Beauty IQ Uncensored

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

Hot Flushes

To discuss hot flushes, we're joined by two very special guests of the show. None other, than our resident GP Dr Lucinda, and * drumroll *... Linda! (Hannah's mum). Linda talks us through what it's like to experience hot flushes, and Dr Lucinda breaks down the facts for us.

Cleansers:

One of our regulars and all-time favourite dermal therapist Yadira Cauchi joins us to discuss cleansing. Although it sometimes seen as the least exciting part of a skincare routine, it is an absolutely vital step. Yads runs us through the best method for cleansing, as well as few of her favourite products.

Yads is also co-hosting the latest series on Bite-Sized Beauty, Dermal Diaries.

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2025, and we’re kicking things off with a fresh set of beauty resolutions. Hosts Sadaf and Tegan share their personal goals for the year, from better cleansing habits to breaking bad beauty habits (cough sleeping in makeup).

WIN, BIN OR RECYCLE? Holding Onto Old Eyeshadow Palettes.

We’ve all been there—holding on to eyeshadow palettes that we might use again someday. But is it time to let go? This week’s Win, Bin, or Recycle tackles the case of the unused palettes lurking in your stash. Should you keep them for nostalgia, repurpose them, or finally say goodbye?

What Are Celebrities Doing to Their Faces in 2025?

Celebrity transformations have always been a hot topic, but in 2025, the game has changed. Welcome to beauty's "undetectable era," where treatments and tweakments deliver subtle yet striking results that leave us questioning–what's their secret? Skin Therapist Tegan speculates on the potential procedures behind their seemingly overnight glow-ups, from advanced skin boosters to the latest in non-invasive rejuvenation.

Adore Anonymous: Can You Layer Vitamin C and Other Serums?

This week, a listener asks about layering vitamin C serums with slightly oily textures alongside other treatments. Does it go on first, or should it be skipped altogether? Tegan clarifies the dos and don’ts of serum layering and shares her tips for keeping your routine effective without fuss.

In this week’s Expert episode, things are getting chilly – but your skincare doesn’t have to suffer. Skin therapist and co-host Tegan busts some of winter’s biggest skin myths: Do you still need SPF in June? Is it time to ditch exfoliants? And does dry skin really mean you need to slather on the thickest cream in your stash?

Before that, in Win, Bin or Recycle, the girls weigh in on the growing trend of “raw-dogging” your toner with bare hands. (Spoiler: it’s a win for the skin, but perhaps not your bathroom floor.)

Next up: Adore Anonymous drops a beauty bomb: Can moisturiser actually replace your cleanser when removing makeup? Our hosts separate fact from fiction.

Plus, producer Jas gives an update on her wedding skin journey, and the team shares their top skin barrier savers and affordable winter product picks under $100.

From hot shower mistakes to misunderstood hydration hacks, this ep will have your winter skin covered – literally.
