Am I Pretty Now?

We are releasing this episode appropriately on a day of picnics! Today, Hailey is bringing us our third installment of our summer series all on tanning. Join us while we discuss what happens to your skin on a molecular level when you spend too much time in the sun and the difference between UV-A and UV-B rays. We will also be debunking tanning myths including base tans (stop it!) and whether melanined skin can sans sunscreen (spoiler: NO!). So, before you head out to any July 4th picnics, make sure you pack the sunscreen!

In the second episode of our Summer Series, Erin is covering appetite suppressants. Join us while she explains the active ingredients that are veeeery similar to more serious drugs, the "natural" options and how deaths resulted in Europe banning some of these products ... but not the US. Warning: This episode may cause loss of appetite.

We are back! This week's episode is more of a relaxed episode about our experience at Zenkaikon 2022. We want to tell you all about the panels we sat in on, what we've been reading and Doctor Who. Tune in while we ramble on entertainingly.

This week we are bringing our first part two! Erin is back at it again with more odd practices humans have done with their teeth. She will be covering implants, veneers, flippers and grillz. If you're interested in learning about all the things people tried using as implants, health risks of veneers/flippers and who owns the most expensive grill, give the episode a listen!

On today's episode, Hailey is bringing us a mini episode discussing the FDA, aka Food and Drug Administration. Since they've been a hot topic in recent times, it is important to understand exactly what the FDA is in charge of, and what they aren't in charge of. Spoiler: Americans expect way more of them than what is authorized duties. Join us while Hailey discusses, more specifically, the FDA's role in regulations of cosmetics. It's a doozy! 

This week, Erin is bringing us a potpourri episode about animal secretion facials. She will focus on the ingredients from the animal kingdom that are commonly used such as bee venom, whale sperm and bird poop. And she will tell us about the benefits of these components, and more! Tune in.

On today's episode, Hailey is going to be telling us about skin lightening: a way to chemically do the opposite of a tan! She will share the overall unfortunate reason behind the practice, what questionable ingredients have been used, and how companies are responding to questions about their ambiguous ethics. Tune in!

This week, Hailey will be presenting about boobies! More specifically, the breast augmentation. Being the second most popular procedure in America, it's only time we get to it, right? You're going to be surprised when Hailey tells you when the first documented procedure occurred, what materials were inserted pre-implants, and what kind of wonky symptoms you could develop that the FDA will claim has no links to the surgery. Get ready, friends!
