I'd guess that in my bathroom, there's more than £500 worth of skincare.
As someone who grew up with incredibly sensitive skin, my mum
always instilled in me that good beauty products are worth investing
in. After all, your skin is one of the first things people notice about you, and
given you're stuck with it for life, it's worth looking after.
But what if there was a way to get a glowing complexion without draining your bank account?
Well, Gen Z claims to have found it - and even more bizarrely, it's a product you've probably known about for years.
It all started when influencer @AngelicLofiASMR shared a clip of herself using a 70p bar or Pears
soap as a cleanser. ‘I used to struggle to keep my skin feeling
hydrated,' she says, ‘but then I discovered Pears and it has been my go-to for that soft, moisturised glow.
My skin feels instantly softer and more hydrated after
rinsing.'
It's not just Lofi. Users flocked to the comments to rave about
the soap, writing: ‘I love using Pears. It feels so
nice on the skin,' and ‘I use Pears at age 46… better than Clinique!
It's been a game changer for me.' A quick search shows literally hundreds of influencers think the same, with people labelling it ‘the secret ingredient to glowing skin' and ‘the best facial cleanser around'.
You're probably thinking this is just Gen Z-ers being hyperbolic again - but it turns out, there is some method to the madness.
The soap contains lots of glycerin, the same ingredient you'll find in Dermalogica, La Roche Posay
and even Medik8 products. Glycerin is uber-hydrating and aids plumpness,
glow and skin elasticity, while the natural oils
in Pears can help sooth, calm and soften your face, particularly
when it becomes dry in cold weather.
One thing skincare experts seem to agree on is Pears isn't going to do
your skin any harm. In fact, in an environment where lots of us overmedicate our faces, stripping it
back to basics can really improve your complexion.
It's worth keeping in mind, however, that Pears soap isn't medical grade,
so if you have any specific skin concerns like dark
spots, it's not going to fix those. But as far as we're concerned at 70p,
it's worth adding to our beauty arsenal even if it's just to remove stubborn make-up.
Just check your mum's bathroom cupboard before you go out and buy a bar.
70p, Morrisons
