What I Put On My Face is Mamamia’s celebrity beauty series that takes you inside the beauty cabinets of some of Australia’s most influential women. From what skincare products they use to their go-to makeup tips, it’s a pervy look at exactly what they put on their face. And body. And hair. You get the idea.

Lisa Wilkinson needs no introduction.

But if you need a quick refresher, Lisa's an Australian television icon who has been appearing on our tellies for years. For a decade, we found her on our screens every morning as she hostedToday, and these days, she sits alongside a panel of journalists onThe Project.

Watch: In the lift with Lisa Wilkinson. Post continues below.

For Amy Clark's very special, final episode on theYou Beautypodcast, she sat down with Lisa to ask her all about what she applies to her face, hair and body daily. And we've taken notes.

Skincare routine.

Lisa's number one tip for good skin is actually what she doesn't apply: sun.

At 16 years old, Lisa read in her teen bible (DollyMagazine, of course) that the best rule is to stay out of the sun. So since then, she has focused on keeping her skin youthful by always wearing a hat and protecting her face.

"I have boringly normal skin," Lisa told Amy. However, she did explain that a skincare routine was drilled into her at a young age, so she's always had a morning and evening routine. These days, it mainly consists of DMK products.

"I'd heard about [the skincare brand] DMK for a while," Lisa said.

"And when I started looking into it, it's actually more active than most of the products on the market. I've never been big on any kind of deep, deep treatments because it can wear the skin down. Especially, at my age, you can look a little leathery if you go too deep. This goes into the skin in much more of an active way.

"There's a bit to it, but at my age, it's a bit of an investment," Lisa prefaced before explaining exactly what she applies.

DMK Limited Mediterranean Pearls.

"The good thing about this is that it has these micro-pearls which are slightly exfoliating. I'll usually use it twice just to get it [TV makeup] off," she said.

Mecca Cosmetica Clean Slate Micellar Water, $30.

"A lot of the eye makeup removers that I've used over the years I find really harsh and full of chemicals, so I like the gentleness of this micellar water," Lisa explained.

DMK Seba-E Oil.

DMK Herb and Mineral Mist.

"It's the combination of the oil and the spray that really penetrates," Lisa said.

DMK Limited Firmatrix Skin Recovery Serum.

DMK Eye Web.

"It sounds like a lot but honestly, the difference in my skin has been really significant," Lisa said after noting her six-step skincare routine.

Société Eye Peptide Mask, $165.

"The beautiful hair and makeup girls at Channel 10 in Sydney and Melbourne do this thing where when we come in with a bare face, and while they're doing the hair they'll put these beautiful eye masks on us. You get all this gorgeous moisture into your eyes before they have to put on concealer and all the other stuff," she said.

Makeup routine.

When your job involves appearing on television constantly, hair and makeup come with the territory. Here Lisa has shared the minimal makeup she wears when she isn't in front of the camera, as well as, the products that the makeup artists use on her beforeThe Projectairs.

On Lisa's days off, she wants her skin to breathe. So she applies mascara and the same lippy she wears on TV and leaves her face bare.
