So if you want a hydrated, glowing complexion, just like Olivia’s, you’ll need to listen up.
She’s back in the Love Island villa for the second time, but it turns out that when she was looking for love back in series nine, Olivia used a bargain buy to ensure her skin looked TV ready.
During a chat with Closer, the iconic Islander revealed the two beauty buys she couldn’t be without.
Not only did she rave about the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm for removing make-up, but the actress then went on to profess her love for an absolute cult fave - Hyaluronic Acid.

Olivia, who previously opened up on getting abuse from trolls, confessed: “Also The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid, I swear by that.”
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% B5 claims to be suitable for all skin types and at less than a tenner is an affordable product perfect for daily use after cleansing.
The hydrating serum is formulated to smooth and plump skin, whilst targeting the look of wrinkles and textural irregularities.
She added: “You have to put it on damp skin but it's really good for your skin then lock it in.”
Last night, Olivia's fans flocked to Instagram, eager to praise her ‘gorgeous’ skin.
One user beamed: “Absolutely gorgeous.”
Trolls think I'm dumb because I went on Love Island but I have brains & beauty… people say I should die, they're jealous
A second chimed in: “Liv looks incredible.”
Whilst a third beamed: “Oh Liv! You look amazing.”
Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery. Whether in topical formulations or clinic-based treatments, they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing and compromised skin barriers.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products like CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50 which combine active ingredients like ceramides with a broad-spectrum SPF50 for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world in 2025, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums, designed to enhance elasticity and hydration whist catering to a more eco-conscious audience.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. In 2025, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
So if you want skin as flawless as Olivia's and fancy giving her favourite Hyaluronic Acid a try, you can order it now from Beauty Bay for just £6.55.
You simply apply a few drops of the cruelty-free product to your face in the morning and evening and your skin is sure to feel plumper and smoother in no time at all.
Shoppers beam
And it’s not just Liv that loves this cheap buy, as it has racked up thousands of five star reviews online, with an average rating of 4.7 out of five on Beauty Bay.
Will always buy this as the base to my skincare routine! Keeps me glowy and hydrated
Beauty Bay shopper
Shoppers praised the serum's ability to keep skin hydrated and confessed to repeatedly purchasing the cheap buy.
One person said: “In love with this! It's great for my skin, super smooth, keeps my skin hydrated. I love it!”
Another added: “Bought again after running out. It’s part of my daily routine and I can't go without it! Love this.”
A third commented: “Will always buy this as the base to my skincare routine! Keeps me glowy and hydrated.”
