According to the 34-year-old South African dancer and TV presenter, if you want the ‘smoothest’ skin, you should stock up on a €1.50 shower gel from Superdrug.
Oti, who recently revealed her real name is actually Otlile, explained that the beauty buy will leave your skin feeling ‘hydrated’ for hours.
The star, who rocketed her way to stardom on Strictly Come Dancing and left viewers in tears on I’m a Celeb when she opened up about her family tragedy, previously revealed her skincare secret to Good cleaning.
The Dancing On Ice judge, who welcomed her first child with husband Marius Iepure at the end of 2023 and has become the new face and body of Sanexrevealed: “I use their moisturizing shower gel every day and it makes me feel so good.”
She explained: “My skin feels hydrated when I get out of the shower and the smoothness lasts for hours.
“I’m addicted to that feeling of soft skin.
“I love going about my day feeling like my skin is happy and healthy.”
But while Oti is excited about the cheap purchases on the high street, skin care wasn’t always at the top of her to-do list.
She explained that her healthy skin regimen has evolved as she has gotten older, as she admitted: “When I was in my 20s, I didn’t have a skin regimen.
“I slept with my makeup on and went out with it next day.
“Then, when I was 30, I looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to take care of my skin.’ It was tired and very dry.”
But now Oti is religious about double cleansing and following a daily skin care regimen, as she confessed: “It’s not to try to be younger, it’s to feel good.

She swears by Avon’s £10 Hydramatic Matte Lipstick, as she beamed: “These lipsticks are amazing. They have a bit of hydration in the middle and the colors really work if your skin is darker.
“They do incredibly dark orange and pink, and they have a brown shade that is similar to my lip color when I go for the nude look.”
How to save money on beauty purchases
IF your purse feels tighter than ever before and you want to save money on your makeup routine, have you ever thought about trying out beauty dupes?
Not only this, but she also loves the £34 Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation, which she wears in shade 15.5.
She said: ‘I have all of Charlotte Tilbury’s stuff. I use the foundation, the contour, the eyeliner, the mascara. I love it all.”
But that’s not all, as she’s also a lover of the Huda Beauty Matte Obsessions Warm Eyeshadow Palette, which costs £29.
The mum-of-one, who is currently make-up free on the hit ITV show, revealed: “I love tonal eye colours. Huda’s are really good because they match my skin tone, and are natural and neutral. I don’t like putting glitter on my eyes.
“The make-up I wore on Strictly Come Dancing was great, but it wouldn’t be the look I would personally wear.”
