After discovering Judi Dench's favourite mascara for sensitive eyes, we'll admit that we fell down a rabbit hole wondering the exact buys that the actress' beauty bag makes home to, in particular her skincare stash. In recent years, the actress has typically been pictured opting for an au naturel, minimal makeup appearance that puts her radiant, healthy-looking complexion in the spotlight. This has left us wondering what is Dench's skincare secret?
Well, we don't have to ponder that thought for too long as her makeup artist has revealed the product behind it all to be one of the best hyaluronic acid serums. What's more, you can now snap up the already-affordable serum for even less, as it boasts a stellar saving for a limited time only.
The hydrating serum Judi Dench relies on for an awakened complexion
Having amassed nearly 10,000 stellar customer reviews on Amazon alone, with an impressive 4.5 average star rating, it's clear that shoppers are in agreement with the actress.
RRP: £32
Formulated with 1.5% micro and macro hyaluronic acid molecules, this serum works to deeply hydrate the skin, while smoothing the skin's surface and replumping fine lines from within. Quickly absorbing into the skin for a non-greasy or non-sticky finish, this formula reveals a softly supple, firmer and more toned complexion.
Makeup artist, Val Garland lifted the lid on the skincare routine she used on Judi Dench for the June 2020 cover of British Vogue, sharing her clever tip for awakening the complexion: “I started by giving Judi a face massage, then used a jade roller to wake up her skin,” she says.
Using a facial massage tool, such as the Brushworks Jade Roller, is a great way to prep your complexion prior to applying your skincare products of choice, in order to cool the skin, decrease puffiness and minimise the appearance of pores. Garland explains: "Massage is a great way of waking up your face and bringing blood to the surface.”
As for the actress' understated luminous look, Garland revealed the one serum she relied on to hydrate and plump the skin: “I really wanted to make it feel very dewy and fresh so I followed by massaging the L’Oréal Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum, which is a skin plumper, into her skin."
