384. It’s Time We Spoke About Sunscreen-Gate
Description
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.
