However, we have managed to come across one multi-tasking cream with thousands of fans around the globe, including the likes of Dame Joanna Lumley. Even better, it is fairly affordable and will be within many of our budgets. It is the Astral Face & Body Intensive Moisturiser and a 200ml tub is priced at a purse-friendly £4 on Amazon right now. Hailed as an "old school" moisturiser , it has consistently received glowing praise since it was first launched back in 1953. One major fan of the "hydrating" cream is Dame Joanna Lumley . The 77-year-old Ab-Fab and Fool Me Once
Actress previously admitted in an interview with The Times : "I’ve been using Astral for 40 years as a moisturiser, cleanser and hand cream. It comes in a little blue pot, cheap as chips — adore! It has never been tested on animals, and is about the only thing I’ve never developed an allergy to." Suitable for all skin types, the Astral Moisturiser boasts a "rich" formula that has been designed to penetrate deeply into the epidermis of your skin. Infused with lanolin and petroleum jelly to protect the skin's barrier, it has been hailed by skincare fans as a "must-have" for dry skin.

It's also not just the face it can moisturise, as the cream can be used to provide soft, supple skin on your whole body, whilst also doubling up as a makeup remover. Currently averaging an impressive 4.7 rating on Amazon , it's no surprise that £4 moisturiser has found a massive fan base among shoppers who have been using it for years for "wrinkle free" skin that makes them "look younger."

People say I look much younger this I put it down to good genes and Astral Cream Moisturiser . For people with dry skin and wrinkles it’s definitely worth a try. It’s ok moisturiser soaking in straightaway but I prefer a slower process so you know it’s there all day and night. If needed those pesky wrinkles under your chin show up pop a tiny smear on, brilliant." A second shopper gushed: "I have used Astral since my twenties I’m 71 now and have really good skin, wrinkle free, morning and night, always apply first before makeup, good for dry skin, especially hands and feet. Makes me laugh when I see all the expensive creams and lotions advertised, it’s Astral for me."

What can I say but it is good stuff and if its good enough for Joanna Lumley it's good enough for me."
