This festive season is brimming with beauty gifts, and if you’re trying to limit your spending, This Morning’s Nadine Baggott has got you covered with some wallet-friendly finds.
On ITV’s popular daytime programme last Thursday (December 5), the 60 year old beauty fan revealed her top picks for “must-have” Christmas beauty treats, spanning from skincare favourites to fragrances. Kicking off her selection was The Inkey List’s Bio-Active Ceramide Enriched Moisturiser, retailing at £19.
Packed with potent bio-active ceramides, this affordable moisturiser promises to fortify the skin’s barrier and diminish early signs of ageing. Nadine described the cream as “absolutely brilliant” and a “perfect for winter skin” remedy.
While discussing with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, she confessed: “It’s my favourite launch of the year.”
Nadine isn’t alone in her admiration for this £19 skincare item. Over on The Inkey List’s website, the product has upwards of 800 five-star reviews from satisfied customers, many reporting noticeable improvements after minimal use.
A delighted user named Helen raved: “LOVE! ! ! Not only has it brightened my skin but it feels much more hydrated and plump which is a huge benefit for me during the winter! I really love the perfume free smell, I have sensitive skin so again…big bonus for me! “.
Another satisfied customer commented: “Incredible results in just over two weeks. I absolutely love the rich formula and non greasy texture of the moisturiser. It is beautiful to apply and absorbs extremely well. It fairs well under makeup too which is a bonus. The improvements to my skin’s appearance and feel are very impressive.”
Yet, not everyone was as thrilled, with another user pointing out: “I think it’s too thick for my combination-oily skin and I definitely couldn’t wear it during the day. I think people with dry-skin would find this much better. I do like using it during the night and my skin is plump and soft when I wake up the next day.”
With mainly positive feedback, The Inkey List Ceramide Enriched Moisturiser is proving popular. This sought-after product was among the products recommended by Nadine on last Thursday’s episode of This Morning.
As reported by The Mirror during an exclusive chat with senior beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham, Nadine divulged: “I don’t use prescription skincare as I have pretty normal, mature skin, but I have a big soft spot for a retinal. Retinal is the strongest form of vitamin A you can get on the market prior to prescription skincare and my favourite is this one from Medik8.”
The buzz is all about Medik8’s Crystal Retinal, retailing at £45, renowned for its tiered system starting from 1 and escalating through CR3, 6, 10 to 20.
For those seeking other ceramide-infused moisturisers, Dr.Jart+ Ceramidin Ectoin-Infused Cream is a popular alternative, retailing at £56. On the other hand, The Ordinary’s Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides offers a budget-friendly option at just £9.60.
