This is the £9 product that so many celebrities swear by, and it’s the secret to Beyoncé and Meghan Markle’s glow

Celebrities: they’re just like us, right? Well, not really. But from time to time, even the A-listers love an affordable beauty must-have; one of which is Eucerin’s Aquaphor, a soothing balm that’ll set you back less than a tenner at Boots. Yes, really.

You may know Eucerin’s Aquaphor Skin Soothing Balm for its less ‘sexy’ attributes; it can soothe sensitivity, aid cracked skin, and target dry, chapped areas using its heavyweight trio of nourishing ingredients Panthenol, Glycerin and Bisabolol.

But Eucerin’s balm isn’t just handy for dry heels or chapped lips; it’s also been known to add an enviable glow to the complexion, and rumour has it, plenty of A-listers are firmly on board with the £9 product.

Meghan Markle’s go-to makeup artist Daniel Martin — who’s responsible for The Duchess’ gorgeous bridal look — for example, revealed in recent years that he turns to the balm for highlighting.

“A lot of my highlighting is done with skincare,” he previously told E! Online, before adding: “When you think about it, using skincare in lieu of makeup makes sense. For one, you’re adding hydration to the skin, rather than potentially clogging your pores.”

“And, glowing skin is simply the appearance of very healthy and moisturised skin. Aquaphor will give you that same texture, especially in a photo when applied on the high points of the face.”

As if you needed any further convincing, Markle is not the only celebrity who’s been linked to the product. Even Beyoncé is not immune to the allure of Aquaphor, telling Elle back in 2010 that she applies it onto her face before bed.

Other stars who love a bit of Aquaphor include Lucy Liu, Debra Messing, Khloe Kardashian, and Nicole Kidman, who in 2013 even compared the humble elixir to none other than La Mer’s £100+ cult cream. “It costs nothing and it’s amazing for dry skin, which I have. I put it on my face and it’s very, very good,” she said of Eucerin’s balm for Allure.

In short, if you’d not already realised, you need this cream in your beauty arsenal. Luckily, it costs just £9 and you can grab it at your local Boots or online at boots.com. See you there.
