do wonders on our skin!

Made from Heilmoor of Austria, this special mud or clay is created over 3000 years ago. It has the essence of over 700 herbs and plants. A controlled item, a good bar of MOOR essence can retail up to USD $300 in the European countries where it is well known for its benefits. (The less expensive ones found in the market are usually made from the water where they harvest the moor, not the moor clay itself.) Great for improving your skin’s health, the facial bar immediately works on your skin when you lather and apply it all over. The Heilmoor and Chlorey’nahre will penetrate your epidermis into the skin organ and one will experience a total detoxification. Just like giving your face a spa treatment!



Chlorey Nahre at work


Chlorey’nahre is a unique formulation derived from algae to keep your skin radiant. The use of nanotechnology to develop Chlorey’nahre results in quick & complete absorption into your dermis to help your skin stay supple, radiant and youthful. Chlorey’nahre also helps the skin become healthier and allows it to regain its natural ability to rejuvenate the cells quickly.

Because it works on detoxifying and bringing a balance back to your skin (baby-smooth skin again), it is suitable for all skin types! Be it oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, fair skin or dark skin, the WONDERBAR facial bar works on all skin types to restore balance giving your skin a radiant glow

The “Healing Crisis”


Some people may go through a Detox period also known as the “Healing Crisis”. As the Wonderbar works on repairing the skin to restore its balance, one may experience some itchiness, dryness, peeling or even breakouts. This happens as the toxins trapped under the skin are flushed out. Most skin care products you find on the market act to suppress toxins in the skin, preventing them from coming out (eg. cystic acne, blackheads, etc.). This hinders the skin from being healed completely. Most of us have used these products. The MOOR substance found in the Wonderbar (with the essence of over 700 herbs & plants), is extremely effective in flushing out all of these toxins that may have been trapped under the skin for many years.

Dehydration

Dehydration causes the skin to lose its radiance. This makes the skin more fragile and less effective in acting as a barrier against external irritants & infection.

Our advanced, unique algae, Chlorey’nahre, heals & protects your skin against dehydration, external irritants & pollutants.

The “Healing Crisis” indicates that the product is working. Whereas some may not experience it at all, which indicates there is not a lot to be flushed out.


The duration of the “Healing Crisis” may vary from one person to the other. Some will get through it in a few days and some a few weeks. Please continue usage and do not worry, as the Wonderbar is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.


Ultimately, after this period is over, a more youthful, healthy, radiant skin will be revealed. You will be amazed by the results!


Helpful Tips:

•Applying a plain moisturizer after each wash can help minimize the dryness brought on by the “Healing Crisis”

•Using too much moisturizer, on the other hand, will slow down the “Healing Crisis”; use only what you really need based on the dryness you are experiencing

•If symptoms persist, it may be caused by the combination of other products one is currently using with the bar that are chemically non-compatible


Let me tell you - this is a beauty treatment in a bar. I used it as directed and went through a mild healing crisis. My skin got very dry. I used coconut oil after every use to get through it. I was starting to get worried about the dry skin, but suddenly it stopped and it was like I had new skin - not only was my complexion refined, but my skin tone was far better as well - it was like a mini face lift or something.
 
Now, if I'm going out and want to look nice, I use the bar as a one time use beauty treatment, and my skin is taut, nicely colored, and visibly smooth.
 
You just moisten your hands lightly and work the bar until your hands feel like they have lotion on them. Smooth over face and neck like you would any soap or lotion, and allow to dry for 5 minutes. You don't use it in the shower because the point of it is for it to dry.
 
It's natural. No chemicals and does some pretty amazing stuff. With your favorite moisturizer, it could be the only skincare product you need.
 
Would make a perfect gift for any woman, anyone with skin concerns-Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis, teen with acne, health minded person who doesn't want chemicals in their products.
