We count on the future Queen of England [1] to have a strong skincare game. As with her hair and fashion choices, the skin regimen [2] of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, exceeds even the best of expectations. From product choices [3] that have inspired a first lady [4] to drugstore finds, we can learn a lot by observing how Kate Middleton takes care of her skin.
This is one product guide that has us eager to make a shopping list, and each of these items, whether created in the USA or across the pond, is easily shoppable online.
Beuti Skincare Beauty Sleep Elixir
Kate uses Beuti Skincare's Beauty Sleep Elixir [5] ($65) regularly. In fact, it's been said she keeps multiple bottles by her bed [6]. This antioxidant-rich elixir smells fit for a royal, with notes of camellia, lavender, geranium, and neroli.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat
If you are going to be queen one day, you have to have a camera-ready regal glow at all times. This Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat [7] ($38) highlighting pen is perfect to add a touch of luminosity, and Kate is said to be a big fan. Future-HRH Meghan Markle is a fan as well [8].
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
An oil-free tinted moisturizer is a great bet to have a flawless finish, essential for a royal. It seems Kate stocks up [9] on Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer [10] ($45) at spots like Peter Jones in London's upscale Sloane Square area.
Karin Herzog Vita-A-Kombi 1
Karin Herzog Vita-A-Kombi 1 [11] ($75) comes via a Swiss skincare brand and has the royal seal of approval [12]. Use it to shrink pores and reduce signs of aging.
Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel
Duchess Catherine loves Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel [13] ($126) so much that she recommended it to former First Lady Michelle Obama [14], according to a tip from Obama's makeup artist.
Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
Kate is said to be a big fan of rosehip oil [15] and came across the all-natural Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil [16] ($44) after being given a bottle during her tour of New Zealand. Rosehip oil is great for everything from dark spots to fighting inflammation, both of which a princess has no time for.
Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Day Cream
Royals: they are just like us. At least that is so when it comes to appreciating drugstore beauty finds. Kate is a longtime fan [17] of Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Day Cream [18] ($23), great for keeping skin soft and smooth.
Deborah Mitchell Black Bee Venom Mask
Kate was sent the Deborah Mitchell Black Bee Venom Mask [19] ($243) just before her wedding day and remains a fan of Deborah Mitchell's facials [20] and products to this day.
