Beauty IQ Uncensored

Summer is officially on Mel and Tegan's minds, and they're kicking things off by sharing their favourite scents of the season. From nostalgic summer smells to the slightly weird ones they can't get enough of, it's a very fragrant trip down memory lane.
Then, we're introducing a brand-new segment: Before Pay Day, After Pay Day! This week, we're talking skin-saving balms, from a clinician-loved option for sensitised and post-treatment skin to two budget-friendly alternatives that won't leave your bank account crying.
Next, Dr Imaan Joshi from Skin Essentials Clinic joins us to bust some of the biggest myths about cosmetic injectables. Does your body eventually get used to Botox? Does dermal filler really dissolve completely? And what else have we been getting wrong about injectables? Dr Joshi sets the record straight.
And finally, in Products We Didn't Know We Needed, Mel and Tegan have two very different discoveries: a beauty supplement drink that actually tastes delicious, and a luxe hair mask that'll leave your hair smelling so good, people might just stop you in the street.

This week on Uncensored, Zara Larsson doesn’t use primer OR setting spray! Naturally, Tegan wants to put her makeup routine to the test. We’re talking her concealer technique, the viral powder she swears by and whether skipping those extra steps actually works.

Tegan also tried the DEKA RedTouch laser treatment and predicts it could be the next big thing in Australia. Watch this space!

And speaking of skin treatments, what happens after you’ve left the clinic? Tegan takes us through how to recover from treatments as quickly as possible, including what to do, what definitely not to do, and the products that can help calm things down so you look like Samantha post-peel in Sex and the City for as little time as possible.

And in PWDKWN, Mel has found a glowy base she reckons has beaten a certain brand’s hyped Highlight Milk, while Tegan is finally aboard the ColorWow train thanks to a product giving her some seriously good root volume.

Then, it’s time for Win, Bin, Recycle, and this week silk and satin bonnets are under the BeautyIQ microscope. Who actually needs one? Do they really help with frizz and breakage? And are they worth adding to your bedtime routine? Tegan and Sadaf dive into it all.
Next, Tegan is bringing us everything we need to know about managing oily skin... without stripping away all those important natural oils in the process. Yes, it is possible to balance excess oil and keep the shine at bay without leaving your skin feeling tight and dry.

This week on Uncensored, Mel has an important question for Tegan: back in her dating days, did she ever use a date’s roommate’s beauty products? The team discuss whether helping yourself to someone else’s expensive shampoo or moisturiser is fair game, or a serious violation of girl code.
Then, Mel has a dermaplaning hack for We Tried It, although Tegan is leaning more towards We Bin It, because she’d quite happily bin the entire at-home dermaplaning process. Mel, however, will not be tamed.
Next, Tegan is future-proofing our faces with a guide to skincare through the decades. What should we be prioritising in our 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond if we want to set our skin up for the future? She breaks down what matters at every age, and what you probably don’t need to stress about just yet.
Finally, it’s PWDKWN. Tegan has found a very '90s lip combo she can’t stop wearing, while Mel has a liquid exfoliator that manages to smooth skin without that uncomfortable tingly feeling, and hydrates at the same time.

Then, it’s time for Win, Bin, Recycle, and we’re tackling the divisive beauty etiquette question: should you turn up to the hairdresser with really dirty hair? Tegan and Sadaf weigh in.
And with the weather warming up and spring finally here, we’re talking all things sunscreen. Tegan answers your questions on how much you should be applying, when to apply it and where SPF fits into your routine.
Finally, we’re deep-diving into one listener question we know plenty of you have wondered about: is the sunscreen in your makeup actually enough?
