Queen Elizabeth II's favourite beauty products
We've got a round up of the Queen's beauty must-haves from some very reliable sources...

Although her hands and nails are usually hidden behind white gloves (worn so large crowds can spot her waving) it's rumoured that the Queen has been wearing Essie's Ballet Slippers, £7.99, since 1989 when the palace asked the founder, Essie Weingarten, for a bottle of it.

Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream, £21
It’s never been acknowledged by the palace, but it's safe to say that there might be a few Clarins products tucked away in the Queen's bathroom cabinet. After all, it was the beauty brand of choice to create a lip colour to match the Queen’s ceremonial robes for her coronation in 1953, and then granted a Royal Warrant in 2007. Her alleged favourite is the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment, £21, which immediately softens and rehydrates the hands.
