Ryan Seacrest finds make-up a drag

Ryan has to wear make-up most days because he’s on TV, but that doesn’t mean he likes it. Apparently it causes the skin to sweat and clogs the pores, and facials are the way to combat it. Ryan doesn’t go in for a normal facial, of course, he goes through the human car wash!

Some people go through far worse than a car wash in the name of beauty.

At least we know Ryan would never be seen out with a gold face!

Moving swiftly on … Ryan explained what happened while he was sitting in this car wash with the windows down. It’s actually called the Lancer Process, after Dr Harold Lancer, and Ryan said you might see other celebrities there, naming a few including Victoria Beckham, Shakira, Denise Richards, which Ellen pointed out are all girls. Ryan said he doesn’t see any other dudes there, but knows David Beckham goes too.

Ryan doesn’t know exactly what happens while his eyes are closed, but first they put a sandblaster on his face, then rub dry ice over his forehead. A red light comes on, and then there are lotions, glosses, shines, cottons, and all kinds of things. At the other end he’s blown dry, and he has a glow that takes years off him.

He asked Ellen if she could see that and she hedged, saying maybe a year. Ryan thinks guys should try a facial, or exfoliate at home, if their skin is looking a bit tired. He said now it’s as if he’s Bieber’s brother, or he should be on Nickelodeon, or get carded. Ellen realised at this point she needed to go a little younger than a year, so congratulated Ryan on his Zac Effron-like glow.
