In a video for the magazine, [the 25-year-old actress](http://time.com/4244539/margot-robbie-ed-sheeran-jimmy-fallon-prince-harry/) channels the most dedicated narcissist of them all, _American Psycho_‘s Patrick Bateman, paralleling [his self-care routine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGeAMVK75T4) almost exactly, from core workouts to that iconic peel-off mask. In the short clip, Robbie embodies the same chilling gravity that Christian Bale gave to his character in _American Psycho_, in a spoof so believable it’s almost creepy. Some of her most noteworthy beauty secrets include: * she meditates while working on her core, “even though I was born with a six-pack.” * using a deep pore cleansing lotion, although she can’t remember the last time she washed her hair, as it “basically cleans itself now.” * she always uses a small batch placenta-infused facial toner, “for that third trimester glow without the cravings.” You can watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4338645/margot-robbie-american-psycho-vogue/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4338645/margot-robbie-american-psycho-vogue/"},"headline":"Watch Margot Robbie Channel Patrick Bateman's Meticulous Beauty Routine","datePublished":"2016-05-17T16:56:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:28.266Z","description":"No word on whether or not she has to return videotapes","url":"https://time.com/4338645/margot-robbie-american-psycho-vogue/","keywords":["Newsfeed","margot robbie"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4338645/margot-robbie-american-psycho-vogue/","name":"Watch Margot Robbie Channel Patrick Bateman's Meticulous Beauty Routine"}}]}] ```
