Meghan Markle's go-to face cream launches lighter version ‘perfect for summer'
This glow-boosting moisturiser is a cult classic – and a favourite with the Duchess of Sussex – and now a hotly-anticipated new version for oily and combination skin has just dropped
Back when her Instagram account was fairly new, Meghan Markle gave fans a glimpse at some of her favourite fashion and beauty products through her ShopMy page, and one product in particular caught our eye for being a beloved by so many beauty experts: Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream.
As its name suggest, Dewy Skin Cream, £67 – which is also a long-time favourite amongst beauty editors – instantly plumps and deeply hydrates skin, and gives it a juicy, radiant look that lasts all day. It's gorgeous under make-up or if you have dry skin, however those with oily or combination skin may have previously found it a bit too rich. However, this new version is the solution.
Tatcha has just launched the Dewy Milk Moisturizer into Space NK, with prices starting from £23. This new skincare product delivers the same much-loved dewy glow in a new, lighter, water-based formula that's perfect for slightly oilier skin types. Containing zinc, hyaluronic acid and green tea as well as Tatcha's iconic Japanese purple rice for hydration, Tatcha says this highly-requested new innovation helps to "balance excess oil while delivering 2x more skin bounce and a dewy, youthful-looking glow".
Dewy Milk Moisturizer might also be for you if you do like the original but prefer to use a product that's a bit lighter in summer, something that a number of happy customers have been pointing out:
One review titled 'Beautiful texture and perfect for summer' goes on to read: "I have combination skin, and this moisturiser works perfectly — even in the heat, it hydrates without making me oily. It gives a beautiful glow and keeps my skin feeling plump and balanced. I use it during the day and stick to the original Dewy Cream at night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight, glowy moisturiser!"
Another agreed, writing: "Tatcha Dewy Milk Moisturizer is a lighter version for the dewy cream, I prefer to use this light texture in the summer. It absorbs quickly, but gives perfect moisture and hydration. I love it is in bottle and not in a jar, more hygienic usage. I recommend for sure."
A third person also loved the radiance that it gave to skin: "I love this moisturiser! It's incredibly dewy and gives my skin such a beautiful, healthy glow. I've noticed a real difference in how soft and radiant my skin looks. I highly highly recommend this to anyone looking for hydration and that extra glow!"
One person, however, remarked that, despite loving Tatcha products, this one just wasn't for them. "The packaging was of course absolutely gorgeous, but the moisturiser itself was just not suited to my skin," the review reads. "The zinc left it quite sticky and it didn't sink in – it felt like I was putting on a zinc SPF, but without the SPF It also had that zinc scent too – I'm just not a zinc girlie it would seem!"
If you too want to avoid zinc and are looking for some alternative (and cheaper) lightweight moisturisers for summer, we also love BYOMA Moisturising Gel Cream, currently £9.60, The INKEY List Omega Water Cream Moisturizer, currently £8.80, and Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid Gel Moisturiser, £33.

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Meghan's £6.50-a-jar 'crafted' raspberry jam is made on an industrial estate 2,000 miles from Montecito
Her pricey jams are said to be ' inspired by the recipe Meghan Markle crafted in her home kitchen '. To emphasise the homely yet aspirational message, a heartwarming Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at home in California as four-year-old daughter Lilibet praises it as 'beautiful'. But until now mystery has surrounded exactly where the £6.50-a-jar raspberry spread sold by the Duchess of Sussex under her As Ever brand are actually made. Today the Mail can reveal that the sweet treat is manufactured by the same US giant which sells her £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey - priced at £20 ($28) a jar. Additionally the factory makes a 'strawberry and wild rose' preserve as part of a tie-up with Bridgerton - the hit series set in Regency England made by Netflix, with whom the Sussexes also have a deal. The firm - which has the decidedly un-Royal name The Republic of Tea - is headquartered in Larkspur, California, 350 miles away from Meghan's Montecito mansion. However its factory is 2,000 miles away in Illinois. Sources said that in order to formulate the commercially available product, they 'started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale.' With half-a-million visits to her As Ever website after the last 'product drop' on June 20, a tie-up with a commercial manufacturer was inevitable to satisfy customer demand. Neither the Sussexes nor Netflix has yet confirmed exactly where the spread - currently marked on Meghan's website as 'coming soon' - is made, or where the raspberries are sourced. But a source close to the Duchess said that in order to formulate the commercially available product, they 'started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale.' Nevertheless after months of marketing the preserve as an artisanal 'crafted' product, the truth will only increase scrutiny of the brand's sustainability credentials. Her website describes her 'signature' raspberry jam as 'inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen' – and also says it was deliberately ' crafted with a fluid texture '. But a video shared by the Duchess shows that her spread is made in a factory, with fingers quickly pointed at The Republic of Tea, which also makes a fruit preserve. Last week Mail Online revealed that it appears Meghan's hibiscus, lemon ginger and peppermint teas are made by the firm thanks to tell-tale metadata on the As Ever website. Meghan's £9 ($12) tins of hibiscus tea contain 12 bags, equivalent to 73p per cup - three times as much as Republic of Tea's own product. The Duchess has gone to great lengths to portray the preserve as an artisanal product. There was an enchanting video posted to her Instagram Stories showing a bubbling pot of the jam and featuring four-year-old Lilibet Its 'Natural Hibiscus Tea Bags' retail at £8.45 ($11.50) for a tin of 36, working out at 24p (32 cents) per cup, albeit in differently-shaped bags. Republic of Tea also makes jars of Bridgerton strawberry and wild rose tea fruit preserve, priced at £9 ($12) for a 306g jar - working out at around the same price per gram as Meghan's offering. Its ingredients are listed as: 'Strawberries, cane sugar, wild rose syrup (custom rose tea blend, rosewater, cane sugar), lemon juice, fruit pectin.' Meanwhile Meghan's As Ever raspberry spread - it is not, technically, a jam because of its high fruit content - is made from: 'Raspberries, organic pure cane sugar, organic lemon juice concentrate and fruit pectin'. Meghan revealed for the first time in February that 'jam is my jam' – and recorded a video explaining why those who know her best are aware of her secret love of making jam. When she first released 50 fruit spreads and sent them to her nearest and dearest friends she was careful to point out that each one was home made at her kitchen table using her own recipe. On her Netflix show With Love, Meghan described harvesting berries in her kitchen, making small-batch jars, saying: 'I did save one of 50 for my mom.' Meghan's As Ever products including her jam launched in April and rapidly sold out Last night a source close to Meghan confirmed to the Daily Mail that Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread but said the supplier was changing. The firm also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey - priced at £20 ($28) a jar - although it is not known whether it also manufacturers her newly-released apricot preserve. In a statement, US streaming giant Netflix said: 'Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. 'It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly. 'We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever products throughout the year and beyond.'

Starmer demands BBC explanation for broadcasting Bob Vylan's 'appalling' chant
Chanting on a stage at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan called for the death of Israeli soldiers, footage which was available on BBC iPlayer until the corporation took it down Keir Starmer has demanded BBC bosses "explain" how a punk duo calling for the death of Israeli soldiers was broadcast from Glastonbury. Pro-Palestine act Bob Vylan chanted "death, death to the IDF" in a sickening rant on stage at the festival. Bobby Vylan, singer and guitarist of the duo, has since posted a defiant message on Instagram, despite police confirming officers are looking into his tirade. And the Prime Minister, who also said Glastonbury Festival organisers should not have let controversial rappers Kneecap appear on stage, has described Bob Bylan's words as "appalling hate speech". Mr Starmer, 62, said: "There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast." The BBC, which did not stream Kneecap live, conceded comments made by Bob Vylan were "deeply offensive". The duo's performance is no longer available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Event chiefs said they were "appalled" after the music double act led the crowd in "death to the IDF" chants during their performance. Glastonbury had previously said all are welcome at the festival but added it "does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers". Referring to Bob Vylan, Glastonbury organisers said on Sunday: "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." Israeli politicians, including the country's deputy foreign minister, Sharren Haskel, blasted the BBC and Glastonbury for failing to cut off the performance during the live broadcast. The singer from the pro-Palestine punk act, who keeps his identity secret, also shouted "from the river to the sea Palestine... will be free" - regarded by Jews as a call for Israel 's elimination. IDF stands for Israel Defence Forces, the national military of the State of Israel, which is currently involved with the war in Gaza, one of two remaining Palestinian territories. Avon and Somerset Police are now examining video evidence and investigating if any offence had been committed. However, Bobby Vylan has since said on Instagram: "I said what I said." The dad shared a lengthy statement to follow up, in which he stated: "Tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy." A BBC spokesperson said: "We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. "We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts stage. "As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings. As we have said before, acts are booked by the festival, and the BBC doesn't ban artists. We didn't stream Kneecap live. "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand."
