We Tried: Garnier Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer

At the end of each summer and the dawn of a new year, we discover a new enthusiasm (with solutions to match) for a healthier lifestyle and healthier skin. This includes not only swapping sugary drinks for green juices and spending more time at the gym, but it also includes taking care of your skin to give it a healthy glow. Target? A radiant complexion that could stand on its own without makeup. After months of accumulation of dead skin cells, as well as dirt, pollution and other damage, the change in appearance of these effects will not happen overnight. So while you work on transforming your skin for the New Year, add a moisturizer to your skincare regimen that instantly gives it a natural glow. And not just a moisturizer, but a Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer. After getting a free sample from our friends at Garnier, we tried the Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer.

Review of Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer

Healthy looking skin can be achieved over time, not overnight. After all, all this damage had been building up for months, so it couldn't be expected to disappear in just a few hours. Adhering to the right skincare regimen can help you achieve these long-term results, but at the same time, you can achieve temporary radiance with radiance-boosting moisturizers like Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer. 

BENEFITS 

So what can Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer do for your skin? Formulated with apricot extract and luminous pearls, this formula delivers an instant natural radiance and leaves skin hydrated and makeup-ready. With continued use, expect smoother, healthier skin.

Another benefit? The sheer, versatile shade of the formula works well on all skin tones, leaving behind a naturally radiant finish. What's more, the formula is free of mineral oils, parabens, silicones and dyes. What it contains is 96% natural ingredients. Garnier considers an ingredient to be natural if it has not been altered from its natural state or processed, but retains 50% of its molecular structure from its original natural source.

HOW TO USE IT 

There are several ways you can use Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer in your daily skincare routine. 

1. As a daily moisturizer: Apply evenly to clean skin for an instant glow. You can follow the makeup or wear it by yourself!
2. As a primer: Apply evenly before makeup as a base for seamless makeup application.

As mentioned, the universal shade of the moisturizer blends perfectly with all skin tones.

MY REVIEW

I decided to try the Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Illuminating Moisturizer over the weekend, as that's when I like to let my skin breathe and get rid of makeup, yet still have a fresh, dewy complexion. After cleansing my skin and applying this moisturizer, I noticed that my skin had a slight healthy glow. My skin was instantly filled with moisture that lasted all day, looking dewy and incredibly smooth. I decided not to put on full make-up. I look forward to seeing this radiant moisturizer as a permanent addition to my skincare arsenal.
