Here's What Kelly Ripa Looks Like In Real Life Vs. Instagram

Kelly Ripa might live the glamorous life of an A-lister, but she keeps things relatively real over on Instagram, where she frequently shares makeup-free selfies with her husband, Mark Consuelos. In July 2020, Ripa was spotted out and about with Consuelos in the Hamptons, per The Sun, and her husband looked considerably more upset about being photographed than she was. The happy couple was walking their dog at the time, coffee mugs in hand, and the TV host looked to be rocking wet hair. This isn't the first time Ripa has sported just-washed tresses, without seeming to care about it too much. A natural beauty, it's still comforting to know that Ripa doesn't feel the need to be constantly glammed-up.

The "Live with Kelly and Ryan" co-host has been asked many times about her beauty secrets, and Ripa is refreshingly honest about what works for her, particularly when it comes to aging. In a 2020 interview with NY Mag, Ripa pointed to luxurious products, like Uma Oils Absolute Anti-Aging Face Oil. "I guess this is my anti-aging secret — this and Botox, if we're being honest," she shared. Acknowledging its hefty price tag, she reasoned, "It's my one luxury. It's pricey but worth it." Ripa applies the oil every morning and night, to keep her skin looking and feeling moisturized at all times. As a result, being snapped makeup-free is nothing.
