Amanda told Prima last year that there's a secret moisturiser she's been using for years, and it's this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, which is currently up for grabs for £28 from Lookfantastic.
In her interview, Amanda discussed the skincare gem, saying: "This is the one beauty product I’ve bought on repeat throughout my life," Holden goes on to say: "I think it’s great as a lip gloss because it doesn’t just sit on top of your lips like many others do, or as a moisturiser". The skincare marvel in question is designed to visibly calm and nourish chapped, cracked, and dry skin while soothing the appearance of roughness, redness, and minor irritations. Not only does it promise to soothe and revitalise dry and irritated skin, perfect during the colder months, but this luxurious cream has also been praised throughout the years by beauty editors, make-up artists and celebrities alike for its wonderous ability to nourish, restore and brighten any skintone.
Created in 1930 to soothe skin, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant became an instant and overwhelming success. It remains a beloved cream in the skincare arsenals of famous faces and beauty shoppers nearly 100 years after its creation. The cream uses a combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy in one of its first cosmetic uses, and vitamin E, to make it an apricot-coloured balm that delivers effective and beneficial rescue for emergency skin moments - something that is likely handy for Amanda while she's filming in hot, dry climates.
And it isn't just the TV host that adores this cream, Lookfantastic shoppers have poured in hundreds of 5-star reviews. One satisfied customer beams: "Love this cream, I use it as a product barrier at night, it leaves me waking up with glass skin, smells like a spa in a tube.". More love comes from this skincare shopper who raves: "My skin gets quite dry in the winter, especially around my nose, which leaves my foundation looking quite patchy in places. Moisturising with this and leaving it on overnight solved this problem and makes my foundation sit so much better on my skin. Couldn’t be without it!".
Another 5-star rater shares: "I have never used this brand before but this cream is gorgeous. First pump and I loved the subtle scent which reminded me of having a salon facial treatment. Went on and absorbed beautifully. My skin felt so soft after first use. I had no problem applying make up over the top of it. Used overnight I woke with a lovely dewy glow. Very impressed by this product and now interested in trying more from this brand.".
And a fourth notes: "I’m never without it. It’s super thick, but the moisturising properties are off the scale. It’s the best thing I’ve ever used for my lips at night, better than even this brands own lip balm. It’s good for hardworking hands, very dry skin, and good for setting eyebrows, minor grazes … just read the back of the bottle. And it lasts forever. Just fab.". If you want to join Amanda and grab a tube of this must-have skincare marvel, you can grab 50ml for £28 from Lookfantastic, or head over to Boots where it's available for £31. Or, if you act fast, you can catch a bargain over at Amazon as it's on sale for £18.94.
