One of the biggest shopping events of the year is in full swing, and it certainly isn't disappointing - especially where excellent beauty buys are concerned. Yes, this year's Amazon Prime Day sale could be the best yet. There's been unmissable deals from some of the best names (and products) in the business - think huge savings on the Dyson Airwrap and the Braun IPL Hair Removal Tool.
Much to the delight of skincare aficionados, the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm has also secured its place in the sale. Now priced at £34.91 (down from £49) it's a make-up removing hero adored by celebrities the world over - Cara Delevingne and Victoria Beckham are said to be fans.
Described by the brand as ‘a nourishing cleansing balm that melts away make-up, daily pollutants and impurities for a soft and glowing complexion,’ it does what it says on the tub. If a thoroughly cleansed (and a brighter, more beautiful complexion) is your MO, then this is one deal you won't want to miss. Our advice? This is set to sell-out fast, so hit that check out button while stocks last.
Shop: Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
29% off
Made to ‘nourish as a balm, easily remove makeup as a cleansing oil and hydrate as a cleansing milk’ the Elemis Cleansing Balm is far from just your basic wash and go. It’s formulated with several skincare heroes. Read: Elderberry oil which is rich in essential fatty acids to bolster tired complexions, starflower oil (the richest natural source of gamma linolenic acid) to maintain healthy skin turnover and padina pavonica (a type of algae) to support hydration.
Rachael Martin beauty director says: ‘A big claim, but I can safely say that this is my favourite cleansing balm of all time. It starts off as a solid formula but melts into a slightly milky, balmier texture that applies beautifully and doesn’t drag on the skin. I’ll work it into my complexion and watch as my make-up (including waterproof mascara) melts away. I have oily skin, and typically a balm has been known to break me out, but this one doesn’t. I use as the first step in my double cleansing routine alongside a gel-based cleanser and I’m rigorous about ensuring any remnants are swept off my skin promptly. This prevents any blocked pores. My skin is far from perfect, but now that I’ve adopted a more Elemis consistent skincare routine I’ve seen a marked improvement in how it looks – it’s brighter, smoother and bouncier. And although I still battle with redness, I do have less spots and blemishes. And the scent, oh, the scent! Delicate but deliciously aromatic, it leaves your face wash routine feeling that touch more special. Would recommend.’ Read my full review here.
