Top Chef’s Gail Simmons Shares Her All-Time Favorite Beauty Products

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser ($34) and Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser ($36)

“Drunk Elephant makes a great product called Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser. Their ingredients are very well-sourced. I also use their Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser when I am on-camera; I find it’s the only thing that gets all the makeup off my eyes. It’s literally like putting butter on your face!”

Skinfix

“Recently, I’ve been obsessed with the entire Skinfix line. I have the eye cream, the serum and the face moisturizer. I really love how my skin feels after applying them.

Ouai

“I have quite fine hair, and I love Ouai. They have a shampoo and a conditioner for thin hair. I love how all the products smell, but I also find that it makes my hair really manageable; I also use their volume spray.”

ColorWow Dream Coat ($32)

“ColorWow makes this product called Dream Coat. It’s an anti-frizz treatment that I spray on my hair when I’m in production. When I am going on camera a lot—and my hair is getting blown out daily—my hair gets dry and this really helps.”

“Moving my body—whether it’s walking, taking a class, doing Pilates, or running for a few miles—is key, wherever I am. Even if it’s a two-mile run, it helps me so much mentally and physically. That’s a big part of my overall routine—especially since I am consuming so many calories on my job!”

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 ($43)

“I burn really easily and I swear by EltaMD SPF. I think it’s a really great broad-spectrum, mineral sunscreen.

“The bane of my existence is my puffy eyes. I can’t quite build up the energy to do anything drastic about it right now, but there’s nothing more relaxing and needed in the mornings than treating my puffy eyes with a big roller and some good patches.”

“I use Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ($69), and I use a lot of Charlotte Tilbury products. I love her concealers, and my favorite is the Beautiful Skin Concealer ($33). I love Laura Mercier, too— especially her Caviar Stick ($33) shadows. They are classic.
