Review: Living Nature Balancing Day Lotion


After last months review of the Exfoliating Peel from Living Nature, I really wanted to try out more from the New Zealand brand.

I'd been using up samples of moisturiser for about a month so though I'd pick the Living Nature Balancing Day Lotion* RRP £30 for 50ml as my last review for MyPure.


The word balancing was what hooked me. I need something to balance out my combination skin and hoped that this day lotion would be as much of a hit with me as the peel.

This is a lightweight lotion that sinks in quickly, with a subtle woodland aroma. It works to restore moisture balance thanks to Manuka Honey and Squaline. Totara  (a tree that only grows in New Zealand) extract helps to neutralise free-radicals.

Its is much more of a light lotion than I had been expecting and I only need a teeny tiny blob to sufficiently moisturise my face and neck after toning. It feels likes its working straight off and makes me think that I had been using face creams that were a bit too rich.
Saying that however, I think I might be moving into the wrong season to be using it!
I really wish I had picked this a few months back when the sun was out and my skin didn't need as much hydration. With the change of season, my skin needs more than this lotion is able to provide.

I'm not wow'd by the lotion but I think that has more to do with the fact I'm using it in the wrong season. I'll continue using it in the mornings and just add a drop of oil to it so my dry patches get some attention!

You can buy Living Nature Balancing Day Lotion from the MyPure site here.

    1. I'm saving the cleanser until I've finished the three that I'm almost out of haha! Yeah, think it'll be brilliant for summer but dont want to waste it now as I don't think it'll last until next year! x
