Last year, I was working on this story about how actors are abstaining from getting plastic surgery or even just injectables, whether it's Botox or filler, because they are in a period piece.

And someone from the 1800s would not have filled lips, would not have that keyhole look, would not maybe have those high cheekbones.

Spooky.

Yes.

And Amanda Seyfried, who was on our cover, actually spoke about it for The Testament of Anne Lee in an interview.

That was sort of the hook.

It was really interesting.

And I was talking to my partner.

She said she didn't get Botox.

She said she did not get anything for a full year before they started filming because she needed to emote.

And, you know, this person would have wrinkles in the, you know, in the shaker community.

And so I was asking my partner who is sort of pop culture obtuse.

And he told me that he thinks the reason that like I don't look in a 2000s face, an Instagram face, a modern face is because I have all this buckle fat.

Oh, interesting.

And that sort of is the hallmark of our modern age is like a really hollowed face and cheekbone is one of them.

Mm-hmm.

So this massage helps minimize... It can help with lymphatic drainage.

So if you're feeling a little puffy, it can also help with stretching the muscles.

So I've been on this very, very long-winded attempt to stop clenching my jaw.

I do it at work.
