Show Notes

Molly Sims is a model, actress, producer, founder of YiSE Beauty, and host of the Lipstick on the Rim podcast. After decades in the beauty and fashion industry, she’s amassed an incredible wealth of knowledge on what actually works when it comes to looking and feeling your best.

In this episode, Molly shares the beauty lessons she’s learned from modeling around the world, why she’s more confident in her 50s than she was in her 20s, and how she shifted from seeking external validation to finding confidence from within.

We discuss the European approach to aging, why restraint is often the key to looking great as you get older, and the importance of staying true to yourself rather than chasing every beauty trend. Molly also opens up about dealing with acne, hyperpigmentation, and insecurities throughout her career, despite being one of the industry’s most recognizable faces.

Plus, we get into her favorite lasers and beauty treatments, her peptide obsession, exact Sports Illustrated prep, five-minute makeup routine, fragrance favorites, how to find great providers, and the best and worst beauty advice she’s ever received.
