A glimpse into Meghan Markle’s skin care regimen is rare; the products responsible for The Duchess’ covetable glow are almost as elusive as Kate Middleton’s blow dry secrets.
We do, however, have some very valuable insights courtesy of the former Suits star’s early interviews, and we’re holding on tight to these tips in our pursual of royally phenomenal skin.
Here, everything we know about her skincare routine and the products she swears by.
Exfoliant: Tatcha The Rice Polish Classic Foaming Enzyme Powder, $104 at mecca.com.au
“I really love the Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder,” she shared with Allure. “It just sort of foams on your face and gives you a really subtle exfoliation.” This very product was reportedly even included in the gift bags given to guests at Markle’s baby shower, so you can count on the fact that she’s still a fan.
Daytime Face Oil: Decleor Aromessence Rose D’ Orient Soothing Oil Serum, $92.95 at cosmeticsnow.com.au
Speaking to E! about Markle’s go-to topicals on the set of Suits, her makeup artist Min Min Ma shared her favourite pre-foundation serum formula. “I prepped her face skin with a generous coat of the Decleor Aromessence Rose D’ Orient Soothing Oil Serum [before applying makeup],” she explained.
Night-time Face Oil: Beuti Skincare Beauty Sleep Elixir, $86.06 at beutiskincare.com
Markle is also said to be a supporter of beauty brand Beuti, and more specifically their Beauty Sleep Elixir. “Our source at the palace confirms that they gave Kate the Beauty Sleep Elixir, which is regularly replenished on her dressing table,” brand founder Leila Aalam told Harper’s BAZAAR. “It was then reported that Kate was giving product to Meghan to use too, and now they both receive regular supplies.”
Serum: Kate Somerville Quench Hydrating Face Serum, $120 at mecca.com.au
Naming Somerville’s Quench formula as her serum of choice, Markle mentioned she uses it to prolong her glow between facial sessions with the woman behind the brand. “I’ve been going to Kate’s clinic in LA for facials for years,” she said. “[Since living elsewhere], I still use the products to maintain that glow that her facials give,” she shared with The Lady Loves Couture.
Wipes: Bioré Daily Deep Pore Cleansing Cloths, $6.99 at chemistwarehouse.com.au
Even The Duchess occasionally reaches for a face wipe. “They’re great to keep in the car and on your nightstand when you have those horribly lazy nights that the thought of getting up to actually wash your face seems unbearable,” she told Beauty Banter of these purifying cleansing cloths back in 2016.
Body Lotion: Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion, $9.99 at priceline.com.au
She appreciates a budget buy as well, naming a Nivea formula as her longtime body moisturiser. “I use this religiously,” Markle told Beauty Banter of her favourite pharmacy find. “It’s honestly my favourite lotion on the market. It’s so affordable, and makes my skin look and feel amazing. I would buy a case of this at a time if I could find it.”
Body Oil: Bio Oil, $34.95 at chemistwarehouse.com.au
It appears nobody is immune to the effects of our beloved Bio Oil, either, with a palace insider opening up to The Sun about Markle’s affinity for it during her pregnancy with son Archie. “Meghan’s pregnancy standby is Bio Oil which is non greasy and does the job effortlessly without messing up her clothes or five-star sheets,” the insider explained.
