Meghan Markle is a travel pro, so when you feel less than hot on an all-day road trip or delayed flight, turn to her fave multitasking essential oil. "It's not the most glamorous thing, but if you get a cut, a mosquito bite, a small breakout, no matter what it is, it's my little cure-all," she said to Allure. "It's inexpensive, it's small enough to carry on, and I bring it with me all the time."

"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. Oh, we so know what you mean.
Real Chemistry Deluxe Luminous 3-Minute Peel
Real Chemistry

According to Birchbox, the former actress "fell in love" with this acid-free peel during visits to its HQ. To use, spread a thin layer of the clear gel across your face, neck, and décollete.

Even with all the fancy moisturizing products out there, Meghan still loves this drugstore staple. "I use this religiously," she told Beauty Banter of her favorite Nivea moisturizer. "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." Good news: You can order three bottles at once on Amazon. (Does Prime deliver to the palace?!)
Davines SU Hair and Body Wash

Proof that these luxe French candles justify the investment: Meghan loved hers so much that an Instagram revealed she burned the entire votive!
