Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos may always look camera-ready, but behind their flawless complexions and radiant glow is a commitment to disciplined, carefully curated nighttime routines.
The couple opened up about their bedtime beauty habits during the February 11 episode of LIVE with Kelly & Mark. The topic arose after Kelly admitted that she sleeps in a "T-Rex position," which causes pain in her arms and hands.
Executive producer Michael Gelman then provided Kelly with a solution as he suggested she wrap towels around her arms and fasten them with an elastic band to stop them from bending toward her chest.

"I sleep in it, and it melts into your skin. And in the morning, I peel it off, and it's like a miracle. I look just like this," she said.
Kelly then put on her teeth retainers and a pair of spectacles. "And then, I say to Mark, 'So, what do you want to watch tonight?'" "How much more is Mark supposed to tolerate?"

However, Kelly explained that the pair didn't always have such a regimented nighttime routine to help with their morning beauty. "Let me tell you something, because I see there's young people here. I see young people here. We used to be hot and sexy," she shared. "We didn’t know it at the time. We had no idea that we were cute in any way. We didn't use to have to take vitamins."
She continued: "I didn’t use to wear a retainer. I didn’t need glasses. I didn’t put on hormone cream. I didn’t even talk about the hormone cream, because the whole rest of me is slippery, too, very slippery. I’m a very slippery person. I go into bed. I look nuts for the love of you people."

Kelly previously revealed her go-to beauty product that "doesn't settle into" her "fine lines" or "wrinkles". Kelly shared a video of herself applying makeup in her stunning vanity room complete with mirrored walls and elegant ornaments.
The talk show host then presented her affordable foundation to the camera. Kelly used L'Oréal Paris' True Match Super-Blendable Foundation, $13.99, in the shade C3. "Because it's a foundation that's lightweight and feels like a moisturizer, it doesn't settle into my fine lines or my wrinkles. It's not cakey," she continued.
"It's got this very natural second skin finish. This is makeup that feels like it's enhancing my routine, it's not making my routine more trouble than it's worth."
The True Match foundation contains Hyaluronic Acid to deliver a more radiant finish and is formulated with up to six pigments to ensure a precise match. Kelly’s go-to product provides medium coverage, making it an ideal choice for those looking to conceal imperfections without sacrificing a radiant glow.
