Ever wondered why your face tells the story of last night's adventures? The latest episode of Sex, Drugs and Skincare dives deep into "party skin" with comedian Tania Estrada, who shares her journey from crystal meth recovery to skincare expertise.

Tania reveals how our bodies' relationship with late nights changes dramatically as we age. While our twenties and thirties allow us to bounce back from celebrations with minimal evidence, our forties bring a reckoning as interrupted sleep cycles catch up with us. She explains the science behind why alcohol wakes you during crucial regeneration hours and how this accumulates into visible skin issues over time.

The conversation takes fascinating turns through Tania’s elaborate nighttime ritual – from immediate makeup removal to strategic hydration timing, mouth taping for better breathing, and homemade "prison earplugs." These practices highlight how seriously skincare professionals take sleep quality, recognizing it as the foundation of skin health that no product can replace.

Beyond sleep, we explore practical solutions for party recovery: niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for under-eye concerns, cucumber-celery juice for internal hydration, and even castor oil for softening lip lines. Tanya candidly shares her experiences with substances, sobriety, and finding balance between nightlife and restoration.

Whether you're a night owl looking to minimize morning-after evidence or simply seeking to understand the connection between lifestyle and skin health, this episode offers authentic insights from someone who's lived both extremes. Join us for this honest, sometimes hilarious exploration of how our choices show up on our faces – and what we can do about it.

What happens when Willem Dafoe (COMEDIAN JEFF RICHARDS in deep fake ) drops by to discuss the fastest way to destroy your skin? Pure comedic chaos with surprising skincare insights.

Our special guest takes us on a wild ride through the devastating effects of methamphetamine on skin health, exploring the phenomenon known as "meth face" with his trademark intensity and unexpected humor. From the shocking science of formication (where 40-70% of users feel insects crawling under their skin) to the visible deterioration caused by dehydration and restricted blood flow, this episode peels back the layers on substance-related skin damage in a way only we could deliver.

Between fits of laughter, we uncover genuinely useful skincare knowledge – including Willem's unconventional hotel toiletry hack that might just change your routine. "You know they say it's for the body, but that's just so you won't use it on your face, but you can use it on your face," he shares with conspiratorial delight. This revelation alone makes the episode worth your time.

The conversation weaves through profound observations about art, substance use, and self-awareness, punctuated by Willem's philosophical gems like "You have to know what's wrong with you before you can figure out how to treat you." Despite the outlandish tangents involving everything from Jefferson Starship to book clubs for blind people, the episode delivers genuine value for anyone interested in understanding how lifestyle choices dramatically impact appearance.
