Ep. 332: The Surprising Side Benefits of Cosmetic Injectables & The Week’s Beauty News

Hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Juvéderm) and neuromodulators (such as Botox) have some surprising benefits—other than the usual stuff like a plumper complexion and fewer wrinkles. Jenn just got injected and she’ll tell you all about it, including the explanation her dermatologist gave for the unexpected improvements. We’re also talking about the viral video that proves how well a Peter Thomas Roth eye cream works on under-eye bags and other news: a $45 nail polish; corporate updates at Shiseido Americas and Olaplex; Ariana Grande’s new beauty line; and, in the Science Corner, research showing that odors and fragrances are actually encoded in language (you just have to know how to listen for the clues).

Ep. 323: The Ethics of Beauty with Philosopher Heather Widdows

Why has beauty become so important to our society? Is looks-based discrimination, or lookism, as bad as sexism or racism? Why do beauty and wellness companies use moral language (“Be your best self!”) to sell products? These are just a few of the big questions that Heather Widdows, PhD, a professor of philosophy at the University of Birmingham, answers in this fascinating interview that will make you rethink the way you talk about (and judge) other people's looks—and reconsider the way you respond when others comment on your appearance.
