A beauty influecer has gone viral after sharing her experience of being approached by an admirer asking about her radiantly “glowing” skin, despite wearing no makeup, attributing the compliment to a single miracle product.
The pursuit of perfect skin has many turning to social media for expert recommendations and personal success stories with various skincare treatments. Eleanor, known online as Bambi Does Beauty, is one such guru earning the trust of hundreds of thousands on TikTok and Instagram, thanks to her authentic and trusted tips.
At 34 years old, Bambi regularly imparts wisdom gained from personally trying out cosmetic items ranging from high-end luxuries to affordable drugstore gems. In a recent TikTok post, part of an ad promotion with Avene, the influencer recounted a memorable validation for her skincare routine.
While preparing to use the product on camera, she recounted: “Last night, I was out having dinner with my mum and this woman came up to our table and was like, ‘what are you wearing on your skin?’ And I actually wasn’t wearing makeup but as soon as she asked, I knew what she was asking about.
“It’s actually not a new product, I’ve used this for years. It’s by Avene and it’s called Cicalfate+ Cream. Dermatologists always bang on about it, Hailey Bieber swears by it, it’s just something that I always have in my cabinet as my SOS skin cream.”
Bambie elaborated: “If you’ve got sensitive skin that’s easily irritated, you can rely on it to give skin its moisture back and just repair it. I think it’s got something like 40 different uses, and the way it makes your skin glow, it will get you compliments from other women which are the best type of compliments.”
Many flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts. One user exclaimed: “Omg I love Avene Cicalfate cream! It’s my all time fave”.
Another eagerly posted: “I need to purchase this immediately,” while a third recounted: “My skin went nuts when I was on holiday in the UK and I got some in Boots and MY GOD IT IS GOOD.”
Some hailed it as a “holy grail product,” and another inquired: “Do you know of any decent cruelty free dupes please?”.
When trying out new skincare products, it’s crucial to perform a patch test to ensure compatibility with your skin. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area, such as the inner elbow or wrist, and wait 24 hours to monitor for allergic reactions or sensitivities.
Should you encounter adverse effects like itchiness, burning, or flakiness, discontinue use immediately.
