How to Do Margot Robbie’s Skincare Routine

How she takes care of her sensitive, acne-prone skin.

At 34 years old, Margot Robbie is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood—so you’d think she’d have a few tricks up her sleeve for maintaining a camera-ready complexion. But she readily admits that there are no shortcuts.

“It’s all the things that we knew all along: wear SPF, drink lots of water, get enough sleep. We keep trying all these ways to find a secret recipe for youth—this cream or that cream, this diet or that diet—and it’s all the stuff you knew from the beginning but were trying to find a way around. Ultimately, you realize, ‘Oh yeah, I do look my best when I’ve had 10 hours of sleep and drunk a liter of water.’ It’s the simple things that work.”1

That’s why the Barbie star makes it a priority to eat well, sleep and exercise, alongside a surprisingly simple skincare routine. Rather than risk irritation with harsh actives, she focuses on cleansing her skin from the heavy makeup she has to wear on set, and delivering much-needed hydration. 

Even still, she sometimes struggles with sensitive skin and the occasional breakout. “For photoshoots, I don’t even worry anymore because with Photoshop these days, if I wake up with a massive pimple, I’m like, they’re gonna airbrush it out, it doesn’t matter. I get more scared when I’m filming.”2

Keep reading to discover all the products that keep Margot’s skin clear, calm and healthy-looking.

    Her Morning Skincare Routine

    1. Cleanser

    Lancer The Method Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin

    Lancer The Method: Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin: “One of the great things about my job is that I’m lucky enough to work with so many amazing makeup artists who introduce me to new products, which means I switch up my skincare routine and makeup products quite a lot. I will always start by cleansing my face. At the moment I’m using a Dr. Lancer cleanser.”

    2. Eye Cream

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream: “When I get out [of the shower], I dab on some La Prairie eye cream.”

    3. Face Mists

    Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol

    Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol: “I’m not a big fan of serums as my skin can be quite sensitive and sometimes it reacts to them, but I do love facial mists. Aesop has really good facial mists that I have in my bag all the time because my skin gets so dry. Everything from Aesop smells so good.”

    Caudalie Beauty Elixir

    Caudalie Beauty Elixir: “I keep this hydrating spray in my bag at all times; I mist it on like crazy! It has an amazing herbal scent that wakes me up.”

    4. Moisturizer

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream: “For moisturizers I love the La Prairie moisturizer.”

    5. Lip Balms

    Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm

    Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm: “I always keep a little Burt’s Bees tinted rose lip balm on me.”

    Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

    Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment: “I don’t like wearing lipstick because I get it all over my face, so I wear lip balm with a bit of a stain, like Burt’s Bees or Fresh.”

    Her Evening Skincare Routine

    1. Face Wipes

    Johnson's Make-Up Be Gone 5-in-1 Moisturising Cleansing Wipes

    Johnson’s Make-Up Be Gone 5-in-1 Moisturising Cleansing Wipes: “No matter how drunk I am, I don’t go to sleep with makeup on. As soon as I get home, I scrub it off. I use Johnson makeup wipes.”

    2. Cleanser

    Lancer The Method Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin

    Lancer The Method: Cleanse Normal-Combination Skin: “I’m anal-retentive about having really clean skin. Especially with my job, where they just layer makeup on and on and on.”

    3. Exfoliating Pads

    Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Acne Max Complexion Correction Pads

    Peter Thomas Roth Goodbye Acne Max Complexion Correction Pads: “I honestly stumbled across them, and now I can’t live without them. Your skin is better after. They’re really strong.”

    4. Moisturizer

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream

    La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream: “At the moment at night I’m using a Dr. Lancer cleanser and a La Prairie moisturizer.”

    5. Lip Balm

    Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment

    Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment: “And then my lip balm, I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies. I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms actually have additives in them to dry your lips out so you keep buying them. But because Bepanthen is just a cream for dry skin, it works. It’s what I’ve used my whole life.”

    Her Skincare Treatments

    Sheet Mask

    111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask

    111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask: “One brand I’m obsessed with right now is this brand 111Skin, which my makeup artist Pati Dubroff got me hooked on. They have these sheet masks, they’re made out of a jelly sort of stuff and the serum they’re soaked in is so good. So when we’re getting ready for an event she’ll put one of those on while she’s doing my hair. The 111Skin Rose Gold Mask is unbelievable.”

    Eye Mask

    Talika Eye Therapy Patch

    Talika Eye Therapy Patch: “While I’m getting my hair done, I put on Talika under-eye patches. They help with puffiness.”

    Microcurrent

    ZIIP Halo

    ZIIP Halo: “I’ve been using this microcurrent device called ZIIP which has given me noticeable results. I’m not paid by the brand or anything, it’s really, really good.”
