About a year ago, I made the discovery that I had dry skin. To be honest, I can’t take any of the kudos. My new aesthetician deserves all the credit and has really helped me to understand my new type. I know so much more about my skin’s needs, and what types of products work best for use on a regular basis.
One of the most important things she taught me is that quality ingredients are a must and consistency is key! Keep reading to learn about the Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer, and how it has quickly become a staple in my daily skincare routine💙
I am no stranger to the skin care brand, Valentia. This vegan and cruelty free brand is really doing an amazing job with developing skincare that is natural and free of toxins and parabens. Their True Glow Eye Cream, Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask & Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask are all regulars in my skin care routine as well, with blog posts of their very own😊
This moisturizer boasts some pretty serious abilities.

Skin moisture is replenished and protected with Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Safflower and Shea Butter. Tired and dull looking skin is restored to unveil a healthier, more vibrant glow!”
~Valentia Skin Care
Even if all I do is splash water on my face in the morning, I cannot go out the front door without eye cream and moisturizer. This Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer is lightweight enough for everyday use, both morning and night. Sometimes I do reach for something a little more powerful for night time moisturization, but this moisturizer fits right in to my beauty rituals. I tend to do 2-3 nights with this moisturizer, and one night with more of a deep moisturizer.
I happen to love Valentia’s packaging…the dark bottle with gold and white label is so clean & chic! I also happen to love the style of their pump…Dispensing is super easy and the amount of product that comes out with one pump is perfect. I hate a pump that dispenses way too much, what a waste of product and money!
This cruelty free & vegan moisturizer is packed with natural power 💚
Directions are pretty straight forward, but just in case, let’s review😏 Dispense 1-2 pumps and apply all over face, neck, and decollete. This would be the final step of your skincare routine and/or right before makeup. Whenever I am going to put makeup, which isn’t very often, I like to let all my skincare dry before I start applying any makeup. This moisturizer is lightweight and fast absorbing so really helps to cut down on prep time when those magical makeup days arise💖
