If you’re suffering from dry skin, incorporating effective hand, body and facial creams into your skin-care routine is essential. We found a versatile moisturizer that works wonders on all three, thanks to Julia Roberts. That’s right; her nourishing cream of choice, the cult-favorite Weleda Skin Food, is on sale at Amazon. The 56-year-old actress depends on this stuff to keep her youthful glow, and now you can get it for just $15 at Amazon. And be sure to check out one Yahoo Life writer’s Weleda Skin Food review for more!

The ultimate moisturizer, this rich, botanical cream hydrates the skin and makes it appear more luminous.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
We might not always be able to afford celeb-approved skin care, but you don’t have to be ultra-rich to afford the $15 price. This is for the 2.5-ounce size, which is a great one to start out with to make sure you like it. (Also, a little goes a really long way.)
Why do I need this? 🤔
Weleda Skin Food is an ultra-rich cream, formulated with nourishing natural ingredients like extracts of rosemary, chamomile and pansy in a base of sunflower and sweet almond oils. It’s safe for use on any skin type and on any area of the body. No need for a facial moisturizer and a separate body lotion!
“I put it on my hands after I wash the dishes, and wind up putting it on my elbows and feet,” Roberts said. “Before you know it, I’ve squeezed this poor little green tube into a twist.”
Julia Roberts isn’t the only one who loves this cream. Makeup artists use it to amp up facial glow and make highlighter pop. You can even sheer out your foundation with it by mixing a pea-sized amount into your regular base makeup before application. Celebs like Ashley Graham and Victoria Beckham are also fans.
What reviewers say 💬
We plebes are smitten too: Weleda Skin Food has garnered a whopping 24,600 five-star ratings from Amazon customers.
Pros 👍
“My face was so dry, it hurt to smile,” said this formerly glum reviewer. “I tried several brands of lotion, and all they did was make it burn. Found this. … So glad I took the chance! After the first (yes, first) application I got relief! It has now been one week, and my skin is healed! Only takes a tiny amount, so this is going to last a long time!”
One shopper loved its ingredients and results: “One of its best features is how well it hydrates, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple…It boasts plant-rich ingredients, which is unique and effective. It is versatile as it can be applied anywhere on the body and without any synthetic preservatives. Definitely a must-try!”
“The fragrance is great, earthy, slightly medicinal, but a nice, subtle smell that fades once applied,” shared this fan. “My 75-year-old skin has never looked as good over the past 40-plus years.”
Cons 👎
Some reviewers gave it four stars instead of five because this ultra-rich cream was a little too rich.
“Very moisturizing face lotion,” said one. “However it leaves your face very shiny and greasy looking. I use it at night when I don’t have to go out.”
“I’ve been happy with this moisturizer. It really hydrates my dry skin,” revealed another. “However, the scent and texture could be improved. It’s very thick, but to its credit, it doesn’t clog pores. Despite its shortcomings, it’s still a good product.”
