The Duchess of Sussex recently revealed that the ultra affordable Skin Food moisturiser is amongst her favourite beauty products, and it just got discounted to under £12
If you’ve ever wondered what Meghan Markle’s beauty routine looks like, you need wonder no more, because she just gave fans an insight into some of her favourite beauty products. From skincare staples to makeup must-haves, the Duchess of Sussex listed all of her must-haves over on her ShopMy account.
There was one product that caught our eye, however; the Weleda Skin Food, which is one of the most affordable items on her list – especially now it’s on sale. Usually priced at £15.95 for a 75ml tube, LookFantastic shoppers can currently get their hands on it for £11.96, saving 25%.

The Weleda Skin Food has a long history of celebrity fans, including Victoria Beckham and Rihanna, as well as being a known beauty staple for makeup artists at Fashion Week. It has a thick, rich texture that’s perfect for providing long-lasting hydration to your skin, and creates a protective barrier on your skin to prevent dryness and protect it from environmental stressors.
Although it’s typically used on the face, you can apply Weleda Skin Food anywhere that needs a moisture boost, from your hands and feet to elbows and knees. The ingredients list includes wild pansy extract, rosemary, chamomile, calendula and sunflower seed oil.
As well as offering plenty of hydration, it’s also great for soothing sensitive, tight and sore skin, leaving it looking nourished and glowy. Although we love it as a heavy duty winter moisturiser, it can be used all year round.
It’s not just celebs who love it either; on LookFantastic it’s currently got a 4.65 star rating, with more than 950 five star reviews out of 1200. One reviewer said: “Absolutely love Weleda Skin Food. It’s rich, moisturising, and has a lovely fresh scent. Everyone in the family uses it, and it’s worked wonders in my daughter’s dry skin patches.”
Whilst another wrote: “So nice and thick and I love the smell, I use it on my face as a base before makeup. Works really well on dry patches on my body.”
Some, however, were less of a fan of its thick consistency, with one saying: “This is my hero cream for dry skin and giving glow without looking oily. However it is THICK!! So if you don’t like this type of texture, it isn’t for you.”
And another agreeing: “Very thick and moisturising, but also leaves hands very greasy for an hour so need to be careful not to touch your hair, furniture, etc. best before bed.”
If you’re looking for something a little lighter, the Avène Hydrance Light Hydrating Emulsion for Dehydrated Skin is a great alternative. It has a lighter weight formula whilst still being ultra hydrating, and is currently on sale at Boots for £15.20, down from £19.
Alternatively, the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+M Rich Moisturiser for Dry Skin is £25 for a large 400ml bottle, and is a hydrating, soothing balm that’s perfect for dry, itchy skin. It’s suitable for the whole family, including new born babies, and is also suitable for using on eczema-prone skin.
