Scarlett Johansson is, without a doubt, one of our go-to skin-care gurus. Her skin always looks impossibly radiant, and as the founder of The Outset—a clean, fragrance-free, and sensitive skin-friendly brand—she’s got the expertise to back it up. In celebration of the brand’s launch on Amazon, the actress and entrepreneur caught up with E! News to reveal her top skin-care tip, her biggest beauty regret, and more. Ahead, we’re breaking down the must-know moments from their chat.
Scarlett Johansson’s Biggest Skin-Care Regret
“Never get a cortisone shot to get rid of a pimple,” Johansson told the outlet. “I was warned by a makeup artist about this years ago. She told me about an actress who had a big scene coming up but had a pimple she needed to get rid of. So, she went to the dermatologist to get a cortisone shot to get rid of it and it left a huge crater (which looked much worse).
Stupidly, I didn’t follow this advice and a year later got it done myself—and I can confirm it does leave a hole! So, avoid it if you can. I’ve managed to massage it away over time but it’s probably one of my biggest beauty regrets.”
Scarlett Johansson’s Biggest Skin-Care Tip
“Develop a [skin-care] routine you can stick to,” Johansson said. “I think I’ve got mine down now, and the key is to keep it streamlined—that’s why The Outset routines are always straightforward and efficient. You don’t need a 16-step routine to get great results.” While Johansson didn’t specify the exact products in her routine, there’s a bundle on The Outset’s website featuring the three she’s said to use daily: the Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser ($32), Firming Vegan Collagen Prep Serum ($46) and Nourishing Squalane Daily Moisturizer ($44). You can shop them below, either individually or as a bundle if you’re ready to take a page out of her beauty book.
