The model gets honest about her elaborate nighttime routine.
Molly Sims Swears By This Overnight Facial for Glowing Skin
Molly Sims is not the first celebrity to launch a podcast, but she just might be the most open about what she shares, especially when it comes to our collective fascination with beauty. “Women need to be honest," she says, "because when you have a celebrity culture where people are saying, ‘I’m not really doing anything [to my face],' or ‘I just look like this,’ that's not transparency. And it doesn't make the person that's hearing that feel good about themselves or even think it's attainable. I’m all for plastic surgery, but come on, let’s be honest about it!"
That thinking led to the launch of Lipstick on the Rim, a new podcast with Dear Media, where the model, author and philanthropist talks about everything from “beauty, wellness, plastic surgery, nutrition, sex and more” with her best friend of 17 years, Emese Gormley. “My mom was big into beauty and wellness and sharing what works, and my girlfriends and I do that, too,” Sims tells Glamour. “We back each other, and I think as women, that's really, really important.”
In that same spirit, Sims shared with us her nighttime routine for how she gets a good night's sleep, including all the products she uses, and the slippers so comfortable she wears them during the day, too.
My wind-down routineI take magnesium to get to sleep. But I can sleep anywhere, anytime, on any surface. I don’t know if that’s from years of modeling and sitting in economy while traveling all over the world or what, but I’ve always been able to sleep. I also love a glass of wine. And every now and then I drink hot cocoa like Swiss Miss or Four Mushrooms by Foursigmatic.

My nighttime skincare essentialsIf I am in a rush to take my makeup off, I’ll use a Neutrogena makeup wipe or micellar water, but otherwise I'll use Seiso JBeauty's Fuwafuwa foaming cleanser that is unbelievable. I love their Experience Kit as well, which has everything you need, and it’s great for sensitive skin and packed with calming and hydrating ceramides. Georgia Louise makes a really nice cleansing balm to get all your makeup off.

They are just so pretty and soft and comfortable. I got a gift with MISA, a beautiful coral robe that’s like silk and beautiful. James Perse makes a white one that’s really great. And I love my slippers from Naked Cashmere. I wear them everywhere. They make a great cashmere robe as well.
