395. How to Wear Makeup With Acne or Eczema With Madeleine Edwards

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 01:36:16 +0000

Mel and Hannah are back with another jam-packed episode of Adore Beauty Uncensored, covering hair treatments, sensitive-skin makeup tricks and a fresh SPF moisturiser worth taking a second look at. Mel kicks things off with her experience trying Kerasilk’s in-salon keratin smoothing treatment, and let’s just say, it’s a far cry from the hectic, stinky formulas she remembers from her teen years. She shares what the modern treatment is like, how her hair felt afterwards, and whether the results are worth the salon chair time. Later, Madeleine Edwards joins the show to share her expert advice on how to wear makeup when you have acne or eczema. She explains how to apply makeup without aggravating breakouts or irritation, the techniques she uses when her skin is inflamed, and the products she personally relies on. Plus, Hannah's been road-testing the new Clinique moisturiser with SPF 50+ coverage, and she’s a big fan. But does it play nicely under makeup? Is it lightweight enough for daily wear? She’s got the answers. Thank you to Madeleine Edwards for joining us!

394. When Will Women’s Health Be Taken Seriously? With Angie Kent

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Mel kicks things off on Uncensored this week with the oddly specific (and kind of unhinged) massages she wishes existed. Then, in Cringey Convo, the new mum chat continues with a very honest look at postpartum lochia. Don’t know what that is? It’s a lot, is what it is. We chat about what it’s actually like, what caught us off guard, and why it’s still not talked about enough. Then we’re joined by everyone’s favourite Bachelorette and GoggleBox star, Angie Kent, who shares her experience living with endometriosis, from the challenges of getting a diagnosis to what it’s like trying to be taken seriously within the Australian medical system as a woman. Plus, if your makeup routine needs to be quick, easy and legit impossible to mess up, we’re breaking down truly foolproof products and techniques we’ve found recently for effortless everyday makeup. Thanks to Angie Kent for joining us!

If you’re wondering exactly how the Victoria's Secret angels achieved their signature glow on the runway, Miranda’s got the answer. Spoiler: it’s just one product (and it’s in stock at Adore right now 👀).

Plus, what do Sadaf and Katy Perry have in common? They’re both obsessed with the KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Moisturizer, and for good reason.

392. The Easiest Men’s Skincare Routine Ever & Dealing With Postpartum Hair Loss

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 01:44:17 +0000

Where do you start when building a men’s skincare routine? Are lip tattoos actually worth the hype? And what can new mums do about postpartum hair loss? This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are covering practical beauty advice for real life, from on-the-go essentials to the hair changes that can happen after having a baby. First up, if you’ve ever realised you forgot deodorant, lip balm or a hair tie right when you needed it most, you’re probably not Tegan, who runs us through her extensive 'car beauty must-haves'. Then, for Win, Bin, Recycle, it’s all about cosmetic lip tattoos. They’re back and all over social media, promising long-lasting colour without the constant reapplication. Do they actually work? We break down how lip tattoo products work, who they’re best suited for and whether they’re a beauty hack worth trying – or one to skip. Then, it’s a men’s intervention. If you’ve got a guy in your life (or you’re a male listener keen for a skincare refresh), we’ve got you covered. Tegan and Sadaf run through a straightforward men’s grooming routine, covering the essential products that make the biggest difference, from cleanser and moisturiser to shaving essentials and SPF. There are plenty of product recs in the mix, too! Then on Adore Anon, this week’s listener question comes from a new mum experiencing postpartum hair shedding. We explain why it happens, how long it typically lasts, and share haircare tips and product recommendations that can help support your hair through the annoying regrowth phase.

391. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Exact Beauty Routine

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 02:10:29 +0000

Like every other person on the planet right now, Mel is obsessed with figuring out the exact beauty products Carolyn Bessette Kennedy used, and with the help of Yads Cauchi, she might have done it. But first, Mel tells Hannah about the rise of 'lunchtime boob jobs' in New York – a cosmetic procedure designed to be quick enough to fit into a lunch break. Then, Hannah shares some of her increasingly chaotic late-night ChatGPT searches. Friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi then joins Mel for a long discussion about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s beauty routine, from the products she used that you can still buy (including that famous berry lipstick) to the skincare brands she’d probably love today. Finally, Mel tries the viral VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot live on the podcast. If you’ve seen this trending skincare treatment all over TikTok and wondered what it actually feels like on the skin, this on-air test might give you the answer. Thank you to Yads Cauchi for joining us!

390. Melasma Explained: What Causes It & How to Treat It

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:36:21 +0000

Should you actually sit on public toilet seats? It’s the debate dividing the team this week, as Tegan and Sadaf weigh in on whether it’s fine or whether hovering is the only option. Then, Tegan takes a deep dive into melasma, the stubborn pigmentation condition that can be incredibly frustrating to manage. She explains what actually causes melasma, why it’s so closely linked to hormones and sun exposure, and the key things you can do to help prevent it from worsening. Tegan also breaks down the treatment options available, from skincare you can use at home to the professional treatments that can help manage it in-clinic. Finally, in Adore Anon, a listener wants to know what she can actually do about split ends. Are there products that genuinely repair them, or is the only real fix a haircut? The team shares practical tips for preventing and managing split ends so your hair stays as healthy as possible between trims.

389. A Beauty Editor’s All-Time Fave Products & a Game-Changing SkinCeuticals Serum

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:09:52 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Mel and Hannah dive into the weird, wonderful and slightly questionable things living in our handbags… and what might also be living on them. From loose lip balms and snack crumbs to rogue hair ties and mystery receipts, Mel and Hannah compare the chaotic contents of their bags and discuss the surprising amount of bacteria handbags can harbour if they’re never cleaned. We’ve also got long-time Australian beauty editor Sarah Tarca and co-creator of beauty newsletter Gloss Etc. on the show to talk through the products she’s loved most throughout her career in beauty. Skincare staples, makeup she refuses to give up, and a discontinued perfume she still mourns, plus the fragrance she now wears that gets constant compliments and acts as a close semi-dupe. Hannah has always been a fan of cult Skinceuticals serum C E Ferulic, but she recently branched out into other products from the Skinceuticals lineup, discovering a few under-the-radar formulas that deserve just as much attention. She shares what she’s been testing, what surprised her, and which products might be worth adding to your routine if you’re already a fan of the brand. Thank you to Sarah Tarca from Gloss Etc. for joining us!

388. Under-Eye Concealer Hacks & How To Treat An Accidental Sunburn

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:04:42 +0000

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are all about tough love. Got sunburnt? They’re not mad, they’re just disappointed! Still, it happens to all of us sometimes, but there are ways to cope with an accidental one. But first up, Sadaf shares a game-changing under-eye concealer trick from TikTok for amazing dark circle coverage, and Tegan jumps in with her own clever hack for setting concealer without the creases. How to avoid emphasising fine lines + concealer that lasts the distance? Yes, please. Then it’s Win, Bin, Recycle: lash curlers. Are the scary-looking contraptions an essential step or a relic from 2003? The team debates whether they’re worth the effort. And yep, we’ve all been there. Accidental sunburn. Sadaf and Tegan break down immediate steps to calm inflamed skin, ingredients that help vs ingredients that will make it all worse, the active skincare products to pause, and what in-clinic treatments you can and can’t get done while your skin is healing. Finally, a listener needs advice: she’s got the crotch sweats. Tegan and Sadaf talk fabric choices that can make a difference, whether antiperspirant is an option and products you can use (and where).

387. The Nina Park Lip, a Hard Foot Skin Hack & a Viral K18 Review

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 05:22:25 +0000

Mel and Hannah are back, and there’s a new mini in town! Hannah catches us up on baby Mila and newborn life.

This week’s episode covers everything from red carpet glam to peeling heels, so strap in.
First up, we’re talking cracked heels. You know that thick, dry heel skin that no amount of body lotion can fix? Hannah’s figured out how to get rid of it, but Mel also has some historically excellent (and gross) tools for anyone who gets weird satisfaction out of bits of dead skin coming off their feet. We break down what actually works on stubborn hard skin, how to avoid overdoing it (because yes, you absolutely can) and the one method that really delivers.

Then, the ladies are joined by makeup artist and Senior Editor at Fashion Journal, Lara Daly, who has been perfecting her recreation of the 'Nina Park Lip'. If you’ve been watching red carpets lately and wondering why everyone from Emma Stone to Jessie Buckley’s lips look softly blurred, perfectly lined, but not overdone? That’s thanks to Hollywood makeup artist Nina Park. Lara tells us the secret to that diffused, pillowy lip finish, why precise liner placement matters more than overlining, and the skin-first approach that makes the whole look feel modern. Plus, does it work for everyday, not just the red carpet?

And Mel finally puts the internet-famous K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo to the test. After blowing up on social media with claims it’s “not like other dry shampoos”, Mel gives her honest, unfiltered verdict: Does it actually absorb oil? Does it leave buildup? Is it worth the price tag? And who will love it — and who should skip it?

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re back and catching up on everything that’s been happening these past few weeks. The biggest news? Tegan had her baby!

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we answer the much-debated question: should we be taking our shoes off in other people’s houses? (Spoiler: it’s a resounding yes from us).

Then, we unpack the news story that broke the 'beauty internet' this year – consumer group CHOICE revealing that 16 out of the 20 sunscreens they tested failed to meet their SPF claims. With misinformation and fear-mongering on the rise, we break down the facts and emphasise the importance of staying sun safe all year long.*

Finally, in Adore Anonymous, what do you do when you know your ex is attending the same New Year’s Eve party? We share our best skin prep tips for looking and feeling your hottest.

*Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure. Wear a hat, protective clothing and sunglasses when exposed to the sun. Re-apply frequently.

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we’re talking all things hair, getting to the root of scalp health, hair growth technology and current shifts in trends – are more women embracing long hair?

Then, we sit down with award-winning makeup artist Amanda Ramsay for a candid chat on menopause, retiring the term ‘anti-ageing’, and the zest for life she's experiencing in her fifties. Amanda also shares the beauty she’s been loving right now and spoiler: it’s all about glow.

Is this celebrity beauty brand giving Mel the smoothest hair of her life? We tried TYPEBEA’s Repair range – and our verdict is in.

Speaking of hair trends, the ‘bleph bun’ (a term coined by Allure writer Marci Robin) is everywhere, but does this slicked-back look really deliver a faux face lift? We have some thoughts.

Plus, we chat about the cult K-beauty products writer Juna Xu has been using for over 10 years. Are they actually worth the hype?

If you’ve ever thought about turning on-the-go makeup application into an extreme sport, tune in until the end. Just don’t try this at home.

372. The Science of BO & The Rise of Whole-Body Deodorant (with Dr Armpit)

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 20:54:37 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we’re diving nose-first into the world of scent, from newborn heads and fireplace smoke to… whole-body deodorant.

We kick off with a chat about things that smell good but aren’t perfume before getting into the week’s Cringey Convo: the rise of whole-body deodorant. Are we over-sanitising ourselves? Or just chasing freshness a little too far?

Then, we sit down with Dr Chris Callewaert — better known as Dr Armpit — one of the world’s leading odour researchers, to unpack:

What actually causes body odour (hint: it’s your bacteria’s fault)
Why some people smell stronger than others
What happens to our natural scent after pregnancy
And whether deodorant is secretly messing with your microbiome

Plus, we share our favourite products for staying fresh without smelling like Lynx Africa — from gentle feminine washes and gel deodorants to bougie room sprays and minty mouthwash that actually works.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Beauty IQ Expert, we’re diving into preventative skincare: the products, ingredients, and routines to start in your 20s to keep skin healthy, radiant, and resilient for years to come.

Skin therapist Tegan explains why prevention is smarter (and cheaper) than reversing damage later, covering SPF, hydration, antioxidants, and barrier support. From daily sunscreen to antioxidant serums and gentle exfoliation, we break down the must-dos, nice-to-dos, and the mistakes to avoid.

We also answer an Adore Anonymous dilemma: the sweaty underboob — is there a skincare-safe fix? In Win, Bin or Recycle, we explore preventative injectables, weighing what’s trending and what’s worth your time.

Plus, co-host Sadaf spills the best tips from skincare royalty Melanie Grant after sitting down with her at the Adore Beauty event.

370. Cosmetic Treatment Myths & What’s Actually Worth It With Dr Phoebe Jones

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 21:34:07 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we’re diving into the wild world of cosmetic treatments: the myths, the regrets, and the reality behind what’s “in” and what’s out in 2025.

From Reddit threads questioning whether we’ll one day look back at filler and BBLs like we do tanning beds, to TikTok’s obsession with “baby botox” and skin boosters, the beauty landscape is shifting fast. Hannah and Mel share their predictions (think: suntans and anti-aging culture might not age well), before sitting down with Sydney cosmetic doctor Dr Phoebe Jones to separate fact from fearmongering.

Dr Phoebe breaks down the biggest treatment shifts of the past year, why the “natural look” is officially here to stay, and what you really need to know before booking your first tweakment. She also shares the red flags to look for in a clinic, what transparency should look like in a good consultation, and her golden rule for cosmetic treatments in 2025.

In Stuff We Love, we’re talking cosmetic prep — the soothing, derm-approved products that keep your skin happy post-laser, peel, or treatment.

369. How Often Should You Exfoliate Your Scalp? And Other Forgotten Skin

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Beauty IQ Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are shining a light on the body parts we too often forget — starting with your scalp.

We spend so much time caring for the skin on our face, but what about our scalp, ears, elbows, and chest? Skin Therapist Tegan breaks down why scalp exfoliation is trending for all the right reasons, from improving scalp health and reducing build-up to helping your haircare products actually work harder. You’ll also learn how to care for those often-overlooked areas (and why your elbows deserve more love than they get).

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re talking celebrity skincare brands. The hits, the misses, and the ones that actually earn their spot in your routine (no shade, just facts).

Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks the million-dollar question: Does exfoliating your scalp really make your hair grow faster, or is that just marketing?

And if you’ve ever fallen in love with a product sample — same. We share the ones that turned into full-size obsessions, including a volumising paste you’ll want, immediately.

Everything mentioned:

Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumising Paste
KEVIN.MURPHY Doo Over 250mL
STRAAND HeavenScent Hair Perfume + Gloss

368. Would You Spend $750 on a Haircut? We Tried Celebrity Hairstylist John Pulitano’s “Texture Cut”

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Mel puts her money where her hair is with a $750 Texture Haircut by celebrity hairstylist John Pulitano. Was it worth the hype (and the price tag)? We get the full breakdown — from the salon chair nerves, to how it looks five months later, to whether it actually lives up to the promise of being the ultimate low-maintenance cut.

Then, Mel sits down with John himself, co-owner and creative director of Headcase Hair, to talk all things texture. He shares what makes this cut different, why lifestyle matters more than inspo pics, and how the right haircut can genuinely change how you feel about yourself. Plus, John’s advice on what to think about before booking a texture cut — especially if $750 isn’t in your budget.

Plus, Mel shares her surprising new gut health obsession for PWDKWN: The Beauty Chef Perfect Poo (yes, really). Spoiler: it tastes way better than it sounds.

367. How Much Beauty Product Do You Really Need? (Plus a Spicy Live Lip Test)

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Producer Jas turns up the heat (literally) with a live try-on of the VT Reedle Shot Lip Plumper. Tegan braves the Expert strength while Sadaf takes on the Beginner, both powered by teeny-tiny silica needles designed to boost circulation and volume. Sounds cute – until your lips feel like they’ve been sipping on a spicy Szechuan soup.

Next up in Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re debating a beauty tool everyone owns but probably shouldn’t be sharing: your razor. Apologies in advance to Tegan's dad, if you're listening.

Then, Tegan and Sadaf break down exactly how much product you really need for your face, hair, and body. From the pea-sized retinol rule to the surprising amount of SPF you’re underusing, we’re cutting through the guesswork so your routine works harder (and your products last longer).

Plus, in Adore Anonymous, we tackle the age-old mystery: why does your skin look amazing on holiday — and can you recreate that glow at home?

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored: concealer tubes done right, Kris Jenner’s facelifted MAC debut, and why your greys deserve a little more love.

Trending takes on MAC’s headline-making I Only Wear MAC campaign: Kris Jenner, Doja Cat, and Martha Stewart all included. Is it iconic or just unhinged?

Then, a listener in her 20s rings the Beauty IQ Hotline about going grey. We’ve got silver inspo, grey-blending tricks, and the low-effort cover-ups that won’t drain your wallet.

And in PWDKWN, Mel shares her Medik8 dream duo, while Hannah comes armed with the most unexpected government resource to help toilet-anxious girlies everywhere.

365. Perioral Dermatitis: How to Soothe a Flare up (According to a Skin Therapist)

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re unpacking one of the trickiest (and most misunderstood) skin conditions: perioral dermatitis. It looks like acne, feels a bit like eczema, but it’s neither — and the wrong products can make it even worse.

Skin therapist Tegan knows the struggle firsthand after developing PD during pregnancy. Alongside co-host Sadaf, she shares what it really is, the dos and don’ts of managing a flare, and the simple routine that actually helped calm her skin.

Plus: we confess our spring hygiene habits (be honest, how often are you washing your leggings?), put pimple patches in public to the test in Win, Bin or Recycle, and settle an Adore Anon on whether it’s gross to reuse a sheet mask.

364. We Try Dermalogica’s Viral Eye Serum (Dubbed “Bleph in a Bottle”) & Talk Hives

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 21:41:18 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we’re covering everything from hives to highlighters. But first, Mel’s new obsession: the It Smells Crazy In Here Instagram account. Think perfume reviews that are equal parts chaotic and hilarious (peach fart, anyone?).

Then it’s our Cringey Convo, where we unpack the joy (and misery) of hives. Mel and Hannah share their personal stories, what actually worked, and the surprisingly soothing creams that made a difference.

Our PWDKWN this week is Dermalogica’s “bleph in a bottle”: the Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream. Is it worth the eye-watering price tag? Hannah shares the results from her road test and why she’s now ruined for regular eye creams.

And finally, we’re talking Emmys red carpet. Pink and red gowns, men stealing the spotlight, and the binge-worthy shows you need on your watchlist.

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 21:13:26 +0000

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your wardrobe – your skincare shelf deserves a reset, too. In this Expert episode, Sadaf and Tegan show you how to declutter, swap, and reset your beauty routine without spending a cent.

From spotting expired products (yes, your mascara probably needs to be tossed) to smart seasonal swaps and beauty editor-approved hacks, this is your no-cost guide to starting fresh for spring.

We also tackle a very relatable Adore Anonymous on just how long you can stretch out your washes with dry shampoo, plus a juicy Win, Bin or Recycle on whether it’s ever okay to dip into your Airbnb host’s products.

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Mel makes the case for the best part of any night out: the girls’ getting-ready hour. Then, we dive into Renee Rapp’s viral lip combo and talk “nipple-matching” our lipstick shades. Yes, really.

Then we’re joined by Dr Devini Ameratunga for PCOS Awareness Month. She breaks down what PCOS actually is, the different types, how it shows up in skin and hair, and what treatments and supports really make a difference. If you’ve ever felt confused about PCOS, this chat is a must-listen.

And finally, in Stuff We Love, we’re all about K-Beauty staples: from lightweight lotions to juicy ceramide lip essences.

361. "Hydration Hacking" Explained: Myths, Facts & What Works for Skin

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 21:43:11 +0000

This week on Expert, Skin Therapist Tegan and co-host Sadaf are diving into one of 2025’s biggest beauty trends: hydration hacking. From electrolyte powders on your desk to “injectable moisturisers,” we’re breaking down what actually keeps your skin plump, dewy, and healthy – and what’s just clever marketing.

We unpack:

The difference between hydration, moisture, and barrier repair (and why it matters)
Electrolyte powders, collagen blends, and injectables like Profhilo – are they worth it?
The truth about hyaluronic acid, moisture sandwiching, and slugging
Lifestyle factors you might be overlooking that leave skin parched

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we debate baby powder after a shower. In Adore Anonymous, we answer a listener’s question about how many skincare steps you actually need (hint: it’s not ten).

Everything mentioned:

Whether you’re team serum, powder, or slugging, this episode will help you cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really hydrates skin.

360. Is Shopping IRL Back? Plus Beginner Glowy Makeup & TikTok’s ‘Australian 10’

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Mel is back from maternity leave, and we have much to catch up on in this week's Uncensored episode – but first, we need to know everything about her new baby, Joey.

First up in Trending, we’re asking: Is shopping IRL making a comeback? From Adore Beauty's physical store rollout to the revival of Chadstone and Chatswood Chase, we unpack why physical retail is booming again and what it says about the way we shop in 2025.

In Build My Cart, listener Rhianna asked us to curate the ultimate beginner’s makeup kit for a natural, glowy look. Then, we're sharing the beauty creators and experts inspiring us right now for Stuff We Love.

Finally, we unpack TikTok’s “Australian 10” trend. What even is the Australian beauty aesthetic? Slicked-back buns, bronzed skin, dewy glow?? We’ve got thoughts.

359. What’s The Hype With Hypochlorous Acid? That Post-Workout Spray All Over Social Media

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re asking the question filling your feeds: is hypochlorous acid just fancy water in a spray bottle, or a legit skin saviour?

Before we get into that, we kick things off with Win, Bin or Recycle, where gel toenail extensions are on the chopping block. Worth it or nah?

Then, in our deep dive, we break down everything you need to know about hypochlorous acid: the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory ingredient your own body naturally makes. We cover why it’s trending right now, how it helps with acne, eczema, and barrier support, and whether it belongs in your routine. Plus, we compare Tower 28’s cult SOS Spray to Qure’s Dermal Mist (our Adore pick), and share exactly when and how to use it.

In Adore Anonymous, we answer a listener’s SOS: how to deal with post-acne dark marks (spoiler: niacinamide is a great start, but pigment blockers are key, and you have to stop picking!).

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Mel’s out battling post-partum hives (sending all the thoughts and prayers), so Producer Jas is back with Hannah.

We kick things off with Cringey Convo, diving into a topic you didn’t know you were secretly obsessed with: how to properly clean your shower. From tiles and glass to grout and silicone, we share the simplest hacks for keeping everything sparkling, plus tips for tackling stubborn mould, limescale, soap scum, and preventing buildup before it starts.

Next, in On My Shelf, we sit down with Carla Oates, founder of The Beauty Chef, to talk about how gut health really drives glowing skin. Carla opens up about her daily rituals, kitchen and bathroom staples, the science behind the microbiome, and how her wellness and beauty routine has evolved over the years.

357. Can You Actually Get Rid of Dark Spots? Here’s What Works

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

You’ve layered on dark spot serums and SPF like it’s your full-time job… and yet those spots are still hanging around. Why is pigmentation so stubborn, and what can skincare actually do about it?

In this episode of Expert, we break down everything you need to know about treating pigmentation, from sun damage, hormonal changes, PIH, and melasma, to figuring out which type you have. We cover which serums really work, when to consider in-clinic treatments like lasers or peels, and the top ingredients to fade dark spots, including vitamin C, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, retinoids, and kojic acid.

We also discuss why pigmentation can recur, the actual timeframe for results, and share tried-and-tested product recommendations for every budget, including favourites from Dermalogica, Ole Henriksen, Cosmedix, Société, Osmosis, and L’Oréal Paris (all linked below).

Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle, we ask if face cupping is trend or trash, and in Adore Anonymous, we answer: tranexamic acid vs. azelaic acid: Can you actually use them together?

355. Are Pores Shrinkable? What A Skin Therapist Really Thinks

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re tackling one of the most-Googled beauty questions ever: Can you actually shrink your pores? From viral clay masks to pore-blurring primers, we’ve all been tempted by products promising “poreless” skin, but how much of that is marketing, and how much is science?

Jas shares her latest VISIA scan results post-treatments (spoiler: she's a time traveller), before we dive into:

What really determines pore size (genetics, oil flow, collagen levels)
Why pores sometimes look larger, and how to prevent it
The skincare ingredients worth adding to your routine (retinol, niacinamide, AHAs, salicylic acid)
In-clinic treatments that actually help (and the ones to avoid)
Affordable pore-refining products under $100 that really deliver

We also settle the debate on whether blackhead vacuums and pore strips help or harm (hint: your barrier will thank you if you skip them).

Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle, we ask: are bandage dresses back… and are they a recession indicator? And in Adore Anonymous, an exfoliation dilemma: if your cleanser already has acids, is it double-exfoliating to use another?

If you’ve ever zoomed in on your nose and wished your pores would disappear, this episode will reset your expectations and give you the best tools to refine, smooth, and keep your skin healthy long-term.

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we’re diving into all the beauty basics you didn’t know you needed (plus a few you definitely did).

First up, Top 3: we count down the most-coveted scalp scrubs, why they’re so good for hair health, and which ones really deliver clean, flake-free, stronger, and shinier hair.

Next, in Beauty IQ Hotline, we turn our attention to our nails. Builder Gel, Gel X, or SNS: Which one lasts, which one damages your nails less, and which is worth your money? Jas and Hannah break down wear time, maintenance, and salon costs so you can pick the perfect manicure for any occasion (wedding trials included).

Finally, in Stuff We Love, we dig into pregnancy-safe skincare. From serums to SPF, facials to Botox alternatives, we explore what’s genuinely safe, what to avoid, and tips for keeping your skin glowing and comfortable during pregnancy. Plus, Hannah's must-have products that actually work.

353. Why Skincare Results Take So Long: The Science of Skin Cell Turnover

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

If you’ve ever ditched a serum after two weeks because “it wasn’t doing anything,” this Expert episode is for you. We’re breaking down the real timelines for skincare results, from the first day your product starts working biologically to when you’ll actually see a difference in the mirror.

From vitamin C to retinol, acids to peptides, we unpack:

The average skin cell cycle (and why it slows with age)
How long common active ingredients take to show visible results
When to push through and when to give up on a product
Lifestyle factors that can sabotage your progress (yes, skipping SPF counts)
Simple ways to track your results without obsessing

But first, Sadaf's back from her European summer vacation and gives us the rundown on her trip, including which beauty products she actually used.

Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle?, we weigh in on SKIMS’ new controversial “shapewear for your face,” and in Adore Anonymous, we troubleshoot an itchy, bumpy rash that popped up post-Europe trip.

If patience isn’t your skincare strong suit, this might change your perspective.

352. Why We Keep Falling for Gimmick Beauty (And When It Actually Works)

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Blood masks, jelly cleansers, peel-off lip stains... has beauty gone too far, or are some of these viral trends actually worth the hype?

In this Uncensored episode, we’re diving headfirst into the world of so-called “gimmick” beauty — unpacking what’s a cash grab, what actually works, and why we keep getting sucked in.

We chat about the psychology behind our obsession with the shiny and new, and how social media isn’t just influencing our carts, it’s shaping the products themselves.

Plus, in Build My Cart, a listener treats herself to the ultimate post-breakup glow-up haul, and in Stuff We Love, we’re praising Huda Beauty's new lip stain that refuses to budge (in the best way possible).

Whether you're a sceptic or a sucker for the next big thing, this one’s for you.

351. Does a Higher % Mean Better Results? Demystifying Skincare Actives

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re tackling one of skincare’s most confusing topics: ingredient percentages. You know the ones — 10% vitamin C, 20% glycolic acid — but does a bigger number actually mean better results, or just better marketing?

Tegan and Jas break down when high percentages truly make a difference, when they just cause irritation, and why more isn’t always better. We’re diving into actives, skin barrier health, and the myths brands love to sell — plus the unsung product heroes quietly doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Plus, we reveal what really makes a product work (spoiler: it’s not just the star ingredient) and share how to read labels like a pro, beyond the percentages.

In Beauty IQ Hotline, we help a listener whose makeup keeps sliding off by 11 a.m. — uncovering the sneaky culprits behind separation and quick fixes to keep your look fresh all day.

And in Win, Bin or Recycle, we weigh in on the surprisingly controversial trend of… duck nails. Yes, really.

350. Is This Korean Skin Clinic Melbourne’s Best-Kept Secret? Plus, Hannah’s Big (!!) News

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored… Producer Jas is back again – but the big news? Hannah’s pregnant! So naturally, it only felt right to kick things off with a throwback to Cringey Convo, where she shares the most unexpected parts of early pregnancy: supersized boobs, vivid baby poo dreams, green apple cravings, and the joys of 24/7 nausea. Gas and Google Forums? Say less.

Then, in We Tried It, we dive into a new frontier of skincare: Korean-engineered skin clinics. We visited NU28 — a sleek Melbourne space combining AI skin diagnostics and medical-grade energy devices to build personalised skin journeys (with plush toys for moral support).

Jas tried the Potenza RF microneedling and pigment-brightening laser treatments, and Hannah had a go at… well, you’ll have to listen in. We break down the science, the vibes, and whether it’s the future of Australian skin clinics.

Finally, would you sit in a crusty mask that makes your face itch for 40 minutes in the name of beauty? We discuss DMK Enzyme Therapy and whether we’re too claustrophobic to cope.

349. Do You Really Need a Toner in 2025? Plus, Toe Rings and Snail Mucin

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

In this Expert episode, Tegan is joined by producer Jas (filling in while Sadaf soaks up the Euro sun) to unpack the real role of toner in a modern skincare routine. But first, a beauty holiday debrief, featuring the best (and worst) moments from our trips to Bali and Thailand...

Then, we dive into the toner territory: from old-school stingy astringents to today’s hydrating milky lotions and acid-soaked exfoliating pads. Is toner a must-have or just a fancy water step? Plus, we settle the toner vs mist vs essence debate, recommend some bargain-to-bougie options (including the cult K-beauty pick that’s gone viral).

Also in this episode: toe rings in WBR (Win, Bin, or Recycle?), and an Adore Anonymous asking if snail mucin is skincare magic or marketing fluff.

348. Cult Serums Under $100, Melasma Help & The $14 Freckle Pen We’re Loving

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We’re talking all things glow this week on Uncensored, from cult-status serums under $100 to the surprise return of permanent hair straightening. (Seriously, where is the Melbourne version of that GC/Sydney salon? Hannah needs answers.)

Producer Jas is back with the latest and greatest from Adore HQ, including a $14 freckle pen that fakes summer skin in seconds, Laneige’s new donut-shaped lip serum, and a foundation brush she’s borderline evangelical about.

Plus, a listener calls in about their stubborn melasma, and we get expert advice from our go-to skin queen, Dermal Clinician Yads, on what actually works long-term.

Oh, and in breaking news: Hannah’s partner Nick has fallen off the skincare wagon. But don’t worry, she’s devised a system involving strong visual cues. You’ll want to take notes.

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, Tegan shares her ultimate guide to faking that effortless summer glow no matter the season — no sunbathing required. If you’re feeling pale, dry, or just missing that lit-from-within radiance, this episode is your go-to survival kit for skin that looks healthy and glowing from head to toe.

We cover everything from prepping your skin with gentle exfoliation and hydration to choosing the perfect hybrid tints, illuminating SPFs, and makeup that layers like a dream. Plus, beauty editor Sadaf spills her favourite product recommendations that make glow-up easy and natural, sans the sun damage.

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we weigh in on the latest press-on nail trends — are they worth the hype or just a quick fix?

Over in Adore Anonymous, a listener wonders how long they should pause retinol before a skin appointment, and Tegan offers practical advice so you don’t end up with a skincare disaster.

346. We Tried the Viral Japanese Head Spa Taking Over Your TikTok Feed

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, Hannah and Producer Jas try the viral Japanese Head Spa treatment flooding your TikTok feed. Cascading basin taps, a scalp massage that borders on hypnotic, and the kind of lather ASMR dreams are made of — we road test The Head Spa by Hikari in Melbourne and ask: is it worth the $260 hype?

But first, we’re diving into a hot topic (literally): Is Love Island promoting a dangerous tanning culture? From sunbed confessions to tan accelerators, we unpack how this trend is playing out on social media and what it could mean for Gen Z sun safety.

In Build My Cart, we’re personal shopping for a listener heading off on a Euro summer, with our tried-and-tested picks for surviving 40-degree heat.

Plus, in Stuff We Love, we put Wella Professionals’ new Ultimate Smooth range to the frizz-fighting test… and yes, we have thoughts on The Devil Wears Prada sequel news.

345. Can I Laser That? Your Biggest Questions, Answered by a Skin Expert

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

From Parisian pharmacies to the local laser clinic — we’re talking French skincare staples and laser FAQs in this week's Expert episode. We kick off with a Bastille Day-inspired chat about our all-time favourite French pharmacy buys (think: Bioderma, Cicaplast, Nuxe). Then, it’s time to talk lasers.

As a skin therapist and laser tech, Tegan’s heard it all, from “Can I laser bruises?” to “Can you laser nipple hair?” Today, we’re breaking down exactly what you can (and can’t) treat with lasers. From pigmentation and spider veins to acne scars and body hair in unexpected places (yes, even your toes), we bust myths, explain how lasers work for different skin tones, and share the prep and aftercare rules you really need to follow.

Later, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks: Are fragrance-free products always better for sensitive skin? Plus, we weigh in on social media's “Collagen Banking” for this week's Win, Bin or Recycle – is it a legit preventative strategy, or just another beauty buzzword?

344. Is the Clean Girl Era Over? The Rise of the Messy Beauty Aesthetic

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We’re going full high-low this week on Uncensored, from bougie beauty buys that scream “I’ve made it” to the chaotic joy of Aldi’s middle aisle. But first, we need to talk about how Charli XCX’s Brat Girl Summer might have killed the Clean Girl era.

In Trending, we’re asking: Is the age of slick buns and minimalism over? From TikTok’s Cluttercore to Olsen Twin energy, we unpack the rise of the “messy aesthetic” and how it’s trickling down to our vanities and routines.

Then, it’s a PWDKWN with a twist: We’re not talking about what you need, but what you’d buy if you were living your most delulu rich-girl fantasy. Think Dior eye patches, Hermès nail files, and a dermatologist on speed dial.

And finally: Aldi Special Buys. We need to talk...

343. These Sneaky Skincare Habits Could Be Ruining Your Results

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

You could have the fanciest skincare shelf in the world, but if you're rinsing with boiling water or layering your actives in the wrong order, you might be sabotaging your results without even realising.

This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are doing a skincare audit, breaking down the most common routine mistakes (yes, even seasoned skincare lovers make them) and how to reset your barrier without starting from scratch.

We also dive into the age-old question: Is it ever OK to use expired sunscreen? Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re unpacking the icy beauty trend — genius or gimmick?

342. Sarah & Sebastian’s Ear Styling Service Is Going Viral — We Tried It

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored… we're talking ear stacks, style copycats, and the unexpected horror of neglected coffee machines.

Ear stacking is everywhere right now, and Sarah & Sebastian’s styling appointment is causing a serious buzz. We got the inside scoop in this week's We Tried It – from what the piercing experience is really like to the bespoke jewellery options and whether it’s actually worth your time (and money). Not sponsored, just serious fans.

Then, in Beauty IQ Hotline, a listener needs advice on navigating a very relatable dilemma: What do you do when your friend keeps copying your look? From haircuts to outfits, we’ve got a few gentle (and not-so-gentle) suggestions.

Plus, in Stuff We Love, Mel’s obsessed with descaling her coffee machine (you’ll never look at old water the same way again), Hannah’s damp-rid evangelism continues, and we spiral over the curse that is Facebook Marketplace.

341. Acne, Rosacea or Pigmentation? You Need to Know About Azelaic Acid

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We’re giving azelaic acid its well-deserved moment in this week's Expert episode.

You’ve probably noticed it popping up everywhere lately — and for good reason. It’s gentle but effective, great for acne, rosacea, pigmentation, and sensitive skin, with fewer side effects than retinol or exfoliating acids.

We break down how it stacks up against niacinamide and salicylic acid, the best strengths to look for, how to layer it with other actives, and bust some myths along the way.

Plus, we’re answering an Adore Anonymous question on how long it actually takes to see results from skincare. Spoiler: Patience is key, and skin cycles matter.

We also weigh in on novelty-flavoured toothpaste for this week's Win, Bin, or Recycle? and share the liquid eyeliner that not even Tegan's double-cleanse could take off. Now that's long-wear.

340. We Unpack Beauty’s “Butter Skin” Trend & Build a Winter Skincare Routine

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

EOFY is here, and the 3am impulse buys are hitting hard. From portable air purifiers to $500 sleep headphones, we’re exposing each other’s most unhinged shopping moments before diving into this week’s beauty lineup.

First up in Trending, we’re unpacking the latest foodie beauty obsession: Butter Skin.

Like glass skin’s creamier, more attainable cousin, butter skin is all about a velvety, plump complexion with subtle radiance (think soft and smooth, not slick and shiny). We explain what it is, why it’s going viral, and exactly how to achieve it. Plus the products we’d recommend to get the look.

Then, in Build My Cart, we curate the perfect winter skincare haul for normal to combination skin. If your face is starting to feel tight, flaky, or just a bit dull as the temps drop, we’ve got a mix of hydrating cleansers, soothing serums, and rich moisturisers to get you glowing again, without blowing the budget.

Also this week: a grandma-level toilet paper purchase, the soothing power of jojoba, and why Hannah’s now obsessed with shower oil.

339. Is Your Cleanser Wrecking Your Skin Barrier? + Euro Summer Essentials

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

That tight, squeaky-clean feeling after washing your face? Yeah… that’s your skin barrier screaming. This week on Expert, we’re talking cleansers: the good, the bad, and the barrier-breaking.

We’ll bust some common myths (foaming doesn’t always mean clean), share the signs your cleanser might be too harsh, and give you our go-to picks for every skin type.

Also on the run sheet: summer-in-Europe beauty packing. Inspired by the viral “5-finger summer faves” TikTok, Sadaf reveals what’s actually going in her suitcase, while Tegan builds her dream Euro glow kit. Think glowy SPF, cream blush, and maybe a micellar mini or two.

Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener’s hunting for a tinted peptide lip treatment under $50 – we’ve got great picks, and a reminder that SPF lip balm might be the real MVP.

338. Top Tubing Mascaras, Finding a New Hairdresser & Mel’s PWDKWN Eye Cream

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We’re talking tubing mascaras, hairdresser heartbreak, and a surprisingly impressive eye serum in this week’s episode of Uncensored.

First up in the Top 3, we’re ranking your most-loved tubing mascaras, based on Adore Beauty data. If you’ve ever struggled with panda eyes, smudging, or mascara flaking off by 3pm, this segment is your eye-opening intro into tubing technology (and which formulas are actually worth your money).

Then, in Beauty IQ Hotline, we help a listener find a new hairdresser after theirs moved interstate (the worst). From sliding into random DMs to saving your colour formula, we’ve got practical advice for navigating the salon switch without the stress.

In Stuff We Love, Mel’s got a Product We Didn’t Know We Needed (PWDKWN) — and it’s for tired, puffy eyes. She shares why this affordable eye cream deserves a permanent spot in your skincare rotation, plus an affordable brush set that’s actually good.

Also this week: oily roots, Reddit rabbit holes, and a deep reflection on why car D&Ms hit harder than therapy.

337. The Best In-Clinic Skin Treatments for Slow-Aging (According to a Skin Therapist)

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are diving into the clinical side of skin longevity – and debunking a few myths along the way.

First up in Win, Bin or Recycle: Should you be using your body lotion on your face? (Spoiler: We have thoughts.)

Then, for our beauty education, skin therapist Tegan shares her top three in-clinic treatments for slow-aging skin. From the low-downtime magic of Laser Genesis, to the collagen-boosting power of skin needling, to the underrated glow-up potential of a vitamin A or C peel, she breaks down what’s worth your money and what to pair with your at-home routine to really extend your results.

Plus, we talk peptides, LED devices, and why your lifestyle habits might be just as important as your skincare.

And in Adore Anonymous, one listener wants to know how often they actually need to clean their piercings, and whether they’re doing it wrong.

336. Buccal Facials, Curly Hair Routines & The “Australian Bun” Debate

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Mel’s officially on baby watch and we’re counting down! But before things get really uncensored in the delivery room, we’ve got a pre-recorded ep packed with beauty tips, TikTok trends, and one very unique facial.

In We Tried It, Mel puts her face (and trust) in the hands of renowned facialist April Brodie for a Buccal Fusion Facial — yep, the one where they massage inside your mouth. She shares exactly what it feels like, what it did for her skin, and why she’s officially obsessed.

Then in Build My Cart, a listener asks how to get the kind of curls that break the internet. We break down the routine, the hacks, and the hydration-heavy product picks to make it happen.

Plus, a shimmering body oil worth a winter restock, a reminder that brunette George Clooney is messing with our minds, and a PSA: the viral “Australian bun” might not be the universal serve TikTok thinks it is…

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Dry heels? Crusty toes? Feet hiding in socks until further notice? This week on Expert, we’re talking foot care – because your soles deserve better. From exfoliating socks to overnight slugging, we break down an easy, affordable routine to revive neglected feet and keep them soft, smooth, and sandal-ready.

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we revisit a viral hack: setting spray before makeup. Does it actually work? We tried it with the OG: M.A.C. Cosmetics Fix+

In Adore Anonymous, a listener wonders if there’s such a thing as too much hydration. Can you overdo the glazed donut thing? Our experts weigh in.

And finally, we’re adding a cult French body oil to cart that fakes a summer glow even in the depths of winter. Yes, it’s that good.

334. Unregulated Beauty Products, Teen Skincare Routine & Mel’s Baby Countdown Begins!

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 00:41:23 +0000

What is in those suspiciously cheap beauty products? Mel’s on the home stretch to baby, and we’re building the ultimate beginner routine for teen skin — it’s all happening on Uncensored this week.

In Trending, we dive into the growing concern around unregulated beauty products. With recent studies revealing harmful levels of toxic chemicals in some budget buys, we’re unpacking what’s really in those too-good-to-be-true serums, and how to shop smarter to protect your skin.

Then, in Build My Cart, a listener enlists us to create the perfect skincare starter pack for her 14-year-old sister. We keep it gentle, affordable, and beginner-friendly — including a top-notch SPF that’s cute and doesn’t cost a fortune.

In Stuff We Love, we get our hands (and lips) on Laneige’s new limited-edition Bubble Tea lip balms, and take a wildly passionate detour into what taro actually tastes like.

Plus, Mel gives a little maternity leave update, and we fill you in on what’s coming up over the next few episodes.

333. Should You Stop Exfoliating in Winter? (And Other Skincare Myths Busted)

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

In this week’s Expert episode, things are getting chilly – but your skincare doesn’t have to suffer. Skin therapist and co-host Tegan busts some of winter’s biggest skin myths: Do you still need SPF in June? Is it time to ditch exfoliants? And does dry skin really mean you need to slather on the thickest cream in your stash?

Before that, in Win, Bin or Recycle, the girls weigh in on the growing trend of “raw-dogging” your toner with bare hands. (Spoiler: it’s a win for the skin, but perhaps not your bathroom floor.)

Next up: Adore Anonymous drops a beauty bomb: Can moisturiser actually replace your cleanser when removing makeup? Our hosts separate fact from fiction.

Plus, producer Jas gives an update on her wedding skin journey, and the team shares their top skin barrier savers and affordable winter product picks under $100.

From hot shower mistakes to misunderstood hydration hacks, this ep will have your winter skin covered – literally.

331. Do LED Face Masks Actually Work? The Truth About Red Light Therapy

Tue, 27 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

You’ve seen them all over your feed: those glowing, slightly terrifying LED face masks that promise clearer, firmer, glowier skin. But do they actually work? And if so, which one is worth your dollars?

In this Expert episode, we’re diving into the booming world of red light therapy and LED face masks. Skin therapist Tegan breaks down the science behind the trend, explains what each colour of light actually does (spoiler: red = collagen, blue = breakouts), and reveals her top picks—from luxe full-face masks to budget-friendly buys.

We also answer an anonymous listener’s question about skin purging vs. a bad reaction, and in Win, Bin or Recycle, we ask the important question: Is cutting your toenails on the couch ever OK?

330. Dry Skin Saviours, Liquid Gold 2.0 & The Cleaning TikToks We Can't Stop Watching

Sun, 25 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Mel’s leaky boobs, a skincare cult classic gets a glow-up, and a listener begs for a winter skin rescue — it’s all happening on Uncensored this week.

In We Tried It, we get our hands on the new and improved Alpha-H Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment with Vitamin C. The original cult exfoliant just got a brightening, antioxidant-rich upgrade, but is it better? We discuss.

Then in Build My Cart, we help a listener overhaul her dry, flaky skin (and foundation that refuses to blend) with a $300 budget and a dream of glowier, smoother winter skin. We’re talking clever layering, glow-boosting skincare, and makeup that won’t cling to crusty bits.

In Stuff We Love, we spiral about the joy of jewellery cleaning (seriously) — featuring an Aldi find and a very satisfying before-and-after.

329. The Reason Your Lips Are Always Dry (And It’s Not the Weather)

Tue, 20 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We’re back with part two of our skin barrier series in this week’s Expert ep. This time, we’re zooming in on your lips. If you’re reapplying lip balm 17 times a day and still waking up with crusty, cracked lips… we need to talk.

Co-hosts Tegan and Sadaf break down the science behind lip barrier damage, why your trusty balm might be making things worse (yep, really), and what to do if you want soft, actually hydrated lips—not just a glossy coating.

Plus, an Adore Anonymous listener suspects their fake tan is behind a sudden blackhead breakout, and Win, Bin or Recycle takes an unexpected (and slightly gross) turn in the bathroom.

327. Sensitive or Sensitised Skin? How to Tell and What to Do About It

Tue, 13 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Think your skin is sensitive? It might be… but it might also just be sensitised. And yes, there’s a big difference – one that could totally change how you treat your skin.

In this Expert episode, Sadaf and Tegan unpack the key differences between true sensitive skin (like eczema, rosacea or a lifelong reactive skin type) and sensitised skin (which is often the result of overdoing it with actives, harsh products or environmental stress). We break down the signs, the triggers, and how to rebuild your skin barrier so your face stops freaking out at literally everything.

Plus, we share:

Affordable ways to fade post-acne scarring
Our own dirty little beauty secrets (you’re not alone)
A few confessions that maybe should’ve stayed off-mic…

If your skin’s been moody, red, stingy, or just off, this one’s for you.

Sun, 11 May 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Uncensored, we're asking the big questions: how many skin prep steps is too many before makeup? Mikayla Nogueira’s five-step routine has us spiralling (and yes, we read the ingredient lists). Also, intrusive beauty thoughts—lash trimming? Bangs?? Help.

Then, we’re diving into the Top 3 sleeping masks trending on Adore Beauty right now. They’re the ultimate lazy-girl skincare hack: no rinsing, no fuss, just glowy skin by morning.

In Build My Cart, we each get $500 to spend on the perfect day and night serum lineup – and honestly, we came to impress. Whether your skin's dry, oily, or somewhere in between, we’ve got options.

From the gut-skin-brain connection to smarter, more sustainable formulas, we’re breaking it all down. Plus, meet the newest cult supplement brand to hit Adore Beauty’s shelves.

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we ask the tough question: why do we still clean our ears with cotton buds when we know it’s a terrible idea? (Guilty.)

321. The Best Body Skin Care & Treatments in 2025: Smooth, Firm & Sculpt Your Skin

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 22:11:10 +0000

We’re giving the skin below your chin some well-deserved love in this week’s Expert episode—from in-clinic treatments that sound like they belong in a sci-fi flick, to at-home body care solutions that actually deliver results. Think firming creams, LED gadgets, and exfoliants that’ll have you feeling dolphin-smooth in no time.

But first, it’s Win, Bin or Recycle—and let’s just say… we’re going full bush this week. No further context needed.

Later, we settle the great neck cream debate: do you really need one, or is your face moisturiser enough? We break down the key ingredients to look for if you’re serious about smoothing, firming, and protecting that delicate area.

319. Pregnancy-Safe Skincare 101: Products & Clinic Treatments to Try

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re tackling a big one: age management during pregnancy. Skin therapist and co-host Tegan breaks down what you can use safely during this stage (hi bakuchiol, vitamin C, and hydrating facials) and what to give a hard pass (goodbye, retinol and high-strength peels).

We’re also covering the clinic treatments that are actually pregnancy-safe—and the best options for glowing, healthy skin with minimal downtime.

But first… Sadaf has a hot take on the Shark FlexStyler. Spoiler: it changed her entire hair routine.

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re weighing in on one of beauty’s more divisive trends: soap nails. Are they the future of minimalist manicures—or just a slippery gimmick?

And finally, in Adore Anon, a listener needs help with stubborn dark circles. Sadaf shares her tried-and-tested product picks (including a new Korean eye serum she’s currently trialling) and the concealers that actually deliver.

What happens when you’re away from home with zero makeup and a formal event on the cards? In this week’s Uncensored episode, we put our personal shopper hats on for a listener who needs a full glam look—on a strict $150 budget. From the best drugstore foundation to a smudge-proof mascara and a setting spray that actually works, we build a cart that covers all the essentials (and looks damn good in photos).

Plus, in We Tried It, Mel shares her experience getting a pregnancy-safe lymphatic massage. We unpack what makes this treatment safe for pregnancy, what to expect during the session, and why hydration is key post-massage.

Then, Hannah shares her latest obsession: a sinus care system (shoutout FLO), and Mel’s bringing her favourite chicken soup recipe into the group chat—because beauty starts with feeling good, right?

Oh, and if sparkly skin won’t leave your algorithm alone either, you’re not alone. We talk TikTok’s obsession with Meredith Duxbury’s glowy glam and the MCoBeauty dupe that nails the vibe.

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 20:00:00 +0000

In this week’s Expert episode, we’re diving into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime: menopause and your skin. From perimenopause to post, Skin Therapist Tegan unpacks the science behind hormonal skin changes—think dryness, sensitivity, breakouts—and shares practical tips on how to tweak your skincare routine to match.

Expect expert advice, product swaps, and gut health hacks to help you feel more confident (and less confused) about what your skin needs during this phase of life.

Plus, the Millennial Side Part is apparently making a comeback (did it ever really leave?). In this week’s Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re both amused and mildly offended as we weigh in on the internet’s latest beauty declaration.

And in Adore Anonymous, Tegan and Sadaf break down the buzz around “clean” and “organic” skincare—what those labels actually mean, what’s marketing fluff, and what really matters when it comes to results.

316. Kate Morris on 25 Years in Beauty, Her Holy Grails & The Iconic Adore Beauty Tim Tam

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Emily Ratajkowski just got the worst haircut of her life—her words, not ours—but somehow turned it into a genius Kérastase ad. We had thoughts, so naturally, we had to kick off this week's Uncensored ep by dissecting the whole thing.

Then, in honour of 25 Years of Adore Beauty, we’re revealing the three best-selling, most iconic products of all time—and trust us, the results might surprise you.

We also sat down with the woman who started it all: Kate Morris, co-founder of Adore Beauty. From launching Australia’s first online beauty retailer at just 21 to shaping how we shop for beauty today, Kate has seen (and tried) it all. She spills on the products currently taking up prime real estate on her shelf and takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane—including the story behind the iconic Adore Beauty Tim Tam.

And finally, do your nails really need a break? We dive into the debate and share our best advice (and product picks) for this week's Beauty IQ Hotline.

This week on Expert, producer Jas gets up close and personal with her VISIA scan results—uncovering her biggest skin concerns and the treatment plan skin therapist (and co-host) Tegan has prescribed to tackle them. Plus, we reveal Jas’ TruSkin Age… and let’s just say, one side of her face has been aging in fast-forward. Yep, a full five years ahead of the other.

Next, we’re diving into skincare through the decades—what your skin actually needs in your 40s, 50s, and 60s. From collagen support in your 40s to deep hydration in your 50s and barrier-strengthening in your 60s, we break down the non-negotiables for every stage.

Plus, in Win, Bin, or Recycle, we’re revisiting a controversial early 2000s trend—concealer lips. TikTok says it’s back, but should it stay in the past?

And in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks: How do you keep things fresh down there? We’re getting real about intimate care, pH-balanced cleansers, and the biggest dos and don’ts.

314. Is Social Media Making Us Want More Cosmetic Procedures?

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +0000

From nose jobs to fox-eye lifts, cosmetic procedures have never felt more accessible—or more tempting. Thanks to social media, we’re no longer just seeing the before and afters. We're watching it all unfold: pre-op consults, the surgery chair, the bruises, the swelling, the recovery. But is this behind-the-scenes access empowering, or is it just another kind of beauty pressure dressed up as transparency? We get into it in this week's Uncensored episode.

Plus, we help a listener build the ultimate $100 barrier repair cart for dehydrated, acne-prone skin—affordable and effective picks only.

And finally, Hannah confesses to dropping $140 on a very bougie bin (yes, a bin), and shares the other fancy things she’s picked up for her new home. Meanwhile, Mel makes a surprising case for her current home obsession... a poo stool.

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +0000

On TikTok, #GoingBackToSiliconeShampoo has amassed over 89.6 million views, sparking a major beauty debate: why did we turn our backs on silicones in the first place, and why are they making a comeback in our showers?

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +0000

This week on Expert, we’re tackling one of beauty’s most debated topics: pheromone perfumes. Can they really make you more irresistible, or is the secret to an unforgettable scent all about how you layer? Our Experts break down the science behind fragrance chemistry, reveal why some scents get more compliments, and share the best fragrance combos for a signature scent that lasts.

In Win, Bin, or Recycle, we settle the great rain shower head debate—are they a decor dream or just an overhyped hassle? Tegan has some thoughts to share.

Ep 180: Everything We Learnt From Having A Personal Colour Analysis

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 19:00:00 +0000

Breastfeeding

Unless you have been up close when a friend or family member has been breastfeeding, we don't see most women's reality in the first stages. We usually see women breastfeeding comfortably at a cafe or a park but it takes awhile to get to that point. What we don't see is women at home, crying with their shirt completely off with milk coming off one side and a crying baby trying to latch on the other. Sophie Walker is working to change that and educate women.

Sophie Walker is the author of The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth and host of the podcast Australian Birth Stories. Sophie has a Masters in Public Health and is passionate about encouraging pregnant women and their support people to actively prepare for birth and postpartum. Find out more about Sophie at: https://australianbirthstories.com

Hannah Road-Tested Yoni Steaming So You Don't Have To

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Influenced by reality TV, Hannah tried Yoni Steaming so you don't have to. No really, we don't suggest trying this at home.

After seeing Kourtney Kardashian try Yoni Steaming in an episode of The Kardashians, Hannah took one for the team and tried it so you didn’t have to. As you'll hear in this episode, there are some potential risks involved, so it's not something we'd recommend you try for yourself at home.

We would like to acknowledge that Kourtney Kardashian was using this method as one way of improving her fertility. We wish all those trying to conceive the best on their fertility journey, and apologise in advance if this content was triggering in any way.

Ep 104: What Does "Cosmeceutical" Actually Mean?

Sun, 26 Sep 2021 21:00:00 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Managing the Corona Coaster - One Year On

Last year we spoke with Dr Aileen Alegado about the tips and tricks of managing our mental health during Covid-19. A year on and...not much has changed. Dr Aileen joins us once again for an update on self-care in the times of Corona. What have we learned? How have we changed? And what are the most effective ways Dr Aileen has seen clients dealing with Covid related stress?

Cosmeceutical Skincare

Dr Michele Squire returns to our podcast to drop some truth bombs. The beauty industry is filled with unregulated terms (such as green/clean/organic) which leads to making an informed purchase difficult for the untrained eye. Technically, the same goes for the term "Cosmeceutical". Dr Michele teaches us what this term actually means, and what we need to know to make sure we're purchasing the right products for ourselves.

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Foot Etiquette

This seems to be a very contentious topic with our listeners. What is the etiquette when it comes to feet and dating? How long (if at all) do you have to wait until you can rest your exposed feet on someone's lap? Is it something that needs to be discussed first? We go through these questions PLUS your cringiest feet stories.

Oily Roots and Dry Ends

Beloved member of our team, Millie Porter joins us today to discuss all things oily roots and dry ends. Why does it happen? What products can be used to address them? And the biggest mistakes people with these hair concerns make.

Millie will also be running our Beauty IQ Livestream on haircare basics on the 29th of September, which our listeners can watch here: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/

Products And Brands We Mispronounce:

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Thigh Chafing

Adore newbie, Amy Clark chats with Hannah about thigh chafing, and Amy shares some of her favourite products she not only recommends for between the thighs, but also for bra band chafe too.

Products mentioned:

Skinstitut Glycolic Cleanser 12% https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/skinstitut/skinstitut-glycolic-cleanser-12.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast

Neat 3B Action Cream
Calmmé anti-chafe & soothing cream
Missy Massy Leopard Petti-pants

Everything you need to know about coloured hair:

King of futureproof hair colour himself, and owner of Edwards&Co salons, Jaye Edwards joins us to chat colour (of course).

What factors actually cause colour fading? Are there certain things we're doing to our hair that are impacting our colour? What's the deal with colour protection products? Are toners necessary?

And Jaye tells us why you shouldn't use your purple shampoo every wash.

Sulfates (SLS, or sodium lauryl sulfate on the ingredient list) are completely safe to use, but may not be suitable for coloured or keratin-treated hair or people with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea. Sulfates are a detergent designed to cleanse the hair which can cause your colour to fade prematurely although the scientific evidence of such effects is mixed. You can learn more about sulfates here: https://www.healthline.com/health/sulfate-in-shampoo

The products Jaye mentions in this episode include:

Ep 51: Identifying & Fixing An Impaired Barrier

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 21:00:00 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

On this list of things we don't recommend: Ear candling

Ear wax accumulation is one of the most common otologic conditions seen in primary care; removing ear wax is the most common ears, nose, and throat procedure carried out in the community.

No evidence is available to suggest that ear candles are an effective treatment for any condition.

While we don't recommend trying this at home, at least now we know what ear candling involves!

What's the deal with impaired barriers?

Paramedical Skin Therapist, Nutritionist and Cosmetic Chemist in the making, Katy Bacon joins us to chat about impaired barriers - how to tell if you have one, how to fix it and what ingredients you should avoid or add to your routine.

Are sheet masks for your vagina a bit ridiculous?

We test drove these new vagina sheet masks so you didn't have to...and the verdict is, well, it's not really necessary - and the Shameless girls agreed.

Also, if gynaecologists don't recommend it, then neither do we, but we're willing to get a yeast infection if it's for content.

Martha K On Face Tan, Going Blonde & Applying For MAFS

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 21:00:00 +0000

Welcome to another BONUS episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored.

This week's bonus guest is Martha Kalifatidis (@marthaa__k) who you might remember from Married At First Sight, or you might just follow her on Instagram for her beauty content.

One of our favourite interviews yet, we chat to Martha about managing online trolls, what the process has been like of going from dark brown to blonde, why she loves skincare so much, and whether or not Hannah should apply for the next season of MAFS.

Martha also shares her PWDKWN which is a product we didn't see coming, and shares which professional treatment has got her looking "snatched". Oh, and we also discovered Jo and Martha are obsessed with the same shampoo which you can shop here: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/iles-formula/iles-formula-haute-performance-shampoo-200ml.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast

Ep 45: The Lowdown On Vitamin C

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 21:14:01 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Toenail fungus update:

The update none of you asked for - Hannah's finally got on top of her toenail fungus so we're here to share how she did it, and to give a not to subtle plug to unofficial show sponsor, Chemist Warehouse (that's a joke, they do not sponsor us in any capacity).

Hannah used a product called Rejuvenail which is available in pharmacies, and as always, we recommend seeing a GP for advice on medical conditions.

Everything you need to know about Vitamin C:

We asked Brooke Child, Clinical Educator at Advanced Skin Technology, for the complete lowdown on Vitamin C.

What are the benefits? What are the pitfalls? What skin types is it best for? And most importantly, we found out which Vitamin C has Brooke's heart - it's the Société Triple C Vitamin Therapy Serum which you can shop below:

Samantha Harris On Single-Ingredient Skincare

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +0000

Barely even a teenager when she was signed to a top modelling agency, Samantha Harris was jetting around Australia and the world appearing on runways and magazine covers before even finishing school.

We chat to Sam about what it was like growing up as a well-known model in Tweed Heads, being the second Indigenous model to appear on the cover of Vogue, how she deals with online trolls, and of course we chat about her new role as an ambassador for single-ingredient skincare brand, Biologi.

Ep 43: Are Eye Creams Even Necessary?

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Firstly, if you haven't stalked Jo's Wish segment on Instagram you should - here's the link to the highlight: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17843841206118346/

Cold sores. Ever had one?

We asked our new resident GP @todaywithdrlucia to share some info around what causes cold sores, how to avoid them and what you should do when you feel that familiar tingle starting to come up! Oh, and forget the home remedies.

We'd love to hear your inconvenient cold sore stories (especially if you got one on your wedding day!). Hit us up via Instagram @adorebeauty.

You can follow Dr Lucinda Raudaschl here: https://www.instagram.com/todaywithdrlucia/

Are eye creams actually necessary?

The answer will honestly surprise you - it certainly surprised us!

We asked Dr Natasha Cook from Darlinghurst Dermatology her thoughts on eye creams, their place in your routine, which ingredients work best for eye concerns, and chatted about some more invasive procedures as well.

You can find Dr Natasha Cook on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/drnatashacook/

But Jo and Hannah are unlikely to be deterred from their excessive skincare routines. Hannah is currently using Cosmedix Opti Crystal- Liquid Crystal Eye Serum and Jo is using Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector (which she concedes is the ONLY eye products that's ever worked on her dark circles).

Ep 42: How To Get Rid Of Milia

Sun, 12 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Milia..aka one of our most requested topics.

We did touch on this topic in our last episode of 2019, but we figured since we've had SO many questions about it, that we'd cover it in a whole segment.

The moral of the story is, don't try to extract them yourself!

Undertones & Foundation Shade Matching

@tanyaartistry joins us to chat about undertones - how do you know which undertone you are? And does that impact your shade?

We discuss our fave brands with expansive shade ranges, including M.A.C, NARS and Make Up For Ever (Tanya loves the Ultra HD Stick Foundation), and Tanya tells us what it was like being trained by Rihanna's makeup artist.

Hung shares the secret behind a flawless red lip in photos, exactly how he takes such good Instagram pics, and tells us how to create long-lasting event makeup so it doesn't slide off.

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Ear Infections

Did you know there's such a thing as airplane ear? Neither did we! Jo and Hannah share their worst travel ear infection stories. Hannah continues to manifest her dream of moving to Thailand and Jo shares an awkward travel story involving an ex-boyfriend.

If you suspect you have an ear infection we don't recommend DM'ing Jo on Instagram, please head to your local GP ;)

Teeth Whitening

Dentist Madeleine Duff joins us to discuss all things teeth whitening, and we learnt a new dentistry term: "Zingers". We also learnt that even dentists drink red wine through a straw.

Hannah, of course, orders her whitening syringes on Amazon, but you can get yours from your local dentist.

You can follow Madeleine on Instagram or in person at Toorak Fine Dentistry.

Caroline Hirons On Her Ride Or Die Skincare Ingredients

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 22:51:00 +0000

MAJOR BUCKET LIST MOMENT!

UK-based skincare expert/the Oprah of skincare, Caroline Hirons joins us to chat about why face wipes should only be for fannies, flights and festivals, her favourite skincare ingredients, the products she'd take to a deserted island (shock horror, she doesn't choose SPF!), and the things her daughter Ava steals from her beauty stash.

Caroline's new book, Skin Care: The Ultimate No-Nonsense Guide is available via Harper Collins, and in Jo's opinion, is an excellent resource for skincare education if you're wanting to learn more about products, ingredients, myths and topics.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

How to properly pop a pimple...or not.

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

What is endometriosis?

Not our usual silly cringey convo, today Dr Raelia Lew joins us to discuss endometriosis. A common female condition that affects 1 in 10 women. We chat about the condition, what causes it and how it can be treated, because this is just another one of those things we don't really talk about.

Dr Raelia Lew's qualifications are listed below:

CREI (fertility subspecialist) at Melbourne IVF
FRANZCOG (gynaecologist)
Director of Women’s Health Melbourne
PhD in reproductive genetics
Masters Degree in Reproductive health Science and Human Genetics
Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne Medical School

Welcome, Matthew!

The silent third member of our podcast, Matthew (our editor) joins us so we can grill him about how much he's learnt from editing Beauty IQ Uncensored.

There's mention of bowel movements, SPF and his least favourite episode, plus we found out that he has an interesting editing technique - and this is definitely his favourite job. We didn't pay him to say that...actually, we kind of did?

Elle Macpherson On Wellbeing, Workouts & WelleCo

Tue, 12 May 2020 21:00:00 +0000

With bated breath, we waited to hear the noise notification that Elle Macpherson had joined our podcast recording, and as that noise sounded in our ears we both let out half giggles/sighs of relief as we heard a friendly, familiar voice on the other end.

Speaking to one of the world's more famous supermodels isn't usually what you'll find us doing at 7:00am on a Wednesday morning, but that's what we found ourselves doing last week - something Hannah and I will both be listing as a career highlight for years to come.

Elle's candid approach to our interview not only opened up discussions around routines, managing mental health, and her Vogue cover with sons Flynn and Cy in 2019, but we also discussed her The Body workout with Karen Voight which Hannah used to follow on VHS.

To learn more about the WelleCo products Elle uses daily, see here: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/beautyiq/podcasts/elle-macpherson-on-wellbeing-workouts-and-welleco/

Why is Alpha-H's Liquid Gold so popular?

It's one of our best-selling skincare products out of around 11,000 products on site - but what actually makes this glycolic treatment so damn popular?

Ep 31: Professional VS Supermarket Haircare

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 21:00:00 +0000

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

How regularly are you washing your bra?

According to Reader's Digest, you should wash your bra every 3 to 4 wears - we discuss what happens when you don't wash them regularly enough, and circle back to not washing our feet. DM us if you're also a little slack with washing your bras!

Is professional haircare really worth the price?

We asked Natalie Anne whether salon-quality haircare really is better than the supermarket stuff, what ingredients to avoid in your products, and her best haircare hacks.

One of Nat's favourite ranges is O&M: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/o-m-original-mineral.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast

The optimum styling temperature is 185 degrees. See ghd's research here: https://www.ghdhair.com/articles/dispelling-the-heat-styling-myth

Removing Your SNS/Shellac At Home:

Jo shares the right technique for removing nail enhancements, courtesy of Chelsea from Trophy Wife Nail Art, and Jenna from The Beauty Company.

This is the most important step in your skincare routine:

Ep 3: A Cosmetic Nurse Answers Our Injectables Questions

Fri, 30 Aug 2019 02:00:00 +0000

It's a controversial topic this week... but we think it's an important one! Beauty IQ Uncensored is brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Body odour:

For this week's cringy convo, we talk about making the switch to natural deodorant. Joanna's natural pick: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/hunter-lab/hunter-lab-natural-deodorant-75g.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast

And then somehow, we get onto the topic of farts. Because this is a very serious, science-y podcast.

A cosmetic nurse answers all our questions about injectables:

We know this is a touchy subject, but we think it's an important one to talk about. Why? Because, as our guest says, "These are medical procedures. We're not colouring our hair, we're not getting our nails done. If something goes wrong, it can be a medical emergency."

Joanna uses this LED Light for the bruising on her lips (and her butt, for that matter):

Ep 2: The Anti-Ageing Ingredient Everyone Should Be Using

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 05:41:03 +0000

We're back, Beauties! Beauty IQ Uncensored is brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Feminine hygiene wash:

In this week's cringy convo, we answer Hannah's burning question... Is feminine hygiene wash safe to use? She uses it, she loves it, and she's not ready to give it up. So we call a gynae to get the lowdown.

The anti-ageing ingredient everyone should be using:

For this segment Daniel Isaacs, Chief Product Officer at Medik8, came ALL the way from England to tell us all about our personal fave, Vitamin A, which you might also know as retinol. Joking, he was already in the country, and stopped by the studio to tell us what it is, why it's the gold standard of skincare and why you can start using it at any age.

Daniel also reveals his simple yet powerful skincare regime, and we totally respect a man who has a kick-ass routine.

Laser hair removal:

Literally no topic is off limits here at Beauty IQ Uncensored. So for our very first segment, which we like to call our “cringy convo”, we are talking about all things hair removal. Hair removal is really up to personal preference, but if you’re thinking about laser, then you need to listen to this. We cover brazillians and bum hair, paradoxical growth, facial hair (yep, Joanna has sideburns), PCOS, nipple hair and how to soothe your skin post-treatment, using Skinstitut Laser Aid: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/skinstitut/skinstitut-laser-aid.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast

Everything you wanted to know about serums:

After the sexy stuff, it’s onto the exciting stuff! As Joanna says, “My face lights up when people are like ‘skincare's exciting’. I'm like I know welcome to my world!

We get questions ALL the time about serums. And we get it… Serums are bloody confusing. So we’ve created a little guide to help you get started and choose the right ingredient for your skin type.

Here are our top picks for each ingredient (all available at adorebeauty.com.au):
