    Ep. 143 The effects of not sleeping on your skin.

    Send us Fan Mail On this episode of SEX DRUGS AND SKINCARE, I sit down with special guest Macey Isaacs, recently featured on Netflix’s Funny AF, to talk about sleep and what happens to your skin when you don’t get enough of it. We get into the real effects of sleep deprivation on the face and body—from dull skin, puffiness, dark circles, and accelerated aging to stress, hormones, and why no skincare product can completely cover up exhaustion. We also talk about the difference between temporary lack of sleep and chronic sleep deprivation, plus the lifestyle habits that quietly wreck your glow over time. Macey brings the humor while we break down the science, the myths, and the reality of trying to look healthy when your nervous system is running on fumes. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror after a bad night’s sleep and thought, “Why do I look completely different?” this episode is for you.

    Ep. 142 special guest Comedian PRECIOUS HALL/luxury treatments versus total BS

    Send us Fan Mail Precious is hilarious, so we have a lot of fun breaking down everything from over-the-top facials to high-end treatments people swear by. We talk about what gives you that quick, short-term glow, what’s basically doing nothing at all, what actually takes time and consistency to work, and which treatments are genuinely worth it. If you’ve ever been tempted by some expensive, trendy treatment and wondered if it’s magic or just marketing, this episode will help you separate the real from the ridiculous.

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when “self-care” goes too far.  In this episode eI sit down with comedian Ric Rosario to talk about the fine line between taking care of yourself and quietly damaging yourself in the name of beauty. From over-exfoliating and destroying your skin barrier to the slow creep of overdone cosmetic procedures, we break down how extreme routines have become normalized—and even praised. You can watch the episode on YouTube and see the unique way Ric opens up the box of Winchell’s donuts that he brought for us. 🤣

    IT’S PHIL HENDRIE AGAIN TALKING WITH US ABOUT GUT HEALTH!!

    Send us Fan Mail We  took the week off, so we are re-sharing another episode with the  hilarious Phil Hendrie while we talk about gut health  and skin.  Radio legend Phil Hendrie also from Rick and Morty, Team America, F is for Famiy, This is 40….. The list goes on forever, a documentary about his life called “Hendrie”,  joins the SDS pod and we discuss the gut, It’s biome, and the immune disorders that pop up when the biome is “out of order.”  Phil is an absolute treasure, and we were thrilled to have him on the show.  Your skin is trying to tell you something, and it might have nothing to do with your skincare routine. In this eye-opening episode, we explore the profound connection between gut health and skin conditions.  What if those persistent skin issues—from acne to psoriasis—are actually symptoms of an imbalanced gut microbiome? We unpack how the trillions of microorganisms in your digestive system affect your skin's appearance and health, and why conventional dermatology often misses this crucial link. Phil shares his personal health journey, including a harrowing experience with double pneumonia that forced him to quit smoking and reassess his entire approach to health. The conversation takes fascinating turns as we discuss how antibiotics prescribed for skin conditions can actually worsen gut health, creating a vicious cycle that keeps skin problems returning. We break down the difference between prebiotics (found in foods like asparagus, garlic, and seaweed) and probiotics (in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kombucha), explaining how they work together to maintain a healthy gut environment. Between laughs and Phil's remarkable character voices, we deliver practical advice on nurturing your gut microbiome through diet and lifestyle changes. You'll learn why starting slowly with probiotics prevents uncomfortable die-off symptoms, how stress impacts your digestive system, and why those beach walks Phil enjoys might benefit more than just his cardiovascular health. Whether you're battling persistent skin issues or simply want to optimize your health from the inside out, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the body's interconnected systems. Subscribe now and join our community of listeners discovering that true beauty really does start from within—specifically, in your gut.

    Ep 140 Part 2 PHIL HENDRIE!

    Send us Fan Mail What starts as a skincare conversation quickly dissolves into pure chaos, with Phil’s character work pulling the whole room into unpredictable tangents that barely circle back to beauty at all. We are so lucky to have had Phil on the show multiple times and he never disappoints! Don’t forget to check him out and also watch his movie about himself called “HENDRIE”.

    Ep. 140 SPECIAL GUEST PHIL HENDRIE!

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, (part one) Nicky and  Sandro sit down with Phil Hendrie to talk skincare myths, questionable beauty practices, and what people are getting very wrong about taking care of their skin. Phil’s credit are too many to list but: Recurring roles on King of the Hill (voicing characters like Coach Sauers and Big Jim), Rick and Morty (as Principal Vagina), F is for Family, Futurama, and recent appearances in Grey’s Anatomy and Everybody Still Hates Chris. Team America: World Police(voicing I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.), Semi-Pro, and the 2024 horror-comedy Destroy All Neighbors. Etc..etc. etc….. But as the conversation unfolds, things take a turn—blurring the line between education and absurdity. Somewhere between the laughs, there’s real insight into what works, what doesn’t, and why skincare misinformation is everywhere. This is Part 1—and it only gets wilder from here.
