Slim and Tone Your Body with Melvita!

The holiday season can definitely do a number on our bodies, from all of the amazing holiday food, to the fact that so many of us use the holidays as an excuse not to work out, that usually means that come January, we realize that we only have a few short months to get back to beach ready.  I don’t think I’m alone is dreading January for that very reason…right? 

I love to eat and I hate to work out, so that usually means that I spend lots of time and too much effort finding ways to cheat my way back into shape…that almost never works out for me by the way.  While I do seem to have a hard time finding a product that just magically makes me look like a Victoria’s Secret swimsuit model (I’m beginning to think such a product doesn’t exist) I do love products that help get me on track and ready for swimsuit season, products like those from Melvita!

If you’re not familiar with familiar with the Melvita brand, here’s the scoop…

Beekeeper and biologist Bernard Chevilliat, founded Melvita in 1983 as a way to offer the masses cosmetics without all of the chemicals that are in most traditional cosmetics.  Melvita has been a pioneer in the organic and natural cosmetics and has grown to become one of France’s leading organic brands.  In addition to the authenticity, the ethical approach that Melvita takes with its products, it's founder Bernard Chevilliat’s passion  that helps set Melvita apart from their competition. 

When I was approached to do a review for Melvita’s Algascience Contouring Serum, I couldn’t resist trying it out, after all, it does say that it helps your body look more lean and toned and who wouldn’t want to try a slimming and toning serum?  I also love that Melvita’s products are organic skincare products that are good for my skin and not full of the chemicals that most traditional skin care brands contain! 

About Algascience Contouring Serum from Melvita…

Inspired by Slimming Chronobiology, the Algascience Contouring Serum is the first serum that takes into account the biological rhythms of the body. Formulated with an exclusive 3-seaweed complex, it provides multi-action effectiveness. Coralline, an "intelligent" active ingredient, promotes fat burning during the day and helps prevent fat storage at night. Palmaria provides draining action, while Fucus and Caffeine offer contouring properties. The 3-seaweed complex helps reduce the build-up of fatty deposits and improves skin firmness and tone.

Algascience Contouring Serum, offers superior anti-cellulite benefits and improves skin’s firmness by 78%.  Apply the serum day and night to trouble areas such as the stomach area, hips, thighs, in a clinical study, 94% of volunteers saw a reduction in fatty tissue!

I’ve only been using the Algascience Contouring Serum for a little less than 2 weeks, but I swear I can tell a difference in the firmness of my skin.  While true results will only appear after using the serum for several weeks, I can tell a difference in the way my skin feels so I can’t wait to see how well the product performs after I’ve been using it a little longer.  I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated with results soon!

Melvita: Organic Skin Care At Its Best!

As a mother of four, using natural products whenever possible is very important to me.  Using products made from natural organic ingredients for my family is extremely important to me and  finding products for myself that are all natural is an added bonus.  Finding a company whose commitment to organic and natural ingredients is always refreshing and one such company that I recently had the pleasure of learning about is  Melvita!

 

MELVITA is a company that was founded on one mans love of the French countryside and his passion for  beekeeping. 

 

From the Melvita website:

 

In 1977, Bernard Chevilliat, Biologist and lover of the open countryside, moved to the Ardèche. Located in South-central France, it is named after the Ardèche river, and is known for its wide-open spaces, limestone cliffs, and stone arches. Soon after arriving, beekeeping became his main passion. With help from his Wife and Brother, they grew this hobby to over five hundred hives, on an isolated farm in the middle of the countryside.

In 1983, they founded MELVITA and developed their first natural organic beauty product based on ingredients from the hive. Starting with Melvita’s famous hexagonal soap, they moved on to shampoo, milks and creams, floral waters, plant oils, etc.

In 2002, Melvita was one of the first companies in the world to earn the ECOCERT certificate for organic products. Becoming the global trend-setter for natural organic beauty products.

Today, Melvita has over 250 employees, is available in over 20 countries, and is the number one certified organic beauty brand in France. Having previously served as Chairman, Bernard Chevilliat is now Vice-chairman of the COSMEBIO Inter-professional Association.

 

Melvita’s philosophy is simple!

 

*  Producing products that meet the strictest natural and organic standard.

* Respecting nature and  using only the best ingredients from organically farmed and responsibly        harvested sourced.

* A zero tolerance policy for cruelty and animal testing.

*  Packaging their products in packaging that is completely recyclable.

*  A pro-active approach to sustainable development, with preservation of environmental: beauty, biodiversity, and balance.

*  Melvita does their part to promote ethical, humane, and fair-trade partnerships.

*  Pleasure, effectiveness, and attractiveness are central to their cosmetics requirements.

 

I’ve been a fan of organic skin care products for some time now, I feel that the products are better made with an attention to detail and quality that most national brands don’t seem to have.  I love knowing that I’m using a product that is all natural and organic, with ingredients that I can actually pronounce…that goes a long way in making me feel good about what I’m putting on my skin!  Melvita has a whole line of natural organic skin care products, from organic sunscreen and baby care items to beehive products and even all natural organic products for the man in your life!  My mom always swore by honey and it’s ability to give you amazing skin, I suppose she was really on to something! 

 

I’ve heard for years now how effective oils can be for skin care, but never realized that there were so many natural oils that did amazing things for the skin, until I checked out Melvita.  One such oil is one of Melvita’s best sellers, organic argan oil.  “Indigenous to the Moroccan forest, Argan tree kernals have been harvested for centuries for their many miraculous benefits. Rich in Vitamin E, this oil is ideal in protecting skin and hair from premature aging, UV exposure, and other environmental factors.   A true regenerator, Argan Oil is often used as a moisturizer for dry skin and to smooth dry, damaged hair.”  I don’t know about you, but anything that helps promote young, healthy looking skin and hair is definitely worth looking into!

 

Of course, Melvita has many more natural and organic products to help you maintain healthy, beautiful skin and hair.  If you’re as committed to using natural organic products as I am then I definitely recommend that you check out Melvita…you’ll be so glad that you did!
