Whether you’re here because you saw it on Instagram, heard your friend mention it, or you’re considering taping your own face tonight—this one’s for you.

We cover the good, the bad, and the “please don’t use Gorilla tape” side of face taping. You’ll learn about its temporary effects on wrinkles, how it’s used in facial rehabilitation for Bell’s palsy, and what actual dermatologists and medical studies have to say about it.

✅ Topics in this episode include:

• What is face taping and how is it used for wrinkles

• The true story behind Frownies and Old Hollywood tape tricks

• Face taping for Bell’s palsy and facial paralysis

• Post-surgery swelling and scar healing with kinesiology tape

• Real risks: skin irritation, acne, scarring, and more

• Myths, misinformation, and what the research actually shows

💬 Whether you’re into anti-aging skincare, kinesiology tape, TikTok beauty hacks, or just love hearing science explained with sarcasm and humor; you’re in the right place.

Mental health has been confusing humans since the first cave-person wondered why they felt weird for no obvious reason. In this episode we trek from ancient trepanation to tomorrow’s psychedelic-assisted therapy and AI mood-bots—with plenty of sarcasm, fun facts, and zero shame. We unpack the biology, psychology, and “life keeps lif-ing” environmental triggers behind mental illness, trash some stubborn myths, and swap personal stories (because our ADHD needs to make an appearance in each episode... iykyk).
