Former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh is the new face of Botanics #skinfit campaign, which champions simple plant-based skincare. As part of her involvement with the beauty brand, the actress filmed an exclusive video for HELLO! where she unboxed her top five favourite products from the Botanics line. She says of the range: "Partnering with Botanics was a no brainer - I have been a massive fan of the brand for years due to its plant based natural offering that is perfect for my sensitive skin. Whether I’m going to the gym, getting on a plane or having a pampering night in, Botanics really always comes to the rescue and fits in to my daily routine effortlessly."
