From her humble beginnings in Australia to becoming a global sensation in Hollywood, Robbie's ascent has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Throughout her career, the 33-year-old actress has always been vocal about the vital role her mother, Sarie Kessler, played in nurturing her dreams.

In preparation for her role as Barbie, it was revealed that Robbie had a fascinating beauty secret that helped her achieve a "doll-perfect" skin tone for the iconic character.

According to British Vogue, the Australian actress reportedly incorporated a special herbal tea blend into her beauty routine to enhance her skin's radiance and achieve that flawless doll-like glow.

Jasmina Vico, a skin-health specialist, who was in charge of keeping the stars glowing on-screen, took the initiative to work on their glow from the inside.

"Everything in the movies is about lighting," Vico told the publication. "That's when I thought, OK, we're going to work on the liver, calm the nervous system, and make skin glow. But, crucially, we're going to work on that glow from within."

In light of that, she introduced Robbie alongside her castmates to milk-thistle tea, which is popular in Croatia, her native country.

"Milk thistle cleanses your liver," she told Vogue. "When that happens, our liver automatically produces more glutathione, which then makes the skin more radiant."

"The liver likes anything bitter because it helps it to flush," she added. "This tea is like a witch's brew!"
