Wow wow wow no more Elemis for me.” Among the other products released in the latest launch include the Lacura Honey Bath (£5.99), Hotel Collection Massage Candle (£4.99), Zen Collection Candle and Reed Diffusers (£3.99), Nivea Normal/Dry Wipes/Lip Balms Twin (£2.49), and Pantene Serum and Mask (£2.49).
The Weleda Skin Food currently sells for £14.95 at Boots, and is a part of the retailer’s Love Island collection. The brand has been providing the contestants in the villa with a range of beauty and skincare products over the past few years as the show’s official partner.
It has a 4.7 out of five star rating from 3,228 reviews. TheresaM commented: “So luscious and smells divine. Like a thick butter that soaks into your skin.” Chanel said: “Good product. Good hydration. A gel based product like this would be great to buy for extra hydration below the skin barrier.”
However, Alisha wrote: “Really good for dry skin. Not good for oily skin as will break u out with big spots as it is such a thick oily cream. Can be used as a primer but doesn’t fill in your pores so is not that good. However it can be used b4 foundation to help make up to stick.”
All Stars’ star Molly Smith has been spotted using the Weleda Skin Food in the villa, and has been lauded by previous contestants, such as Molly-Mae Hague and Olivia Attwood. Amazon currently has an offer on the much-loved product, where it will set you back just £8.54.
Alternatively, you can get the The INKEY List Vitamin B, C and E Lightweight Daily Face Moisturiser to Keep Skin Healthy 50ml on Amazon for £7.98, the online retailer’s top choice. It has a 4.4 out of five star rating. However, the site’s best selling product in the ‘face day care cream’ is the CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin 340g with Hyaluronic Acid & 3 Essential Ceramides, which is priced at £12.
