We promise you'll come away with surprising insights into how your daily habits, from your diet to your intimate moments, can affect your skin's health and overall well-being. Lucas chats with us about cooking terms like "mouthfeel" and "umami," we transition seamlessly into a candid discussion about the impacts of sex on your skin, the benefits of cutting out sugar, and the science behind self-care.
Our banter takes us through a whirlwind of topics: from amusing anecdotes about "whiskey dick" and the impracticality of incorporating food into intimate moments, to personal health journeys and the benefits of a sugar detox.
Finally, we dive into the science behind how self-care, confidence, and sex are intricately connected. We explore how activities like comedy and physical fitness can enhance your intimate experiences by reducing stress through the release of oxytocin. We also discuss the role of cortisol and the body’s natural ability to produce feel-good hormones like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why sex, drugs, and skincare are more interconnected than you ever imagined.

The Skincare Secrets of Sex Workers! 28:12

منذ 3 أيام28:12

28:12

Send us a text What do strippers, adult film performers, and exotic dancers know about skincare that the rest of us don't? Turns out, quite a lot. When your appearance directly impacts your income and you work under harsh conditions, you quickly develop effective skincare strategies that stand up to extreme challenges. We dive into the specialized routines sex workers use to maintain glowing skin despite stage lights, heavy makeup, constant friction, and back-to-back performances. These professionals have mastered techniques to combat issues that would leave most people's skin in distress. From Vietnamese-American makeup artist Nam Vo (who developed her famous "dewy dumpling" technique while working with strip club dancers) to current adult performers who've shared their post-shift recovery rituals, the adult entertainment industry has become an unexpected source of practical skincare wisdom. The conversation reveals fascinating insights about treating "friction zones," preventing irritation from frequent waxing, and the importance of post-shift cleansing routines. We explore how performers use specific products like waterproof setting sprays during shows and rich body butters afterward, creating an effective skincare sandwich that protects and repairs. Beyond just products, we discuss how many sex workers incorporate holistic recovery practices, including epsom salt baths and "comfort meals" that nourish both body and spirit after demanding performances. Whether you wear heavy makeup, exercise intensively, or simply want more effective skincare, these industry secrets offer valuable lessons that anyone can apply. As we conclude, the most important takeaway remains: consistency is everything. Treat your skin like it's your job to care for it - because it is.

EP. 112 BREAKOUTS— The Emotional Connection with GUEST, RIC ROSARIO 30:44

منذ 10 أيام30:44

30:44

Send us a text Your face is talking, but are you listening to what it's saying about your emotions? Stress isn't just affecting your mental health—it's showing up on your skin in the form of breakouts, inflammation, and other issues that can feel impossible to control. In this compelling exploration of emotional acne, licensed esthetician Nicky Davis Jr., Comedian Ric Rosario and cohost/Sherpa/set decorator/Comedian Sandro Iocolano break down the fascinating science behind why stress manifests on your skin. She explains how your body's stress response triggers hormones like cortisol and CRH that directly impact your skin's oil production and barrier function, creating the perfect storm for breakouts. The evidence is clear—studies from Singapore and Saudi Arabia have confirmed the direct link between stress levels and acne severity in college students during exam periods. This isn't just anecdotal; it's scientifically proven that your emotional state can trigger significant changes in your skin. But this isn't just about understanding the problem—it's about solutions. Discover why certain ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, and ceramides are particularly effective for stress-related skin issues. Learn proper techniques for addressing breakouts without making them worse (hint: direction matters when extracting a pimple!). Plus, explore holistic approaches including adaptogens, magnesium supplementation, and facial massage that address both the internal and external manifestations of stress. The episode also tackles the frustrating cycle of skin picking as a stress response—and how this self-soothing behavior actually perpetuates the problem. With practical tips and entertaining personal stories (including recurring pre-date pimples!), this conversation offers both validation and actionable advice for anyone struggling with the skin-emotion connection.

Turns out, we're all walking around with fungi living on our bodies – and sometimes, they cause trouble. This episode takes you on a hilarious yet informative journey into the world of Malassezia, the fungus that inhabits 90% of human skin. Four-time guest comedian Tammy Jo Dearon brings her signature wit to a surprisingly fascinating topic as we explore how these microscopic organisms can trigger everything from eczema to folliculitis when our immune systems overreact. We dive into the science of skin barriers, discussing how our protective layers can become compromised and what that means for our skin health. Tammy shares her personal experiences with fungal-related conditions, including how persistent treatment with ketoconazole finally helped regrow hair lost to alopecia. The conversation weaves between serious skincare advice and laugh-out-loud moments, covering treatments ranging from medicated shampoos to vinegar baths (yes, really). We explore how these fungi thrive on our skin's natural oils and flourish in humid environments – explaining why some skin conditions worsen in certain climates or body areas. We also touch on the connection between autoimmune responses, stress, and fungal overgrowth, providing valuable insights for anyone struggling with persistent skin issues. Whether you're battling unexplained rashes, curious about the microbiome living on your skin, or just enjoy learning about the body's fascinating complexities, this episode delivers knowledge with a healthy dose of laughter.

Ep. 110 What Happens When a Tattooed Man Does Your Lips? 29:35

Send us a text Meet Kostas, the tattooed permanent makeup artist breaking stereotypes with his exceptional lip blushing technique. When he first appears on screen, covered in tattoos, you might not expect him to be the mastermind behind natural-looking, beautiful lip enhancements. But that unexpected contrast is exactly what makes his story so compelling. Kostas shares his journey into the beauty industry, beginning when his wife Daria needed help with her booming business. His first attempt at lip blushing was a disaster – "I destroyed her lips completely," he admits candidly. Rather than giving up, this former athlete analyzed what went wrong and developed his own revolutionary technique that prioritizes gentle application and natural results. What makes his approach special is the meticulous attention to detail, particularly the corners of the lips which many artists overlook. He creates a subtle gradient effect, with more color on the outside gradually fading inward, giving a natural 3D appearance. The procedure involves careful numbing, precise outlining of natural borders, and typically three gentle passes to avoid traumatizing the skin. Beyond lip blushing, Kostas reveals his expertise in organ massage, a specialized technique he learned from Russian practitioners. This isn't just abdominal massage but targeted work on specific organs to remove stagnation and toxins. He claims to have improved his own liver health dramatically through this practice and notes the fascinating connection between organ health and emotional wellbeing. Listen now to discover how this unexpected beauty expert is transforming the industry with his unique blend of artistry, technical skill, and holistic understanding of the body.

Send us a text How did we make this funny? We’re that good ! From Belarus to Beverly Hills, permanent makeup artist Daria Angelopolo has transformed thousands of faces while pioneering revolutionary techniques that have redefined an industry. Alongside her husband Kostas, Daria shares her remarkable journey from winning the American green card lottery to becoming one of the most sought-after eyebrow artists in Los Angeles. The conversation takes us through the fascinating evolution of permanent makeup techniques, from the early days of microblading (which Daria helped introduce to America) to the more refined ombre brows, and finally to today's state-of-the-art "fluffy strokes" - a gentle technique that combines machine-applied hair strokes with shading for stunningly natural results that work on all skin types. What truly stands out is Daria's commitment to skin health above all else. "The most important thing for us is the skin of the client first, not the results," she explains, detailing why newer techniques have replaced microblading for most applications. Her passion becomes particularly evident when discussing her work with cancer survivors, alopecia patients, and those suffering from trichotillomania. For these clients, permanent makeup isn't merely cosmetic - it's transformative, restoring confidence during challenging life periods. The episode concludes with practical advice for anyone considering permanent makeup: how to choose an artist (experience matters!), what to expect during the healing process (patience is key!), and pre-treatment recommendations. Whether you're beauty-curious or considering permanent makeup yourself, this conversation pulls back the curtain on an art form that's literally changing faces - and lives.

Send us a text Could the secret to glowing skin be hiding in your kitchen? Forget expensive creams and complicated routines—the path to radiant skin might start with what's on your plate. In this eye-opening episode, we explore five foods that can dramatically transform your complexion from the inside out. Starting with the humble potato (yes, potato!), we reveal how this starchy staple contains niacin and vitamin C that brightens skin and calms inflammation when applied topically. The benefits of fermented foods like sauerkraut demonstrate the powerful gut-skin connection, especially for those struggling with rosacea and persistent acne. Jackie Monahan joins us for her third appearance, bringing her signature humor as we discuss how zinc-rich pumpkin seeds combat hormonal acne, seaweed delivers minerals essential for skin elasticity, and blackstrap molasses provides a concentrated dose of beauty-boosting minerals. Between scientific insights and personal testimonials (including Jackie's hilarious aversion to nori), we unpack how these everyday foods work from the inside out to give you results that expensive skincare products often can't deliver. The conversation takes some delightfully unexpected turns—from nostalgic references to Sigmund and the Sea Monster to improvised songs about walking on tilapia—while delivering practical advice you can implement immediately. Whether you're dealing with dull skin, breakouts, or just want to support your skin's long-term health, this episode offers accessible, natural solutions that work with your body's own processes.

Biofilm: The Hidden Culprit Behind Stubborn Acne 32:02

Send us a text Struggling with acne that just won't quit, no matter what you try? You might be dealing with biofilms - the secret bacterial fortresses making your breakouts impossible to treat. In this enlightening conversation with comedian and personal trainer Bridget Sell, we dive deep into the frustrating world of treatment-resistant acne. Bridget shares her personal journey with what dermatologists identified as "Accutane resistance," a rare condition where even the most potent acne medication fails to provide lasting results. The culprit? Bacterial biofilms. These slimy protective shields form when bacteria build communities deep within your pores, creating barriers that medications can't penetrate. If you're dealing with deep, painful cystic acne that never comes to a head, constantly recurs in the same spots, or only responds temporarily to treatments, biofilms might be your unseen enemy. We explore the science behind these bacterial strongholds and discuss why they're so difficult to eliminate. Bridget candidly shares her years-long battle, including the embarrassment of dealing with severe acne while attending acting school and the various treatments she's tried. From professional procedures like Fraxel and Decadot to prescription retinols that cause the dreaded "retinol uglies" before improvement, her story offers hope for those struggling with similar issues. The episode also covers practical solutions, including enzyme treatments, specific essential oils, and internal approaches that support gut health. We discuss professional options that can break through these barriers and finally allow your skin to heal. Whether you're currently battling stubborn acne or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into a commonly overlooked cause of persistent skin issues.

Skincare Rituals and Body Dysmorphia: Finding Balance in Beauty 54:21

Send us a text Could your skincare routine be healing your mind or secretly harming it? Licensed therapist Alicia Racine Fink joins Nicky and Sandro to unpack the fascinating psychological dimensions of our beauty rituals. When approached mindfully, skincare can serve as a powerful gateway to self-care and l. Alicia shares brilliant "habit stacking" techniques to transform your routine – like humming while cleansing to stimulate the vagus nerve, or listening to affirming messages during your regimen. These simple additions can elevate skincare from superficial to deeply nurturing. But there's a shadow side to our beauty obsessions that rarely gets discussed. Contrary to its name, body dysmorphia affects the neck up 90% of the time, with people seeing their faces in fragmented pieces rather than as a whole. Alicia candidly shares her own struggles during the pandemic when skincare videos became a compulsion, and how easily self-care can transform into self-criticism under the influence of homogenized beauty standards. The conversation takes a profound turn discussing "the fat attack" – how we often interject anger and direct it at ourselves instead of addressing our true feelings. This psychological insight provides a powerful lens for understanding those days when we suddenly feel "ugly" or "fat" despite nothing having changed. Whether you're a skincare minimalist or enthusiast, this episode offers valuable tools for checking whether your beauty routine is serving your mental health. How do you feel after your routine? Are you avoiding mirrors or checking them obsessively? The answers reveal whether you're practicing genuine self-care or falling into harmful patterns. Tune in for this beautifully honest conversation about finding balance in beauty, accepting ourselves as whole beings, and creating rituals that genuinely nourish both skin and soul.…

Behind the Glow: How A-List Stars Maintain Their Skin 39:13

Send us a text Ever wondered why celebrities always look so impossibly dewy and glowing? We're pulling back the curtain on the beauty routines of Hollywood's biggest stars to reveal what they actually do to maintain those camera-ready complexions. From Nicole Kidman's CBD-infused facial oils to Gwyneth Paltrow's Ayurvedic tongue scraping rituals, we explore the full spectrum of celebrity skincare approaches—some surprisingly practical, others predictably extravagant. While many stars claim to use affordable drugstore products (we're looking at you, Nicole Kidman and your alleged Neutrogena habit), we can't help but question if there's more happening behind closed dermatologist doors than they're willing to admit. The episode dives into Naomi Campbell's travel skincare routine, perfect for anyone who's experienced the horror of plane-induced dehydration. We explore Marisa Tomei's focus on facial exercise and lymphatic drainage that keeps her looking youthful well into her 60s. Victoria Beckham's stem cell serums and LED light treatments represent the high-tech approach, while Jennifer Lopez swears by the humble olive oil as her family beauty secret (alongside avoiding alcohol and caffeine, which honestly might be doing more heavy lifting than any serum). What becomes clear is that while these celebrities might have access to the most expensive products and treatments on the market, many of their core practices—sun protection, proper hydration, consistent cleansing, and avoiding magnifying mirrors (thank you, Scarlett Johansson)—are things we all can incorporate into our routines. Whether you're working with a drugstore budget or ready to invest in "stem cell collagen activator duo serum" (whatever that is), there's something for everyone to take away from these A-list beauty habits. Listen in and discover which celebrity skincare routine most resonates with your approach to beauty—or which makes you laugh the hardest at its absurdity. Your skin might not end up looking like you have "so much money," but you'll definitely gain some practical insights along the way.…

Does the Moon Really Impact Your Skin? 46:51

Send us a text The moon governs not only the tides but potentially your skin as well. Our entertaining deep-dive with comedian Lahna Turner explores the mysterious connections between lunar cycles and your complexion. If you've noticed strange reactions during a full moon, this conversation might explain why. Your body consists of approximately 60% water, making it susceptible to the same gravitational forces that pull ocean tides. We break down specific skincare approaches for each lunar phase: detoxifying during the new moon when skin feels dull, rebuilding during the waxing phase with collagen-supporting treatments, managing increased reactivity during the full moon, and gently exfoliating during the waning phase as the body naturally releases toxins. Beyond physical effects, we discuss how the moon influences sleep cycles, hormone fluctuations, and emotional states – all directly impacting skin health. Lana shares her experiences as a performing comedian during full moons when audiences notably behave differently, while we debate whether science supports these claims or if it's mostly wishful thinking.…

Send us a text When Rachel and Daniel Olvera found themselves in the high desert of Joshua Tree during the pandemic, they never imagined their homemade skincare formulations would evolve into Xēba Botánica – a brand now championing truly non-toxic, plant-based products that prioritize both human health and environmental sustainability. By the way, the SDS podcast is an absolutely no way sponsored by Xēba Botánica. On this revealing episode, the couple shares their remarkable journey from backpackers to skincare entrepreneurs, bringing along their adorable baby who steals the spotlight more than once. Rachel's background as a chemist provides fascinating insights into what's really happening when we slather commercial products on our largest organ – our skin. From frankincense benefits to the dangers of "forever chemicals" in waterproof sunscreens, this conversation will transform how you evaluate what touches your body. The discussion takes a hard look at industry greenwashing, particularly the meaningless "natural" label that appears on countless toxic products. Daniel explains why they refuse to use this term, preferring specific descriptors like "non-toxic" and "plant-based" instead. You'll learn why glass packaging matters (hint: plastic leaches chemicals into your products), why water shouldn't be the first ingredient in your expensive moisturizer, and what essential oils you should never apply directly to skin.…

Send us a text Why are so many men missing out on the transformative power of professional facials? In this eye-opening episode, we tackle the stubborn myths and misconceptions that keep men from proper skincare while making a compelling case for why regular facials aren't just beneficial—they're essential. Joined by comedian James Graves, we break down the five crucial reasons men should incorporate facials into their self-care routine. From controlling excess oil production and preventing acne to improving beard health and reducing painful ingrown hairs, the benefits extend far beyond vanity. We explore how men's naturally thicker, oilier skin requires specialized attention and why that bar of soap in your shower is actively working against you. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we discuss the stress-relieving benefits of professional skincare. High cortisol levels don't just impact your mental health—they directly affect your skin, leading to inflammation, breakouts, and that stubborn "stress belly." Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, we reveal how the right facial treatment can reduce puffiness, define your jawline, and boost your overall confidence. For men hesitant to enter the skincare world, we offer practical advice on finding reputable services, what to ask for, and what to expect during your first facial. We even bust common skincare myths in a rapid-fire segment that separates fact from fiction.…
