All of my friends who have watched Gordon Ramsay's Netflix series, Being Gordon Ramsay, ask the same thing: what is Tana Ramsay's beauty secret? The 51-year-old wife of Gordon Ramsay looks stunning, and I stumbled across some of her beauty secrets. And more surprisingly, many of them are affordable.
In a recent interview, mum-of-six Tana admitted she's a big fan of a budget body cream that's perfect for mature skin; the Dove Lotion Visible Glow.
- Tana Ramsay stars alongside husband Gordon Ramsay in the Netflix doc, Being Gordon Ramsay.
- Tana, 51, swears by the Dove Lotion Visible Glow, £6.
- The mum-of-six called it a "flattering" body cream.
In The Times interview alongside daughter Tilly, Tana said of the product: "Especially as you get older, the skin on your legs isn’t quite what it used to be, and this just adds a subtle, flattering tint."

Having discovered she has melasma, a common skin condition that is identified as dark, brown or patchy spots on the skin caused by too much pigment in the skin, Tana vowed to cut down on her sun exposure and find product-led alternatives.
Tana, who is best friends with Victoria Beckham, added: "Gordon and I used to bake. Now I have melasma. I’ll never forget going into a pharmacy and the woman behind the counter asking what the stains on my face were."
TANA'S FAVE: Dove Lotion Visible Glow

Dove Lotion Visible Glow - the details
Part body lotion, part self-tanner, Dove's Visible Glow is the sort of body cream you can use daily to not only hydrate skin but to leave a subtle, natural radiance on the skin. It is called a gradual tanner, but reading the reviews it's a lot more subtle than others on the market and takes time to build up.
Many of the reviews state how it leaves a "glow" to the skin, as opposed to a faux tan, and is minimal on the streaks. Some suggest applying in circular motions to avoid any sort of streak, and the smell is "gorgeous". Plus, many confirm it doesn't stain clothing or bedding.
Any negative comments are around the longevity of the glow; most reviewers confirm it should be used daily to avoid fade.
