Where do you start when building a men’s skincare routine? Are lip tattoos actually worth the hype? And what can new mums do about postpartum hair loss? This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are covering practical beauty advice for real life, from on-the-go essentials to the hair changes that can happen after having a baby. First up, if you’ve ever realised you forgot deodorant, lip balm or a hair tie right when you needed it most, you’re probably not Tegan, who runs us through her extensive 'car beauty must-haves'. Then, for Win, Bin, Recycle, it’s all about cosmetic lip tattoos. They’re back and all over social media, promising long-lasting colour without the constant reapplication. Do they actually work? We break down how lip tattoo products work, who they’re best suited for and whether they’re a beauty hack worth trying – or one to skip. Then, it’s a men’s intervention. If you’ve got a guy in your life (or you’re a male listener keen for a skincare refresh), we’ve got you covered. Tegan and Sadaf run through a straightforward men’s grooming routine, covering the essential products that make the biggest difference, from cleanser and moisturiser to shaving essentials and SPF. There are plenty of product recs in the mix, too! Then on Adore Anon, this week’s listener question comes from a new mum experiencing postpartum hair shedding. We explain why it happens, how long it typically lasts, and share haircare tips and product recommendations that can help support your hair through the annoying regrowth phase.
