Johansson talked about her skincare routine to TODAY. She says that keeping her skin moisturized is important.

Johansson has two children, and she wants to encourage them. She opened up about this to Oprah Daily. “With or without social media, kids can be cruel, and I think every parent worries about how their child’s ego is going to be affected by the outside world. I’ve been very conscious about not using certain words at home that feel degrading to myself in front of my kids, which is hard to do, but I’m very mindful about that and it makes a difference. It really starts at home with me.”
