*Although I was compensated for this review, I’ve enjoyed the 30-day Balanced Skin Challenge with Tula.  My thoughts and opinions of the TULA skin care line are all mine.*

A few weeks ago TULA sent me their entire line and I was given the opportunity to try TULA for 30-days and give weekly surveys on how my skin is doing.  For some reason once I turned 40 (last year) my skin just decided to revert back to my teenage years.  Why Lawd why?!?!  Now I’ve finally gotten things under control but have been left with a few dark spots.  Also as we age, the collagen in our skin, that is, the supportive structure, starts to break down and it’s more difficult for our skin to build it back up again.  Also, the supportive subcutaneous fat, which supports our skin, we tend to lose that with age.  This makes our skin much thinner.  And we all know thinner looking skin will make you look SUPER old!

Tula means balance.  The concept of the line is that we need to take care of our insides to look good on the
outside.  That  feeling beautiful on the outside can improve how we feel on the inside.  The line specifically incorporates a patented Probiotic Technology, which is quite unusual in skin care products.  Recent studies have shown that the topical use of probiotics stimulates skin’s protective mechanism, improves moisture and the balance of the “good” bacteria on the skin’s. Which I definitely noticed a balance in my skin’s moisture level.  I have mostly oily skin so of course sometimes I would skimp on properly moisturizing my face because…well it just made it feel oilier!  But what I have noticed is that my skin is super hydrated now and doesn’t feel greasy by the end of the day.
