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...

Firstly, if you haven't stalked Jo's Wish segment on Instagram you should - here's the link to the highlight: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17843841206118346/

Cold sores. Ever had one?

We asked our new resident GP @todaywithdrlucia to share some info around what causes cold sores, how to avoid them and what you should do when you feel that familiar tingle starting to come up! Oh, and forget the home remedies.

We'd love to hear your inconvenient cold sore stories (especially if you got one on your wedding day!). Hit us up via Instagram @adorebeauty.

Are eye creams actually necessary?

The answer will honestly surprise you - it certainly surprised us!

We asked Dr Natasha Cook from Darlinghurst Dermatology her thoughts on eye creams, their place in your routine, which ingredients work best for eye concerns, and chatted about some more invasive procedures as well.

But Jo and Hannah are unlikely to be deterred from their excessive skincare routines. Hannah is currently using Cosmedix Opti Crystal- Liquid Crystal Eye Serum and Jo is using Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector (which she concedes is the ONLY eye products that's ever worked on her dark circles).

Khloe Kardashian is celebrating her 40th with the launch of her debut fragrance, XO Khloé, and teasing an exciting podcast project in a ~spicy~ Bustle cover story. Fabulous at 40? Without a doubt. But is it a true reflection of what 40 really looks like? Writers and co-hosts Hannah and Mel have some thoughts to share.

Cringey Convo: How Often Are We Actually Washing Our Bras?

Attention, bra-wearers: How often should you really be washing your bras? You might be surprised by the answer. Is there a difference between washing your t-shirt bras versus delicate lace ones? And do smaller busts get away with washing less? We dive into this age-old debate.

Is "Lip Blush" Tattoo The New Filler? We Asked an Expert

Lip Blush is having a moment in the (social media) sun, offering vibrant colour, definition, and fuller lips—without constant touch-ups. But how does it stack up against lip fillers? And more importantly, does it hurt? We chat with Stephanie from Beauty Concierge who answers all our burning questions about this trending lip tattoo.
