Elemis advent calendar is £189 but worth £550 and includes full skincare routine

Autumn is here, which means December is just eight weeks away, and the countdown to Christmas is on.

There are a huge range of advent calendars this year, and beauty lovers are particularly spoilt, with so many beauty retailers launching their 2023 offerings.

For skincare enthusiasts, Elemis’ calendar is packed with skin treats and is a repeat purchase for those who know and love the luxury brand’s products.

It’s designed to contain two full skincare routines – one for the ultimate glow and one for a flawless base – so it won’t contain any useless items.

This year, the calendar is priced at £189, but the contents are worth £551, so it’s a huge saving and handy for topping up on old favourites or trying new products.

Elemis fans are already snapping up the advent calendar to avoid missing out, with some saying it contains ‘a year’s worth of skincare’.

Beverley said: ”I buy this for my daughter every year. She loves it, contents keep her going a year until next one arrives. Worth the money and it gives such pleasure.”

Sarah commented: ”This is the first calendar I’ve purchased and was surprised how much you get for your money, really worth the price. It’s definitely a year’s worth of skincare. Love it!”

Cliff B also added: ”Beautifully packaged. This going to make the perfect gift for the recipient.”

Although the calendar is good value in terms of what the contents are worth, there are a lot of sample sizes, so if you’re looking for bigger products, it might be worth considering the John Lewis or Cult Beauty calendars.
