If you are on the hunt for a clever beauty must-have that is guaranteed to make your money stretch, what you need is a multi-tasker. The right one can save you time, streamline your already elaborate beauty routine (guilty as charged) and hopefully save you some cash by combining multiple steps into one, too. Lost? Allow us to introduce you to the Curél Deep Moisture Spray, £13.89.
It's made the rounds on TikTok for good reason. Loaded with micro-ceramides to help maintain a healthy skin barrier, this ultra-fine moisturising spray imparts a featherweight, breathable veil of hydration which quickly absorbs into the skin sans any icky, greasy residue. It is also enriched with nourishing castor oil and protective eucalyptus leaf extract, to help soothe and fortify skin.
The best part? It can be used on the skin and body on days when you are feeling extra lazy. Because sometimes moisturising can be a faff, especially post-shower. After a long, tiresome day, when you've just about managed get in the shower to wash the day away, it can be a struggle to then slather your body in lotion, but this spray makes the chore a doddle.
Take it from Hannah Banks-Walker, Grazia's head of fashion commerce: 'I'm not afraid to admit that I'm quite lazy when it comes to moisturising. I'm pretty devoted to my facial skincare routine but, when it comes to post-shower care, I'm normally in a rush and don't have the time to lather on lovely creams and wait for them to make my skin smoother,' she says.
'When I discovered Curel's moisture spray, therefore, I was – and this is no exaggeration – elated. Admittedly I was skeptical at first – I've tried many, many beauty products which make grandiose promises, only to under-deliver when put to the test. This one, however, does exactly what it says on the tin (well, can). After my morning shower, I spray it onto dry skin, wait for about four seconds for it to dry and then get dressed. My skin is instantly softer and feels nourished and, having already used an entire can of the stuff, I can attest to the fact that it makes skin smoother, too.
'In the winter, it even works on dry elbows, knees or wherever you feel you need the most hydration. Despite its super-moisturising properties, it's still a light spray, so you can even use it under (or over) make-up – I've often reached for it in the afternoon when my face feels a bit dry and tired and it acts like an instant pick-me-up. I know we're all used to editors raving about beauty products but I really do mean it when I say that this is a marvel. I've recommended it to all my friends and I dread the day I run out and don't have a back-up supply within arm's reach.'
