1. Hi Valeria, how would you describe your skin?

VALERIA
I have a congested skin so I try to avoid soap-based formulas that strip the skin’s natural protective barrier and stick to more gentle products.

2 . What's your daily beauty routine? Is there any difference between morning and night?

VALERIA
Due to my skin type it’s vital for me to have a thorough cleansing routine and regular exfoliation. At night I do double cleansing with an oil cleanser to get rid of sunscreen or make-up followed by a soft milky cleanser. Then I use an alcohol-free and natural toner that helps to remove the dead skin. I do a gentle exfoliation twice a week and I finish with a light cream to nourish the skin. I think it is very important to follow a routine but overall to work from within to clear congested skin, that’s why I follow a healthy and balanced diet that I believe is the base of a healthy skin.

3 . Does it change when you travel?

VALERIA
I have my travel beauty bag with all my essentials but in addition to that, whenever I have a long flight I feel that my skin is very dehydrated, so I always carry a small mist spray to maintain hydration and moist during the flight.
“The best advice is definitely to use natural ingredients. My mom is almost 60 now and her skin looks incredible. She always taught me natural recipes to have a healthy skin. ”

4 . And when you want to give yourself a special treat?

VALERIA
I go to see my favourite facialist, Mariona Vilanova who has magic hands and uses organic products. She works with a mix of different manual techniques and tools, it’s a whole holistic experience!

5 . What's your vision of beauty?

VALERIA
Beauty should be as natural as possible. I believe it’s a combination of a balanced diet, exercise and using natural products adapted to your skin’s needs.

6 . How do you take care of your hair?

VALERIA
To avoid frizz I use nourishing shampoo and conditioner and once a week, a hair mask. After the shower I apply a few drops of oil, usually Argan or Avocado, on my hair ends for extra hydration and a wavy effect.
ROWSE

7 . What are your favourite ROWSE products?

VALERIA
One of my favourite products is the Winter Body Oil, I love the smell and how it deeply nourishes dry skin. I also like that it’s easily absorbed and doesn’t leave the skin sticky.
“I feel it is also important to approach the daily beauty routine as a ritual, to have time to ourselves with no rush”
ROWSE

8 . A sense of balance is always present in your designs. How important is the idea ofequilibrium to your daily life?

VALERIA
Balance is very important to me. I am interested in the shape itself, not so much the external aspect of whether it is decorative or not, but the relationship of the piece with the space that surrounds it. There has to be a balance between the void and the matter. And I suppose that it is reflected in my life and in my surroundings, I like to live in clean spaces where there is a certain harmony and lightness, where natural light is very important. During the creative process I can be quite chaotic though, I think it is also necessary.
