We are delighted about reports that Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton has been using our very own Ané Face cloths as part of her daily skincare routine.
According to Hello USA Kate is said to be a fan of cleansing her face with our Ané flannel at the end of the day.
Hello also says that Arabella Preston, who was the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding day makeup artist, insists it's the best way to remove makeup and dirt from your skin, and gently exfoliate.
Whilst we have no way of confirming that Kate uses our face cloths we do know they are much loved by other celebrities and women throughout the world. They are one of our best sellers both our Amazon stores in the United States and the UK, as well as our own website beautybyane.com
Ané Auret, the founder of Ané Skincare said "I'm absolutely delighted that the Duchess of Cambridge is reported to be using our cloths. They have always been a key part of my own skincare routine and they are the first thing I recommend to customers looking for better skin and and easy, affordable way to improve their skincare routine”.
Cleansing is the cornerstone of a good skincare routine. Not properly cleansing the skin regularly can result in issues such as breakouts, dehydration, black heads, a blotchy complexion and signs of premature ageing. It also reduces the effectiveness of the follow on products in your routine.
The double sided Ané face cloths elevate your skin cleansing routine and gives thoroughly cleansed skin, perfectly prepared for the next steps in your skincare routine.

You've probably seen the terms "hydration" and "moisture" used interchangeably everywhere, used as if they're the same thing. One adds water to your skin, the other seals it in, and both are essential, especially after 35 when our natural processes start to slow down.
While it may be true that both refers to water levels in the skin, there is a difference in terms of the mechanisms, as well as product formulation practices and ingredient choices - and therefore the product choices in your routine.
If your skin feels tight, dull, or dry no matter what you use, the missing link might be knowing whether you need (more) hydration, moisture, or both.
In this blog guide, I’ll unpack the science and show you how to balance hydration and moisture for smoother, stronger, more radiant skin.

Many women in midlife assume that struggles with weight, energy, and hormones are simply “part of ageing.” But often, there’s something else quietly driving these changes: hidden, low-level inflammation.
This type of silent inflammation doesn’t always show up as obvious skin problems or dramatic allergic reactions. Instead, it works beneath the surface — disrupting hormones, draining energy, locking weight in place, and slowly accelerating the ageing process in both body and skin.
Food intolerances, gut imbalances, and hormonal shifts are all connected. Addressing inflammation and gut health is just as vital as supporting hormones if we want to feel better and protect our skin health in midlife.
This blog explores how hidden inflammation impacts hormones, metabolism, and skin, and what practical steps can help calm it down. If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, this may be the missing piece.
