Scarlett Johansson reveals her bio hacks to stay beautiful at 41

Scarlett Johansson revealed the secrets to her health and beauty routine to maintain her radiant complexion and natural beauty. 

The 41-year-old actress said she partakes in biohacking for 'digestion' and takes a specific supplement as part of her daily routine amid her busy schedule.

She shared key details from her night routine after taking off her makeup as well as the magnesium supplement and vegan collagen she takes before bed. 

'I take magnesium at night. It helps me sleep. I feel like it's good for recovery,' she told The Zoe Report in an interview published in October 2024. 

The Oscar-nominated actress, who previously opened up about being 'self-conscious' due to harsh criticism about her appearance early in her career, added: 'It's good for your entire central nervous system.'

She also gushed about the benefits she has noticed when she's not sleeping after taking magnesium.

'I know that everybody is taking magnesium now. It's so helpful,' she said in an interview with Byrdie around the same time. 

'It really makes a huge difference, especially in my digestion and my recovery, it's awesome,' the Black Widow star added.

She also said she takes vegan collagen after one of her close friends recommended it to her to make her hair 'grow thicker, faster and shinier' in spite of her dermatologist denying the claims. 

'I don't know. My dermatologist was like, "It's everything you put on your skin, that's what counts. Anything you're taking internally, none of that is working." 

'I'm like, "I don't believe you. I'm going to try this out."' 

She also opened up about her daily skincare routine in the evening around the same time.

She credited 'clean skin care standards' and 'healing, hydrating benefits' of the beauty products from her skincare brand The Outset, which she founded and launched in 2022.

'My night routine is pretty simple,' she said as she revealed she washes her face with the brand's micellar cleanser. 

'I don't wear a full face of makeup every day, [just] foundation and concealer, so I don't have a full face to wash off.'

She said she also uses hydration-boosting products from her brand to complete her face routine, finishing off with a serum, a moisturizer and 'sometimes I'll put a couple of drops of boosting oil in there.' 

As for her morning routine, she said she uses the same cleanser, serum and moisturizer as she does at night. 

She adds an eye cream from her brand before doing light makeup with concealer, mascara, 'blush and a little eyeshadow, and that's it.' 

'Then I've got to run out the door. I've got two kids,' added Johansson, who shares daughter Rose, 12, with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac as well as son Cosmo, five, with her husband, Colin Jost. 

'They've got to go to school,' she added. 'I don't always have time to put makeup on. Sometimes that's a step later in the day.' 

She also opened up about her fitness routine to maintain her toned physique.

She explained that she likes to exercise 'at least a few days a week,' noting that working out 'is a very important part of my mental wellbeing.'

As for her preferred forms of exercise, Johansson said: 'I love to do Pilates. I've been doing Pilates for about 10 years now, and I just love it. 

'I find it to be challenging and also restorative. I feel like it gives me energy,' she added.

'It's not energy consuming like some workouts that I've done, where you really need to recover. I don't have that lifestyle anymore,' she explained. 'I have to do exercise that is invigorating, and Pilates is that for me.'

She also said she likes doing deep stretching exercises on a Pilates reformer, adding that it has been beneficial and 'so good' for her 'joint health and flexibility.'
