Beauty IQ Uncensored

In this episode, Tegan and Sadaf dive into one of the wildest beauty trends of 2025—salmon sperm skincare. PDRN (a DNA-derived ingredient from salmon sperm) is becoming a major player in beauty products, from under-eye injections to topical skincare and even medical treatments for skin repair. But what exactly is PDRN, how does it work, and should we be adding it to our routines? The hosts break it all down and explore whether it's worth your attention. Plus, in this week's Adore Anon, the duo answers a listener's question about why ingrown hairs get worse in the heat and how to effectively tackle them.
