Ellen Pompeo is 'big into serums and oils'
The 'Grey's Anatomy' star - who will celebrated her 56th birthday in November - is a brand ambassador for skincare company Meaningful Beauty, and she is a fan of its Youth Activating Melon Serum Advanced Formula.
Reflecting on her beauty regime when she's flying, Ellen told Travel + Leisure: 'That's always been my go-to in this line.
"And I put the melon serum on first, and then I put oil over it when I travel. I'm really big into serums and oils at this age."
Usually, she starts her day with a sauna and cold plunge at home, and she tries to make her routine work when she's on the road.
She added: "I'll try to look for hotels with saunas. Not everybody has a cold plunge. Cold plunges are a relatively, you know, sort of bougie, new thing.
"I think most of these older hotels don't have it, but a cold shower, I think, does the same.'
Ellen recently opened up about ageing, and dismissed the idea that characters are limited for older stars.
She told El Pais: "When you're really young in Hollywood, you're hired for your talent, but also for your beauty.
"They're not hiring you for your beauty at 50 years old, they're hiring you for your complexity and your talent alone.
"Certainly, women are more complex as they get older, and so are the roles."
The star is one of the best-paid actresses on television thanks to her role in 'Grey's Anatomy', although she still thinks there is a long way to go for women in the industry as she was earning less than her co-star Patrick Dempsey for several years.
She said: "I think that it takes all of us women standing up for each other and supporting one another.
"I've had so many women be so kind to me and supportive of me, and I have tried to do the same for other women.
"I don't think I alone have done anything, I'm part of a group of extraordinarily talented women in Hollywood, and collectively, we have to come together to learn to use our voices more."

Star claims Ellen DeGeneres' staff were ‘cowering' in fear on talk show set
Comedian Adam Carolla claimed Ellen DeGeneres' daytime talk show staff members were 'scared to death' of her and 'cowering' when he was a guest 15 years ago. The former co-host of the The Man Show recalled his experience during an appearance on After Party with Emily Dashinsky on Tuesday, per Page Six. He said that a segment producer checked in with him before his on-air chat with DeGeneres to make sure he wasn't going to talk about anything outside of what they agreed on beforehand — particularly eating meat as DeGeneres was a vegan at the time. Carolla said the segment producer then nervously double-checked that he was not going to mention eating meat in their conversation. 'I was like, 'Oh, this guy's scared to death. This guy's scared,' he claimed. 'And he came back 20 minutes later right before I went out, and he's like, 'OK, but don't talk about beef or meat or any[thing],'' Carolla said. Carolla compared his experience on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with other talk shows he had been on, noting that the atmosphere at Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno's late-night shows was more laid-back because the hosts were nice. By contrast, he said that that both David Letterman and DeGeneres' staff were in fear. 'Ellen's show, people were scared — real scared,' he claimed. Carolla said he later spoke to a writer who worked for both DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell. According to Carolla, the writer said DeGeneres was worse than O'Donnell, whom Carolla also claimed was extremely unpleasant to work with. 'I talked to someone who signed an NDA, so I won't say his name, but he wrote for Ellen,' he said. 'I just went, 'How's Ellen?' And he said, 'Worst person, uh, worst person — not worst person I've worked for, worst person I've ever met.'' 'She's not a nice person at all,' he continued of DeGeneres. 'Everyone was scared of her, which means she's mean,' he also said. 'She's not gonna be mean to me, I'm a guest on the show, right? I wouldn't know it from my exchanges, I would know it from how her staff was cowering.' DeGeneres' rep didn't immediately respond to Page Six 's request for comment. Last September, DeGeneres — who now lives in England with her wife, Portia de Rossi — addressed being labelled as 'mean' and being accused of leading a toxic workplace in her Netflix stand-up special, 'For Your Approval.' The former talk show host told an audience she is 'proud' of who she's become four years after the scandal and no longer cared about being called mean. 'If they like you, you're in, and if they don't, you're out,' she said. 'And I've spent an entire lifetime trying to make people happy and I've cared far too much what other people think of me. So, the thought of anyone thinking that I'm mean was devastating to me, and it consumed me for a long time.' 'After a lifetime of caring, I just can't anymore. So I don't,' she added.

'They were scared': Bombshell Ellen allegations emerge after talk show host fled Trump's America
Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla recently appeared on the After Party podcast and reignited criticism of disgraced talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, 67. During the podcast, the former Man Show host, 61, claimed Ellen's staff were traumatised by her behind the scenes behaviour and lived in constant fear. Reflecting on his experience as a former guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show 13 years ago, he said the atmosphere backstage was unusually tense and unlike anything he had ever seen. Carolla said, 'I once talked to someone who wrote for Ellen and he said, 'She's not the worst person I've ever worked for… she's the worst and meanest person I've met.'' "I knew they were scared because it's like, I was just sitting in the my dressing room and their like segment producer came in, and he went, 'All right, so we went over all the stuff we're going to talk about,' you know, Christmas vacation or whatever it was," Carolla began. "And and I go, 'Yeah, yeah.' "And he goes, 'You're not going to talk about meat or beef or anything like that, right?" 'And I go, 'No, I'm not.'" During that time Ellen was widely known as a committed vegan. Carolla continued: "And [the segment producer] like came back like 20 minutes later right before I went out, and he's like, 'Okay, but don't talk about beef or meat or any[thing]'." 'This guy is scared to death,' Carolla recalled thinking at the time. 'Now everyone knows what I knew 15 years ago,' he added. 'I knew how her staff were cowering.' Carolla made an appearance on Ellen's show in March, 2012. In 2020 a BuzzFeed investigation revealed accounts from ten anonymous former employees and one current staff member who described the toxic environment involving racism, discrimination, intimidation, and being fired for taking medical leave or attending family funerals. One employee said they quit after becoming fed up with the racist comments. Others described a workplace culture built on fear, where raising concerns risked losing their jobs. Her show was eventually cancelled in 2022 in the wake of widespread backlash. DeGeneres and her wife, Australian actress Portia de Rossi, permanently relocated to the UK after Donald Trump's return to the White House. Earlier this month, DeGeneres told the BBC the pair initially planned to spend just a few months each year in the UK and purchased what they believed would be a "part-time house" in the Cotswolds in 2024. But the couple decided to stay put after Trump defeated Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the latest US election. "We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in'," she recalled. "And we're like, 'We're staying here'." She expressed fears over proposed rollbacks of LGBTQ+ rights under Donald Trump's influence, describing America as a scary place for people to be who they are.

What really caused backlash following a video of woman's feet on a plane
A mum is in hot water after choosing to toe the line, instead of confronting a bare foot bandit during a flight with her daughter. A video she posted to TikTok has gone viral after she filmed her daughter seated beside a stranger who had their bare, dirty feet propped up on the chair between them. We're talking overgrown toenails, misshapen toes, and dry skin so crusty it's begging for a PedEgg intervention. The clip has racked up more than 10 million views and sparked plenty of opinions in the comment section. 'You should have said something' It's set to the trending 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' sound, a popular track used to poke fun at holiday fails. People have slammed the unsavoury passenger behaviour. 'That's so rude,' one person writes. Not ideal, if you ask me. 'Maybe she literally didn't think of that!' Commenters on the post agreed that the woman had gone too far, suggesting that the person behind contact a flight attendant to remove it. 'Flight attendants would make her remove it. Just call them,' said one person. 'Aside from the inconvenience of not being able to use the tray table, it is also covering up the safety instructions. That's enough of a reason for the flight attendants to get her to remove the bag,' another agreed. 'I'd just ask her to remove it because I can't open my tray anymore. Maybe she literally didn't think of that. If that doesn't work, I'd tell a flight assistant to please take care of it,' said a third, more sympathetically. 'How is this allowed?' However, others had a more direct - though debatable less confrontational - approach. 'Or…. it's a plastic bag just tear out the back,' said one person. 'You absolutely can open it, ripping a plastic bag is easy,' another commenter agreed. 'How is this allowed? I would just rip it open from the back,' said a third. 'I would honestly try to move the plastic upwards just enough to uncover the tray. If that doesn't work, I'm ripping the shit out of it. Some people really have no consideration for others,' another said.
