Cat Deeley’s beauty secrets revealed

Known for her radiant complexion, presenter Cat Deeley has shared her beauty secrets – which, surprisingly, is a quick (and easy) three-step routine with brand Ella & Jo. Even skincare novices could get the hang of it. Deeley adds: “What I love about Ella & Jo products is that my skincare routine is so quick and easy, every day.” With our lives often feeling like a hectic rush, sometimes self-care can be put on hold for other things. But, here's your chance to prioritise your skin - and look after it well. If you want to know how Cat stays glowing on and off-screen, you can find out below.

Step one

Cat massages a coin-sized amount of the Cleanser into her face for 60 seconds. A longtime sufferer of dry skin, Deeley sometimes leaves it on for up to 10 minutes for those bad skin days. This way, the Exfoliating Cleanser can act as a deeper cleanse – and can be a “multi-tasking skin hero”, says the presenter. We’re sure you’re familiar with the morning rush, especially when you have children.

Cat recommends leaving it on to work its gentle magic.

Deep, exfoliating treatment

A real multi-tasking skin hero, this gentle daily Ella & Jo Brighten and Glow Hydrating Exfoliating Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, primed for cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating dull and dry skin types.

Customer review: "It does both exfoliating and hydrating, suitable for all types of skin even for the most sensitive ones. Skin looks brighter, smoother, hydrated and glowing after use and a little goes a long, long way. Excellent mixture of natural key ingredients and practically it’s an all-in-one cleaner and treatment at the same time. The price is justified if you’re looking at the benefits of using this product."

Pros

  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates

Cons

  • It may not suit everybody

Step two

Next, comes the hyaluronic serum – onto her face, neck and décolletage. Lightweight, this Cat Deeley beauty secret works wonders under any make-up to prep her skin – much like a skin primer – and has even been approved by her make-up artist: “It’s a skincare must-have.” Let’s not forget the power of a hyaluronic acid serum, primed for skin repair, reducing redness, smoothing wrinkles and more.

“I love it, as it gives me the boost of hydration I need,” the presenter adds.

Support your skin

Winner of Best New Serum in the UK Pure Beauty Awards 2023, the Ella & Jo Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum has been designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve collagen levels, whilst soothing and moisturising.

Customer review: "This is an absolutely brilliant serum. It goes on to the face nicely and is perfect for using just before moisturising properly. I quite like the smell and the quality just felt really good. It's not something I really used before properly, however, I quite enjoyed using it and felt it made all the difference in the routine."

Pros

  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
  • Soothing, moisturising and healing

Cons

  • Some customers said that the serum is slightly sticky

Step three

Lastly, an SPF cream is sacrosanct for any skincare routine. Whilst protecting your face from the sun is important, Deeley stresses that you should look after your neck, chest, ears and hands, too –with several applications of the SPF day cream throughout the day. Whether in front of the camera or with her sons, the presenter is prepared with a tool full of good stuff to “plump, hydrate and protect [her] skin.”

“This day cream is just exactly what I need,” she adds.

Prevent sun skin damage

Ella & Jo Plump and Protect SPF 30-Day Cream is your daily hydrator, fortified with skin-loving ingredients like ceramides and glycerin. Defends against UVA, pollution, and blue light, reducing pigmentation and sun damage.

Customer review: "Easy to apply. Easily absorbs on my dry skin. Smells “natural”. Love that it has SPF 30 already so I don’t need to apply Sun cream on ordinary days, especially in sunny weather like the past couple of weeks. I know my face is protected and I can feel it. Great new brand to try. My skin feels and looks lovely and love wearing my face bare every day. Looks radiant and healthy."

Pros

  • Shields your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays
  • Maintains hydration and wards off daily damage

Cons

  • May not sit well with all make-up types

Other favourites

This cleaning balm (meets make-up remover) could be your new best friend, ensuring your skin stays healthy. After all, you’ll be relying on glitzy make-up, swanning from party to party – and will want to rely on something gentle, yet effective for the end of the night. Plus, it’s filled with skin-loving antioxidants, such as Raspberry Seed Oil, Squalane and Coconut Oil.

Cat says, "I apply a small amount onto dry hands and rub together where it magically transforms into a delicate oil. It's supercharged with antioxidant ingredients, which I always look for in my skin care products."

Perfect for removing make-up

Indulge in a luxurious Ella & Jo Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover, a nightly ritual to cleanse, hydrate, and nourish. It is a makeup remover infused with antioxidants, leaving skin smooth and balanced - and suitable for all skin types.

Customer review: "This cleansing balm removes makeup very easily and is perfect for sensitive skin and eyes as well and it’s really hydrating…. Perfect for double cleansing."

Pros

  • Night-time cleansing treatment
  • Packed with antioxidant ingredients

Cons

  • Some customers found it very oily with a thick consistency

At night time, after removing her makeup, Cat likes to complete her skincare routine with the Ella and Jo Relax & Renew Night Cream. She says, "Not only does this product smell amazing it also contains Bakuchiol, which is a natural alternative to Retinol, that works just as efficiently but without any skin irritation which is perfect for me! This whole routine takes less than 5 minutes but makes me feel a million dollars!"

Best for a night cream

Replenish your skin as you sleep with this Ella and Jo Relax & Renew Night Cream. It has vegan ingredients which help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, giving you a clearer complexion.

Customer review: "Love this night cream. I received the small pot as a gift & delighted I purchased the large size. My skin feels really comfortable after using it; it’s moisturising but not tacky. My skin has never looked better since I started using Ella & Jo."

Pros

  • Nice scent
  • Soaks in quickly

Cons

  • One user said it wasn't as rich as they expected
