We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty. 

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Dr Michelle Rodrigues sent in her expert opinion on that darkened skin that sometimes pops up under your arms and around your groin. She explains (as translated by Jo) what causes it, who's most prone to it, and how it can be treated. Remember, if it's a medical thing, see a doctor.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Dr Abbie from Zhong Centre joins us to discuss all things Chinese medicine, including cosmetic acupuncture which Jo went and had done recently. We discover why Jo walked out with two hickeys on her neck after her treatment, and what results she should expect to see.

Beauty IQ Uncensored

Ep 71: How Does Cosmetic Acupuncture Work?

This week on Uncensored, is beauty entering its soft face era? Tegan and Mel have noticed a growing number of celebrities hitting the red carpet with barely-there makeup, and sometimes, no mascara at all. Is the full-glam era officially on the way out, and are we ready to embrace our natural lashes?

Mel has also discovered a new favourite TLC treatment after visiting NAP Head Spa in Sydney. Think scalp care, relaxation and a very serious dose of self-care. Has Mel finally found her ultimate beauty indulgence?

Then, friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi is back to talk us through the concept of a moisturiser wardrobe. Because why should we have just one moisturiser? Yads explains why different skin needs, seasons, and situations call for different formulas, plus she shares the moisturisers she reaches for herself.

Mel has found her new overnight lip treatment, and it's one she wasn't expecting to love, and Tegan has a sheet mask that's her new go-to before a night out.

Products mentioned:
Aspect Probiotic Mask
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
Bioderma Sensibio Collection
Bioderma Hydrabio Collection
Aspect Gentle Clean
CeraVe Advanced Repair Balm
Skinceuticals Ultra Facial Defence SPF50+
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Citrus Sunshine
Laneige Cream Skin Milky Hydration Sheet Mask

You're Missing Out If You Don't Have a 'Moisturiser Wardrobe'

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are putting their beauty budgets to the test. They reveal the categories they’re happy to splurge on, where they prefer to save, plus all the products they’re loving right now.

Then, it’s time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and the team is divided over... voice notes. Are they a cute way to stay connected or just plain annoying?

Plus, Tegan makes the case for giving your ‘neck and dec’, aka neck and décolletage, a little more love. These often-forgotten areas get plenty of sun exposure and can show signs of premature ageing, so are we really giving them the skincare attention they deserve?

Maybelline New York Surreal Extensions Mascara
e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation
Medik8 Crystal Retinal
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
Maybelline New York Super Lock Brow Glue Gel
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+
Viviology Ceramide Moisturiser
SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore Moisturiser
Huda Beauty Blush Filter
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Davines Oi Shampoo

Yes, Your Neck & Decolletage Deserve Skincare Too

This week on Uncensored, Mel’s got a dry lips hack from... 1911? Yep, you read that right. She’s unearthed an old-school beauty trick that might just be the answer to your chronically cracked lips.

Plus, Tegan and Mel are officially converts to exfoliating body lotions. And before you assume they’re only for tackling body acne, think again. These multitasking formulas can be absolute miracle workers for dry, rough skin.

Then, Dr Phoebe Jones from Beauty By Doctor is back, this time to demystify blephs, aka blepharoplasty. Is eyelid surgery really as scary as it sounds? What does the procedure involve, what kind of results can you expect, and just how much downtime is there?

For PWDKWN, Tegan has a laundry product that is about to blow your mind, particularly if you’re a messy cook. Meanwhile, Mel has returned to a foundation she initially wasn’t sold on, but has since become her go-to for weekend, no-makeup makeup.

And finally, Tegan has a skin treatment recommendation for Mel, who is 40 and has never had one before. Will she be convinced to finally give it a go?

Products mentioned:
PCA Body Therapy Moisturiser
CeraVe SA Smoothing Cream
Alpha-H Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment
Some By Mi AHA PHA BHA Miracle Calming Lotion
Make Up For Ever HD Skin Hydraglow Foundation
