This Grey’s Anatomy Star Gives Credit to These Effective Skincare Routines

"Really, I don't care if people think I'm too skinny. This is my body. If they don't like it, screw it."

Ellen Pompeo, also known as Meredith Grey in the popular American medical drama series Grey’s Anatomy, is one of the highest-paid women on television. She is an iconic television personality known for her outstanding performances. In addition to being an actress, Pompeo is an activist who advocates for causes like equal pay, animal welfare, and diversity in the workplace. With years of experience in the industry, she’s learned some beauty secrets to maintain that glow!

In an interview with Into The Gloss, Ellen Pompeo openly discussed any past skin treatments she may have taken but does not advocate for them now. She said, “I mean, there’s only so much I can do at 45. I’m going to age, it’s fine. I don’t have Botox, I don’t have fillers, I don’t have anything, so you know, I really have to eat well and exercise and do everything, because I don’t want to put stuff in my face.” The star had undergone certain treatments to maintain her youthful appearance and keep her skin tight and plump. However, she shared that for her role in the TV show Grey’s Anatomy, she wanted to look more natural on camera and do justice to her character. She acquired a very simple and clean skincare routine where she used ice and alkaline water and splashed her face enough times after cleansing to feel the tightness in the skin.

Pompeo also swears by enriching facials that help keep her skin looking youthful and plump. In her interviews, she raved about the high-frequency facials she had taken since 2019. She told NewBeauty, “Frequency facials with Joanna Vargas. I don’t love fillers or Botox, so I have to get a lot of facials and drink a ton of water. I feel like the frequency facial makes a difference in my skin—it makes it tighter.” In fact, some studies suggest that radiofrequency can improve skin laxity in 96% of the participants, so the results are great. These facials help smooth lines and wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, contour the face, and even sculpt the body when used on the rest of the body.

Pompeo confesses to not using a myriad of products to do her skincare routine. She admits she’s a five-minute skin care person who loves using a cleanser, melon serum, and then a day cream with SPF. After all, we all know how important sunscreen is, right girls and boys? She also shares a beautiful message for women worldwide. She asks women to focus beyond their physical appearance and think of their contribution to the world and what makes them beautiful from within.
