Renowned as one of the most captivating actresses in show business, Scarlett Johansson, the 'Black Widow' star, has gracefully navigated the challenges of staying in top shape, especially as she enters her 40s. In an interview with Stylist, the 38-year-old actress shared insights into her fitness routine, emphasizing the importance of adapting her workouts based on her age and prioritizing mental well-being.
Maintaining her stunning physique has required diligence and discipline, as Johansson acknowledged the inevitable changes her body undergoes with time. She underscored the significance of wellness as a vital component of her mental health, striving to engage in exercise approximately four times a week.
"For me, wellness is a huge part of my mental wellbeing. I try and do some sort of exercise around four days a week if I can," she conveyed to the outlet. "I've been doing pilates for the last eight years or so, and I've found it to be amazing."
Johansson detailed her transition from predominantly weightlifting to embracing pilates, attributing the shift to the evolving needs of her body as she ages. "I used to mostly just lift weights, but at some point, my recovery wasn't what it used to be, you know. I think it's just getting older and having my body change - but pilates really helped me feel better in all ways."
Beyond her athletic prowess, Johansson is celebrated for her beauty, yet she acknowledged the challenges she faced with acne. Inspired by her own struggles, she launched The Outset, a skincare brand aimed at assisting those grappling with similar skin issues.
"I struggled with acne forever," she shared. Reflecting on her past, she mentioned a poignant moment when her brother showed her photos from her youth, unveiling the stark contrast in her skin quality. "When I saw that photo, it just, you know, brought everything back. All those painful memories. I just struggled with my skin for such a long time."
Johansson's dedication to both physical and mental well-being, coupled with her openness about personal struggles, adds a relatable dimension to her celebrity, inspiring others on their wellness journeys.
