Ever wondered why your face tells the story of last night's adventures? The latest episode of Sex, Drugs and Skincare dives deep into "party skin" with comedian Tania Estrada, who shares her journey from crystal meth recovery to skincare expertise.

Tania reveals how our bodies' relationship with late nights changes dramatically as we age. While our twenties and thirties allow us to bounce back from celebrations with minimal evidence, our forties bring a reckoning as interrupted sleep cycles catch up with us. She explains the science behind why alcohol wakes you during crucial regeneration hours and how this accumulates into visible skin issues over time.

The conversation takes fascinating turns through Tania’s elaborate nighttime ritual – from immediate makeup removal to strategic hydration timing, mouth taping for better breathing, and homemade "prison earplugs." These practices highlight how seriously skincare professionals take sleep quality, recognizing it as the foundation of skin health that no product can replace.

Beyond sleep, we explore practical solutions for party recovery: niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for under-eye concerns, cucumber-celery juice for internal hydration, and even castor oil for softening lip lines. Tanya candidly shares her experiences with substances, sobriety, and finding balance between nightlife and restoration.

Whether you're a night owl looking to minimize morning-after evidence or simply seeking to understand the connection between lifestyle and skin health, this episode offers authentic insights from someone who's lived both extremes. Join us for this honest, sometimes hilarious exploration of how our choices show up on our faces – and what we can do about it.

Our special guest takes us on a wild ride through the devastating effects of methamphetamine on skin health, exploring the phenomenon known as "meth face" with his trademark intensity and unexpected humor.

Between fits of laughter, we uncover genuinely useful skincare knowledge – including Willem's unconventional hotel toiletry hack that might just change your routine.

This revelation alone makes the episode worth your time.

The conversation weaves through profound observations about art, substance use, and self-awareness, punctuated by Willem's philosophical gems like "You have to know what's wrong with you before you can figure out how to treat you."

Ever wondered why men's skin seems to age differently than women's? The secret lies in biology – men actually have 25% thicker skin, which explains the later onset of wrinkles but doesn't spare them from other skincare woes. In this eye-opening conversation with comedian Bryan Suppan, we unpack the unique challenges men face with their skin and hair care, delivered with plenty of laughs along the way.

Bryan candidly shares his skincare misadventures, from slathering facial oil that left him with what he describes as a "crazy, greasy face" to his current minimalist approach. His admission that he rarely washes his face sparked an honest discussion about how men's natural oil production affects their skincare needs. We explore why traditional men's products like bar soap and body wash can actually worsen skin problems rather than solve them, and offer practical alternatives that don't require complicated routines.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Bryan reveals his extensive hair care regimen, including weekly microneedling with a 1.5mm needle – not for the faint of heart! His commitment to preventing hair loss shows that men care deeply about their appearance, even if they don't always admit it. Bryan’s detailed explanation of combining microneedling with finasteride and minoxidil provides valuable insights for anyone concerned about thinning hair, delivered with refreshing honesty about the effort required to maintain his impressive mane.

Whether you're a skincare novice looking for simple solutions or someone interested in the science behind men's grooming, this episode offers practical advice without the fluff.
