Spanish skincare! Who knew!!

France is famous for their skincare, wherever you go in France there are pharmacies and perfumeries everywhere with every conceivable product from the most expensive to budget. But, I bet you didn’t think that Spain was the same!
I discovered this when (before Brexit) we used to drive down and spend our summers by Valencia with our little dog.
The fantastic, cool supermarkets are full of great makeup and skincare, beautifully displayed, clean (!) and easily accessible. The face creams are particularly excellent. Often for about €5.

Then, I was amazed when I saw Biovene from Barcelona, popping up all over the place here!   So, I had to try it all, didn’t I?

‘The mission of Biovène Barcelona is to make prestigious, high quality, and natural beauty products accessible to everyone, in order to allow more people to feel better in their lives and be inspired by this positive view and impact on the quality of our lives and our planet.
