AJ Odudu reveals £4 secret to ‘gorgeous glowing skin’ and the beauty hack she swears by to be Big Brother ready
AJ Odudu has revealed the bargain buy she swears by for glowing skin.
So if your face is looking a bit lacklustre, you’ve come to the right place, as the 36-year-old Big Brother presenter has shared the product she can’t get enough of.
And particularly with the weather turning chilly, if your face is looking a bit dull, you’ll need to check this out.
Posting on her Instagram stories, the Strictly star, who returned to our screens last night for the latest Big Brother series, gave a behind the scenes look as she got her glam on ahead of the show.
As she sat with Thembi Mkandla, a make-up artist who has worked with Ashley Roberts, Oti Mabuse and Clara Amfo, the presenter wore a red Adidas tracksuit and explained: “We’re going to have a facial, we’re going to relax.”
AJ then revealed the beauty hack Thembi swears by to get her Big Brother ready, as she asked the artist: “What’s that in your hand?”
Thembi confirmed that it was a waxing strip, as AJ explained: “For the upper lip”.
Following this, Thembi laughed: “To get rid of that tash.”
But for step two of AJ’s regime, she revealed that she swears by a beauty buy you can nab from the high-street.
As she held up the Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask from Kiehl’s, she wrote: Step two. Get that gorge glowing skin using this mask from Kiehl’s.”
The product, which has been described as an “instant facial”, brightens and energises the look of dull, fatigued skin.
This mask helps skin regain its natural, healthy appearance, leaving it looking brighter.
It’s formulated with cranberry and turmeric, an invigorating formulation which helps to visibly even the look of skin tone whilst gently exfoliating for smoother, illuminated-looking skin.
Whilst a large tub of the Kiehl’s product is normally £35 from John Lewis, or £42 from Boots, if you’re on a budget, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can nab a small 14ml pot for just £4.27 from Stylevana.
