MAJOR BUCKET LIST MOMENT!

UK-based skincare expert/the Oprah of skincare, Caroline Hirons joins us to chat about why face wipes should only be for fannies, flights and festivals, her favourite skincare ingredients, the products she'd take to a deserted island (shock horror, she doesn't choose SPF!), and the things her daughter Ava steals from her beauty stash.

Caroline's new book, Skin Care: The Ultimate No-Nonsense Guide is available via Harper Collins, and in Jo's opinion, is an excellent resource for skincare education if you're wanting to learn more about products, ingredients, myths and topics.

Caroline Hirons On Her Ride Or Die Skincare Ingredients

This week onExpert, Sadaf is joined by a guest and friend of the podcast, dermal clinician Yads Cauchi! 

First up: Win, Bin or Recycle tackles the divisive world of stick-on bras. Are they secretly genius, or just one sweaty panic attack waiting to happen? The girls cover internet-famous brands you should know about, including a few surprising buys.

Then, Yads breaks down how to manage textured skin as we head into winter, from congestion and roughness to those tiny bumps that makeup seems determined to highlight. She shares her favourite ways to use glycolic acid, including a few sneaky uses beyond your face that might completely change your body care routine.

And finally, a listener asks: what is actually going on with peptides? Are they harmful, or is TikTok spiralling again? Sadaf and Yads explain the difference between the controversial ingestible peptides making headlines and the skin-loving peptides found in your skincare.

Products mentioned:
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
Alpha-H Liquid Gold Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Treatment

The Lesser-Known Skincare Products That Should Be Famous

This week on Expert, Tegan is jetting off to Italy for a beauty training program, but before she leaves, Mel shares her best tips for vintage shopping in Italy!

Then it’s time for a divisive round of Win, Bin or Recycle: veneers. Are they the ultimate confidence-boosting dental upgrade, or are we heading toward a future where everyone has the same ultra-bright 'Barbie teeth'? Mel and Tegan unpack the veneer boom, what makes good veneers look natural, and when cosmetic dentistry can go very wrong.

Plus, Tegan is making a very passionate case for bringing toner back into your skincare routine. Forget the harsh, stinging formulas of the early 2000s! Today’s toners can hydrate, calm, exfoliate and support your skin barrier. She shares her favourite toner recommendations for every skin type and concern, whether you’re dry, oily, sensitive or dealing with breakouts.

And in this week’s listener question, the team help someone struggling with crepey under eyes. From dehydration and irritation to concealer mishaps and fine lines, Mel and Tegan break down what could be causing that creased texture and the products and techniques that can help smooth things out.

Products mentioned:
Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner
Alpha-H Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment
Osmosis Skincare Blemish Prone Balance Botanical Activating Mist 
Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist
Bioderma Sensibio AR+ SOS Spray
Cosmedix Purity Balance Exfoliating Prep Toner
Anua Peach 77% Niacin Conditioning Milk
Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads 
Cosmedix Opti-Crystal Liquid Crystal Eye Serum
Cosmedix Elite Eye Doctor Eye Serum
