A writer reviews adding milk thistle tea to her morning skin care routine, which was Margot Robbie’s secret ingredient for glowing skin in the ‘Barbie’ movie.
She swore by this one ingredient for a screen-ready complexion.
In the Barbie movie, there’s a moment where Margot Robbie breaks down, believing she isn’t pretty anymore. That’s when Helen Mirren’s narrator calls out to the filmmakers that if they “want to make this point,” they shouldn’t cast such a gorgeous actor. The record scratch moment hits close to home, because it’s what the audience is thinking looking at her camera-ready face. While the 33-year-old actor definitely had the Barbie fashion down for every red carpet event, she also had a doll-like complexion — and that’s thanks to Margot Robbie’s skin routine for Barbie.
Not only did Robbie get regular facials and add different serums to her routine to prepare for the film, but she and the rest of the Barbie cast were given a skin care secret ingredient — milk thistle tea. According to Vogue, Jasmina Vico was brought into production as Barbie’s skin health specialist. Her mission was to get the casts’ skin glowing from within. While serums and treatments can help on the outside, Vico says that drinking milk thistle tea can cleanse your liver and give your skin an interior boost. She explains that as your liver is being cleansed, it “produces more glutathione, which then makes the skin more radiant.”
As someone who has dealt with acne pretty much my entire life and even went on Accutane a few years ago to help with the breakouts, I’m always looking for something that can take my skin to the next level. Basically, I’ll try anything once if you say it’ll make me look more like a Barbie IRL, so I tried Margot Robbie’s Barbie skin essential for two weeks to see if I noticed a difference at all.
