Sex, Drugs and Skincare
The Skincare Secrets of Sex Workers!
What do strippers, adult film performers, and exotic dancers know about skincare that the rest of us don't? Turns out, quite a lot. When your appearance directly impacts your income and you work under harsh conditions, you quickly develop effective skincare strategies that stand up to extreme challenges.
We dive into the specialized routines sex workers use to maintain glowing skin despite stage lights, heavy makeup, constant friction, and back-to-back performances. These professionals have mastered techniques to combat issues that would leave most people's skin in distress. From Vietnamese-American makeup artist Nam Vo (who developed her famous "dewy dumpling" technique while working with strip club dancers) to current adult performers who've shared their post-shift recovery rituals, the adult entertainment industry has become an unexpected source of practical skincare wisdom.
The conversation reveals fascinating insights about treating "friction zones," preventing irritation from frequent waxing, and the importance of post-shift cleansing routines. We explore how performers use specific products like waterproof setting sprays during shows and rich body butters afterward, creating an effective skincare sandwich that protects and repairs. Beyond just products, we discuss how many sex workers incorporate holistic recovery practices, including epsom salt baths and "comfort meals" that nourish both body and spirit after demanding performances.
Whether you wear heavy makeup, exercise intensively, or simply want more effective skincare, these industry secrets offer valuable lessons that anyone can apply. As we conclude, the most important takeaway remains: consistency is everything. Treat your skin like it's your job to care for it - because it is.

Speaker 2:I've never seen anything. What do?
Speaker 1:you mean, you've never seen anything, I've never seen anything.
Speaker 2:So this is definitely something that I haven't seen, because I've never seen anything. What do you mean? You've never seen anything, I've never seen anything. So this is definitely something that I haven't seen.
Speaker 1:Because I've never seen anything. You don't even see things.
Speaker 2:I don't. I don't look at things because I can't see color, or dead people, or dead people. I don't watch that movie.
Speaker 1:Or colored dead people.
Speaker 2:I won't watch anything with Bruce Willis. With Bruce Willis, well said, thank you.
Speaker 1:So we've thank you for enjoying the new, shorter format. It's just been forcing our incredibly funny friends to be funny on the fly and it's actually working. I think the pressure is really. Don't you feel like it's making people just sort of like think faster?
Speaker 2:I think it is subconsciously making people think faster because they know it's a shorter podcast, but also they're more excited to get to go home sooner. I think that's the biggest thing is like when you get, when you go to a place, you're like I'm here less than oh my god everything might as well be the dmv, if you get to go home sooner, you're like oh, thank god every time before and and I love this is like my favorite thing to do is this podcast.
Speaker 1:Every single time on the way here, we both are like, oh god, I can't wait to come home.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so exciting anything that I've ever planned. That's super, super excited. I'm like, oh, this is.
Speaker 1:I'm looking forward to talking about it on the way home after yeah, it's just that kind of thing people do yeah uh, this is my co-host sherpa, boyfriend, set decorator, all-around cute guy with curly hair. This is sandro yocolano this is me hello you're very cute you're very cute I was looking at you and then, when you were over there, you were cute too. On the other couch over there too oh whoa, he looks cute from a lot of different angles yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that. That's good to know. Thanks, okay, I feel self-conscious on the couch. I'm like I never. I don't know how I look on the couch.
Speaker 1:You look good on the couch okay, good yeah good, it's good to know yeah, it is good to know. So, uh, the last three episodes I have had the guests pick their own um uh mystery. Yeah, exactly their own mystery topics, uh, and I came in with four we have one left and I'm gonna have to give this to you and I need you to read it out loud for us.
Speaker 2:Okay, are you ready?
Speaker 1:yep here you go, sandra. Okay, read it into the camera skincare for sex workers yes, I'm so glad you got this one.
Speaker 2:This is great is, uh, we just we just wrapped another tax season, so sex workers, oh right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you're a sex worker, you gotta fill your taxes like everybody, like every hard-working american, like every hard-on-working american there it is thank you, kaboom kaboom, you better get checked for stds um, I like our topics lately because it's like it's stuff that you normally wouldn't think about with skincare, but it also I think it shines light on things that you do want to know about skincare.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Don't you think Sometimes I do. I want you to praise me right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do. I think I think that you're doing a great job and I think there are things that you're like. Oh, I wonder how people take care of themselves in this specific thing. Yeah, you know, um, yeah, like, sometimes I'll like when I used to watch porn, I used to watch, like you know, like stuff like that, and I would see these people that looked completely drugged out of their minds.
Speaker 2:Like they had to go somewhere Not that I've seen it, not that you've seen it Drugged out of their minds. It looked like that their last you know ditch effort. They, they they're smiling and they you feel like you know. What are these people doing? I mean, you know, obviously their lives are in shambles and they're going to die very early, but you look good.
Speaker 1:As long as they look good, that's all that really matters.
Speaker 2:Right, and all you got to show is it's on your whole. Life on the whole has to look much.
Speaker 1:And and not this is not to denigrate anybody who's in the sex um industry Um, I mean, I think it's a very much needed as I itch my arm.
Speaker 2:Um.
Speaker 1:I think it's a much needed industry that, um, it just maybe needs a little bit of tidying up with uh, with the way people are treated.
Speaker 2:It could be. You know, um, I think so, I. It's definitely something that people like to do. You know, um, I, I think so. I it's definitely something people like to do. You know, I've heard people like to have sex and um. So maybe you know, as a worker or whatever, you do that. Or you know, maybe that's just your way of, that's an your, that's your addiction and you've made, you found a way to make money off of it. You know that's what we do pretty much. Yeah, yeah, I'm addicted to opening my mouth and obviously it's like sex working, except jokes sometimes come out.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, and then people laugh, and then you go home?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like sex.
Speaker 1:Like exactly, people laugh and then they go home, exactly. Oh God, I wish I could. So let's get into it. All right. So we're going to talk about some industry insights, some actual, real anecdotes and a pinch of science. Hmm, pinch of science.
Speaker 2:Are you sure about? You want to do a pinch of science when you're talking about sex workers? Because everybody knows that sex workers is mainly religious. It's mainly like a. It's a biblical thing.
Speaker 1:Oh, I see, I thought you were going to make a joke about the pinching part. No, no I. What was the pinching?
Speaker 2:oh, because, pinching it I don't know because you're pinching. I don't know. Pinching it off. Pinching someone's when I think of pinching a pinch of science somebody's like squeezing somebody's bunsen burner like he well see again.
Speaker 1:I thought you're gonna stop at bun squeeting some oh yeah, bunsen, sorry nice little, okay. Um so um, we're gonna talk about how some sex workers maintain really glowing skin through sweat, throughout all the sweat and the friction and the stage lights, because that's harsh, exactly.
Speaker 2:And some sex workers through indentured servitude yeah, some of them. They don't have a chance, they don't have a choice.
Speaker 1:Don't bum everybody out. I'm not bumming everybody out.
Speaker 2:But there is a specific part of the like the massage market. Yes, you go to a massage parlor and I'm not bumming everybody out, but there is a specific part of the like the massage market. Yes, you go to a massage parlor and I'm not saying sexually, I'm saying a lot of those people are brought from other countries and they're forced to massage until they work off the debt to the person who brought them there.
Speaker 1:That's why when you go to a place and it's like $25 massage, you're like, oh my God, and they definitely aren't taking it out on you with their incredibly like, uh, rough strokes and standing on your back, not at all. Their hands are not completely calloused.
Speaker 2:They don't feel like they've, just, they don't feel like they've been soothing themselves with sandpaper, um, and their fingers don't smell like cigarettes oh, man but it's 25 and you can't go wrong because we're out of business now I just can't, I can't, and then we're gonna move on.
Speaker 1:But I'll never forget when you and your brother went to one of those places. We're all in the same room.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's like not Italian, italian and like super Italian. So I look over and the two boys have their shirts off, but do they? Because it was like by the time I got down to, my brother, your brother, it was yeah. It was like and then? And the people that are massaging you are like bodiless they have no bodies.
Speaker 2:Well, comparison we're actually bodies, we just have hair. They're hairless, they're, they're from you know like, where they don't even any hair of any kind no, no.
Speaker 1:So I was wondering what, like, what they thought, like I'm like oh man, they're probably, like god, this is awful enough as it is.
Speaker 2:Now I have to like feel this guy's hair and you know, uh, yeah, it's, uh, it's a rough thing.
Speaker 1:You know it is a rough thing, all right, so let's talk about it. So there's obviously industry pressure. People are wearing heavy duty makeup, right sticky costumes yep, stinky costumes. Stinky if you're good, if you're good at sex work, you're gonna be wearing a stinky costume bright lights, um, there's, uh, they're frequently doing back-to-back shows too, and that's and that includes strippers as well yeah, they'll do nuts to butts.
Speaker 2:And back to back to one of our favorite comedians. Let's talk about the skincare of nuts to butts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nuts to butts is it butts to nuts or nuts to butts?
Speaker 2:it's's everything you want it to be, it doesn't really matter yeah.
Speaker 1:But all that stuff can really give you some major skin issues. So there is and I had to look this person up Nam Vo. Okay, she's a renowned Vietnamese, american makeup artist, and she celebrated for her signature dewy dumplings. Look Right, what is that, you ask? It's a radiant, radiant, glowing skin aesthetic that has captivated both celebrities and beauty enthusiasts. Not reading this at all. Um, so her journey journey into the beauty industry is both very unconventional and inspiring. Okay, and uh, she started her career though getting back to that in strip clubs getting prepping the dancers okay right, so she's credited them for inspiring these dewy dumpling glow aesthetics and these were like.
Speaker 2:These were in uh, in vietnam, like in another country I don't know.
Speaker 1:I, I, I thought it was in america, but I didn't. I didn't deep dive into that again.
Speaker 2:These are strip club and then dancers over. But like, because when I'm thinking about, like, prepping strippers for dancing, I I just think of the club lowering the lights.
Speaker 1:Well, that's nature's makeup.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. Like you lower the lights, put on loud music, stick body parts in front of somebody's face that they you know, and all of a sudden their face is dewy, you're like, oh my God, what a beautiful person I can't barely see. Yeah, see, yeah, their face is dewy. Yeah, um, that's interesting. Dewy dumplings, okay, I want a little more.
Speaker 1:I want, I want, I want a little more. I hope I can provide you with more dewy dumplings. Yeah, but do a dumpling system. Did you file it away? File that one away, never to be found don't be cheeky oh, you're good. Okay, hold on, let's see. So, uh, they basically they're treating skincare like armor because, okay, you can't really be yourself in that situation. I don't know if you've noticed, when you go to a strip club, it's like full on eyelashes makeup.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's so over the top You're supposed to look like you're kind of like. You know it's not a real situation that you're in.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:You know, even though the money you're spending is real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so now there are some other things that you have to consider. With, uh, some of those things, some people are extremely, uh, sensitive to coconut oil and it causes bad breakouts, so you got to watch that when you're doing, and also you probably slip right off the pole right, right.
Speaker 2:You have to be careful about that um, let's see, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1:Let's see what else is there. Oh shoot, I lost my notes here. Hold on um a lot of bikini waxing. That's a, that's a skincare concern. Yeah, that's a lot that it hurts.
Speaker 2:And then it gets like um you have the razor bumps or you get yeah, you get ingrown hairs, yeah, that's it. Yeah, you get a rash. Yeah, and you don't. You can't take time off for that stuff. You have to keep going there.
Speaker 2:You can't take time off because you have a rash, when the lights get lower and the skin and the face gets even more beautiful to distract from the, uh, the irritated area when, yeah, the below the belt stuff, the below the belt stuff, exactly um, and apparently I guess she's used tea tree oil and butt cream diaper dye.
Speaker 1:I don't. I don't know what a butt cream diaper dye is, but it's something called Boudreaux's and that calms the irritation from some of those said waxes.
Speaker 2:Said waxes okay. You've never been waxed, oh did I wax your eyebrow once I have my eyebrow and my nose hairs, that's right.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was fun to rip those hairs out of your nose, wasn't that me? But I know you got it on set. No, I don't remember where I did it I thought you were shooting a commercial and she ripped out your nose hairs.
Speaker 2:No, I think it was my ears hairs, the nose hairs. I went once with my I was visiting my brother and his wife at the time went to get her eyebrows done. She said, oh, I have a credit for this thing, and I was like she's giving me a ride to my brother. So I was like, all right. So basically they put this thing in your nose it's like a and they it's like a hard wax, it's almost like a it's cold wax cold, it was warm oh, it was warm, it was warm, but then it hardened right and then it's like black, and then you yank it out and like it felt, like it was like.
Speaker 2:It felt like like somebody, like just I don't know.
Speaker 1:Like it pulled like I feel bad head out of my head. Well, you have such thick hair, like every follicle probably feels just like a rope coming through your skin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah. That's why I don't get my balls.
Speaker 1:Oh, is that why Tweezed.
Speaker 2:So that's why.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2:I used to get them stringed oh yeah, threading, threading Okay so. Wash the threads, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, so after your shift, if you are a sex worker, it's advised to obviously to take a shower.
Speaker 2:Bull shift Even just a quick wipe down just to remove the sweat, the alcohol After you have sex for a living. It's good to clean yourself.
Speaker 1:I think this is for. This. Seems like it's for strippers Okay.
Speaker 2:And then the bacteria. Okay, yeah, seems like it's for strippers. Okay, and then the bacteria.
Speaker 1:Okay yeah, because it's after a shift, right Right, they don't usually call.
Speaker 2:They don't have shifts.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Like the strippers and nurses. Usually they have shifts, they work, you know.
Speaker 1:Strippers and nurses, yeah.
Speaker 2:Overnight shifts. They do actually. They do actually nurse who was going through nursing school to become a stripper and, uh, because it's just, you know it's much, it's a lot harder to get your stripper's degree yeah, your stripper's degree. Yeah, I like that yeah, you have to go to school. You have to drop out of school for so many years before they're allowed to get your stripper's degree, and then it's like it's very competitive because a lot of people just drop out of school.
Speaker 1:You're so good, well, I know the job I'm just saying, like the jokes are really getting better, like this is the fourth one we shot today, so like that was very quick of you, I liked it. I mean not, that you're not quick, but like that was fucking funny.
Speaker 2:Thank you very much. I try to take as much time as I can but be funny at the same time. You are, I want to just want to go home.
Speaker 1:Obviously, you need hydration, right, so you need to moisturize daily. Uh, use like a good heavy body butter post shift, though, because if you're, if you're on the pole yeah there's nothing more dangerous than going on a pole. I took the s factor classes and when the girls would put body lotion on, yeah, you slide right off yep and you, you really hurt yourself. A lot of hip dysplasia.
Speaker 2:You get a lot of like a lot of stuff where you have to, like you can't go back to work. Uh, yeah, that's heavy because you have to like clean yourself a lot you have to be like dry it'd be dry, and then you have to put lotion to keep your skin moist, and then you have to be dry to get on the thing.
Speaker 1:So that's what's well, that's why they give you those sticky, uh the plastic shoes where you buy them yeah um, because that's how you can climb up the pole, because the plastic grabs onto the pole okay, yeah, that's right, it's really for no other reason other than that.
Speaker 2:That is really like that.
Speaker 1:I guess that's why they call it sex workers and not just sex yeah because it's you have to work it's hard work yeah huh, I used to be pretty, not very good, but I would be willing to show you sometime if we ever had a pole situation. It's just fun to climb the pole and swing around and-.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe in the yeah, we could put a pole in one of our rooms somewhere, just as exercise That'd be fun.
Speaker 2:That would be fun, or what we could do is we could put one outside and then we can also use it as a tetherball pole and we can just say boom, boom, boom and then the loser has to do a pole dance.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it does sound like a good idea.
Speaker 1:I'm tethered to that idea.
Speaker 2:You bitch.
Speaker 1:Okay, I took this from Allure magazine. So there's some sex workers called Mari V and Cassie Black. They're performers in the adult and exotic dance industry who've spoken up and shared different insights about how they take care of their skin and their bodies Exotic dance. Yes, exotic, that's with feathers maybe.
Speaker 2:I think so. I was thinking like an amusement park or something like that.
Speaker 1:Why amusement park? It's very exotic. Amusement parks are exotic.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I can't think of what I'm trying to say. What's exotic?
Speaker 2:like you're. It's like a like an animal. Certain animals are exotic or something that's foreign to your. Cars are exotic cars, exotic cars.
Speaker 1:Right, like a lamborghini would be an exotic car, right, right, yeah, something that's different. Something that's different, okay, yeah, okay it's very exotic dancing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's different dancing, different dancing yeah, that's what they should call it. That's different.
Speaker 1:The movie should have been called different dancing instead of dirty thank you, you're welcome.
Speaker 2:It's just different. It's just different. It's just different. Yeah, it's just different. It's so stupid. I'm feeling different.
Speaker 1:I'm just feeling some type of way. Um, okay, so they're talking about and giving insights about how they take care of their skin and bodies while working in environments like strip clubs, which involve, like we were talking about, heavy makeup under the lighting and the sweating and the long hours.
Speaker 2:High humidity. The barometric pressure in a strip club has to be just awful.
Speaker 1:It's like raining in there. Yeah, it's gotta be raining in there. They don't have to make it rain. It's already raining, it's already raining in there.
Speaker 2:It's like like, oh my god, if there was a boat here that'd be swells so gross.
Speaker 1:There's lots of swells a lot of swells.
Speaker 2:Not very many swells people, but just lots of swells yeah, not swell people.
Speaker 1:Um, so apparently you know, strippers they have to maintain flawless skin and glowing appearances despite these incredibly harsh conditions, and so they rely on specific skincare routines that are like uh products and lifestyle habits that are going to combat your issues, which we just talked about the physical exertion, the makeup and stuff like that. What did they? Let's look through my notes and see what they actually said, cause I repeated myself on this, this thing here. The reason why I put them on there is I didn't I didn't know who they were when I looked them up. So I actually like looked up to see who these people were, cause I didn't know who those people were. Yeah, um, yeah, so they're into okay. So Cassie we talked about I think it was Cassie V Is that what I said?
Speaker 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:So she uses an SPF primer, uh waterproof setting spray.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So that's really important because that's going to lock in all of the the um your makeup, so it's not sliding off okay and then so she is a um, she's actually a porn person, a porn oh, that was exotic dancing. No, actually this one is a well she. They do exotic dancing a lot of times too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because the supplement to supplement exactly you gotta. You gotta keep your skills sharp yeah, I get that. Yeah, it's a side hustle back when I was a strip club aficionado. I think the last time I went to a strip club we actually went there to watch a boxing match on a pay per view.
Speaker 2:This was years and years and years ago and all the strippers were angry at us because we weren't paying attention to them and I was like, excuse me, we're trying to watch boxing, put your body away like, we'll show you a box yeah, but there was like, also like other people, nice, thank you god, because it's a rather, it's a regular.
Speaker 2:It's a regular u-haul over there um, but there was, you know, like, uh, other porn stars that were like oh so, and so is going to be here, you know, candy melons is going to be here, whatever is gonna, you know, come in here later, or whatever right and they, they draw a big crowd, huge crowds, and I realized that's how they make them, but at least at that point in time that's how they're making the bulk of their money, because they weren't making money off of videos, because they weren't selling it so much for like commercials and whatnot, they weren't having, you know, like stuff on ads like jenna jameson would do stuff like that and like show up at these strip clubs and it would just draw so many people.
Speaker 1:So then she gets paid a big lump sum probably.
Speaker 2:Exactly or a cover.
Speaker 1:That's part of the cover. She probably gets covered. She probably definitely gets covered actually, and obviously she does a lot of post-scene showering and then a comfort meal to reset. She said that's nice, a comfort meal. What's a comfort meal to reset? She said that's nice.
Speaker 2:A comfort meal, what's a?
Speaker 1:comfort meal, like some spaghetti.
Speaker 2:I don't know, after you debased yourself for well, she could also love it. So you know what I'm going from. The angle of this is not what they want to do, but maybe this is what they want to do.
Speaker 1:They say that's what they want to do. I totally believe them, but I'm just.
Speaker 2:I'm presenting the of somebody that there's not enough. There's not enough people here that are scared about what's going on in the world, so I want to present that side. We're pretty cool with stuff and I'm happy for everybody doing their own thing, but I also want to be terrified yeah so I'll present, I'll play devil's advocate. You're the perfect American, thank you. But yeah, what's the? What's the post show meal?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I would like to know Something, probably, that maybe could make you gassy that you couldn't eat before, yeah, that you couldn't have before, or maybe something that like Like Chipotle Chipotle yeah, exactly Chipotle or something that makes you feel so, tastes so good, but yet you know it's not taking your mind off of work, right? So maybe you'll have like a beef stroganoff, even though it makes you sound Beef stroganoff.
Speaker 1:This is 1950?
Speaker 2:Well, I'm saying like it sounds like masturbating and it has beef in there, it does actually so it wouldn't throw you off, you know, oh god beef stroganoff is so disgusting.
Speaker 1:What's wrong with that beef stroganoff? Have you had it? No, I've never had that stuff, it's such a like in the old cookbooks that you used to get, like it was like one of like the big meals that the 50s ladies would cook, oh okay is it like a Russian thing?
Speaker 2:it sounds like stroogonoff, I don't know it's like.
Speaker 1:It's like got a lot of sauciness and beef and just like cream, I think yeah, it's heavy as a dictator, almost like ceviche okay, but with beef is it cold? I thought it was hot oh, he wants ceviche oh, I'm a totally different subject alex wants ceviche okay, what's different? That sounds amazing actually.
Speaker 2:I love ceviche yeah, beef, what's the other one? They're not beef stroking off, but there's also, um, uh, shepherd's pie, oh, shepherd's pie, baby, there's nothing I like more after a good stripping session than a shepherd's pie, a nice big bowl of shepherd's pie with, like, just like a nice, just one bite. You're taking a nap? Yeah, sorry guys, I'm bloated. You just eat the whole shepherd's pie? Yeah, well, I mean, if you're a good shepherd you eat the whole pie.
Speaker 1:That sounds good too.
Speaker 2:Actually we should you can't flock the shepherd no this is getting good okay, um, so yeah.
Speaker 1:So basically it's important, not just for your skin, but emotionally and physically, to take care of yourself after you're doing they meant to have a comfort meal well, I mean, that's part of it. She's, you know, she's caring for herself, right, right, you know, not just, she probably starved herself all day long. So she looked good in a bathing suit or whatever, or naked or whatever you do in your strip.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no matter what you do for like it feels like even if you do that your entire life, it's less self-conscious. You might just not care so much about certain things but, you're still going to be like no, I don't want to go up there looking like I just ate a bag of farts. Is that people are going to want to give money?
Speaker 2:you're like you know they're in the vending machine out there, like nice little blaze farts oh yeah, a gassy farty stripper not going to get any money no contrast when I was, I remember growing up. I remember seeing strippers a lot of times with like tampon hanging out and they would have no problem that's because it's florida oh yeah, it's florida for sure wow, yeah, well, they're taking care.
Speaker 1:At least you know that they are.
Speaker 2:Uh, they're not in menopause, yeah, and strings attached, but not in the way you think I hate you so much.
Speaker 1:Come on. No, all right. So the key takeaways and for the glow um guidelines for these people is you want to exfoliate a lot. You're going to use a body scrub or a sponge because you want to get all the buildup off, and it will also prevent the irritation that you're going to get right um, you're going to do a post-shift cleanse.
Speaker 2:Post-shift.
Speaker 1:Post-shift, not post shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't want to pre-shift.
Speaker 1:No, uh, and then you're going to hydrate, and then you're going to put a rich oil or a body butter on over whatever you're hydrating with to, um, you know, just to seal in the juices, yeah, and then you're going to want to target your friction zones um, I'm assuming your friction zones if you, they do a lot of crawling.
Speaker 2:So like elbows, right, uh, yeah I guess, like going through, like, if you're doing like, aren't you like holding on, like your your arm too, when you're?
Speaker 1:going. Yeah, yeah. Lap dancing also is probably creating a lot of friction points, don't you think?
Speaker 2:I think so. Yeah, I think the whole point of lap dancing is friction. Yeah, I think the whole thing is friction.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah um, and then a stress set routine. You can go home and have a nice little epsom salt bath, you know, and these are all things that are going to make you look good from the inside out, not?
Speaker 2:as much as you're taking a bath. When you pull that plug, you're not going to swirl down with the water. What do you mean? And sometimes like, sometimes like, maybe those are like oh, have I such a terrible day that I just, I just want to, I just want to go in into the drain.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, but you're not going to do that.
Speaker 1:No, why wouldn't they?
Speaker 2:Because they're. Because they're people, they matter Okay.
Speaker 1:I just wanted you to see how far you would go in explaining that I have. I don't care, I'll go as far as I need to go. Good, please do. Um, so, yeah, so, and obviously with any of this stuff, just like anything in the 114 episodes that we've done, whatever it is, it's about consistency with the hygiene, with the routine, with the, with the recovery, with anything you're doing with your skin. You want to. You have to be consistent, or I mean, you can't just do pilates one day and then, you know, expect to be like in good shape.
Speaker 2:That's a weird thing is like sometimes that'll happen where like I will start something, I'll do something and I'll feel good because I'm doing it, but then I'm like yeah, but I don't look any different yeah and then, and then that's when it's like all right, well, never mind, because instead of just continuing it like oh, I feel good and eventually I'll keep feeling better, and then I'll I'm like oh my God, I look different, which I like the way I look, and I feel better.
Speaker 1:It's consistency. You're doing it for your future self.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a good way to put that. It is a good way to put it.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, a little exfoliation, a little body butter, it goes a long way. A little nighttime lotion. So basically, yeah, just treat your skin like it's your job to take care of your, which it is. It's your job to take care of your own body, whether you're stripping, having sex for money or none of those things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or having money for sex. What did those things? Yeah, or having money for sex. What did I say?
Speaker 1:you said sex for money oh yeah, or yeah, we're having money for sex. Yeah, okay, right, yeah, I thought maybe I said it well, you have sex for money yeah but then the people that are spending the money are having money for sex.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's, don't forget, the people that are also spending money for sex have terrible skin and the people that they want to see have all the beautiful skin. Okay, because what they want? Because, like anything else, the ugly people want to see themselves in the beautiful people sexually I was going to say physically physically okay, yeah well, this has been very enlightening thank you.
Speaker 1:I'm glad you learned something you really, really schooled me on this and I really appreciate all the research that you did for this podcast today.
Speaker 2:It's the most I can do yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, that about wraps it up. Thank you so much for um for being the guest to bounce things off of and for um you. I think you got the best topic of the four that we presented.
Speaker 2:It's a very interesting topic and I like, I like, uh, the different topics that you've kind of been choosing from lately. Before they were terrible, but now, but now they're really good. But yeah, no, it's very interesting because, yeah, you would wonder what do they do? For that situation, and usually when you work, you do something that's tailored to what you do. You know, people that, like you know, work in mines. When they come out, they have to clean their face off with a certain thing.
Speaker 2:You know like they don't you have coal in your face?
Speaker 1:Maybe we'll do that episode. Coal miner skincare. Coal miner skincare.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right. And then we'll also talk about the fact that they're using underage labor in coal mines, making them coal miner miners. Oh man, it's not me, it's these are the countries doing it. The regulations are unbelievable. You wouldn't believe the amount of lies.
Speaker 1:That you're telling.
Speaker 2:I'm telling people Okay cool, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, thanks for letting me bounce off these ideas off of you. And then, if you guys, if you ever want to hear a topic on skincare, some aspect of it that we haven't covered, or something that you want to repeat up, because I'm happy to do repeats, because there's some stuff that in the longer podcasts I definitely like, would like to scale down, like some of the skin taping and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Leave it in the comments for us and we will get to it for sure, I, I listen and I I don't listen to them because they don't, they don't talk to me, but I read them all. I read all one of them and uh, yeah, I read every one.
Speaker 2:If you know, they said if you've read one, you read them all. If you read one, that's all of them.
