My skin and I have a pretty good thing going on. I don’t always treat it the best, but I try. We have tried our share of beauty products over the years but, I have a pretty good idea of what works. In the last few years, I have been more drawn to skincare made of natural and/or organic ingredients. For me it boiled down to this. My skin is my largest organ, I should really be paying attention to what I’m putting on it.
I was offered the chance to try Valentia Even Glow Serum,Ā an antioxidant treatment, my first thought was to check out the ingredients. I was happy to find that this product is full of natural ingredients like green tea extract with a vitamin C base. It promises to repair, refresh and renew skin. Hello anti-aging!
I was up for the challenge and decided to give it a whirl. Here’s my skin before I started using the serum.
I decided to give the product a week and see if I noticed a difference. The directions state to wash your face as normal and then add the serum after patting your face. Then you let the serum dry and apply our moisturizer. The serum comes with a dropper and it’s got a pretty good consistency.
The serum is supposed to even skin tone, boost collagen production and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Hi fives for all of that!
It goes on smooth too. Once I put my moisturizer on over it, my face had that lovely, dewy look. You know, the one where your face looks hydrated! I love that! That’s the goal with my face at all times. Here’s what my skin looks like after using the serum for a week.
I do think my skin looks brighter. My neighbor actually stopped me this week to compliment me on my skin. I’d say it’s working. I’ll keep using the Valentia serum and consider making it a part of my regular daily regimen. You can check it out for yourself here.
What’s your skin care regimen? Any must-have products to share? I’m listening…

Wow, you are actually glowing. I can see a big difference.

I love using facial serums but I don’t always use one. Primarily because of all the steps it requires during the night. I’ve skipped the serum step but I definitely notice a nicer feel when I use one. Your skin looks sooo good.
I haven’t done serums in awhile. I need to get back in the habit. Your skin is glowing!
