As the Duchess of Sussex steps out with glowing skin, is this the regime she's been following?
When it comes to beauty, the main talking point around the Duchess of Sussex is always her hair and her chignon, but yesterday the Duchess caused quite the beauty conversation about just how flawless her skin looks. Stepping out in Chichester alongside her husband, the Duchess debuted a royal-worthy glow that must be down to a strict skincare regime.
Whilst we all know it's Royal protocol to never reveal who your chosen beauty team are, the Duchess has been rumoured to be a huge fan of facialist Sarah Champan. In a previous interview the Duchess revealed that Chapman was her go-to for a gorgeous healthy glow.
Chapman is one of London's most sought-after facialists who has treated an array of A-list clients and often has a three month waiting list at her clinic in London. Her treatments are known for delivering outstanding results due to her cutting-edge gadgets and effective skincare.
"I noticed that the products I could rely on for results in the clinic came in medical-type packaging that clients wouldn’t necessarily want to add to their bathroom shelves," says Chapman. Taking four years to develop, Chapman launched her Skinesis range in 2008, and it's rumoured the Duchess of Sussex is a big fan of the range.
In store, every facial is bespoke and tailored to each client. Chapman tells us that her "clients have always been the inspiration behind new formulas, leading the creativity in product and treatment development in order to combat real skin concerns." She uses unique 'gymnastic' massage techniques combined with her Skinesis products to gently sculpt and evoke a glow like no other.
Chapman is known for her discretion and remains tight-lipped about who her clients are, which is even more of a reason she is so highly rated among celebrities and the Royals. Here's how to adopt a Duchess-worthy glow a-la Sarah Chapman.
Step one:
Skinesis Overnight Facial, ￡49
This overnight facial is Champan's secret to her signature Skinesis glow. The formula includes smart-ageing ingredient vitamin A that prolongs skin cells to create a healthier complexion. Chapman says, "My multi-award-winning Overnight Facial is the perfect introduction to cosmeceutical skincare. It’s been my bestseller since I launched it nearly 10 years ago and people have just completely fallen in love with the results. It really is beauty sleep in a bottle."
Step two:
Sarah Champan Skinesis Instant Miracle Mask, ￡43
This mask is enriched with moisturising hyaluronic acid, protein skin tighteners and Moroccan lava clay that is designed to lift, smooth and brighten the skin. Straight away your skin feels softer, fresher, healthier and smoothes out uneven skin tone. This is your go-to-product for an at-home facial.
Step three:
Sarah Chapman Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse, ￡44
Cleansing is one of the most important stages of your beauty regime. This is an oil-based cleanser that is rich in omega and formulated with collagen stimulating peptides and antioxidants, that are designed to effectively remove all face and eye make-up whilst giving your skin a deep and nourishing cleanse. Chapman says that cleansing "is absolutely non-negotiable. Clean skin is the foundation of a healthy, glowing complexion and next to SPF it is the most important part of any skincare routine."
Step four:
Sarah Chapman Skinesis Eye Recovery, ￡44
It's really important to incorporate an eye cream in your daily routine. The skin around your eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the face, making it more prone to damage and because your eyes are constantly moving and blinking it makes it highly susceptible to forming wrinkles.
Using your regular face moisturiser around your eyes simply isn't enough, especially if you want to combat wrinkles. Champan's Eye Recovery cream contains an effective formula that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. The formula is packed full of firming ingredients such as, Hyaluronic Filling Spheres which have an instant smoothing effect but will also plumping fine lines. For best results, apply this cream between your brows and around your eyes. It can also be used as an upper lip mask to combat fine lines around your mouth.
