Ellen Pompeo Reveals the Secret Behind Her Radiant Glow
Ellen Pompeo, best known for her iconic role as Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy, recently shared the secrets behind her luminous skin and what makes her feel most confident.
The 55-year-old actress, whose show wrapped its 21st season earlier this year, turned heads with her radiant complexion at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in April. Fans were eager to learn the key to her glowing skin, and Pompeo didn’t hold back in a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine.
A longtime ambassador for Meaningful Beauty, Pompeo revealed that her partnership with the brand was inspired by her admiration for supermodel Cindy Crawford.
“Cindy was one of the first women to launch a beauty brand at a time when it wasn’t as common as it is now,” Pompeo said. “I respect her for that. I’m sure she faced skepticism, but she paved the way.”
Among her favorite products is the Youth Activating Melon Serum, which she calls the “hero” of the line. “It’s incredible for hydration and elasticity,” she shared. She also swears by the brand’s Revive and Brighten Eye Masques, especially during travel. “I’ll even wear them on a plane and take a nap—they’re that good.”
But Pompeo insists that skincare alone isn’t the secret to her glow. “Diet and exercise are honestly the foundation,” she said. “I know it’s not groundbreaking advice, but it’s true. I’m very disciplined—my husband says I’m the most regimented person he knows!”
She keeps her diet clean and indulges mindfully. “I’m strict about what I eat, but I do treat myself. Dark chocolate and cherries are my go-to.”
With a mix of high-quality skincare, healthy habits, and a little discipline, Pompeo proves that glowing skin is a blend of science and self-care.
