If I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood and body acceptance I feel like, I'm sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker."</p><div type="image" title="keira knightley the duchess" height="1212" width="2088" msid="80449843" hostid="261"></div><p>The 35-year-old actor continued to say that she understands some moments during a production where a sex scene makes sense and why a director might only need "somebody to look hot" but at this point in her career, she is no longer interested in playing those roles. </p><p>She said: "I don't want it to be those horrible sex scenes where you're all greased up and everybody is grunting. I'm not interested in doing that. You can use somebody else because I'm too vain and the body has had two children now and I'd just rather not stand in front of a group of men naked." </p><p>She added: "I don't have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men."</p><p>Previously, during an <a href="https://www.insider.com/keira-knightley-banned-daughter-from-watching-some-disney-movies-2018-10">appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show,"</a> Knightley said that she <a href="https://www.insider.com/keira-knightley-ban-popular-disney-movies-2018-11">doesn't allow her young daughter</a> to watch some classic Disney animated film like "Cinderella" and "A Little Mermaid" where the main princess "waits around for a rich guy to rescue her."</p><p>She later clarified that she does allow her daughter to watch some Disney films including "Frozen" and "Moana."</p><p>"I just wonder what Elsa would say to Ariel and Cinderella," she said. "Because Elsa has some serious opinions about Anna going off with a guy that she's only just met and saying she would marry him," Keira told Press Association. "She's like 'absolutely that is not OK' and in fact, everyone in Frozen is not OK with that."</p>

The price means that Ryanair will make a small profit on its investment in Aer Lingus over the past 9 years."</p><p>But he couldn't resist a parting dig, adding: "We wish IAG well with their takeover of Aer Lingus. When Ryanair first bid for Aer Lingus in late 2006, Ryanair (36m passengers) carried 4 times Aer Lingus traffic (9m). Today Ryanair (over 100m) carries more than 10 times Aer Lingus traffic (10m), and we will continue to deliver the vast majority of Ireland's traffic and tourism growth in the coming months and years."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cristiano-ronaldo-spends-money-salary-fortune-real-madrid-2015-5">Here's how Cristiano Ronaldo spends his money</a></h3>        <div>            <div>    <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script>    <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="llMjZ5dDqpB7jsQJWbJ6u82dpovJ7vWo" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>    <script>    if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; }     RunFunctions.push(function()    {         var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', 'llMjZ5dDqpB7jsQJWbJ6u82dpovJ7vWo',{ autoplay: 'false' });     });    </script>    <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div>        </div>        <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script>    </div>

Over the course of the last year, I've been working through both the hyped-up and nondescript skin care products that surface on the internet to figure out which ones really are great - and which ones you're really not missing out on. Successes, for instance, included <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aztec-bentonite-clay-mask-review" rel="noopener">the cult-favorite $11 Aztec Clay Mask</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/maelove-glow-maker-serum-review-2018-8" rel="noopener">$28 Maelove vitamin C serum</a>.</p><p>That search also included <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/10-step-korean-skin-care-routine-review-2018-10" rel="noopener">trying the 10-Step Korean skincare routine</a> - a meticulous cleansing and moisturizing routine that orbits around K-Beauty products to balance the skin. In actuality, 10 steps are less dramatic than they sound. (Eye cream, makeup remover, and sun protection like sunscreen are already three of the steps, and they're not exactly unusual). One of the products sent to me was <a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neogen's Real Ferment Micro Essence ($38)</a>, and it's one of the best I found in 2018.</p><p><strong>What's an essence?</strong> it's a lightweight liquid packed with a concentrated blend of hydrating, anti-wrinkle, complexion-enhancing ingredients. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/10-step-korean-skin-care-routine-review-2018-10" rel="noopener">In a traditional 10-Step Korean skincare routine</a>, it's supposed to be applied after a toner removes residue from cleansers and preps the skin for better absorption of the products to come. It's a popular skin care category in Korea, and sometimes called the "heart" of a K-beauty routine.</p><p>In real life, it basically feels and acts like a soft water. After cleansing and toning, you sprinkle the essence into the palms of your hands (or onto a cotton pad) and pat it onto your skin until it's fully absorbed. Since it's a lightweight liquid, absorption happens very quickly. </p><p><strong>This product is great for a few important reasons, but they all come back to intense, lightweight hydration.</strong> The essence doesn't clog my pores like a rich wintertime moisturizer or thick overnight lotion, but it hydrates nearly as well. It tightens my skin and seems to temporarily fill fine lines. And it sinks in completely and without residue, which is often my main complaint with oils and serums. If my skin is really dry, I follow the essence with <a href="http://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=999&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=80811&amp;urllink=maelove.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-one-cream%3Fvariant%3D12923999322146%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMI_sW7gMbj3wIVXoGzCh0XDgBmEAQYASABEgIu3fD_BwE" rel="noopener">Maelove's $28 The One Cream</a> - <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/maelove-the-one-cream-review-19-1" rel="noopener">a non-pore-clogging lotion</a>. </p><p>Using the essence with a <a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Facwell-licorice-ph-balancing-cleansing-toner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complementary toner</a> was also one of the first times I've ever noticed an undeniable "glow" from a product - not shininess, but a sort of Kiera-Knightley-holding-a-candle-in-a-Victorian-drama, lit-from-within kind of healthy glow. Like a Glossier ad. It was noteworthy enough to drive me to the product page in search of an explanation. <a href="http://www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" rel="noopener">According to Soko Glam</a> and their K-Beauty blog "The Klog," Neogen's Real Ferment Micro Essence is known for delivering on a trend called "honey skin" - "the next level glow after healthy skin" which is typically achieved through a routine with a lot of humectant and toning ingredients for maximum glow. It doesn't make pores enlarged or clogged like an oily shine, but instead results in a glow that is evenly presented across your entire face. Yep, sounds about right.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580433399" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c40c41417c2c5445b0619f5-800/dsc01888.jpg" border="0" alt="honey skin" data-mce-source="Soko Glam" /></a><p class="source"><span>Soko Glam</span></p><p class="caption"> This is what "honey skin" should look like: dewy and nearly pore-less. </p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>When you take a look at the product list, the intense hydration and noticeable brightening and plumping make sense. The aptly named <a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Ferment Micro Essence</a> has more than 93% naturally fermented ingredients, <span>including bifida ferment lysate and 28% saccharomyces ferment filtrate, to deliver instant moisture and increase elasticity. Fermentation naturally produces amino acids, vitamins, and other antioxidants that are great for the skin. It also has a smaller molecular structure, meaning it's easier for the skin to absorb. </span><span>On top of that, 17% birch juice adds hydration and 9% rice extracts make skin look like it's illuminated from within. The combination of natural brighteners, antioxidants, and cell-communicating ingredients make for what is essentially a smart power juice for your skin.</span></p><p><span>It's also blessedly free of fragrances - one main reservation I have with many otherwise solid K-beauty products.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Real Ferment Micro Essence is $38</a>, which isn't expensive for a skincare product but may raise eyebrows under the name "essence" - which may sound a lot like "inessential" to the uninitiated. But, the bottle is five ounces, and a little can go a long way, so one purchase should last you for months. </p><p>It seems I'm not the only person singing the Real Ferment Micro Essence's praises. Soko Glam later named it <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-korean-skin-care-products-soko-glam-k-beauty-awards-2018-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the 10 Best Products of 2018</a>, and on site, the product has<a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 600 reviews and a 4.5 rating overall (out of 5)</a>. The combination I use - the <a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Facwell-licorice-ph-balancing-cleansing-toner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acwell Licorice Toner</a> and Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence - is the same one Charlotte Cho, founder of Soko Glam, also swears by for achieving "honey skin." Acwell Licorice Toner <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-korean-skin-care-products-soko-glam-k-beauty-awards-2018-10#acwell-licorice-ph-balancing-cleansing-toner-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was also named</a> one of the best 10 products of 2018.</p><p>All in all, if you're looking for intense hydration from something as non-pore-clogging as a water, Neogen's new fan-favorite Real Ferment Micro Essence is worth checking out, and one you might not know about if you're not deeply entrenched in the skin care industry. It brightens, plumps, and deeply moisturizes with fast, no-residue absorption. And, for me, using it with a toner did result in the sort of honey-skin glow that looks like you're wearing highlighter without bothering to put any on. If that's worth $38 to you for a few months of the benefits, I'd wager you're going to like this.</p><h3><a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/TUJGRk1NR0JGSEhLR01CRktORkVM?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsokoglam.com%2Fproducts%2Fneogen-real-ferment-micro-essence%3FpublisherId%3D133628%26clickId%3D2580357728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence, available on Soko Glam, $38</a></h3> <p class="tagline"><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a><br><br>Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.<br><br>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insiderpicks">Insider Picks</a> team.
