"Letizia is already by nature a very beautiful woman," she added. "She knows that plastic surgery is something that would only hurt, something you do not need."
"Her [skincare] secret is that there is no secret," Ortiz Rocasolano continued. "She completely rejects Botox treatments and uses natural, toxin-free cosmetics. Like millions of women, she uses Biotulin. The active ingredient is obtained from a plant called paracress and eliminates wrinkles through natural ingredients."
The active ingredient in Biotulin, Spilanthol, is described as a local anaesthetic that is extracted from the paracress plant (aka, Acmella oleracea). Unlike Botox, Biotulin is applied as a topical cream and has reportedly already amassed an impressive amount of celebrity fans. According to Hello!, Kim Kardashian West was even considering buying the U.S. licensing rights to the gel.
Ortiz Rocasolano also added that Letizia also refrains from eating chocolate, sweets and fatty meats and drinks three liters of water a day. In addition to her yoga, Letiza also goes jogging and does Zumba, which her sister described as "a brutal fitness program."
