Zendaya swears by this soothing balm to keep her skin glowing, and it’s only £9

Zendaya is an undisputed fashion and beauty icon. Case in point: this delicious auburn hair shade, that time she got brow-length bangs, and when she and her bandeau crop top won the CFDA Awards red carpet. 

Now, queen Zendaya has given us a rare glimpse into her beauty cabinet and shared one of her skincare heroes. And the best part? It’s available from Boots for under a tenner.

In a recently resurfaced interview with GLAMOUR US, Zendaya is asked a bunch of beauty-related questions, including the three hero products she’d take to a deserted island. The skincare-savvy Euphoria star replies: “SPF, SPF, SPF! This is absolutely my ultimate nonnegotiable. I’m really loving the Lancôme UV Expert Aqua Gel SPF 50. It’s amazing on its own, but also serves as a really great primer under makeup. Otherwise, I’d bring mascara, of course.” 

And the third product the 25-year-old can’t live without? A tube of Aquaphor – “I carry it on me at all times,” she says.

The seriously affordable beauty balm has amassed over 130 five-star reviews on Boots’ website, and is described as being “clinically proven to help support the regeneration process of the skin.” Free from fragrance, colourants and preservatives, the balm is ideal for sensitive skin types prone to flare-ups and dry patches, and has the dermatologist and paediatrician seal of approval. 

The clever balm can also be used to soothe dry, cracked lips; as well as to remove makeup (apply a little balm to the face before gently wiping away makeup); achieving the fluffy brow look (use a spoolie to brush brows up before using your finger to lay them flat with Aquaphor); and even turning powder blush or eyeshadow into a cream formula (dip your brush into your powder blush or eye shadow and then mix it with a little Aquaphor).
