From her glittering gowns to her glowing skin, Holly Willoughby has been nailing her Dancing on Ice presenting looks. If you’ve been coveting Holly Willoughby's fresh, glowing skin lately you’re not alone, and thankfully for beauty fans everywhere, her makeup artist Patsy O’Neill has shared exactly what she uses to get the host’s radiant complexion.
In an Instagram post last week, Patsy shared the exact products she used to prep Holly’s skin ahead of the weekly presenting slot, and it included the Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser, £30.92 here (was £44). The award-winning formula helps hydrated and brighten your skin, and is the perfect does-it-all staple to have in your daily skincare routine.
The Elemis moisturiser works as a daily moisturiser, as well as a makeup primer and a highlighter, and helps create the perfect smooth, glowing canvas to apply your makeup on top of. Its moisture-rich ingredients list helps plump up your skin thanks to a combination of kombucha and fermented ginger, both of which encourage a radiant appearance.
It also contains fermented green tea oil to protect your skin’s microbiome, as well as illuminating minerals which catch and reflect the light and give your skin that enviably dewy glow. To use it, you simply need to apply a pea-sized amount to your skin each morning after cleansing, and massage it into your face and neck.
To use it as a highlighter, dab a rice grain-sized amount into your skin, focussing on the high points like your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your cupid’s bow where the light naturally catches. The moisturiser is currently on sale on Amazon, where it’s been slashed from its usual price of £44 to £30.92, or you can pick it up as part of a glow-boosting bundle that includes the Elemis Superfood Fruit Vinegar Liquid Glow for £56.27 here (was £74).
Patsy also revealed the other products she uses to prep Holly’s skin, and the routine is surprisingly simple. Before the Elemis moisturiser, she also uses This Works’ In Transit No Traces face cleansing pads, £18 here, to help cleanse Holly’s skin and make sure its clean and clear ready for her makeup.
The gentle face cleansing pads help maintain your skin’s pH balance and easily remove all traces of makeup, dirt and pollution. They’re also suitable for sensitive skin, and are perfect for using on the go or when travelling.
To finish off Holly’s skincare prep, Patsy also applies Beauty Pie’s Depuffing Under Eye Gel Pads, £32 here (for members, £70 for non-members), to help reduce any inflammation or puffiness. The cooling gel patches help make Holly’s eyes look brighter and more awake, as well as repairing the skin barrier and hydrating her complexion.
