Welcome to Shelf Life, where celebrities break down every last detail of their beauty routines from the highest hair on their heads to the tips of their toes. Today, actor Scarlett Johansson reveals her secret weapon against damaged hair, her go-to lipstick, and the relatable reason she’ll never get a facial.

When it comes to beauty icons, Scarlett Johansson might be one of the most underrated. She looks amazing in a bold red lip, represents all the tattooed girls out there, and can pull off any hair color, whether it’s her go-to blonde balayage, the pink bob wig she wore in Lost in Translation, or the plethora of red wigs she wore as Marvel’s Black Widow. Off-screen, she has The Outset, the skin-care brand she and cofounder Kate Foster launched in 2021, which allows Johansson to take her commitment to beauty to a whole new level.

While her Best of Beauty-winning brand might have made her worthy of the тιтle of skin-care queen, compared to other celebrities, Johansson’s beauty routine is pretty minimal (she still doesn’t get facials!) but fascinating nonetheless. Ahead, Johansson details her head-to-toe beauty routine to Allure, talks about still being traumatized from her experiences with acne, and gives us the tea on The Outset’s new Barrier Balm, which launches October 17.
