Getting caught up in theories about the universe expanding, in-flight murder mysteries and motherhood, Kaley Cuoco is one busy Hollywood A-lister. While she has access to all the creams and concoctions celebrities use for eternal youth, she has surprised us with a multi-tasking ointment that doesn’t cost a pretty, er, Penny. Just like us regular folk, she’s found a drugstore beauty that she can’t do without: Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream. Right now, you can get a tub of it on sale at Amazon for just $32.
This balm contains olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and bee propolis.
This cream only goes on sale a few times a year. If you’ve been looking to try this cult favorite all-purpose skin cream or you can already feel the moisture-sucking wind of the winter ahead, now is the time to drop it into your cart.
We love how fresh-faced Kaley can walk onto a film or show and instantly take the weight off your shoulders. It was on one of those shows where she discovered this magical salve.
“I fell in love with it after my makeup artist on The Flight Attendant started using it on me as a barrier cream,” she told New York Magazine. “I ended up ordering a ton. I apply it absolutely everywhere: my hands, lips, neck, elbows, face. Because it’s allergy season now, I’ve actually been putting it in my nose, too. I use it if I have any sort of chafing or irritation. It can really, truly go anywhere.”
It’s not really magical — the ingredients sound like a beehive in a tub: beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, bee propolis and olive oil. We get loads of good things from bees — honey is known to have antimicrobial properties and royal jelly from queen bees is packed with nourishing nutrients. It’s very good for needy, sensitive skin.
More than 7,600 Amazon shoppers are keen on this cream too.
“I have very dry heels, I have tried everything, and nothing has worked,” a five-star fan shared. “The heels are so dry that they become uncomfortable, at night the burning and discomfort disturb my sleep. The first night I used this, I slept like a baby. I have been using it consistently for the last two weeks and for the first time in 5 years, the skin is healing.”
“Had a bit of dermatitis on my eyelids, and a client recommended this to me, it was fine after using it for six days!” shared an excited shopper. “I had been trying every doctor-recommended cream for 10 months prior! Absolutely obsessed with this product!”
“I have been having some serious issues with acne for the past several months I usually use a regimen but everything I normally used wasn’t helping,” reported another rave reviewer. “I apply this at night before bed on a clean face, and my skin has transformed in the last week — it’s absolutely remarkable. I know not everyone has the same results, but I have sensitive acne-prone skin with enlarged pores, and it’s like night and day.”
Some shoppers say it might not be the best cream for people with sensitive noses.
“I cannot praise this product enough, although I do wish it smelled better,” wrote one shopper. “I guess that’s a small price to pay for the miraculous recovery my skin has made in the last six months.”
“I have some eczema patches on my face, and when I put this stuff on it, it clears it up, moisturizes the area, and all without causing any type of acne from the oil,” another shopper shared. “Be aware that it is unscented and therefore doesn’t smell that great, not bad, just not great.”
This versatile cream can be used to healing dry skin, treat minor cuts or even as a makeup remover.
