As it’s super-rich yet still mild, it’s a good plan to keep a little pot of Astral in your handbag especially as, unlike many hand creams, you can also use it on your face.

The rich formulation of Astral Original is a simple water in oil emulsion formula. It acts as a barrier cream, stopping the moisture already held in the skin from evaporating, while simultaneously delivering extra moisture, leaving skin feeling plumped, pliable and less dry

To reduce the rate of skin sloughing, you need to keep the skin hydrated. This is where Astral comes in – slather on to the skin to extend the life of your tan, and you can stay bronzed for longer. Because Astral cream is made up of lanolin and glycerin, rather than being oil-based, it won't strip the tan from your skin - like other moisturisers might.

It’s one of the reasons why you should apply lotions straight out of the shower rather than waiting until you’ve dried off first. You may not have heard much about Astral Original for a while but for me, it’s a bit like the high street, much more affordable version of Eight Hour Cream; A hundred and one uses and always handy to have in your beauty stash. The Astral brand is a very nostalgic one for me. If your skin is dry, and you tend to find that your make-up cakes throughout the day - or clings to drier areas of your face - Astral cream is a great makeup primer.You're probably thinking so what other incredible ingredients are in this pot of magic to make it such a hit?
