245. Instagram Face Is Ruining Us: Diane & Nyna Tell the Truth

🎙️ The 80-40 Factor: Instagram Face, Filters, and the Future of “Looking Younger”

Hosts: Diane Gilman & Nyna Gilpin

This episode of The 80-40 Factor tackles “Instagram face,” the rise of filters, Botox, fillers, and the pressure to look perfect at every age. Nyna Gilpin brings the social media perspective, while Diane Gilman shares what it feels like to navigate beauty standards at 80—post-breast cancer, post-chemo, and still very much in the public eye. Together they question why women are chasing one homogenized look, how filters are warping self-image, and whether AI “perfect” versions of celebrities like Kim Kardashian are the future of entertainment.

What You’ll Hear

• What “Instagram face” is and why so many women now look the same
• Teenagers starting Botox, longevity culture, and the false promise of a “fountain of youth”
• How filters and wigs can quietly erode self-esteem—and why Nyna gave up wigs
• Diane’s honest account of losing brows, lashes, and hair during chemo, and relearning how to feel beautiful
• Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, All’s Fair, and whether an AI Kim could act better than the real one
• Dating apps, filters, and why people are craving real, current photos and real faces again
• The rise of AI “stars” like Tilly Norwood and what it means when you can’t tell what’s real
• A pro-aging stance: embracing enhancement without erasing who you truly are
