Beauty IQ Uncensored

This week on Uncensored, we discuss the rise in consumer fatigue over complicated beauty routines, never-ending product releases, and the social pressure to keep up with self-care. Is this overconsumption causing mass burnout?   Putting mindfulness first, we chat through the rituals that actually make us feel good, redefining the 'everything shower' in more holistic terms. Think cleansing, sensory stimulation and breathwork. Of course, there are a few beauty tools we love and recommend that help us stay zen.   The beauty of sleep? Melissa recounts her two-day trip away from her son, Joey. And spoiler: it involved a good night's rest.   Everything mentioned: Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo Therabody Theraface LED Mask   Submit your Beauty IQ Hotline questions and Build My Cart challenges for Hannah and Mel @adorebeauty on IG.

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?

Skin therapist Tegan explains the differences between AM and PM routines, breaking down what products to use, when to use them, and why.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
