Kate Middleton's beauty secrets lie in a £5 face cream

The Duchess of Cambridge is expected to push up sales of a face cream that costs a measly £5.10, after she was spotted buying the vanity cream from a chemist just before attending a gala charity dinner.

‘Nivea Visage Pure and Natural Moisturising Day Cream’, which contains Kate Middleton’s beauty secret, is expected to fly off from shop shelves, as fans clamour to recreate the young royal’s look.

“Kate looked like an ordinary shopper as she went up to the counter to buy her cream. She was friendly and chatty as she paid her £5.10. It was only when I took a second glance that I realised who she was,” The Telegraph quoted a shopper as saying.

The cream enriched with natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, is a relative bargain when compared with other beauty products.

Fans, who have been emulating her clothes and style, are now expected to endorse the same face cream, which the royal bride swears by.
