Are they 12 00:00:44,345 --> 00:00:47,425 Speaker 1: fact or are they fad like? Are they a little 13 00:00:47,465 --> 00:00:50,225 Speaker 1: bit silly or are they fabulous? And we should all 14 00:00:50,225 --> 00:00:54,825 Speaker 1: be doing them at home? Or if we try them anyway? Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yes, 15 00:00:54,945 --> 00:00:57,545 Speaker 1: we really do fail.

To kick things off. 18 00:01:07,185 --> 00:01:10,585 Speaker 2: In today's episode, we have asked some of the ubies 19 00:01:11,145 --> 00:01:15,145 Speaker 2: what the silliest little beauty fad is that they have seen. 20 00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:18,545 Speaker 3: I think some of the weirdest fads I've heard of 21 00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:22,505 Speaker 3: are I keep seeing people having salmon sperm injected into 22 00:01:22,585 --> 00:01:26,705 Speaker 3: their face, which I find really alarming. And I also 23 00:01:26,745 --> 00:01:33,305 Speaker 3: don't understand the obsession with like animals like mucus and sperm, 24 00:01:33,665 --> 00:01:36,505 Speaker 3: and I don't even know what else like. I just 25 00:01:36,505 --> 00:01:37,825 Speaker 3: find it quite disgusting. 26 00:01:38,385 --> 00:01:42,625 Speaker 2: I'm like, the thought of injecting sperm into my face, 27 00:01:42,625 --> 00:01:45,905 Speaker 2: I'm dying, Okay, Semary, It's not like a giant fish 28 00:01:45,985 --> 00:01:48,385 Speaker 2: is splooging on your face. No, No, it's like a 29 00:01:48,425 --> 00:01:51,545 Speaker 2: percentage of mixed in with whatever they're going to inject. 30 00:01:51,625 --> 00:01:53,825 Speaker 1: Were other ingredients by Popper. 31 00:01:53,825 --> 00:01:55,745 Speaker 2: In the show notes to an episode where it's explained 32 00:01:55,745 --> 00:01:56,345 Speaker 2: a little bit more. 33 00:01:56,505 --> 00:01:59,185 Speaker 1: We do a lot of things in the name of beauty. 34 00:01:59,345 --> 00:02:00,185 Speaker 1: I totally do it. 35 00:02:00,345 --> 00:02:01,425 Speaker 2: Can you do it and let me know how it 36 00:02:01,465 --> 00:02:03,745 Speaker 2: get I will, I'll report back. Apparently it hurts, Oh, 37 00:02:03,745 --> 00:02:05,065 Speaker 2: it probably does injecting. 38 00:02:05,505 --> 00:02:07,865 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, not the needles. But if you come back, 39 00:02:07,905 --> 00:02:09,225 Speaker 1: mate and your skin is smooth. 40 00:02:09,225 --> 00:02:12,465 Speaker 2: Aside, I'm objected you were going through the Jear's facial 41 00:02:12,585 --> 00:02:13,785 Speaker 2: for coming with my own salmon. 42 00:02:14,665 --> 00:02:18,025 Speaker 4: I think the silliest beauty fad I've ever seen was 43 00:02:18,025 --> 00:02:21,305 Speaker 4: when people were doing the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge and 44 00:02:21,385 --> 00:02:24,105 Speaker 4: people would suck their lips into shot glasses and they 45 00:02:24,145 --> 00:02:26,105 Speaker 4: would come out just looking swollen. 46 00:02:26,545 --> 00:02:28,665 Speaker 1: Completely forgot that that was a trend. 47 00:02:29,345 --> 00:02:31,425 Speaker 2: I think I'd blocked it from my memory because it 48 00:02:31,465 --> 00:02:34,385 Speaker 2: was kind of traumatizing to watch people injuring themselves. 49 00:02:34,425 --> 00:02:37,425 Speaker 1: They were making products for it, and then when people 50 00:02:37,425 --> 00:02:38,465 Speaker 1: were getting lip injections. 51 00:02:38,505 --> 00:02:41,185 Speaker 2: I know some people still do, but it was so 52 00:02:41,305 --> 00:02:44,465 Speaker 2: common to walk around and everyone just looked like they'd 53 00:02:44,465 --> 00:02:47,385 Speaker 2: had about three miles pumped into their lips. When Kylie 54 00:02:47,465 --> 00:02:51,345 Speaker 2: Jenner fooled the world into thinking it was all just slipliner. 55 00:02:50,945 --> 00:02:53,945 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, this is my buy it and I 56 00:02:54,025 --> 00:02:56,785 Speaker 1: have a big pouch. Should have a billionaire with that Lie, 57 00:02:57,425 --> 00:03:02,465 Speaker 1: smart girl. Slugging. I never got on that bandwagon. 58 00:03:02,945 --> 00:03:03,825 Speaker 3: I don't understand it. 59 00:03:03,825 --> 00:03:05,545 Speaker 2: I feel like I just break out if I started 60 00:03:05,545 --> 00:03:09,065 Speaker 2: slugging overnight. Funnily enough, when we get to that after 61 00:03:09,105 --> 00:03:17,105 Speaker 2: the break, a perfect segue talking about slugging. I have 62 00:03:17,145 --> 00:03:21,785 Speaker 2: a product in my back, do you yes? Okay, So 63 00:03:21,825 --> 00:03:24,625 Speaker 2: slugging is something that is like a trend. I actually 64 00:03:24,625 --> 00:03:26,265 Speaker 2: didn't even know the term slugging. 65 00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:29,865 Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yes? Because it was just something I did. 66 00:03:30,545 --> 00:03:30,705 Speaker 2: So. 67 00:03:30,825 --> 00:03:32,905 Speaker 1: Slugging is a skincare technique. 68 00:03:32,505 --> 00:03:34,865 Speaker 2: Where you apply a thick layer of what they call 69 00:03:34,945 --> 00:03:37,745 Speaker 2: a colusive agents. It's something like petroleum jelly. What about 70 00:03:37,745 --> 00:03:40,225 Speaker 2: on top of your skincare already to kind of lock 71 00:03:40,265 --> 00:03:44,185 Speaker 2: it all in. Yeah, it's definitely not for acne prone. 72 00:03:44,145 --> 00:03:46,905 Speaker 1: Not for achney prone, not for oily girls. 73 00:03:46,985 --> 00:03:50,145 Speaker 2: And I have to say it's actually not for long 74 00:03:50,265 --> 00:03:52,465 Speaker 2: term use. I think the thing is that the moment, 75 00:03:52,505 --> 00:03:54,185 Speaker 2: the trend is people are making it like they do 76 00:03:54,225 --> 00:03:57,105 Speaker 2: it every single day. That can't be good for your skin. 77 00:03:57,545 --> 00:03:59,905 Speaker 2: But you're suffocating yourself almost. You need to be able 78 00:03:59,905 --> 00:04:01,865 Speaker 2: to break like it's and it's only in the evening. 79 00:04:01,945 --> 00:04:05,625 Speaker 2: So I overdid it with this retinol or retino one 80 00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:08,225 Speaker 2: kind of mixed thing as a prescription great, and I 81 00:04:08,265 --> 00:04:11,305 Speaker 2: hadn't been using it ever, and it was just too 82 00:04:11,345 --> 00:04:13,825 Speaker 2: much on my skin and I had a shit the 83 00:04:13,865 --> 00:04:15,145 Speaker 2: next week and I was like, oh my god, my 84 00:04:15,185 --> 00:04:17,505 Speaker 2: skin is so raw, like it is peeling and raw. 85 00:04:17,585 --> 00:04:19,385 Speaker 1: So I did the slugging technique. 86 00:04:19,665 --> 00:04:23,025 Speaker 2: I used this I don't have pronounced etto itto the 87 00:04:23,065 --> 00:04:24,145 Speaker 2: Australian natural aid. 88 00:04:24,305 --> 00:04:25,305 Speaker 1: Oh okay, And. 89 00:04:25,305 --> 00:04:28,665 Speaker 2: It's a skin that is a very strong, fragranced one 90 00:04:28,705 --> 00:04:29,825 Speaker 2: to use on your face. 91 00:04:30,065 --> 00:04:32,185 Speaker 1: It is, but you do get used to it in 92 00:04:32,185 --> 00:04:34,225 Speaker 1: the evenings. I like, Okay, it's not too bad. 93 00:04:34,585 --> 00:04:37,145 Speaker 2: It has Australian hemp seed and tea tree oil and 94 00:04:37,185 --> 00:04:39,305 Speaker 2: it repairs and restores stressed skin. You can say like 95 00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:41,785 Speaker 2: I basically just scooped it with my nails at the 96 00:04:41,785 --> 00:04:42,265 Speaker 2: bottom there. 97 00:04:42,345 --> 00:04:43,305 Speaker 1: It's very balmy. 98 00:04:43,465 --> 00:04:45,665 Speaker 2: It's very balmy, but I put that on top of 99 00:04:45,705 --> 00:04:48,745 Speaker 2: my moisturizer. You don't need too much, and in five 100 00:04:48,825 --> 00:04:52,065 Speaker 2: days my skin had moisturized. 101 00:04:51,385 --> 00:04:54,145 Speaker 1: It had soothed. It really did help to heal my skin. 102 00:04:54,185 --> 00:04:57,025 Speaker 2: It's great if you've destroyed your skin barrier, yes, and 103 00:04:57,065 --> 00:04:59,385 Speaker 2: it was destroyed at this point, and it really helped 104 00:04:59,385 --> 00:05:00,105 Speaker 2: recover my skin. 105 00:05:00,145 --> 00:05:03,345 Speaker 1: But once it's recovered, I stopped or if. 106 00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:05,385 Speaker 2: I have x mar put it on like some spots, 107 00:05:05,425 --> 00:05:08,145 Speaker 2: but I don't fully slug every day. So it's a 108 00:05:08,265 --> 00:05:10,185 Speaker 2: yes and a no. I think it worked when your 109 00:05:10,225 --> 00:05:11,545 Speaker 2: skin is raw and you need it. 110 00:05:11,505 --> 00:05:13,065 Speaker 1: And it definitely feels good. 111 00:05:13,265 --> 00:05:15,745 Speaker 2: It really really does. And I'm naturally quite dry, but 112 00:05:16,585 --> 00:05:19,265 Speaker 2: not as an everyday like what they're kind of promoting 113 00:05:19,265 --> 00:05:21,465 Speaker 2: at the moment. How they're like, put it on before 114 00:05:21,545 --> 00:05:23,505 Speaker 2: nighttime and you wake up and it's like plump. It's 115 00:05:23,505 --> 00:05:24,985 Speaker 2: like yeah, but you could also wake up and have 116 00:05:25,025 --> 00:05:27,545 Speaker 2: a breakout, yeah, completely congested. 117 00:05:27,945 --> 00:05:30,745 Speaker 1: Next up, retinal alternatives. 118 00:05:30,745 --> 00:05:35,985 Speaker 2: So often we see things like bercuccio touted as ooh, 119 00:05:36,025 --> 00:05:38,865 Speaker 2: this is a retinal alternative if you don't like retinal 120 00:05:39,025 --> 00:05:44,265 Speaker 2: or you're pregnant. And although these ingredients do work, they 121 00:05:44,305 --> 00:05:46,425 Speaker 2: are absolutely not an alternative to retinal. 122 00:05:46,545 --> 00:05:47,705 Speaker 1: That's just a marketing ploy. 123 00:05:47,745 --> 00:05:50,785 Speaker 2: So you could say nicicinamide is an alternative to vitamin 124 00:05:50,865 --> 00:05:54,145 Speaker 2: C in that they are both clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation, 125 00:05:54,385 --> 00:05:56,505 Speaker 2: but they aren't the same thing. Yes, I think it's 126 00:05:56,545 --> 00:05:59,265 Speaker 2: a really good alternative if you're like, like you said, pregnant, 127 00:05:59,505 --> 00:06:02,545 Speaker 2: breastfeeding someone who might be overly sensitive, and yeah they 128 00:06:02,545 --> 00:06:05,545 Speaker 2: can't use retinal, you're still going to get some lovely benefits. 129 00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:08,105 Speaker 1: I hate saying retinal alternatives because it is. It's a 130 00:06:08,145 --> 00:06:09,305 Speaker 1: marketing Yeah. 131 00:06:09,185 --> 00:06:10,865 Speaker 2: A retinal you can kind of get a little bit of. 132 00:06:11,265 --> 00:06:13,305 Speaker 2: It does every year. It does everything, but it's not 133 00:06:13,305 --> 00:06:15,545 Speaker 2: suitable for everyone. But it's not suitable for everyone, and 134 00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,425 Speaker 2: any of those alternatives will be lovely. It's just not 135 00:06:18,505 --> 00:06:20,865 Speaker 2: as strong. It's going to take a little longer. I 136 00:06:20,865 --> 00:06:23,905 Speaker 2: wouldn't say like it's as great as a retinam micro 137 00:06:23,985 --> 00:06:27,785 Speaker 2: needling at home safe or dangerous. I think that it's 138 00:06:27,825 --> 00:06:30,385 Speaker 2: too risky because you could cause injury to your face 139 00:06:30,465 --> 00:06:33,105 Speaker 2: and there are just too many good at home peels 140 00:06:33,105 --> 00:06:35,785 Speaker 2: and masks. I don't justify it. You know, the micro 141 00:06:35,825 --> 00:06:38,705 Speaker 2: needling paths. Oh yeah, I don't classify that. Not the 142 00:06:38,825 --> 00:06:42,465 Speaker 2: rollers because yeah, I've never been brave enough to use 143 00:06:42,505 --> 00:06:43,545 Speaker 2: the rollers on myself. 144 00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:45,465 Speaker 1: I have to go into a specialist for that. 145 00:06:45,625 --> 00:06:49,665 Speaker 2: I just think, don't risk it. What about led masks, 146 00:06:50,025 --> 00:06:53,225 Speaker 2: I have an l I think. I think that they 147 00:06:53,305 --> 00:06:55,065 Speaker 2: really work. And this is actually probably one of the 148 00:06:55,105 --> 00:06:57,905 Speaker 2: most common questions. Do they really work? Are they fat? 149 00:06:58,225 --> 00:06:59,785 Speaker 2: The thing is with led mask, a lot of the 150 00:06:59,785 --> 00:07:02,105 Speaker 2: time you get what you pay for, so their success 151 00:07:02,145 --> 00:07:05,785 Speaker 2: depends on factors like your specific skin issues, the quality 152 00:07:05,985 --> 00:07:10,185 Speaker 2: of the device, consistent usage, and how they're intel graded 153 00:07:10,385 --> 00:07:14,265 Speaker 2: into your routine. So I always use the analogy. You 154 00:07:14,305 --> 00:07:17,145 Speaker 2: can't just go to the gym once and have a 155 00:07:17,185 --> 00:07:19,585 Speaker 2: PT session and think that it's going to work. You 156 00:07:19,665 --> 00:07:22,425 Speaker 2: have to do it several times per week to see results. 157 00:07:22,425 --> 00:07:24,185 Speaker 2: Same with an laed mas. Yeah, it is a long 158 00:07:24,305 --> 00:07:25,825 Speaker 2: term thing and it's great if you've done it. A 159 00:07:25,865 --> 00:07:28,225 Speaker 2: little facial in yourself pop it on there and there's. 160 00:07:28,105 --> 00:07:30,025 Speaker 1: Different lots you're watching TV at home. 161 00:07:30,505 --> 00:07:33,225 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, something good for bacteria, some for anti aging. 162 00:07:33,425 --> 00:07:38,065 Speaker 2: My mum's got one that's literally face I want to 163 00:07:38,145 --> 00:07:39,465 Speaker 2: call ade like. 164 00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:42,745 Speaker 1: You can buy it like the beds I've seen somewhere. 165 00:07:42,745 --> 00:07:44,385 Speaker 2: It's like a full light you can set up at 166 00:07:44,385 --> 00:07:48,105 Speaker 2: home to sit technically for your sleep rhythm. Oh yes, 167 00:07:48,225 --> 00:07:50,425 Speaker 2: I'm going to have the bets of it, I think 168 00:07:50,625 --> 00:07:51,145 Speaker 2: in general. 169 00:07:51,265 --> 00:07:53,425 Speaker 1: Yeah, old body, I want one.
