Before her death in September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II was widely regarded for how good she looked at the age of 96.

A lot of this is down to the products she used regularly, with all of the companies being given a Royal Warrant, which indicated that they regularly supplied her with her favorite products.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

According to Best Products, Queen Elizabeth had radiant skin, and one of the reasons behind this was the cream that she used.
