You're listening to the Beauty Brains Show, where real scientists answer your beauty questions.

And now here's Randy and Perry. Hello and with to the Beauty Brains. I'm your host Perry Romanowski and with me as always

Beauty Brains co-founder and originator of the symbiot Spider-Man costume Randy Schuller.

Hey Randy? Starting off the podcast with the superhero reference, well done.

Hey, actually I saw there were those rumors about them making a venom movie, so that'd be interesting.

Yeah, when I get the check from that I'll let you know.

Indeed, we've got another great show for you today.

If you're tuning in for the first time, this is episode 160.

So feel free to go back and listen to all our previous shows before continuing on.

Should we wait?

Is there that much backstory to catch up on?

Wow. Well, anyway, on today today's show we'll be answering a number of beauty

questions that were sent in from listeners around the world. We'll be covering

whether hair straighteners permanently straighten hair,

if you can believe the ingredient labels on anti-aging products,

whether titanium dioxide is always a sunscreen

and will look at the long-term implications of lip plumpers.

But first a little of that inane chit-chat and that we're so famous for you.

You have any in-name ch chit chat to start us up?

I'm going to pass today because I actually yesterday I had a root canal and I'm a little

off my game when it comes to talking so and please chatter away to your heart's content

Well, you know I thought the audience would want an update on a story we covered earlier in this year
