Living Well With Pamela Anderson, International Icon, Activist, and Founder of Sonsie

“I’m a combination of everything.”

That’s how Pamela Anderson describes herself now, and it feels like the most natural way to understand where she is today.

After decades of evolving through different versions of beauty and self-expression, she’s arrived at something more open. Less about defining herself, more about allowing things to shift. There’s a confidence in that. The freedom to choose how she shows up each day, without overthinking it. “Less is more,” she says, and it feels like something she’s truly grown into.

What shapes her life now is simple, but intentional. Reading real books. Writing by hand. Music on a record player. Time spent outside, in her garden or by the ocean, barefoot when she can be. These are the things she returns to. Not for show, but because they ground her.

That same sensibility carries into Sonsie, her skincare line. Created for sensitive skin and kept deliberately minimal, it’s a small, cohesive range designed to work together, without excess or complication. It reflects how she approaches beauty now. Personal, considered, and rooted in what works.

In this Living Well conversation, she reflects on what’s stayed with her, what she’s let go of, and what she’s still working toward.

Living Well with Pamela Anderson

Your relationship with beauty has evolved so much over the years. What feels most true to you about beauty now that maybe didn’t before? Less is more, as we get older. I’ve played a lot with makeup and hairstyles over the years, so I don’t feel like I have to keep up appearances. I am a combination of everything. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I’m free to choose how I present myself to the world. Every day is a new beginning.

You’ve experienced so many different worlds, from Hollywood to activism to motherhood. What has each chapter taught you about taking care of yourself? Motherhood is profound and inspirational. It is the most important job in the world. It’s a form of activism, and a lot of my creative work stems from love and parenting. It’s poetic. There is no perfect way to do it. Like anything artistic, it is subjective.

Are there any small, non-negotiable rituals that keep you feeling grounded, no matter where you are in the world? I read real books. I love first editions and the classics. I listen to music on my record player. I write by hand in my journals. I light candles, pray, and set intentions for the day.

I love my garden and the ocean. If I’m home on my veggie and flower farm, my bare feet are in one or both.

How has your skincare philosophy changed over time? I actually use skincare now, and my skin has never looked better. I have sensitive skin, so I created a self-soothing line of skincare called Sonsie. I feel it has caught on, young and old. There seems to be a huge demographic.

Your brand, Sonsie, is rooted in simplicity and transparency. What were you personally missing in the beauty space that made you want to create it? Authenticity is key. I know people know I walk my talk, I do my best. I’m no saint and don’t pretend to be. I apply what I learn to my life, and self-care has been a moving target.

But the messaging, and most importantly the ingredients, are pure, natural, and sustainable. It’s been an awakening to be on this journey. I realize that we have been played. We are in control of our beings. Our insecurities can’t run the show or be exploited.

We encourage healthy choices but don’t judge. We are human, and that’s part of the fun of life. Making mistakes, learning from them, and nourishing our souls as well as our skin. Not all have the luxury to be progressive. It’s aspirational. It’s where I’m at.

Sonsie is “plastic negative,” which is still rare in beauty. Why was that important for you to prioritize from the start? Sustainability is almost impossible when anything is made, sold, or purchased. But we have a good product that works, and we are devoted to doing our best. My red lines are cruelty-free and not contributing to madness or misery.

If someone is discovering Sonsie for the first time, where should they start? The cleanser is so good. It leaves you feeling soft and moisturized, even without another product. Lip balm is easy, it stays, and it’s full of peptides. It’s not sticky, which I hate. I am not a sticky, glossy girl.

I had tricks to highlight my lips back in the day, a little dry frost on the center. I couldn’t stand a sticky gloss.

Which product feels the most “you”? The Super Serum and Multi Moisture Cream combo is my red carpet look. My skin loves it.

Can you walk us through your current morning and nighttime skincare routine, step by step, including the products you’re using right now? All Sonsie. Nothing else.

Are there any hero ingredients in the line that you personally love? It’s a small, cohesive line of products. It all works best together. The Adapt Cream is a surprise hero. My friends love it.

Do you think we’re finally redefining what beauty looks like, or are we still stuck in old patterns? I love when people embrace their true selves at any age, not for attention but for yourself. You can feel falseness out there. There is enough of it. It’s literally written on our faces.

Right now, what does living well look like for you? Balance.

I’m trying to find more balance with a heavy but god-sent workload, and love. You have to make time for it.
