Instantly reduce unwanted fine lines and blemishes while giving your skin the love it needs with The Body Shop’s latest innovative product – Wonderblur.

From the airplane to the office, we don’t go anywhere without our trustee Instablur from The Body Shop. So when we heard that the brand was releasing a skincare version, excited was just a tad of an understatement.

Whether you’re looking to conceal blemishes or reduce fine lines and pores, The Body Shop’s latest addition to the Drops of Youth range does it all. Dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic, Wonderblur features Edelweiss stem cell technology and Community Fair Trade Babassu oil to deliver smoother, more radiant skin that looks instantly flawless. And as if that wasn’t enough, the miracle formula is ultra-breathable and allows for up to 12 hours of hydration.

How to use Wonderblur:

Use this product after applying moisturiser as a last step to your skincare regime. Simply take a pea-sized amount of the product and apply it all over your face, or in targeted areas. Use it to touch up throughout the day.

Our verdict:

With a texture that’s similar to Instablur, look to this un-tinted version as an air-brushing tool of sorts with added skincare benefits. Primers have not been a key product in my beauty routine every morning per se but I found that with this, it does create a notable difference. I used this lightweight primer just before applying liquid foundation to create a nice, soft canvas and it visibly reduced the appearance of pesky fine lines – where I’d usually find makeup settle into throughout the day. And if you’d rather not use it as a primer or do not use foundation and BB creams on a daily basis, what I’d recommend is to use it as a mattifying product, if you’re prone to oily skin. This will ultimately banish that unsightly sheen.

While its instant effect floored us to no end, ultimately prolonged use may also result in a much smoother complexion and a radiant appearance.
