Tess, who is married to Vernon Kay, 50, and mother to two teenage daughters, then added: “It’s gorgeous.

How does Tess Daly stay looking young?
SHE shines every Saturday night as she takes to the BBC ballroom to host Strictly Come Dancing – a job she’s had since the very first series in 2004.
But almost two decades on, 55-year-old presenter Tess Daly has never looked better and has managed to not only keep ageing at bay, but somehow look years younger.
While Tess has a naturally slim physique – she’s a former teen model who worked in New York City – she’s also found exactly what works for her.
And that means that in the past twenty years, Tess, who also hosts other big BBC shows like Children in Need, has perfected the products in her make-up bag and skincare cupboard.
She’s also upped her fashion game further and steps out with her skin always glowing – something that’s not just down to the infamous Strictly tan.
But what does Tess. who has two daughters with fellow TV star husband Vernon Kay, swear by, and what is her skincare, diet and exercise regime really like?
WHAT SKINCARE PRODUCTS DOES TESS USE?
Tess credits her mum, Sylvia, with teaching her the importance of a good skincare routine from an early age.
She said in a previous interview: “When it comes to cleansing, I use micellar water with a cotton pad to take my make-up off.
“I also wouldn’t dream of going to bed without moisturising and in the morning I moisturise after I cleanse because dry skin as we know looks a lot more aged than moisturised, luminous-looking skin.”
In the chat with Evoke, Tess also said that while her products change from time to time, she had started to use Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream, which can be bought from for £77.
Other products she’s raved about in the past include Estee Lauder’s Instant Refinishing Facial Exfoliating Cream, which she revealed she used a couple of times a week.
The product, which costs around £44 promises to “softly buff dead skin and debris with micro-refined particles, refining texture and renewing clarity and radiance.”
They add: “[The] active extracts and nutrients work to boost moisture levels, visibly softening the look of pores and wrinkles.”
WHAT EXERCISE DOES TESS DO?
Despite presenting the most famous dancing show on TV, Tess’ exercise regime is less ballroom and latin and more yoga and skipping.
The star said she used to exercise on a more “ad-hoc” basis, before now doing it much more regularly.
Her favourite exercises include yoga – particularly a class she can do at home in between working and running a busy household.
She explained: “I love Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. I’ve tried others but I just keep going back to her because she has a solution for everything I’m feeling.
“If I skip it for, say, three days in a row, I start to feel twitchy – as though I’ve missed doing something that’s good for me. I actually feel more flexible now.”
The mum-of-two has also revealed she works with a personal trainer called Sam Shaw.
Between the two of them they’ve come up with a tailored fitness plan for Tess, who prefers morning
Her trainer told Women’s Health: “We usually train in the morning to get her ready to take on her day with a winning mindset after smashing training.”
They get stuck into a varied line-up of workouts from intermittent skipping to get her heart rate up to jumping on a mini-trampoline. And Sam said her rest days are also important, as she usually has two a week.
WHAT DIET DOES TESS FOLLOW?
Tess has previously opened up about following a healthy, balanced diet, full of nutritious items.
After reading a book called The Food Pharmacy by Jean Carper which she picked up at a flea market in New York, Tess said she started to think about food differently.
She explained: “It was all about using food as an equivalent to medicine – for example, something as basic as rubbing half a garlic clove on a piece of sourdough bread and pouring olive oil on it.
“That kind of thing is brilliant for your bloodstream and your immune system.”
Since, she’s adapted this for her own busy lifestyle, and opened up about the dishes she likes to rustle up for both her and her family.
Speaking about what she typically has for breakfast, Tess previously told Getthegloss.com: “Sometimes I have a power smoothie or juice but mostly I like Greek yoghurt with a handful of frozen blueberries.
“I microwave them and make a puree to put on top of the yoghurt. It’s like having pudding for breakfast – divine – or I’ll have a banana on toast with honey.”
But she also revealed that the key is, you guessed it, enjoying everything in moderation. And she’ll never hold herself back if she fancies a treat.
Tess added: “At the weekend, I’ll cook us all a nice big veggie breakfast with lots of eggs and grilled tomatoes. Lunch is usually a sandwich – I love bread, I would never ever give that up.”
For best results, simply apply as the last step of your evening skincare routine to lock in any serums and ensure your skin is perfectly plump and dewy after some much-needed beauty sleep.
Tess also shared her love for the affordable cream with GetTheGloss, as she added: “I swear by overnight masks.
“You just wake up feeling hydrated and plumped, especially to counteract all of the central heating at the moment.”
Beauty fans beam
But Tess isn’t the only shopper to love this affordable buy – as many beauty enthusiasts flocked to the Amazon website to praise the cheap cream.
One person said: “I am 50 years old. This is a great budget product and I use it everyday.
It’s a lightweight cream but very rich in moisture. Keeps my face hydrated without the oily look
Amazon shopper
“My skin is lovely and soft and it can be used after needling as it’s a repair cream. Very soothing. Recommend.”
Another added: “On my third tub of this now which is rare for me as I normally don’t stick with the same product long. But, this ticks all my boxes!
“Excellent product for the price point, it is great for locking in any serums/products you are using and skin actually feels hydrated after use which is great especially in winter.
“It is not so heavy that it feels greasy but feels very nourishing. Really can’t go wrong with this!”
A third commented: “I must say this facial cream is really really good. It’s a lightweight cream but very rich in moisture. Keeps my face hydrated without the oily look.
“I have sensitive skin and this cream caused NO issues at all. My skin is dry (only because of the cold season) and this moisturised my skin very well. I’m happy with this product overall. Will purchase again.”
