Ellen Pompeo, the 55-year-old American actress renowned for her role as Meredith Grey in the celebrated medical drama Grey’s Anatomy (which concluded its 21st season in May), recently shared insights into her glowing skin and what truly makes her feel beautiful. Her radiant complexion at her ‘Walk of Fame’ ceremony in April sparked widespread curiosity about her daily routine and skincare secrets.
In a recent conversation with PEOPLE magazine, the Good American Family star, who has been a brand ambassador for Meaningful Beauty since 2019, revealed that her “chemistry” with Cindy Crawford was the driving force behind her collaboration with the brand. Pompeo quipped, “I am old enough to know that Cindy was one of the first women to have a beauty brand. I don’t know of any other women in her position that were doing beauty brands back then when it wasn’t cool or popular. I’m sure she got more than a few eye rolls.”
Discussing the Youth Activating Melon Serum, which enhances skin elasticity and hydration using melon leaf stem cell and Hydrosome H₂O technologies, she noted, “I love the serum. That’s my hero product from the line, and, I think that’s their best product.” Additionally, the Daredevil alum expressed her fondness for the brand’s Revive and Brighten Eye Masques, especially for travel, as she “can totally wear them on a plane and just go to sleep.”
However, Pompeo emphasized that “diet and exercise is honestly the key. I know everybody says it, but I really do. I’m a pretty regimented person. Very disciplined. My husband [Chris Ivery] says I’m the most disciplined person he knows which I think is a compliment.” She elaborated, “I’m really quite militant about the way I eat and what I eat. But I really try to manage it. I really just try to eat dark chocolate and cherries.”
