The Secret behind Margot Robbie’s radiant complexion during Barbie Filming

The skincare expert in charge of making Margot Robbie’s complexion shine in the Barbie movie recommended her a beverage with multiple virtues during filming. 

Margot Robbie doesn't owe the radiance of her complexion to an expensive cream, but to a simple natural drink. That's what Jasmina Vico, the skin health specialist responsible for giving the lead actress of the Barbie movie a healthy glow on-screen, claims. "It's Barbie, and she has to look perfect, so the skin brief was to create that halo of light often seen in 1940s photographs," she says in an interview published on July 14, 2023, in the British edition of Vogue magazine. Instead of relying solely on beauty products, she chose to "work on the liver" in order to "calm the nervous system and make the skin shine," but above all, to revive "that inner radiance."

"Witch's brew"

To achieve this, this Croatian native has concocted one of the most popular drinks from her homeland, which she defines as a "witch's brew." Fortunately, you don't need to be a great magician to prepare it, as only one plant is listed as an ingredient in this ultra-simple recipe: milk thistle. "It cleanses your liver," she explains, noting that "when this happens, our liver automatically produces more glutathione, which makes the skin more radiant. One of the most important ingredients it contains is silymarin, which is highly present in skincare formulas today."

An "in and out" beauty routine

This intestinal health enthusiast also "prescribed" Margot Robbie to drink probiotic liquids during filming to balance her microbiome, a crucial factor in achieving beautiful skin. "I gave Margot kefir to drink and advised her to eat a lot of fermented foods, like sauerkraut, for example," explains Jasmina Vico, stating that the Australian actress "enjoyed" it.

Beyond this beauty routine that reveals radiance from within, other cutting-edge facial care rituals also contributed to this quest for Barbie's perfect skin. Jasmina Vico reveals that Margot Robbie regularly engaged in facial massage methods like lymphatic drainage or cryotherapy, as well as undergoing peels, laser sessions, and even microneedling sessions.
