A
Hi, guys. Welcome back to another week of the podcast. Tyler's taking a pee pee. So I'm kicking us off. I'm reading these comments right now, which is so funny because we did this Arby's thing, which I have had Arby's. I think back in the day, Arby's had these chicken nuggets. Maybe this was Arby's. I might be wrong, but it was chicken. And you could get barbecue sauce or buffalo sauce, and, like, you'd put it in there, and you'd put the cap on it and you'd shake it, and then it'd be like boneless wings. And I remember my mom bringing that to me, like, for school sometimes. But anyways, we did that trend where people are like, our reps bringing us Arby's, and everyone's like, your team is spoiled. And it's. Cause I feed them really good. Like, I train. It's my fault. You know, it's like, you never blame the kid. You blame the parents. So it's me. But now I'm really intrigued to want to try Arby's. I don't think I've had it since I was, like, 7 or 8. And I do remember they have really good curly fries. But today we're gonna do a Q and A, which I'm excited about. And, yeah, little fun life updates for you guys. The house is trucking along. We just approved paint, so they are painting. And then they ordered the wrong tiles for my fountain, like, water fountain structure. And they're like, oh, like, it's going to take eight weeks to get the correct tiles. Like, do you want us to just use these? And I told Tyler, I was like, you need to, like, not be mean, but, like, be assertive. And anyways, they ordered the correct tiles, the ones that it was supposed to be originally. And they're like, actually, we can get them in two weeks. And I'm like, it's just so annoying that you have to, like, I don't. I just don't understand that. Like, I own a business, and if I knew I could, like, do. If someone ordered something from me, okay, And I gave them the wrong thing, and I knew I could get them the right thing in two weeks, but I just tell them eight weeks. I just, like, don't understand how that's ethical or kind at all. And then, like, all of a sudden, eight weeks turns into two weeks when, like, Tyler's like, hey, like, this is not our fault. Like, we picked this tile. You sent us the wrong one. Like, we're on a timeline. Like, give us the correct tile. I started without you. And then all of a sudden, they can get it in two weeks. Like, I just. To me, like, mathematically, that doesn't make sense. Talking about how it's just magical how eight weeks goes to two weeks when you, like, speak up for yourself about the tile that when they sent us the wrong tile.
[02:48]
B
Oh, yeah.
[02:49]
A
And then you got it correct. And then also, no one respects me, I think. Did we talk about this? I don't know if I was talking to my boyfriend about it or a client.
[02:56]
B
I think we talked about it or
[02:57]
A
on the PODC ass, but no one respects me. This is like, ever since I got divorced and had to do all the, like, home stuff myself. Like, no one gives a about me. Like, they don't even text me updates about my home. They text Tyler. I'm not kidding.
[03:13]
B
That is true. And it was the same way before.
[03:16]
A
Yeah, Always. They're like, oh, we're telling Lance, Lance, Lance, Lance. And I was like, lance doesn't give a fuck. Lance is not picking anything. He doesn't care. Like, I'm the one paying for this. I'm the one picking it. Like, I need to be told what's happening with my house. I never did. All right, Q and A time, let's go.
[03:36]
B
Can I use 8% Mandelic with Alpharet and Acne Med and PM, or stick
[03:40]
A
to AM only AM for Mandelic and Alpharette and Acne Med, PM, and then add lip and serum in there for.
[03:49]
B
Do you think some. No, I was gonna ask a dumb question. I'm gonna ask it anyways.
[03:53]
A
Okay.
[03:54]
B
Because that's basically what she's asking. But, like, do you think if someone had, like, severe. Severe inflamed cystic acne, resilient skin, thick skin that would ever work? Or do you think it's because the chemical. But without alpharette, you couldn't. And
[04:12]
A
acne med at night, it's the
[04:14]
B
alpharette that's like, you got.
[04:16]
A
You just don't wanna do the three to burn your fucking skin off. I think we should have an Arby's taste.
[04:24]
B
You want to get Arby's?
[04:26]
A
Yeah.
[04:27]
B
I'm not eating. I'll eat the curly fries, Tyler, they
[04:30]
A
used to have back in the day. Do you remember they used to have. You wouldn't.
[04:34]
C
No, I didn't eat Arby's.
[04:36]
A
Okay. I think we should just, like, don't
[04:40]
C
close the Uber Eats app. Close it. We have Hopdaddy being delivered.
[04:44]
A
I just Feel like I personally.
[04:48]
B
You don't even eat roast. You don't eat beef.
[04:50]
A
Look at that. Does that not look good?
[04:52]
C
No.
[04:54]
A
Is it because you're gay that you don't like roast beef?
[04:56]
B
Well, maybe.
[04:59]
A
Everyone's saying the mozzarella sticks are good. I just think we should just, like, cut it up in portion. Like, just get some for the spa and, like, have everyone just try, like, a little bit. Like, we'll get some mozzarella. Stop it. They have a peach cobbler roll.
[05:16]
B
Okay.
[05:17]
A
They have a pecan chicken salad sandwich.
[05:19]
B
Oh, I thought that was the extent of their menu. I thought they had three roast beef sandwiches and it was done. Actually, it kind of looks like that's what it is.
[05:27]
A
Um, maybe I changed my mind.
[05:29]
C
Yeah.
[05:31]
B
That looks so yummy.
[05:35]
A
I would eat the curly fries.
[05:37]
C
That's what I said. That's exactly what I just said.
[05:40]
A
But people are saying that they're.
[05:42]
B
People love the curly fries. They're like Cajun seasoning.
[05:44]
A
Oh, they have two different fries. Oh, my God. They have hash brown. They have a lot of different.
[05:52]
B
If there's one thing about Savannah Butta, she loves a side. Yeah,
[06:02]
A
I think I changed my mind.
[06:03]
C
Okay, good, good.
[06:04]
B
I'm glad it was a good thought. What was the deodorant you recommend? Donna Caron cashmere fungal acne on body.
[06:19]
A
Ooh. Okay. So idyllic cleanser is a must. Hyacinth active. And then you have got to use the sulfur mask. And then also mandelic. 11% on the body.
[06:32]
B
You know, sometimes I think these companies should sell their back bar sized some of their back bar sized products for consumers.
[06:43]
A
I agree.
[06:44]
B
I think people would pay for them.
[06:45]
A
I agree.
[06:47]
B
Like, because back bar ideal. It comes in a back bar, and it's ginormous. And it would be really.
[06:52]
A
Yeah, I need that for my shower.
[06:54]
B
Yeah.
[06:54]
A
Do you have that for your shower?
[06:56]
B
Mm.
[06:57]
A
Thanks for ordering me one when you ordered yourself one.
[06:59]
B
I didn't order myself one. I didn't order myself one.
[07:02]
A
Who gave it to you?
[07:04]
B
No, I told Alyssa. I was like, do they make a back bar in that?
[07:08]
A
And then do you pay me for it?
[07:10]
B
Yeah, of course.
[07:10]
A
It's okay. You don't have to.
[07:12]
C
No, of course I did.
[07:13]
A
I'm just curious. That's so nice.
[07:16]
B
Cause that's what. Because I got. Cause I always get the back bar size products when Hydrenity sends us products, because I use restorative. Ha. Back bar over my entire body.
[07:25]
A
Oh, so you steal that from Cyrus, because so does he. What do you Mean, Cyrus uses restorative. Ha.
[07:30]
B
But these are our staff orders that we get sent.
[07:32]
A
Oh.
[07:33]
B
Like, you know how they text us and they're like, what does the staff want? And I'm like, I want a back bar.
[07:36]
A
Always make sure you get me a restorative for psy.
[07:38]
B
Okay, well, that's Maria. I just get my order.
[07:41]
A
Okay, you tell T.T.
[07:42]
B
okay, I will, but so I.
[07:45]
A
So I don't even get told about staff orders. I don't even have anything backfiring. I own the thing.
[07:52]
B
I think Maria always gets stuff for you, and then she puts it in the product closet because she knows you're just going to pull from the product closet when you want stuff.
[08:00]
A
Yeah.
[08:01]
B
You know what I mean?
[08:01]
A
That's true. And I usually don't post back bar because then it's like, haha, yeah, look what I have that you can't have.
[08:08]
B
Wait, this is a completely separate question. Someone said, please, what was your favorite? What was your deodorant recommendation? And then this next question is crazier. Says, does Sav use deodorant?
[08:19]
C
And what is our.
[08:20]
A
Does it look like a stinky bitch? Why does everyone want to know what I put on my armpit?
[08:24]
C
It's two separate people. Back to back, does Sam use deodorant?
[08:28]
A
I use deodorant. Is there allegations online that I don't. I don't know. Check the Reddit.
[08:35]
C
And it's funny because that's the one they answered on the store.
[08:40]
A
That's so f. Ing mean. They're mad at me, so I'm gonna use deodorant.
[08:47]
C
That was funny.
[08:50]
B
Oh, my goodness.
[08:51]
A
I don't know, Tyler. All these comments are saying you guys really have to try Arby's.
[08:56]
B
You wouldn't eat Arby's. It's not in your palate.
[09:00]
A
They have chicken. They have chicken.
[09:02]
B
I don't think they're recommending. I don't think they're recomm. Oh, they have like, turkey sliced sandwiches. Or did you just make that up?
[09:12]
A
I can't even imagine being this much of a snobby. We work in the med school industry, okay? We don't eat fast food.
[09:17]
B
What is this?
[09:18]
A
That's like a place to place.
[09:21]
B
Okay, skip it.
[09:23]
A
Yeah.
[09:24]
B
If you could use one product for the rest of your life, what would it be?
[09:29]
A
Probably Alpharette.
[09:31]
B
Yeah, she keeps you looking good.
[09:35]
A
Feeling gorgeous.
[09:40]
B
Hmm. Can you use Alpharet clearing serum and benzoyl peroxide on the same nights or alternating nights? Just talked about that same night. That's Savannah's secret sauce.
[09:52]
A
It is my secret sauce.
[09:55]
B
What kind of litter boxes do you use for your cats?
[09:58]
A
Well, I used to have the litter robot. I fucking hate the litter robot. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen.
[10:04]
B
I've seen TikTok videos where people are
[10:06]
A
like, fuck the litter robot.
[10:08]
C
That's horrible.
[10:09]
A
I just literally use a stainless steel pan so I can scrub the grime and disgustingness off of it.
[10:16]
B
See, I think that's why I wouldn't want a cat.
[10:17]
A
Like, a stainless steel litter box.
[10:19]
B
I think that's, like, a huge reason why I wouldn't want to have a cat. Like, it's annoying to have to bring dogs out, but at least it's out. No, you know what I mean?
[10:28]
A
I think it's great.
[10:29]
B
I think if you upkeep it, it's perfect. When you had a different housemate back in the day
[10:38]
A
who didn't.
[10:39]
B
Yeah. What to use for milia on the chin.
[10:43]
A
Extract it. But peel pads and intensive Alpharette will help.
[10:47]
B
I didn't know that people get milia on the chin.
[10:50]
A
Get them everywhere.
[10:53]
B
Thoughts on the new Omniclear mist from Face Reality versus Hyacinth.
[10:58]
A
Did that already launch?
[11:05]
B
That's launching in a week.
[11:08]
A
I know Hydrenity has special process, and their bottle is a certain way to keep it stable. And I like the way it sprays. I need to be able to see the Face Reality one and see what the spray is like. Cause I really like the fine mist that comes out. That's why I don't love the Tower 28. Cause it's like a. Like a CBD mist and not like. Yeah, like a CBD mist and not. It's like a cum shot instead of like a Six Flags, like, Mr. You know, and I really like this. I feel like it really gets everywhere, like, evenly to be transparent. Especially for a product that, like, you're not rubbing in, like, CBD mist doesn't bother me because I spray it on bare skin and then, like, usually rub it in a bit so it gets everywhere. Or I put, like, a product right after, so it's, like, all moving in my skin. But like, with Hyacinth, it's so great to use, like, over makeup. So you just want to make sure you're really getting, like, a thin, good layer and covering all your bases. So I just kind of. We haven't been sent it yet, right?
[12:00]
B
No. So basically the, like, then it got delayed. So we are gonna be receiving the product right when it launches.
[12:07]
A
But I mean, If I want to see, like, kind of where they're getting it sourced and what bottle it's in, what the nozzle is like. But I do think it's a great, like, affordable option.
[12:20]
B
Tips on moving from a day spa to a med spa.
[12:23]
A
Study a ton. Get a lot of practice outside of work. I was gonna say school. All set of work and just really get close with your reps and get more information and just study a ton so you can feel more educated.
[12:39]
B
Did you. You never worked in a day spa? Straight medical from the beginning.
[12:42]
A
Yeah. What was it? Working at a derm office in school.
[12:47]
B
Best way to clean makeup brushes.
[12:49]
A
I love cleansing gel or the. Oh, my God. Mega purifying cleanser.
[12:53]
C
Oh, yeah.
[12:54]
A
Do you remember?
[12:54]
B
I forgot about that.
[12:55]
A
She smells good too. I love cleansing.
[12:58]
B
Did we still carry it?
[12:59]
A
Mm. Mm. We should bring her back.
[13:01]
B
Is there a reason?
[13:02]
A
I think we just had too many skus.
[13:04]
B
Yeah, we had too many cleansers, and then we had. I mean, because we have barrier balance,
[13:08]
A
and they had the. Their milky cleanser, and so that's what I. Which.
[13:12]
B
Yeah, but I. We love barrier balance, and I feel like they're, like, on par.
[13:18]
A
No, Barrier balance is more like about barrier balance. Mega purifying. It's just different.
[13:24]
B
But. But that one's creamy, right?
[13:26]
A
Well, we also have vitamin C and peptide cleanser. Those are all creamy.
[13:29]
B
That's true. That's true. I've never used either of those.
[13:33]
A
Is it called Mega purifying Cleanser?
[13:35]
B
Mm, I don't know if they renamed it.
[13:38]
A
Oh, yeah. Remember when they did that? Renamed everything. We were all, like, crashing out.
[13:41]
B
Yeah, y' all probably mega.
[13:43]
A
Oh, it's just called Mega cream cleanser now.
[13:45]
C
Oh, now, now. They just proved me right.
[13:51]
A
I loved that thing. Oh, yeah, it was Mega purifying Cleanser.
[13:55]
B
No, it definitely was an ugly name.
[13:57]
A
Mega.
[13:58]
B
Mega.
[13:59]
A
I don't like it.
[14:01]
B
Their name. I don't think they're.
[14:03]
A
They're really good at naming. I would never let them name my child or pet or fish.
[14:07]
B
Love you, John.
[14:08]
A
Horrible names.
[14:10]
B
I tried different gel for my acne, and it ruined my barrier. What can I do?
[14:14]
A
Barrier balance, creamy cleanser, lipid serum, and comfort cream. Well, do restorative. Ha. And then comfort cream in that order.
[14:22]
B
I implore you guys. I don't know how many times Savannah has said this, but I feel like every time we do a Q and A, it's always like, I use Tretin, I use Tretinoin, I use differa, and I use Retin A, and it ruined My barrier. I'm like, if you're asking this question here, I know you've heard us say, please don't do that. What to use if you're on Accutane,
[14:44]
A
I definitely would do Pralune cleanser, CBD mist, and then I would use intense serum lipid, serum, carboxy mousse, and trio, in that order, and then sunscreen.
[14:59]
B
And Epicutus did a clinical study. Right.
[15:02]
A
With it being used with tretinoin to help.
[15:04]
B
Oh, it was Tretinoin, not Accutane. That's what I was asking.
[15:06]
A
That's what I. Tretinoin. And that study was just showing that it makes it more tolerable, less redness and irritation and all those things.
[15:15]
B
Well, someone said, starting my own practice, you're inspirational. Do you have a podcast where you talk about this? Here we are. I did a whole Biorewind cycle last year. Can I do it again?
[15:27]
A
Yeah, you should stay on it. Y' all was judgy and cunty.
[15:31]
C
What?
[15:32]
A
Your face.
[15:32]
C
Why?
[15:33]
A
Cause it was judgy and cunt.
[15:34]
B
Y. Savannah always says that my face can never hide anything.
[15:41]
A
She's like, yeah, you dumb fucking bitch. She didn't know. What if her esthetician didn't tell her? So how you do your dosing with Biorewind? If you can stay on it forever, it's great to stay on it forever.
[15:56]
B
What happened?
[15:58]
A
Nothing. You can stay on it forever. And so you want to do two pills three times a day for a month, and then two pills twice a day for the next month, and then until you die. Two pills a day?
[16:17]
B
Yep.
[16:17]
A
And if you feel like you're getting more glycation or, like, you're just, like, you know, smoking a lot of cigs, drinking a lot of cokes, and doing a lot of sugar, then you could probably, like, try to, like, do a recycle of, like, starting with that, like, three a day. Three times a day, two pills. But you should be fine.
[16:34]
B
Do you still use the Unite 7 seconds detangler, or is there something else you recommend?
[16:41]
A
I love that. I like that one. And I also like the leave in conditioner from scene.
[16:45]
B
Best multivitamin for everyday health and skin.
[16:50]
A
I like the one from Thorn. And we have a Thorn link. They're women's multivitamins. Wonderful.
[16:56]
B
In our link, in our bio, you will find the thornlink. What? Hyaluronic acid serum should I get? Combo skin with texture and pigment.
[17:06]
A
I would do vivid because it has hyaluronic acid in it, and it's a pigment inhibitor.
[17:13]
B
Hmm. Why does Lipid serum go before ondo in a routine because it's thinner.
[17:21]
A
You always want to do thinnest to thickest.
[17:25]
B
Are all percentages of mandelic acid pregnancy safe?
[17:29]
A
Yes, absolutely.
[17:31]
B
TMI in between my boobs stays so sweaty and results in very clogged pores.
[17:37]
A
You need. She needs to do the sheer matte. Sheer matte SPF powder will be so helpful in that area.
[17:46]
B
What would you do for the clogged pores?
[17:50]
A
Sulfur mask and perfect body wash. Sorry, I'm trying to get a nose ring.
[17:59]
B
What?
[18:00]
A
Not like a real nose ring, like one of those, like, anxiety sniffers.
[18:04]
B
Oh, okay.
[18:05]
C
I was like, girl, we worked so hard to close those holes. Please do. Not funny.
[18:13]
B
Will you purge using the mandelic scrub used on my BF and he got some acne on his back.
[18:20]
A
The mandelic scrub?
[18:22]
B
Yeah.
[18:22]
A
I mean, you could with any active.
[18:25]
B
Please help me. I'm struggling with tmj Botox.
[18:29]
A
Babe, there's nothing you can do but botox.
[18:33]
B
And from the right person. If you listened last week.
[18:36]
C
Mm.
[18:38]
B
Is hydro C as good as using vitamin C and a moisturizer separately?
[18:42]
A
Yes. Is it as good?
[18:44]
B
That's what nay asked.
[18:46]
A
No, but it's not gonna. Like, it's better than nothing.
[18:50]
B
That is true. If you're on a budget, it's a good way to get your antioxidant and moisturizer in one. But it's not gonna. It doesn't have 20 antioxidants like alto advance does and like, protect you from the free radicals that your body produces itself. How do you know what kind of acne you have? I'm so lost with what to get.
[19:15]
A
So if it's red, pusy and inflamed, it's inflamed acne. If it's more like bumps, little blackheads or whiteheads, more pebbly, bumpy texture, then it's non inflamed. If you have a combination, it's both. Honestly, the best thing you can do is lipid serum with ondue and then follow with your favorite moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning and then at nighttime, lipid serum alpharette acne med 2.5. Like, that's like key.
[19:44]
B
It'll cover them all. Do you like laser hair reduction or waxing for Brazilian?
[19:50]
A
I've have trauma with waxing from aesthetic school.
[19:53]
B
I have trauma with waxing from my own ass.
[19:55]
A
Yeah, you should talk to me about that. But you didn't, so I don't feel bad for you anyway, and so I was so. I Just do laser. But I just feel like it only lasts me, like, a year and a half, and then I have to, like, redo the cycle again. I'm not, like, the biggest fan of laser hair removal. I just feel like it doesn't.
[20:12]
B
Have you seen that thing? What's it called? Like, electrolysis or whatever, where they go,
[20:16]
A
yeah, that fucking hurts.
[20:17]
B
But yeah, individual pore.
[20:19]
A
Yeah, it really fucking hurts.
[20:22]
B
Oh. Did you stop using Trio from Skinbetter?
[20:27]
A
No, no, no. I use that every day.
[20:31]
B
Best mask to use after sleeping with your makeup on.
[20:35]
A
Hiding emoji Oxygen deep pore mask mixed with detoxifying scrub mask faux show.
[20:43]
B
Somebody said lines Epicutus or lines. Lipid serum Ondo. Even intensive Maestro. What order? Lipid serum lines. No lipid serum Ondo lines. Even intensive Maestro. Lipid serum Ondo lines. Lipid serum Ondo lines. No lipid serum lines Ondo.
[21:03]
A
Yeah.
[21:04]
B
Even intensive Maestro.
[21:05]
A
Yes, absolutely.
[21:08]
B
Purging. After a few weeks of Alpharet clearing serum. How long can it last?
[21:15]
A
Three months at the most, 12 weeks. The acne takes about 30 to 90 days to form, so you should start to see it clear up around three months.
[21:24]
B
One more question for this episode. Mainly chin acne, red inflamed. What do I use? Thinking plated and lipid.
[21:35]
A
Yes. Red inflamed chin acne calm instead of intense. From plated and then lipid serum acne med 2.5 carboxy mousse sulfur mask. Babe. Three times a week and a spot treat.
[21:51]
B
That's actually one of my favorite products right now, so. But we're gonna have a part 2 of this Q A on the next episode, so we will see you then. Happy Monday. We love you guys.

A
Hi, guys. Welcome back to another week of the podcast. Tyler's taking a pee pee. So I'm kicking us off. I'm reading these comments right now, which is so funny because we did this Arby's thing, which I have had Arby's. I think back in the day, Arby's had these chicken nuggets. Maybe this was Arby's. I might be wrong, but it was chicken. And you could get barbecue sauce or buffalo sauce, and, like, you'd put it in there, and you'd put the cap on it and you'd shake it, and then it'd be like boneless wings. And I remember my mom bringing that to me, like, for school sometimes. But anyways, we did that trend where people are like, our reps bringing us Arby's, and everyone's like, your team is spoiled. And it's. Cause I feed them really good. Like, I train. It's my fault. You know, it's like, you never blame the kid. You blame the parents. So it's me. But now I'm really intrigued to want to try Arby's. I don't think I've had it since I was, like, 7 or 8. And I do remember they have really good curly fries. But today we're gonna do a Q and A, which I'm excited about. And, yeah, little fun life updates for you guys. The house is trucking along. We just approved paint, so they are painting. And then they ordered the wrong tiles for my fountain, like, water fountain structure. And they're like, oh, like, it's going to take eight weeks to get the correct tiles. Like, do you want us to just use these? And I told Tyler, I was like, you need to, like, not be mean, but, like, be assertive. And anyways, they ordered the correct tiles, the ones that it was supposed to be originally. And they're like, actually, we can get them in two weeks. And I'm like, it's just so annoying that you have to, like, I don't. I just don't understand that. Like, I own a business, and if I knew I could, like, do. If someone ordered something from me, okay, And I gave them the wrong thing, and I knew I could get them the right thing in two weeks, but I just tell them eight weeks. I just, like, don't understand how that's ethical or kind at all. And then, like, all of a sudden, eight weeks turns into two weeks when, like, Tyler's like, hey, like, this is not our fault. Like, we picked this tile. You sent us the wrong one. Like, we're on a timeline. Like, give us the correct tile. I started without you. And then all of a sudden, they can get it in two weeks. Like, I just. To me, like, mathematically, that doesn't make sense. Talking about how it's just magical how eight weeks goes to two weeks when you, like, speak up for yourself about the tile that when they sent us the wrong tile.
[02:48]
B
Oh, yeah.
[02:49]
A
And then you got it correct. And then also, no one respects me, I think. Did we talk about this? I don't know if I was talking to my boyfriend about it or a client.
[02:56]
B
I think we talked about it or
[02:57]
A
on the PODC ass, but no one respects me. This is like, ever since I got divorced and had to do all the, like, home stuff myself. Like, no one gives a about me. Like, they don't even text me updates about my home. They text Tyler. I'm not kidding.
[03:13]
B
That is true. And it was the same way before.
[03:16]
A
Yeah, Always. They're like, oh, we're telling Lance, Lance, Lance, Lance. And I was like, lance doesn't give a fuck. Lance is not picking anything. He doesn't care. Like, I'm the one paying for this. I'm the one picking it. Like, I need to be told what's happening with my house. I never did. All right, Q and A time, let's go.
[03:36]
B
Can I use 8% Mandelic with Alpharet and Acne Med and PM, or stick
[03:40]
A
to AM only AM for Mandelic and Alpharette and Acne Med, PM, and then add lip and serum in there for.
[03:49]
B
Do you think some. No, I was gonna ask a dumb question. I'm gonna ask it anyways.
[03:53]
A
Okay.
[03:54]
B
Because that's basically what she's asking. But, like, do you think if someone had, like, severe. Severe inflamed cystic acne, resilient skin, thick skin that would ever work? Or do you think it's because the chemical. But without alpharette, you couldn't. And
[04:12]
A
acne med at night, it's the
[04:14]
B
alpharette that's like, you got.
[04:16]
A
You just don't wanna do the three to burn your fucking skin off. I think we should have an Arby's taste.
[04:24]
B
You want to get Arby's?
[04:26]
A
Yeah.
[04:27]
B
I'm not eating. I'll eat the curly fries, Tyler, they
[04:30]
A
used to have back in the day. Do you remember they used to have. You wouldn't.
[04:34]
C
No, I didn't eat Arby's.
[04:36]
A
Okay. I think we should just, like, don't
[04:40]
C
close the Uber Eats app. Close it. We have Hopdaddy being delivered.
[04:44]
A
I just Feel like I personally.
[04:48]
B
You don't even eat roast. You don't eat beef.
[04:50]
A
Look at that. Does that not look good?
[04:52]
C
No.
[04:54]
A
Is it because you're gay that you don't like roast beef?
[04:56]
B
Well, maybe.
[04:59]
A
Everyone's saying the mozzarella sticks are good. I just think we should just, like, cut it up in portion. Like, just get some for the spa and, like, have everyone just try, like, a little bit. Like, we'll get some mozzarella. Stop it. They have a peach cobbler roll.
[05:16]
B
Okay.
[05:17]
A
They have a pecan chicken salad sandwich.
[05:19]
B
Oh, I thought that was the extent of their menu. I thought they had three roast beef sandwiches and it was done. Actually, it kind of looks like that's what it is.
[05:27]
A
Um, maybe I changed my mind.
[05:29]
C
Yeah.
[05:31]
B
That looks so yummy.
[05:35]
A
I would eat the curly fries.
[05:37]
C
That's what I said. That's exactly what I just said.
[05:40]
A
But people are saying that they're.
[05:42]
B
People love the curly fries. They're like Cajun seasoning.
[05:44]
A
Oh, they have two different fries. Oh, my God. They have hash brown. They have a lot of different.
[05:52]
B
If there's one thing about Savannah Butta, she loves a side. Yeah,
[06:02]
A
I think I changed my mind.
[06:03]
C
Okay, good, good.
[06:04]
B
I'm glad it was a good thought. What was the deodorant you recommend? Donna Caron cashmere fungal acne on body.
[06:19]
A
Ooh. Okay. So idyllic cleanser is a must. Hyacinth active. And then you have got to use the sulfur mask. And then also mandelic. 11% on the body.
[06:32]
B
You know, sometimes I think these companies should sell their back bar sized some of their back bar sized products for consumers.
[06:43]
A
I agree.
[06:44]
B
I think people would pay for them.
[06:45]
A
I agree.
[06:47]
B
Like, because back bar ideal. It comes in a back bar, and it's ginormous. And it would be really.
[06:52]
A
Yeah, I need that for my shower.
[06:54]
B
Yeah.
[06:54]
A
Do you have that for your shower?
[06:56]
B
Mm.
[06:57]
A
Thanks for ordering me one when you ordered yourself one.
[06:59]
B
I didn't order myself one. I didn't order myself one.
[07:02]
A
Who gave it to you?
[07:04]
B
No, I told Alyssa. I was like, do they make a back bar in that?
[07:08]
A
And then do you pay me for it?
[07:10]
B
Yeah, of course.
[07:10]
A
It's okay. You don't have to.
[07:12]
C
No, of course I did.
[07:13]
A
I'm just curious. That's so nice.
[07:16]
B
Cause that's what. Because I got. Cause I always get the back bar size products when Hydrenity sends us products, because I use restorative. Ha. Back bar over my entire body.
[07:25]
A
Oh, so you steal that from Cyrus, because so does he. What do you Mean, Cyrus uses restorative. Ha.
[07:30]
B
But these are our staff orders that we get sent.
[07:32]
A
Oh.
[07:33]
B
Like, you know how they text us and they're like, what does the staff want? And I'm like, I want a back bar.
[07:36]
A
Always make sure you get me a restorative for psy.
[07:38]
B
Okay, well, that's Maria. I just get my order.
[07:41]
A
Okay, you tell T.T.
[07:42]
B
okay, I will, but so I.
[07:45]
A
So I don't even get told about staff orders. I don't even have anything backfiring. I own the thing.
[07:52]
B
I think Maria always gets stuff for you, and then she puts it in the product closet because she knows you're just going to pull from the product closet when you want stuff.
[08:00]
A
Yeah.
[08:01]
B
You know what I mean?
[08:01]
A
That's true. And I usually don't post back bar because then it's like, haha, yeah, look what I have that you can't have.
[08:08]
B
Wait, this is a completely separate question. Someone said, please, what was your favorite? What was your deodorant recommendation? And then this next question is crazier. Says, does Sav use deodorant?
[08:19]
C
And what is our.
[08:20]
A
Does it look like a stinky bitch? Why does everyone want to know what I put on my armpit?
[08:24]
C
It's two separate people. Back to back, does Sam use deodorant?
[08:28]
A
I use deodorant. Is there allegations online that I don't. I don't know. Check the Reddit.
[08:35]
C
And it's funny because that's the one they answered on the store.
[08:40]
A
That's so f. Ing mean. They're mad at me, so I'm gonna use deodorant.
[08:47]
C
That was funny.
[08:50]
B
Oh, my goodness.
[08:51]
A
I don't know, Tyler. All these comments are saying you guys really have to try Arby's.
[08:56]
B
You wouldn't eat Arby's. It's not in your palate.
[09:00]
A
They have chicken. They have chicken.
[09:02]
B
I don't think they're recommending. I don't think they're recomm. Oh, they have like, turkey sliced sandwiches. Or did you just make that up?
[09:12]
A
I can't even imagine being this much of a snobby. We work in the med school industry, okay? We don't eat fast food.
[09:17]
B
What is this?
[09:18]
A
That's like a place to place.
[09:21]
B
Okay, skip it.
[09:23]
A
Yeah.
[09:24]
B
If you could use one product for the rest of your life, what would it be?
[09:29]
A
Probably Alpharette.
[09:31]
B
Yeah, she keeps you looking good.
[09:35]
A
Feeling gorgeous.
[09:40]
B
Hmm. Can you use Alpharet clearing serum and benzoyl peroxide on the same nights or alternating nights? Just talked about that same night. That's Savannah's secret sauce.
[09:52]
A
It is my secret sauce.
[09:55]
B
What kind of litter boxes do you use for your cats?
[09:58]
A
Well, I used to have the litter robot. I fucking hate the litter robot. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen.
[10:04]
B
I've seen TikTok videos where people are
[10:06]
A
like, fuck the litter robot.
[10:08]
C
That's horrible.
[10:09]
A
I just literally use a stainless steel pan so I can scrub the grime and disgustingness off of it.
[10:16]
B
See, I think that's why I wouldn't want a cat.
[10:17]
A
Like, a stainless steel litter box.
[10:19]
B
I think that's, like, a huge reason why I wouldn't want to have a cat. Like, it's annoying to have to bring dogs out, but at least it's out. No, you know what I mean?
[10:28]
A
I think it's great.
[10:29]
B
I think if you upkeep it, it's perfect. When you had a different housemate back in the day
[10:38]
A
who didn't.
[10:39]
B
Yeah. What to use for milia on the chin.
[10:43]
A
Extract it. But peel pads and intensive Alpharette will help.
[10:47]
B
I didn't know that people get milia on the chin.
[10:50]
A
Get them everywhere.
[10:53]
B
Thoughts on the new Omniclear mist from Face Reality versus Hyacinth.
[10:58]
A
Did that already launch?
[11:05]
B
That's launching in a week.
[11:08]
A
I know Hydrenity has special process, and their bottle is a certain way to keep it stable. And I like the way it sprays. I need to be able to see the Face Reality one and see what the spray is like. Cause I really like the fine mist that comes out. That's why I don't love the Tower 28. Cause it's like a. Like a CBD mist and not like. Yeah, like a CBD mist and not. It's like a cum shot instead of like a Six Flags, like, Mr. You know, and I really like this. I feel like it really gets everywhere, like, evenly to be transparent. Especially for a product that, like, you're not rubbing in, like, CBD mist doesn't bother me because I spray it on bare skin and then, like, usually rub it in a bit so it gets everywhere. Or I put, like, a product right after, so it's, like, all moving in my skin. But like, with Hyacinth, it's so great to use, like, over makeup. So you just want to make sure you're really getting, like, a thin, good layer and covering all your bases. So I just kind of. We haven't been sent it yet, right?
[12:00]
B
No. So basically the, like, then it got delayed. So we are gonna be receiving the product right when it launches.
[12:07]
A
But I mean, If I want to see, like, kind of where they're getting it sourced and what bottle it's in, what the nozzle is like. But I do think it's a great, like, affordable option.
[12:20]
B
Tips on moving from a day spa to a med spa.
[12:23]
A
Study a ton. Get a lot of practice outside of work. I was gonna say school. All set of work and just really get close with your reps and get more information and just study a ton so you can feel more educated.
[12:39]
B
Did you. You never worked in a day spa? Straight medical from the beginning.
[12:42]
A
Yeah. What was it? Working at a derm office in school.
[12:47]
B
Best way to clean makeup brushes.
[12:49]
A
I love cleansing gel or the. Oh, my God. Mega purifying cleanser.
[12:53]
C
Oh, yeah.
[12:54]
A
Do you remember?
[12:54]
B
I forgot about that.
[12:55]
A
She smells good too. I love cleansing.
[12:58]
B
Did we still carry it?
[12:59]
A
Mm. Mm. We should bring her back.
[13:01]
B
Is there a reason?
[13:02]
A
I think we just had too many skus.
[13:04]
B
Yeah, we had too many cleansers, and then we had. I mean, because we have barrier balance,
[13:08]
A
and they had the. Their milky cleanser, and so that's what I. Which.
[13:12]
B
Yeah, but I. We love barrier balance, and I feel like they're, like, on par.
[13:18]
A
No, Barrier balance is more like about barrier balance. Mega purifying. It's just different.
[13:24]
B
But. But that one's creamy, right?
[13:26]
A
Well, we also have vitamin C and peptide cleanser. Those are all creamy.
[13:29]
B
That's true. That's true. I've never used either of those.
[13:33]
A
Is it called Mega purifying Cleanser?
[13:35]
B
Mm, I don't know if they renamed it.
[13:38]
A
Oh, yeah. Remember when they did that? Renamed everything. We were all, like, crashing out.
[13:41]
B
Yeah, y' all probably mega.
[13:43]
A
Oh, it's just called Mega cream cleanser now.
[13:45]
C
Oh, now, now. They just proved me right.
[13:51]
A
I loved that thing. Oh, yeah, it was Mega purifying Cleanser.
[13:55]
B
No, it definitely was an ugly name.
[13:57]
A
Mega.
[13:58]
B
Mega.
[13:59]
A
I don't like it.
[14:01]
B
Their name. I don't think they're.
[14:03]
A
They're really good at naming. I would never let them name my child or pet or fish.
[14:07]
B
Love you, John.
[14:08]
A
Horrible names.
[14:10]
B
I tried different gel for my acne, and it ruined my barrier. What can I do?
[14:14]
A
Barrier balance, creamy cleanser, lipid serum, and comfort cream. Well, do restorative. Ha. And then comfort cream in that order.
[14:22]
B
I implore you guys. I don't know how many times Savannah has said this, but I feel like every time we do a Q and A, it's always like, I use Tretin, I use Tretinoin, I use differa, and I use Retin A, and it ruined My barrier. I'm like, if you're asking this question here, I know you've heard us say, please don't do that. What to use if you're on Accutane,
[14:44]
A
I definitely would do Pralune cleanser, CBD mist, and then I would use intense serum lipid, serum, carboxy mousse, and trio, in that order, and then sunscreen.
[14:59]
B
And Epicutus did a clinical study. Right.
[15:02]
A
With it being used with tretinoin to help.
[15:04]
B
Oh, it was Tretinoin, not Accutane. That's what I was asking.
[15:06]
A
That's what I. Tretinoin. And that study was just showing that it makes it more tolerable, less redness and irritation and all those things.
[15:15]
B
Well, someone said, starting my own practice, you're inspirational. Do you have a podcast where you talk about this? Here we are. I did a whole Biorewind cycle last year. Can I do it again?
[15:27]
A
Yeah, you should stay on it. Y' all was judgy and cunty.
[15:31]
C
What?
[15:32]
A
Your face.
[15:32]
C
Why?
[15:33]
A
Cause it was judgy and cunt.
[15:34]
B
Y. Savannah always says that my face can never hide anything.
[15:41]
A
She's like, yeah, you dumb fucking bitch. She didn't know. What if her esthetician didn't tell her? So how you do your dosing with Biorewind? If you can stay on it forever, it's great to stay on it forever.
[15:56]
B
What happened?
[15:58]
A
Nothing. You can stay on it forever. And so you want to do two pills three times a day for a month, and then two pills twice a day for the next month, and then until you die. Two pills a day?
[16:17]
B
Yep.
[16:17]
A
And if you feel like you're getting more glycation or, like, you're just, like, you know, smoking a lot of cigs, drinking a lot of cokes, and doing a lot of sugar, then you could probably, like, try to, like, do a recycle of, like, starting with that, like, three a day. Three times a day, two pills. But you should be fine.
[16:34]
B
Do you still use the Unite 7 seconds detangler, or is there something else you recommend?
[16:41]
A
I love that. I like that one. And I also like the leave in conditioner from scene.
[16:45]
B
Best multivitamin for everyday health and skin.
[16:50]
A
I like the one from Thorn. And we have a Thorn link. They're women's multivitamins. Wonderful.
[16:56]
B
In our link, in our bio, you will find the thornlink. What? Hyaluronic acid serum should I get? Combo skin with texture and pigment.
[17:06]
A
I would do vivid because it has hyaluronic acid in it, and it's a pigment inhibitor.
[17:13]
B
Hmm. Why does Lipid serum go before ondo in a routine because it's thinner.
[17:21]
A
You always want to do thinnest to thickest.
[17:25]
B
Are all percentages of mandelic acid pregnancy safe?
[17:29]
A
Yes, absolutely.
[17:31]
B
TMI in between my boobs stays so sweaty and results in very clogged pores.
[17:37]
A
You need. She needs to do the sheer matte. Sheer matte SPF powder will be so helpful in that area.
[17:46]
B
What would you do for the clogged pores?
[17:50]
A
Sulfur mask and perfect body wash. Sorry, I'm trying to get a nose ring.
[17:59]
B
What?
[18:00]
A
Not like a real nose ring, like one of those, like, anxiety sniffers.
[18:04]
B
Oh, okay.
[18:05]
C
I was like, girl, we worked so hard to close those holes. Please do. Not funny.
[18:13]
B
Will you purge using the mandelic scrub used on my BF and he got some acne on his back.
[18:20]
A
The mandelic scrub?
[18:22]
B
Yeah.
[18:22]
A
I mean, you could with any active.
[18:25]
B
Please help me. I'm struggling with tmj Botox.
[18:29]
A
Babe, there's nothing you can do but botox.
[18:33]
B
And from the right person. If you listened last week.
[18:36]
C
Mm.
[18:38]
B
Is hydro C as good as using vitamin C and a moisturizer separately?
[18:42]
A
Yes. Is it as good?
[18:44]
B
That's what nay asked.
[18:46]
A
No, but it's not gonna. Like, it's better than nothing.
[18:50]
B
That is true. If you're on a budget, it's a good way to get your antioxidant and moisturizer in one. But it's not gonna. It doesn't have 20 antioxidants like alto advance does and like, protect you from the free radicals that your body produces itself. How do you know what kind of acne you have? I'm so lost with what to get.
[19:15]
A
So if it's red, pusy and inflamed, it's inflamed acne. If it's more like bumps, little blackheads or whiteheads, more pebbly, bumpy texture, then it's non inflamed. If you have a combination, it's both. Honestly, the best thing you can do is lipid serum with ondue and then follow with your favorite moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning and then at nighttime, lipid serum alpharette acne med 2.5. Like, that's like key.
[19:44]
B
It'll cover them all. Do you like laser hair reduction or waxing for Brazilian?
[19:50]
A
I've have trauma with waxing from aesthetic school.
[19:53]
B
I have trauma with waxing from my own ass.
[19:55]
A
Yeah, you should talk to me about that. But you didn't, so I don't feel bad for you anyway, and so I was so. I Just do laser. But I just feel like it only lasts me, like, a year and a half, and then I have to, like, redo the cycle again. I'm not, like, the biggest fan of laser hair removal. I just feel like it doesn't.
[20:12]
B
Have you seen that thing? What's it called? Like, electrolysis or whatever, where they go,
[20:16]
A
yeah, that fucking hurts.
[20:17]
B
But yeah, individual pore.
[20:19]
A
Yeah, it really fucking hurts.
[20:22]
B
Oh. Did you stop using Trio from Skinbetter?
[20:27]
A
No, no, no. I use that every day.
[20:31]
B
Best mask to use after sleeping with your makeup on.
[20:35]
A
Hiding emoji Oxygen deep pore mask mixed with detoxifying scrub mask faux show.
[20:43]
B
Somebody said lines Epicutus or lines. Lipid serum Ondo. Even intensive Maestro. What order? Lipid serum lines. No lipid serum Ondo lines. Even intensive Maestro. Lipid serum Ondo lines. Lipid serum Ondo lines. No lipid serum lines Ondo.
[21:03]
A
Yeah.
[21:04]
B
Even intensive Maestro.
[21:05]
A
Yes, absolutely.
[21:08]
B
Purging. After a few weeks of Alpharet clearing serum. How long can it last?
[21:15]
A
Three months at the most, 12 weeks. The acne takes about 30 to 90 days to form, so you should start to see it clear up around three months.
[21:24]
B
One more question for this episode. Mainly chin acne, red inflamed. What do I use? Thinking plated and lipid.
[21:35]
A
Yes. Red inflamed chin acne calm instead of intense. From plated and then lipid serum acne med 2.5 carboxy mousse sulfur mask. Babe. Three times a week and a spot treat.
[21:51]
B

[22:02]
A
