Tess Daly has shared the skincare products she can't be without.

The Strictly presenter chatted about her skincare routine in an interview with The Telegraph.

She extolled the virtues of non-surgical salon treatment ultherapy (where ultrasound technology is used to boost the skin's natural collagen) for a "natural-looking results". But when it comes to what she uses at home, there's a £18 essential that she buys on repeat.

The product in question is an important step in Tess' routine – and one lots of us skip: a high factor facial SPF.

Tess' favourite is by French pharmacy brand, La Roche Posay. It's specially formulated for sensitive skin, but still sweat-proof, waterproof and formulated with SPF 50 to provide much-needed year-round protection from the sun's harmful UV rays and blue light emitted from laptops and phones.

You can pick up the ultra-light invisible fluid sun cream for £18 at Cult Beauty right now.

Tess also follows a strict day and night skincare routine, currently using Clarins' Super Restorative Day Cream, £77, in the morning and Estee Lauder's Instant Refinishing Facial Exfoliating Cream, £44, a couple of times a week to buff away dead skin cells.

While ultratherapy will set you back £500 a session, these buys are a much more affordable way to mimic Tess' glowing skin at home.

But it's not just the presenter's skincare routine we know about, as her makeup artist for Strictly Come Dancing has also shared some insider beauty tips too on Tess' perfect nude lip.

Makeup artist Aimee Adams, who also does the makeup of other celebrities such as Paris Fury and Christine McGuinness, recently disclosed the exact product she used on Tess during a Strictly show.

The best news is that it's an affordable product and available at Boots.

The secret weapon is a duo product from Sculpted by Aimee Connolly, in the shade 'nude'. Considering similar products like the cult-favourite Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk lipstick alone is £26 and the matching lip liner is £19, making the total £45, this two-in-one product is a much more affordable option.

On one end, the product includes a fine creamy liner, which is in an ever so slightly darker shade of sandy brown, and helps you perfectly outline your pout. While on the other end is a thicker lipstick in a warm pink nude with peachy undertones, which has a satin-like finish.

Although Aimee Adams also said in the Instagram comment that she finished off Tess' look with a gloss, she didn't specify which one.

If the tone doesn't look quite right for you, the duo lipstick is also available in two other shades: 'naked' a neutral pink nude with a deep rose liner, and 'bare' which is a modern take on a 90's lip with a warm brown lipstick and deep brown liner.
