Cat Deeley swears by £31 beauty icon behind the scenes on TV
The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant is a 'holy grail' in several celebrity and MUA makeup bags Cat Deeley often gives her followers a sneak peek behind the scenes of This Morning, from her daily outfit checks to banter with co-host Ben Shephard. But earlier this month, she posted a clip applying a well known product in the ad break, and beauty lovers everywhere took note. In a clip posted to Instagram Stories, the stylish presenter was seen applying the cult favourite Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant. The £31 skincare staple has long had a loyal following spanning generations, with Cat joining a long list of celebrities who keep it in their makeup kit. For Cat, who presents the show each morning Monday to Thursday, it's a smart addition to her beauty bag. Sitting under the bright studio lights, constant talking and air con would wreak havoc on anyone's skin, so it's no wonder she needs something reliable, restorative and multi-functional. And that's exactly what this skincare classic delivers. Originally formulated by Elizabeth Arden herself in 1930, the Eight Hour Cream has become a global bestseller thanks to its powerful healing properties. This multi-tasking balm is said to visibly calm, restore, and protect chapped, cracked and dry skin, while helping to soothe redness and minor irritations. The apricot-coloured formula is made with petrolatum, vitamin E, and a beta-hydroxy compound, ingredients that together offer deep nourishment and promote healing. Its versatility is what makes it so popular, as it can be used to moisturise lips like Cat, or to soften dry cuticles, elbows and even heal superficial burns. It can also be used to tame flyaway hairs and add shine to a makeup look. But Elizabeth Arden isn't the only brand with a do-it-all salve. In fact, Korean beauty brand Wonderbalm's hero product is the best-selling skincare item on British Airways flights thanks to its rich, multi-purpose formula. British Airways has seen a 20% monthly sales increase, even outperforming some liquor brands. Weleda Skin Food is another top choice made with natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil, lanolin and chamomile. It's an ultra-rich formula and more of a cream than a balm, too, ideal for using on hands, as an overnight mask or anywhere that needs some extra TLC. The £31 formula has earned an impressive 4.81 star rating on LookFantastic, where shoppers have praised its seemingly endless uses. 'This lasts a really long time as a lip balm for me - love it,' said one, while a second penned: 'This is my favourite cream for my face, I have such dry skin and this works miracles.' Another added: 'The only thing that heals my cracked lips and you only need a tiny amount.' 'Always in my stash. Great left on as an overnight mask. Perfect for dry lips. it Aided with healing a superficial burn. I have not tried for all 8 uses, but I would still highly recommend purchasing,' wrote another. Some have been less keen on the formula due to its fragrance and texture, one commented: 'Cream was not how I expected. Was not a fan of the smell or texture. Ended up giving to my friend to use ' another penned: 'Good product, really helps with my dry skin but it takes a while to soak in.' But for many, it's a 'holy grail handbag product', with another customer adding: 'Has so many uses! It's the best for soothing dry skin on hands.' It really does seem to be a beloved product, with the likes of Louise Thompson and Prince Harry also fans. With long hours of filming and frequent makeup touch-ups, it's no wonder Cat relies on Eight Hour Cream to keep her lips camera-ready. Shoppers can pick up the £31 cream at LookFantastic here.

Nourishing £8 hand cream called ‘fantastic for gardeners' and ‘go-to for very dry hands'
If working outdoors this spring has got your hands feeling especially dry and chapped, this hardworking hand cream has become a must-have for shoppers for soothing sore skin Hand cream should really be used all year round – your hands can never be too hydrated – but if this time of year sees you spending time working in the garden, whatever the weather, then you might find your hands becoming particularly dry and chapped. Luckily, we've got the perfect solution. The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector has been a favourite with gardeners for years, men and women, and has amassed thousands of five star reviews from customers calling it "the best hand cream". It's available to buy in 30ml or 100ml tubes on The Body Shop website, starting from £8. Loved by men as well as women, it's also a great idea for a Father's Day gift if you're starting to think ahead to June, and your dad is green-fingered. Promising up to an impressive 96 hours of moisture, this super-rich yet non-greasy formula contains hemp seed oil for intense nourishment. One of The Body Shop's bestsellers, it has over 8,000 five star reviews on the brand's website, including some of the following high praise: "I have very dry hands because I love gardening and am always washing them. I have found this hand cream absolutely the very best. I always buy it," one repeat customer wrote, while another agreed that it's "fantastic for gardeners hard working hands". "This is my go to for very dry hands - nothing else comes close," another person commented. "Works quickly and absorbs well." Meanwhile a third review reads: "This must be the best hand cream ever. Works immediately to improve the appearance of your hands." Another happy shopper reinforced the fact that men love it too, writing: " My husband loves this product as he has very dry hands from work and it actually helps." A few people, however, have knocked a star off their reviews for the product's smell, as the scent of hemp might not be for everyone ("I would give 5 star but I don't like the smell." one four star review reads). If it's a gorgeous fragrance you're after from your hand cream, I can't recommend L'Occitane Almond Delicious Hands Cream enough; this Amanda range smells incredible, and this hand cream is currently on sale, reduced from £20 to £16. Another super-nourishing option for ultra-dry hands is Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, £25, which is formulated with avocado oil, eucalyptus oil and sesame seed oil. And although a different, richer texture to typical hand creams, cult classic Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, now £24.80, is a favourite amongst NHS workers for using on their hands, and a tube will last for ages.
