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?

Everything Mentioned:

• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ 40ml
• Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Water Cleanser
• Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil
• Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré

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...

Everything Mentioned:

• Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash
• Trudon Vixi Liquid soap 350ml
• HERMÈS Les Mains Hermès, Nail Files
• DIOR Oblique Eye-Patches x 5
• Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery Powerfoil Mask - 4 Mask
• BDK Parfums Eau de Lessive 1L
• HERMÈS Barénia, Perfumed Body Cream, 200ml

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?

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.

Everything Mentioned:

• The Independent | It may sound silly, but physicians say farting on the street following a meal can help to improve long-term health. Read more by clicking... | Instagram
• EAR ALCHEMY™ | Piercing, Styling, Aftercare – SARAH & SEBASTIAN
• Breville Eco 2-in-1 Cleaner & Descaler
• Damp Rid Disposable Moisture Absorber

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.

Everything Mentioned:

• Make Up For Ever Aqua Resist Color Ink
• Gem Triple Whitening Toothpaste
• hismile Flavoured Toothpaste 60g
• Murad Blemish Control Retexturizing Body Pads

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.

Everything Mentioned:

• Butter Skin Skincare Trend Explained
• Anya Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream
• The Jojoba Company Australian Jojoba 200ml
• Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Nourishing Cleansing Shower Oil
• La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Dermallergo Serum
• Murad Intesne Recovery Cream

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.

Everything Mentioned:

• Blinc Mascara Amplified
• Clinique High Impact Zero Gravity Mascara
• MCoBeauty XtendLash Tubing Mascara
• Cetaphil Healthy Renew Revitalising Eye Serum 15ml
• Adore Beauty Tools of The Trade 7-Piece Brush Set
