Cat Deeley has shared her clever skincare hack for the heatwave that helps reduce puffiness, brightens and cools down her under eyes before presenting This Morning
The heatwave can cause havoc on your skin, with the heat and humidity making your skin feel puffy, sweaty and tired. Luckily, Cat Deeley has found a brilliant solution that helps refresh and revive your skin instantly, and it couldn’t be easier to do.
Taking to Instagram to her morning beauty routine before hosting This Morning, Cat revealed that she swears by Charlotte Tilbury’s Eye Revival Patches to help brighten under her eyes before appearing on screen. But to boost their de-puffing properties and make them extra effective, Cat shared that she always keeps her eye masks in the fridge, which chills them right down and makes them ultra-cooling amidst the heatwave.

Showing her morning routine on Insta, Cat said “eye masks fresh out the fridge” and wrote: “We could all do with some Charlotte Tilbury this morning!” The Hollywood Skin Secrets Immediate Eye Revival Patches are £58 for 60 pairs, and promise to make your under-eyes look brighter, rested and “snatched” in as little as 10 minutes.
They’re soaked in a serum which creates an “eye-lift effect in a jar” by reducing the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles, whilst also boosting hydration, firmness and elasticity. And, by popping them in the fridge, Cat creates a cryo effect which cools eyes, amping up the de-puffing and refreshing feeling which leaves your eyes much more awake – even if you’re running on very little sleep.
The Charlotte Tilbury patches are, however, a little bit of a splurge, working out at just under £1 per pair of eye masks, so if you want something a little more budget-friendly, we’ve got you. The Biodance Collagen Peptide Eye Patches are £21 for 30 pairs, with the K beauty brand packing its eye masks with gentle but effective actives to boost elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and improve brightness.
Alternatively, you can get the REHAB. After Sun Under Eye Patches for £16 per five pairs, which focus on a cooling, soothing sensation to reduce puffiness and dehydration after you’ve been out in the sun. For a great deal, Grace and Stella has just slashed the price of its Moisturising Pink Eye Masks from £31 to £20 for 24 pairs, and they’re so well-loved that they appeared in The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Emily Blunt’s character.
No matter which eye masks you choose, following in Cat’s footsteps and keeping your patches in the fridge is the perfect way to boost their effectiveness and refreshing feeling. This also applies to sheet masks and moisturisers, which all benefit from a little cooling feeling before being applied.
