Dubbed the "Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap", the Los Angeles-based shapewear brand's first-ever face device comes in two shades -- a lighter Clay and darker Cocoa -- and is made with "signature sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support," much its cult-followed shapewear for the body. "You know we've been doing shapewear for a really long time,"and now we're going to offer really amazing face shapewear, which is such a necessity," said Kardashian in a video on Instagram. For ease and support, the facial shapewear has a Velcro closure at the top of the head and the nape of the neck, with two openings at the ears. "It just snatches your little chinny chin chin with the jaw, and it's super comfortable to wear at night or just around the house," continued the entrepreneur, when talking about her new face shapewear. Much like Skims' unveiling of it now infamous nipple bra, a bra with built-in nipples to give the visual illusion of not wearing a bra at all, internet reactions to the new face shapewear online have been mixed, with some equating it to post-op bandages used to aid recovery after plastic surgery.

Kim Kardashian's Skims Face Shapewear Backlash
Ever since it launched in 2019, Kim Kardashian's brand Skims has sold all sorts of shapewear — including bodysuits, waist trainers, and more. And now, the billion-dollar company is selling shapewear for faces, too. Going for $48, the 'Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap' — which comes in two shades, 'Clay' or 'Cocoa' — is marketed on the Skims website as a 'must-have face wrap' that is suitable for 'easy, everyday wear.' 'Our first-ever face innovation is here. This must-have face wrap boasts our signature sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support. Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear,' the description reads. Discussing the product further on Instagram, Kim described the face wrap as 'a necessity.' She said in a video, 'OK guys, so you know we've been doing shapewear for a really long time, and now we are gonna offer amazing face shapewear, which is just such a necessity. This material is actually infused with collagen yarns, and it's just this amazing jaw support.' Reacting to the new product, several internet users were not at all impressed and accused Kim of profiting from women's insecurities. 'Gotta give Kim credit, she's always at the forefront of identifying new things for women to be insecure about and profiting off them,' one Reddit user said, while another wrote, 'Why the hell does everything about a woman need to be 'fixed' holy hell.' 'SKIMS : Making women feel bad about themselves since 2018,' one Instagram user commented. Someone else wrote, 'State of the world in shambles, people dying … Kim: New Hannibal Lector Nylon face wrap just dropped!!!' 'Another thing to make women feel insecure! Ladies we don't need it!!!!!!!!' another comment read. 'Does anyone else think this is too much and raises beauty standards?' someone else questioned. Well then.

Florida students go back to school in less than a month. Is social media banned for minors?
The summer season is rapidly coming to a close for Florida's students. The 2025-2026 school year begins on Aug. 11 for most of Florida's counties; will social media be a part of it? Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 3 into law last year, barring minors under 16 from social media platforms, unless they're 14- or 15-year-olds who get a parent's permission. Is that law actually in effect now? When does school start in Florida 2025? See county-by-county list What is the new social media law in Florida? Math and Science coach Kristi Shorts watches students use the 3D doodler. On Friday morning Endeavour Elementary in Cocoa unveiled their new innovative STEM classroom equipped with 3D printers, iPads, microscopes and STEM tools. The school was one of only five Florida schools to win FPL's $50,000 STEM Classroom Makeover Grant for the 2023-24 school year. House Bill 3, also known as the "Online Protections for Minors" bill, sought to prohibit Floridians under the age of 14 from having a social media account. Social media platforms would have been required to terminate any accounts suspected of belonging to someone under 14, giving account owners 90 days to dispute it. Anyone 14 or 15 years old whose account is targeted would have 90 days to provide consent from a parent or guardian. The law would add hefty fines and civil liabilities for any social media sites that knowingly violate the law. The law also required any website with "materials harmful to minors," such as sexual content, that is visible in Florida to add age verification to prevent access by anyone under 18 years old. Again, hefty fines will be levied against sites that do not comply. Adult megasite PornHub blocked all Florida users on Jan. 1 of this year. When does Florida social media law go into effect? Will it impact students during the 2025-2026 school year? As of July 2025, this will not be the case. The law, passed in 2024, was scheduled to take effect on January 1 of this year; however, the state attorney general's office agreed not to enforce it until the judge ruled on a request for a preliminary injunction. Such orders are issued early in a lawsuit to temporarily halt an action, such as enforcement of a law, until the case is fully decided. Where is HB 3 at now? Judge blocks part of law On June 3, Chief U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker temporarily blocked part of the law, finding it "likely unconstitutional." Walker said he recognized First Amendment protections to prevent the state from "substantially burdening speech unless (it) can show that doing so is necessary to achieve its significant interests." NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association — trade associations representing social media platforms like Meta, Google, YouTube and Snapchat — first filed suit against the law in October, citing First Amendment concerns. The judge's 58-page order only blocks the portion of the state law that the associations that filed the lawsuit are focused on. It prohibits anyone under 16 from using some social media platforms, excluding 14- and 15-year-olds who obtain their parents' permission. Walker also wrote that he "does not doubt that parents and legislators in the state have sincere concerns about the effects that social media use may have on youth, nor does it render parents or the state powerless to address those concerns." TikTok already banned on school-issued devices in Florida Florida students are already unable to access the popular video-sharing app, TikTok, on specific devices. DeSantis signed HB 379 in 2023 to prohibit students and teachers from using TikTok on district-owned devices in public schools, as well as block anyone from using the app as a means of promoting school activities.
