From Parisian pharmacies to the local laser clinic — we’re talking French skincare staples and laser FAQs in this week's Expert episode. We kick off with a Bastille Day-inspired chat about our all-time favourite French pharmacy buys (think: Bioderma, Cicaplast, Nuxe). Then, it’s time to talk lasers.

As a skin therapist and laser tech, Tegan’s heard it all, from “Can I laser bruises?” to “Can you laser nipple hair?” Today, we’re breaking down exactly what you can (and can’t) treat with lasers. From pigmentation and spider veins to acne scars and body hair in unexpected places (yes, even your toes), we bust myths, explain how lasers work for different skin tones, and share the prep and aftercare rules you really need to follow.

Later, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks: Are fragrance-free products always better for sensitive skin? Plus, we weigh in on social media's “Collagen Banking” for this week'sWin, Bin or Recycle – is it a legit preventative strategy, or just another beauty buzzword?

Everything Mentioned:
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ 40ml
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Soothing Micellar Water Cleanser
Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré 
NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi Purpose Dry Oil

Beauty IQ Uncensored

From cult French pharmacy finds to the facts (and fiction) of laser treatments — this week on Expert, we’re talking about the beauty staples worth knowing. Tegan shares her inside knowledge as a former laser tech: what lasers can actually treat, the myths that won’t die, and why skin tone and timing matter more than you think. Plus, we weigh in on the buzzy concept of “collagen banking” in Win, Bin or Recycle, and answer an Adore Anonymous on whether fragrance-free skincare is always safer for sensitive skin.
