AS everyone gets geared up for a New Year glow-up, Kate Middleton is keeping things the same as 2023.
The 41-year-old Princess of Wales has an arsenal of beauty and wellness tricks to help her glow from within.

Among these is using a face mask made from bee venom, bouncing on the trampoline before the school run and favouring a fake tan that lasts for two weeks at a time.
Here, Fabulous breaks down how you can achieve the royal mum-of-three’s glow this year.
Pre-school Trampoline Sessions
Kate revealed in a chat with the England Rugby team that she bounces on the trampoline with Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, to get a cardio-induced glow.
“Whenever I can squeeze in exercise, I do,” she said. “Even jumping on the trampoline with my children before school."

Jumping up and down on a trampoline will improve your cardiovascular health by repeatedly working your heart and pumping blood throughout your body.
You’ll get the glow from looking after your heart, enhancing your muscle definition and the stress-reducing hormones produced through exercise.
Bee Venom Face Mask
According to Vanity Fair, one product Kate favours above most is Heaven's by Deborah Mitchell’s Silver Bee Venom Mask.
It contains Abeetoxin, the venom of a work bee which is harvested from beehives.

The product has gained worldwide kudos and been hailed as a natural alternative to Botox thanks to its ability to tighten the skin and firm up facial muscles.
A 60ml pot of the face mask will set you back £89 full-price, but it’s currently reduced to £60 on the Heaven website.
Wild Child
Kate doesn’t just love jumping on the trampoline to get her heart rate up - she’s a huge fan of wild swimming in freezing water.
I will go and seek out cold water. I love it. The colder, the better.

"Cold swimming - the colder, the better,” she revealed on a podcast with fellow-royal Mike Tindall. "I will go and seek out cold water. I love it."
Known as cold water therapy, plunging your body in cold baths, seas or lakes has anti-ageing benefits as it can tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of pores.
It’s also been proven to help reduce inflammation and puffiness, which can be especially beneficial if you suffer with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Two-week Tan
We all know the pain of putting a fresh coat of fake tan on, only for it to fade unevenly in the shower and leave behind a patchy pattern.
According to royal experts, the Princess of Wales can’t relate as she’s privy to a fake tan that lasts two weeks.
For her royal wedding day, the royal bride reportedly used the Xen-Tan Instant Bronzing Mist to achieve her natural look.
The £26.99 product is said to last two weeks with two applications and produces the appearance of an olive undertone, making your bronzy glow look natural.
Two Smoothies a Day
Being a working royal and mum-of-three is thirsty work, so Kate keeps her body and skin nourished with two smoothies a day.
According to previous reports, she starts her day with a vitamin boost by whizzing up a smoothie - and then has another one in the afternoon.
"She drinks smoothies morning and afternoon, containing spirulina, kale, matcha (a finely ground green tea powder), spinach, romaine, cilantro and blueberries," a source told the Daily Mail.
Spirulina is particularly key to making your skin glow, as it gently detoxifies and encourages cell renewal from inside the body for a bright complexion.
Fishy Business
It’s no secret that the omega-3 fats in fish reduce inflammation and acne, naturally aiding a brighter complexion.
Prince William once revealed how Kate loves Sushi, indicating that fish is a big part of her gut-to-glow pipeline.
My wife and I love sushi. We might have to come down here for lunch when there’s no one else down.

Fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and herring, are great diet choices if you’re trying to achieve a glowing complexion in 2024.
As they’re rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, they’ll help keep skin bouncy and moisturised.
Sleeping Beauty
When your schedule is as busy as Kate’s, making the most of your beauty sleep is vital for maintaining glowing skin.
She is known to make her skincare products work overtime when she’s catching Zs by lathering up in elixirs.
Insiders claim that the Beuti Skincare Beauty Sleep Elixir is her go-to, and she keeps a stash of bottles on her nightstand.

The £47 product contains 14 plant-based oils that slow down the enzyme responsible for ageing and prevent the breakdown of collagen, the protein in our skin that stops it from sagging.
Collagen gives skin a plump appearance but starts deteriorating in our mid-20s, so Kate is beating the natural ageing process by delaying how quickly it breaks down.
