This week, Tegan and Sadaf are diving into the science of pH—what it is, why it matters, and how it can make or break your skincare routine. If you’ve ever wondered whether your cleanser is too harsh, why some products claim to be “pH-balanced,” or if your skin’s pH could be the reason for irritation, this episode has the answers.

But first—Win, Bin, or Recycle? We're debating the ultimate bathroom upgrade: bidets. Life-changing hygiene essential or unnecessary splash zone? You decide.

Plus, we tackle an Adore Anonymous question about the dreaded red wine flush—what’s causing it and whether there’s anything you can actually do about it.

And don’t forget—next week, we’re revealing our producer Jas’sVISIA skin scan results (spoiler: one side of her face is five years older than the other!).

Products Mentioned:
DIOR Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
MCoBeauty XtendLash Tubing Mascara
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup Foundation
Maybelline New York The Falsies Surreal Extensions Mascara

Beauty IQ Uncensored

In this episode, Tegan and Sadaf break down the science of pH and why it’s crucial for healthy skin. From stripping cleansers to buzzy pH-adaptive makeup, we’re unpacking how your products impact your skin’s natural balance—and how to tell if your pH is out of whack.  But first, in Win, Bin, or Recycle?, we’re debating the controversial bathroom upgrade: bidets. Are they a game-changer or just a wet mess?  Then, in Adore Anonymous, we answer a listener’s question about red wine flush—why it happens and what (if anything) you can do about it.  And don’t forget—next week, we’re revealing our producer Jas’s VISIA skin scan results, including the surprising five-year age difference between the sides of her face!
