It is now a ritual. As soon as an information about Kate Middleton comes to filter, the British media rub their hands. We remember the post-childbirth secret of the princess whose fresh complexion had made the cheeks of many Britons pink with jealousy. Due to his good looks, this one had let go that she was quite simply fond of natural care and bios for his skin. However, the latest revelation from Deborah Mitchell, esthetician of stars like Victoria Beckham or Gwyneth Paltrow, could shower the enthusiasm of fans of pure juice. organic cosmetics. To be considered as true. Because this is the whole debate that divides fans of Kate Middleton.

The bone of contention, here it is: is Kate Middleton a fan of Nutella masks? Deborah Mitchell claimed on the set of the British show This Morning on February 15, 2017 that she enjoyed using Nutella masks for these famous clients. For this treatment, she explained that she mixed the paste with sugar and lip balm before applying the preparation on the face for a few minutes. While the interviewee did not clearly give names, the rumor that the beauty pro would take care of Kate Middleton spread quickly.

The Kensington Palace denial

If this information were proven, it would be a departure from her organic skincare routine defended by Kate Middleton. The famous spread rich in Palm oil is indeed anything but natural. Not to mention that one can doubt the nourishing benefits for the skin of sfats.

While the main interested party did not react clearly to the subject of Nutella, Kensington Palace, residence of the Duchess, saw fit to sweep this false controversy by ensuring that Catherine Middleton was not a client de Deborah Mitchell.

In other words, if there are Nutella masks, they could be applied to the skin of other stars that beauticians like Gwyneth Paltrow take care of, but certainly not to Kate’s.

Should we be wary of masksblacks for the face sold on the Internet? The question arises after users have complained of irritation and itching after using three products sold on the Internet. The Federation of Beauty Companies (FEBEA) warns about the circulation of “black mask” products sold on the Internet but not in compliance with regulations.

Problem, some care would present health risks. Users have complained of adverse reactions such as irritation, burns and allergies.

FEBEA experts investigated following reports concerning three products: “Black Mask” from the One1x brand, “Suction Black Mask” from Cidbest as well as “Purifying Peel-off Mask” from Buoceans, charcoal-based masks and glue. The conclusions are relentless: “neither the manufacturers nor the distributors respect their obligations and […] this can have serious consequences on the health of consumers “, specifies the FEBEA on its site.
