Today, the wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William of Wales, Kate Middleton, turns 42. The brilliant Duchess of Cambridge always manages to look flawless, despite her numerous royal duties and raising children, she consistently finds time for herself. On the occasion of Kate Middleton’s birthday, we have gathered the main secrets of her beauty and diet.

Skin care

For many years, Kate Middleton has been a fan of the Swiss skincare line Karen Herzog. The top 3 products from this brand that Kate loves are the Vita-A-Kombi 1 cream, Essential mask, and the moisturizing cream Additional Sweet (a limited product with a chocolate scent).

Each product contains the brand’s star ingredient — stabilized oxygen in a patented formula, which turns into gas upon contact with the skin, as well as olive and cocoa bean oils, grapefruit, orange, mandarin zest, vitamins A, E, salicylic and formic acid.

Hair Styling

Kate Middleton’s hair stylist, Amanda Cook Tucker, once shared the main product for creating the Duchess of Cambridge’s signature hairstyle. It turns out that the assistant for creating perfectly bouncy, shiny locks for Kate is the Creme with Silk Groom from the New York brand Kiehl’s.

Favorite Lip Product

Lip Gloss Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector by Clarins in the shade Rose Shimmer with a subtle pink undertone. It contains shea butter extract and wild mango oil, providing a restoring and softening effect on delicate skin.

Facial Scrub

Deborah Mitchell, personal beautician to Kate Middleton and founder of the cosmetics brand Heaven Skincare, who prepared her skin for the royal wedding and the BAFTA awards, revealed an astonishing secret to the duchess’s flawless skin.

The royal beautician recommends mixing Nutella chocolate paste, sugar, and lip balm to make a scrub out of this mixture. It should be used just like a regular scrub: applied to the skin and then rinsed off.

Diet

Kate Middleton follows the sirtuin diet, which involves including foods rich in the antioxidant resveratrol in the diet, which can rejuvenate the body at the cellular level.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a group of seven proteins that regulate metabolism, are responsible for a strong immune system, longevity, and other important bodily functions. To adhere to the sirtuin diet, it is important to include foods rich in powerful natural antioxidants — polyphenols — in your daily diet.

If you want to try the sirtuin diet, be sure to include such foods: kale, red wine, especially Pinot Noir, strawberries, red onions, garlic, soybeans, citrus fruits, apples, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, dark chocolate (85% cocoa), matcha, buckwheat, turmeric, walnuts, arugula, chili peppers, celery, dates, red chicory, blueberries, capers, and natural coffee.

Makeup Tips

Kate’s eyebrows used to be thin, but now they are much thicker and wider. Most likely, the Duchess’s makeup artists use the HD technique, where natural eyebrows are shaped and tinted. Kate often uses eyeliner, but today it is much softer and lighter than before. Now she prefers smoky-brown and bronze tones. She also often chooses nude shades of lipstick, which look great with any fashionable look.
