Forget everything you think you know about island life. When model and content creator Lyndl Kean signed up for the upcoming season of Australian Survivor Redemption, she knew it would be tough—but she probably didn't imagine she’d be trading her skincare for bits of sharpened bamboo and pipi shells.

In today's episode of The Formula, Lyndl joins Kelly to peel back the curtain on the "beauty" reality of the island. From the strict five-item packing limit (and why she ditched undies to make room for a hoodie) to the hacks the contestants used to stay groomed without a single razor or mirror in sight. This is your ultimate Survivor beauty survival guide!
