Dakota Johnson Might Be Complicated, but Her Beauty Routine Is Shockingly Simple


Dakota Johnson, the wildly relatable actress and face of Gucci Bloom, knows how to keep it real, especially when it comes to beauty. The gap-toothed, fringe-forward celeb shares her low-key routine, love for eye drops, and signature scent tactic in a Q&A. Take notes!
My no-frills skin care routine:
“Iām a sucker for pretty packaging, so I buy a bunch of products but end up not using any of them. I just like the way they look. I truly have the simplest routine: I wash my face in the morning and at night, then moisturize; during the day I add sunscreen. Right now Iām into Lancer products.”
My minimal-makeup M.O.:
“I donāt really wear makeup if I donāt have to. When I am going out somewhere, Iāll use a little concealer, lip color, and mascara.”
My bright-eye beauty hack:
“Hello, Iām Dakota, and Iām addicted to eye drops; the last time I used was 20 minutes ago. Really, Iām addicted to eye dropsā¦. I just love the feeling of them in my eyes. Itās glorious.”
My grandmotherās mascara trick:
“She [actress Tippi Hedren] was watching me put my mascara on once and told me that if you hold the mirror down low and put the mascara on while looking downward, you will get the most coverage from the base of the lashes to the tips. And, of course, sheās right! Sheās a fucking movie star; sheās a legend!”
My intentional perfume trail:
“Iāve always worn fragrance because I love to leave a scent behind. I love that perfume can take you back to someplace immediately. I prefer floral scents to ones that are musky. Right now Iām wearing Gucci Bloom; itās very floral, so I love it. My mother [Melanie Griffith] has worn the same perfume my entire life, and thatās very comforting to me.”
