Plus: the secrets of a luxury estate agent to the super-rich
 |  |  | By Annabel Jones
BEAUTY EDITOR AT LARGE | | | I’d never suggest yet another step to your beauty routine (time is precious after all) for the sake of it alone, but if skin health is high on your agenda then there’s one that’s worth a punt. Beauty columnist Jan Masters writes about the benefits of using a skin essence in her column the easy skincare step you should be incorporating into your daily routine.
Popular in countries like Japan and Korea, where a clear glowing complexion is held in high esteem, essences help to keep the skin’s microbiome in balance with fermented probiotics, while providing a soft dewy base that helps the active ingredients in your moisturiser absorb better – meaning that expensive serum you saved up for isn’t sitting atop a dry, impenetrable surface.
Speaking of skin, actress Scarlett Johansson revealed to The Telegraph’s Head of Fashion, Lisa Armstrong, that at 14, she was told her face looked like the surface of a volcano, setting in motion a quest for gentle products that actually worked to clear her crippling flare ups – hint: she threw out everything she’d ever been told about acne ingredients from Hollywood dermatologists.
Eventually it led to her creating her own skincare line, The Outset, which she briefs us on diligently. But of course we couldn’t leave the conversation without delving into all aspects of Johansson’s lifestyle, including date nights with her husband and the surprising exercise swap she’s made since training for her Marvel role.
Enjoy!
