Episode notes
You may have seen some celebrities or influencers on social media getting something called a Vampire Facial. It’s exactly what it sounds like: blood spread on the face like a cream mask. But why would anyone do this unless it’s supposed to do something for the skin? Dr. Sydnee and Justin draw out where this trend came from and its questionable benefits.
