Win, Bin or Recycle: Baby Powder?

Hydration Hacking: Legit or Beauty BS?

AA: How Many Skincare Steps Do I Need?

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:
K18 HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant


SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier


Vida Glow Pro Collagen +


Sodii Everyday Hydration Salts - Tub - Unflavoured


Vitadrop Rapid Hydration Sugar Free - 30 Serves


Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™

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.
