The products used by the royals to stay looking youthful: From a natural alternative to Botox to a moisturiser launched in 1930… and the cream Prince Harry put on his ‘frost-bitten’ nether regions

Members of the royal family are among the most photographed people in the world and strive to look their best on every occasion.

They consult leading beauty experts for recommendations on products that will maintain the health of their skin, promote a youthful appearance and fight signs of aging.

From a natural alternative to Botox to a moisturizer launched in 1930, we reveal the products they use to maintain their glow.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream – £31

The late Queen Elizabeth not only had a talent for colorful clothes, but also a radiant complexion.

While there is some mystery surrounding her skincare choices, it is believed she favoured Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream, which costs £31.

The multifunctional product, which was launched in 1930, is reportedly sold every 30 seconds worldwide.

The Queen granted Elizabeth Arden her royal title and she reportedly used the cream twice a day to keep her skin hydrated and moisturized.

In his shocking memoir, Spare, Prince Harry revealed he used his mother’s favourite moisturiser in an unexpected place.

During his expedition to the North Pole in 2011 with wounded veterans from Afghanistan, Harry suffered frostbite in his lower back.

“My penis fluctuated between extremely sensitive and almost traumatized,” he wrote.

‘I had tried some home remedies, including one that a friend had recommended. She had advised me to use Elizabeth Arden cream.’

Interestingly enough, the famous moisturizer he used is the same one Princess Diana used for her chapped lips.

“My mother used that on her lips,” he recalls.

Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel – £52.50

Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands all love Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel.

The product is billed as a ‘natural alternative to Botox’ and claims to reduce wrinkles for up to nine hours.

German cosmetics company Biotulin NBC Universal offered Meghan $5 million for a five-second show of their Botox gel in Suits.

Kate’s make-up artist, Carl Ray, revealed that the Biotulin gel, which costs £52.50, is one of her essential anti-ageing products.

Karl Lagerfeld, who famously said, “I would never have poison injected into my face,” is said to have personally passed the tip on to Kate.

In a 2016 interview with Boulevard Magazine, Telma Ortiz Rocasolano, sister of Queen Letizia of Spain, revealed that the 51-year-old queen does not get Botox injections.

The secret of her flawless complexion is Biotulin.

According to the manufacturer, an ingredient derived from the paracress plant works as a local herbal anesthetic, reducing muscle contractions and visibly smoothing fine lines.

Rodial Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème – £750 (reduced to £95)

Bee venom, vitamin C and placenta proteins are found in Rodial’s signature cream and promise to promote a youthful complexion.

But perhaps it was the 24-carat gold flecks, which instantly enhance the shine, that attracted Catherine, the 42-year-old Princess of Wales, to the product.

Prospective customers will be pleased to hear that this cream has now been reduced in price from £750 to £95 – a saving of 87 percent.

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream – £38

The 52-year-old Australian-born Queen Mary of Denmark is an avid supporter of Danish skincare brand Ole Henriksen.

She even invited the expert, who is known for his vitamin C-enriched products, to her home, as he had previously revealed.

‘Because she had a great love for some of my products, she invited me to her home.

“I found her incredibly warm, kind and incredibly beautiful. I was enchanted by her beautiful smile and stunning sense of style,” he recalls.

Henriksen focuses on the eyes as the most important area of ​​the face to treat, as they require “special attention” in any skincare routine.

“Try to use creams that are proven to hydrate and firm, which will improve your skin’s elasticity. Always do this as the last step in your routine,” he said.

‘Nothing works better than our Banana Bright Eye Creme, £38, which boosts natural collagen and adds radiance with added vitamin C. It’s makeup and eye care in one pot!’

Heaven by Deborah Mitchell Silk Skin Bee Bee Cream – £39

Deborah Mitchell’s famous bee venom facials, which reportedly cost more than £300, have won fans including Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton.

Inspired by the success of her facials, Deborah launched her own skincare brand, Heaven, featuring products enriched with hyaluronic acid and bee venom.

Camilla, 76, reportedly prefers the £39 Silk Skin Bee Bee Cream as it gives her skin a subtle glow.
