Welcome to Beauty Around the Clock, Marie Claire's weekly peek into the daily lives of some of the most game-changing men and women in their industries. Ever wonder how they get it all done in a day? Here's your answer.
Let me guess: Lucia Greco was your favorite White Lotus season two character. You're not alone—Simona Tabasco's performance was so phenomenal that it landed her a Primetime Emmy nomination. The actress has long been a household name in her native Italy, but was catapulted into the American spotlight thanks to her role on MAX.
Since the season's wrap, Tabasco has starred in a SKIMS campaign (alongside her fellow White Lotus alum and real-life friend, Beatrice Grannò) and landed a leading role in Immaculate, a horror film starring Sydney Sweeney (another White Lotus favorite). Amidst so many major career moves, it's easy to wonder where Tabasco finds the time to maintain a beauty routine.
"I think a beauty routine is a good moment to take care of yourself," she exclusively tells Marie Claire, noting that self-care is more crucial than ever when it seems as though there's no time for it. Ahead, Tabasco explains how she makes time for a beauty regimen in spite of shifting jobs, locations, and time zones.

In the morning, I wash my face with Korean cleansing oil. I also like to apply cream to use the Nuface device. It gives the face a micro-current to wake up my skin.

I love experimenting with makeup. Sometimes it works out okay, sometimes not, but it happens. I love putting a little makeup on my skin, and I like a natural base. I think the NARS Concealer is very good—there are two types, and I use the rounded one in the little pot. During the day I really love to just put on concealer, some mascara, and lip gloss or lip balm. I only use foundation for a big night out.

I really love to get massages and things like that. I think they are very useful. I love to do sports. I run. I'll sometimes go to pilates or a spa to get a bath, steam, and sauna, and release all the toxins.

My signature scent is Bois D’Argent from Dior’s La Privee Collection. I’ve used this scent for about eight years and I can’t replace it with any other perfume. I know [scent] is one of the first things others perceive about us.

I travel often, so I like to use different products I pick up around the world. I always take Jo Malone Red Roses bath oil with me.

I put on some oil in the morning and at night, before I go to bed. I use the Kérastase Ultimate Elixir Oil. For styling, I love to do funny hairstyles since I cut my hair. I don't use any specific hairspray or gel products, though.

I wash my face with an oil and then I put on some serum. I use a moisturizer and an SPF, obviously, too. I don't have specific products, because I like to experiment.

The Déesse PRO LED mask, probably. I use it at night and it's the most expensive device that I have.

Just yesterday, I was talking about this incredible lip balm from Mario Badescu. I think it's a very good lip balm. I also like Carmex for my balm. I genuinely use it all the time.

I really love to get a Hydrafacial. It's one of my favorite things to do. After the treatment, my skin feels smooth and hydrated, and my pores can breathe. It's a specific, special sensation.

I think eyes, because I think the gaze is very important on a face. Sometimes when you put on too much makeup, you can lose the poetry of a facial expression. The eyes are very important to communicate something—more so than the mouth.

To drink water—it's very important! Drinking water, consuming vitamins— all of that is good for your skin.

I like to experiment, but I've never tried anything weird. Maybe one day.

I don't use SPF if I'm in a rush. That is my biggest beauty regret. I notice a big difference when I use SPF for a week. My skin is very different. It's brighter.

I love music. I don't have a specific playlist, but at the moment I really love to listen to the Fenty Season Four playlist—from the Fenty Rihanna Fashion Show. And I really like the Cassie song 'Me and You.'

I don't know. I'm really confident with the makeup routine and my beauty routine.

I really like to follow beauty advice from social media for makeup, because it's fun and not that serious. I think it's good to experiment. Obviously, for my skin, I follow my dermatologist's advice.

The thin eyebrows trend. When I was younger, I hated my eyebrows. Hated them. So I took off all my eyebrows when I was younger. Luckily they grew back.

I really love to use a night mask, serum, and cream. I also love to use face masks from Korea, such as hydrating rice masks. All you need to do is put them on, and it only takes one minute.
