This week on Expert, Tegan is back from Italy and has plenty to report! She's had some unforgettable deli snacks, a pretty good plane ride with a baby, and schooled herself on all things advanced CO2 lasers.

Next up, it's time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and today it's one of TikTok's most talked-about wellness trends: mouth taping. Tegan and Sadaf break down what it is, why people are doing it, and whether it's actually worth adding to your bedtime routine.

Then, if you've ever looked at your skincare shelf and wondered whether you're accidentally using five products that do the same thing, listen up. It's a deep dive into skincare actives, from how to identify them in your products, which combinations can cause issues, and how to simplify your skincare routine, getting the same great results with less steps.

Finally, an Adore Anonymous listener needs help. They're devoted to hot pilates but worried that all that heat and sweat is leaving their hair dry, brittle and lacking shine. The team shares their favourite tips for protecting hair health while keeping up an active lifestyle, along with the products they recommend to restore moisture and strength.
