Cat Deeley has revealed her simple yet effective skincare hack for combating heatwave-induced puffiness and fatigue: storing her under-eye patches in the fridge. The This Morning presenter shared her morning routine on Instagram, showcasing how she uses chilled Charlotte Tilbury Eye Revival Patches to refresh and brighten her eyes before going on air.
The Fridge Trick for Enhanced Cooling
In a recent Instagram post, Deeley demonstrated her beauty prep, emphasizing that she always keeps her eye masks in the refrigerator. This creates a cryo-effect that intensifies the cooling sensation, helping to reduce puffiness and awaken tired eyes, especially during hot and humid weather. She captioned the post: "We could all do with some Charlotte Tilbury this morning!"
The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Skin Secrets Immediate Eye Revival Patches, priced at £58 for 60 pairs, are infused with a serum designed to create an "eye-lift effect." They claim to diminish dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles while boosting hydration, firmness, and elasticity in just 10 minutes. By chilling them, Deeley amplifies their de-puffing properties, leaving eyes looking more rested and alert.
Budget-Friendly Alternatives
For those seeking more affordable options, the Biodance Collagen Peptide Eye Patches offer 30 pairs for £21. These K-beauty masks contain gentle active ingredients that enhance elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and improve brightness. Alternatively, the REHAB. After Sun Under Eye Patches (£16 for five pairs) focus on cooling and soothing sun-exposed skin, reducing puffiness and dehydration. Another popular choice is Grace and Stella's Moisturising Pink Eye Masks, now reduced from £31 to £20 for 24 pairs; these gained fame after appearing in The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Emily Blunt's character.
Maximizing Effectiveness with Chilling
Deeley's fridge trick is not limited to eye patches. She notes that sheet masks and moisturizers also benefit from a cooling sensation before application, enhancing their soothing and refreshing effects. This simple hack is especially valuable during heatwaves when skin feels puffy, sweaty, and tired.
According to Deeley, the combination of Charlotte Tilbury's serum-infused patches and the chilling method provides an instant boost, making her eyes look brighter and more awake—even on minimal sleep. The technique has resonated with fans seeking practical beauty solutions for extreme weather.
