Molly Sims has a new interview with US Magazine to promote her partnership with a CBD beauty line. She talks about her skincare routine and getting facials. Molly used to get facials over Zoom from an esthetician who would coach her on what to do with a roller and a nuface, which is an electrocurrent device to tone your face. (I have a nuface Trinity, I really think it works, but I got mine off eBay. I’ve had two nuface minis at a more affordable $200 price point and they both stopped taking a charge after a few months. The Trinity is expensive on Amazon at $325 but you can get a refurbished model around $150 cheaper on eBay.) Anyway Molly has since gotten an in-person facial again, which she called “life changing.” That sounds so obnoxious out of context, but she clarified that she was just talking about her own experience and said that everyone has a different level of risk that they’re willing to take. Her comments seemed decent overall.
I work out a lot and I put that Extra Strength Relief [Sagely Cream] and Recovery Cream on after I shower and I can’t tell you how much it works,” she says. “When I don’t do it, I notice a difference. I also like to work out hard.”
“I know a couple of great facialists who will go on Zoom with me,” she says, referring to celeb favorite Georgia Louise. During this process, [Molly] will start by heating up some washcloths in a microwave, getting a hot bowl and steaming her face. Then they’ll talk her through a hard facial massage using a roller and oil, a NuFace with radio frequency.
And as great as it is, it’s just not the same. “Listen it’s at home. I did get a facial for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was like life changing. I missed those things so much.” Haven’t we all!
Now that things are starting to slowly open back up, she said it’s been all about finding that safe balance. While it was both “nice and strange” to get a facial, it was something that was important to her. “I was kind of scared sitting there getting a facial but I was gonna do it cause I needed it,” she says. “You have to pick and choose. Every person is different. What I’m going do someone else might not do. It’s all a balance.”
Are CBD muscle recovery products that effective? Now I want to try them and also reorder the CBD oil I used to take. (I only took it at night over the weekends as it made me a little groggy.) As far as facials, I’ve only had two and I really didn’t like getting my whiteheads manually extracted, although I know not all facialists do that and that they typically ask you if you want it first. I’m more about DIY facials and products, but if you’re used to getting them regularly I can see missing it. I would have a really hard time letting someone touch my face in a professional setting though. I’ve only had one haircut this year, we both wore masks and no one else was in the salon, but it was stressful. Getting a facial seems somewhat frivolous at this time.
Her skin looks great.
This sounds so frivolous to me. She looks like a woman-of-a-certain-age with the blonde dye and the heavy make-up. This obsession with looking young and glowing is exhausting.
I want articles about beautiful ladies who tell me about the changes with growth and age, and how your bodies starts reacting differently to food and to exercise.
Useful stuff that no one, absolutely no one talks about.
I am 44 and I noticed that I have less hair now (I have a mane of wavy, dry hair), that I take much longer to digest food and generally react worse to junk food, etc. Let’s talk about these things please. No amount of facials can turn back time nor would I want it to. Life is a journey that women are taught to deny rather than embrace.
Yes yes yes! I read an incredibly long thread on menstrual cups on Twitter last night and it was so incredibly informative. Our collective knowledge is immense!
I’m 45 and my hair is so bushy and dry, no matter what I do. I am contemplating keratin treatments (at home for now – I’m doing my own mani/pedis too and my hair is looooong) and would love to know how others have fared.
For skin, I have a simple, really effective routine I’ve used for a decade. Cera Ve cleanser for dry skin , then hyaluronic acid, then Cera Ve moisturizer. Recently I’ve added a glycolic acid treatment every few days or so in lieu of the hyaluronic at night. My skin looks really nice, esp “for my age”.
Embee – I do the same thing – wash with Cera Ve, then a vitamin C/hyaluronic acid serum, then moisturizer. A couple of times a week I use a glycolic acid cream and always sunscreen in the daytime.
As for the bushy hair, I wash every other day with a mix of 1/4 shampoo, 3/4 conditioner and it helps with the bushiness. I find L’Oreal extraordinary oil curl cream works really well on my hair – just scrunch in about a teaspoon while my hair is wet and then don’t touch it or comb it. It defines my curls really well but doesn’t feel sticky or stiff.
She looks so fake to me. Everyone is in the same boat, luvvie, living under different degrees of lockdown all over the globe. Wash your face, slather on some moisturiser, a lick of lip gloss, and take your cup of tea outside and enjoy a bit of nature. You’ll be amazed at how good you’ll look and feel.
I kind of understand her. Facials aren’t my thing, but I teared up at my first (and only) haircut and massage. I had to work through the whole pandemic, so I don’t think my life felt as topsy-turvy as it did for some, but those first two instances of human contact were electrifying. It also felt like a wee moment of normalcy and I responded emotionally. I felt the same when my gym class met outside and did a social distancing workout. We didn’t touch, but just being near my ladies was such a tonic. Maybe that’s what she’s responding to?
Judgy me find this incredibly banal. But at the same time I’m really interested!!!! So I guess even after all these years, I’m still a bit of a shallow B.
I’ve been watching all these derms on TikTok and I started a whole new skin regime over lockdown. Wash, treat, protect, moisture. It’s pretty cool.
Morning:
Wash
Vit C
Moisturize
Sunscreen
Night:
Wash
Retinoid
Moisturize
I’ve followed her for a few years bc I liked her style and some of the things she promoted. But now she & her husband have serious money with sm shots of them travelling on private planes to different parts of the country, attending gatherings and parties. Lately I just find it harder to look at very wealthy people promoting stuff and accept that the normal rules don’t apply.
I know she’s rich AF! And during lockdown she’s complaining about being stuck at home and saying her kids are driving her to drink all the while panning over her infinity pool, huge lawn with amazing canyon views and herself dripping jewelry.. I just can’t anymore…
