Skin Food X Val Garland
Legendary makeup artist Val Garland is partnering with Weleda this year as official ambassador for our Skin Food Centenary, bringing her expertise, bold creativity, and sense of fun to the party as we celebrate this incredible milestone for our iconic Skin Food: 100 years of loving skin.
"As a makeup artist, there are a handful of products I always keep in my kit, and Skin Food is one. It’s easy to see why Skin Food has stood the test of time. It’s my ‘iconic multi-tasker’ - a truly hybrid product (before such a term existed) that can be relied upon to do exactly what you need. I use it to prep the skin for that healthy, natural glow. I tap it onto cheekbones as a highlight or smooth it over dry patches. I even use it to refresh and revive makeup throughout the day."

Instantly recognisable and a household name for BBC viewers as the judge and host of the television series ‘Glow Up’, and beloved by the beauty industry as a skilled professional and authoritative voice, Val herself a long-time fan of Skin Food, which makes the partnership even more authentic and credible.
Val will feature in upcoming Skin Food celebrations and events, including a summer Makeup Masterclass, and the launch of a special-edition ‘VALidated Skin Food’ launching in September. This year-long collaboration will really reinforce Skin Food’s status as the multi-tasking beauty essential.
"So why do we all love it? Basically, because it works. And more importantly, it has never compromised on the quality of its ingredients. When a brand stays true to that, it builds real trust. Over time, it becomes a product people quietly rely on, and continue to come back to. I also love that it’s not a trend-chasing product yet always remains current."
