Meghan Markle, Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston are also fans of this luxury skincare brand.

The Barbie movie is gearing up to be the biggest cinematic release of the summer — and possibly the decade.

While we prepare for the film's July 21 release by shopping all things Barbiecore and swooning over Margot Robbie's immaculate press tour outfits, a certain Barbie cast member gave some insight on how he achieved Ken-approved skin on set. 

Simu Liu, who plays one of the many Kens in the Barbie cinematic universe, revealed his on-set skincare secrets to AllureAside from relying on painful waxing and body makeup to create the illusion of plastic, poreless skin, Liu relies on a celeb-approved beauty brand to keep his skin supple and hydrated.

“Look, right now I'm all about Tatcha,” Liu told Allure. “The Rice Wash, I'm here for all of it! [It] feels great. I've gotten like three pimples [overall] since I started using it. This is not sponsored, I swear to God, I'm just a big fan. I'm just admiring from afar.”
