Plus, we bust common Vitamin A myths, including whether it actually thins your skin and if it’s safe to use in summer.

  This week on Uncensored, we’re diving nose-first into the world of scent, from newborn heads and fireplace smoke to… whole-body deodorant. We kick off with a chat about things that smell good but aren’t perfume before getting into the week’s Cringey Convo: the rise of whole-body deodorant. Are we over-sanitising ourselves? Or just chasing freshness a little too far? Then, we sit down with Dr Chris Callewaert — better known as Dr Armpit — one of the world’s leading odour researchers, to unpack: What actually causes body odour (hint: it’s your bacteria’s fault) Why some people smell stronger than others What happens to our natural scent after pregnancy And whether deodorant is secretly messing with your microbiome Plus, we share our favourite products for staying fresh without smelling like Lynx Africa — from gentle feminine washes and gel deodorants to bougie room sprays and minty mouthwash that actually works.

• 371. The 20s Skincare Guide: Preventative Products & Ingredients to Use, According to a Skin Therapist

  This week on Beauty IQ Expert, we’re diving into preventative skincare: the products, ingredients, and routines to start in your 20s to keep skin healthy, radiant, and resilient for years to come. Skin therapist Tegan explains why prevention is smarter (and cheaper) than reversing damage later, covering SPF, hydration, antioxidants, and barrier support. From daily sunscreen to antioxidant serums and gentle exfoliation, we break down the must-dos, nice-to-dos, and the mistakes to avoid. We also answer an Adore Anonymous dilemma: the sweaty underboob — is there a skincare-safe fix? In Win, Bin or Recycle, we explore preventative injectables, weighing what’s trending and what’s worth your time. Plus, co-host Sadaf spills the best tips from skincare royalty Melanie Grant after sitting down with her at the Adore Beauty event.

• 370. Cosmetic Treatment Myths & What’s Actually Worth It With Dr Phoebe Jones

  This week on Uncensored, we’re diving into the wild world of cosmetic treatments: the myths, the regrets, and the reality behind what’s “in” and what’s out in 2025. From Reddit threads questioning whether we’ll one day look back at filler and BBLs like we do tanning beds, to TikTok’s obsession with “baby botox” and skin boosters, the beauty landscape is shifting fast. Hannah and Mel share their predictions (think: suntans and anti-aging culture might not age well), before sitting down with Sydney cosmetic doctor Dr Phoebe Jones to separate fact from fearmongering. Dr Phoebe breaks down the biggest treatment shifts of the past year, why the “natural look” is officially here to stay, and what you really need to know before booking your first tweakment. She also shares the red flags to look for in a clinic, what transparency should look like in a good consultation, and her golden rule for cosmetic treatments in 2025. In Stuff We Love, we’re talking cosmetic prep — the soothing, derm-approved products that keep your skin happy post-laser, peel, or treatment.

• 369. How Often Should You Exfoliate Your Scalp? And Other Forgotten Skin

  This week on Beauty IQ Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are shining a light on the body parts we too often forget — starting with your scalp. We spend so much time caring for the skin on our face, but what about our scalp, ears, elbows, and chest? Skin Therapist Tegan breaks down why scalp exfoliation is trending for all the right reasons, from improving scalp health and reducing build-up to helping your haircare products actually work harder. You’ll also learn how to care for those often-overlooked areas (and why your elbows deserve more love than they get). In Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re talking celebrity skincare brands. The hits, the misses, and the ones that actually earn their spot in your routine (no shade, just facts). Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks the million-dollar question: Does exfoliating your scalp really make your hair grow faster, or is that just marketing? And if you’ve ever fallen in love with a product sample — same. We share the ones that turned into full-size obsessions, including a volumising paste you’ll want, immediately.
