Kate Middleton gave Meghan Markle her favourite ‘beauty sleep’ oil in sisterly gesture, skincare expert claims
EVER wondered how Meghan Markle has such glowing skin? It could be thanks to Kate Middleton.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 37, is said to be such a huge fan of a skin-boosting facial oil that she gave it to her new sister-in-law, 38, as a present.
It's previously been reported that Kate swears by the £47 Beuti Skincare's Beauty Sleep Elixir, a facial oil "fortified with 14 precious plant oils".
She's said to keep it on her bedside table at her and Prince William's home in Kensington Palace.
Kate loved the product so much that she recommended to Meghan to use, and now she’s a convert too, according to the
The Beauty Sleep Elixir contains 98 per cent organic oils and is said to boost skin renewal while you sleep.

The oils include camellia, lavender, geranium and neroli, as well as cranberry seed, raspberry and sweet cherry.
It may be no surprise that Meghan is a fan of the product, as she is said to try to keep her skin looking dewy so she doesn’t have to wear thick foundation.
Lydia F. Sellers - who worked with the former actress in her Suits days - told last year: "Her approach is very effortless.
"Every time I’d do her make-up, she’d say: 'Can we just make sure my freckles are peeking through? I don’t want a ton of foundation.'
"It was more about the amount of product that went on her skin and keeping it really fresh and dewy, rather than caking it on."
The elixir is said to "promote the skin's natural barrier function" while "renewing and rejuvenating to restore a healthy glow".
It can be worn under make-up to even out skin tone, or by itself to brighten the complexion on make-up free days.
Not only that, but it claims to be a "blemish treatment", due to its anti-inflammatory powers.
Kate Middleton is also said to be a fan of natural anti-wrinkle gel Biotulin, which contains a local anaesthetic which freeze her face muscles and dissolve wrinkles.
According to skincare expert and Kate's Make-up artist, Arabella Preston, the Duchess is a big fan of the all natural £49 Biotulin.

The German-made product smooths and tightens skin, "dissolves" wrinkles and according the website contains Spilanthol which is a "local anaesthetic from the extract of the plant Acmella oleracea".
This ingredient is said to reduce muscle contraction and "relax the facial features".
It also contains a moisturising plant extract as well as hyaluronic acid which reportedly helps to counteract ageing.
According to the website, the firming effect is "visible after just one hour and lasts up to 9 hours", however, they do note that "risks and side effects of biotulin are unknown".
We'll have what they are having.
