Helen Mirren's makeup artist relies on a £9 cream to combat wrinkling around the eyes. The Weleda Skin Food, typically £15.95, is now 40% off at Holland & Barrett for £9.41.
Celebrity-Approved Skincare
The cream has a celebrity following, including Helen Skelton. Her makeup artist Nancy Spencer applies it as a base and primer for red carpet events. Mirren's makeup artist told Good Housekeeping: "With mature skin, it's all about texture. So you want that fine veil of coverage, but you don't want to see texture around your eyes. You don't want to see that wrinkling."
Formulated with organic sunflower seed oil, pansy extract, and chamomile extract, it deeply moisturises and restores dry, cracked skin. Weleda describes it as a 'year-round skin saviour'.
Sale and Alternatives
Holland & Barrett's summer sale also includes 50% off Hairburst Shampoo and Conditioner bundle (£15), hydrating eye cream with coffee oil (£10.99), and Revive Collagen drinks (£44.88). Alternatives include Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base (£40.50 at LookFantastic) and Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream (£15.15 on Amazon).
Shoppers rave about Weleda Skin Food: "Literally the best cream for mature skin!" and "I had a flaky patch that healed in two weeks." Some criticise the new metal tube packaging but praise the product's effectiveness.
The sale runs online until June 16.
