Alright, so I decided to try out this whole Molly Sims Wise Beauty thing everyone kept mentioning. Honestly? Kinda skeptical at first.
Started simple. Dug around online first – lots of folks talking about natural ingredients and taking it slow. Molly’s whole vibe seems to be less is more, right? So I cleared out half my bathroom counter. Seriously. Bottles everywhere, made me dizzy just looking at ’em.
Here’s what I did, step by step:
- Took a break from the heavy stuff. Put away the intense serums and chemical peels. Felt weird, like I was cheating on my skin.
- Went back to basics. Gentle cleanser – the boring kind without fancy beads or smells. Splashed with lukewarm water, patted dry. Simple.
- Moisturizer became my best friend. Found one my mom would probably use. No bells, no whistles. Slathered it on morning and night.
- Tried that dry brushing thing. Molly talks about it. Bought a cheap brush. Did it before showering for a week straight. Felt kinda silly, like scrubbing a potato, but honestly? Skin felt smoother after. Less bumpy.
- Drank way more water. I mean, WAY more. Carried a giant bottle everywhere. Peeing constantly was annoying, but my skin? Less dull.
- Sun protection. Everyday. Even when cloudy. Stuck to a basic SPF 30. Less complicated than my usual rotation. Just smear it on.
- Actual sleep. This was hard. Turned off the doom-scrolling at 10 pm instead of midnight. Read an actual book. Fell asleep faster. Less puffy eyes? Maybe?
Took about three weeks. Didn’t see a magic glow immediately. Felt impatient. Almost gave up and grabbed my fancy acids.
But then? My neighbor Beth asked what I was doing different. Said my skin looked “calm.” Not radiant, not glowing – calm. Realized that was kinda the point of this “wise” stuff Molly pushes. It wasn’t about transforming overnight.
It was about stopping the madness. My skin wasn’t yelling at me anymore with redness or flakes. It was just… happy being skin. Less is definitely more.
Feeling pretty converted now. My bathroom counter stays clear. Saving money too. Crazy how just chilling out works better than all that expensive junk.
