Ep. 342: Buccal Fat Removal, CoolSculpting, Aesthetic Choices & The Week’s Beauty News

October 5, 2021 Fat Mascara

Like it or not, when celebrities talk about getting cosmetic procedures, they get attention. This week, we discuss the impulse to judge (and danger of judging!) others’ aesthetic choices, and share straightforward information on two procedures that have been in the spotlight: buccal fat removal and CoolSculpting. Plus, Doja Cat’s entrée into beauty; perfumes inspired by video games; a Sour Patch Kids makeup-setting spray (?!); TLC’s medical dermatology show Dr. Mercy; and the surprising evolutionary advantage of having a beard.

Model and nutritionist Maye Musk opens up about ageism in the fashion industry, the evolution of her modeling career, motherhood (and divorce), why it's never too late to prevent sun damage, embracing gray hair, and more. This podcast features a new introduction, but the interview originally aired in January, 2020. (We had planned to release a new interview this week but, as Maye would say, "n boer maak 'n plan." Listen to the episode and that will make sense!) We'll be back to our regular schedule next week.
