What's the weirdest thing you've ever found in your bellybutton?
Clearly our wider team at Adore Beauty weren't that keen to share their stories, but we discovered all the sh*t in Hannah's childhood memory box, what our belly buttons collect, and why we seem to always find fluff in there.
Pregnancy skincare:
This is a request we get multiple times a week - so here it is! We chat with Dr Nina Wines from Northern Sydney Dermatology and Laser about which ingredients are safe and not advised to be used during your pregnancy. We also discuss pregnancy related concerns like stretch marks, pigmentation and benign skin growths.

How to properly pop a pimple...or not.
A pimple on its own is enough to scar the skin, so squeezing can potentially enlarge the wound an increase the chance of scarring. BUUUUT if you can't help yourself, we're sharing our best tips and asked this week's guest James Vivian to weigh in as well.
Our fave spot treatments we mentioned are below:
Murad Blemish Control Rapid Relief Spot Treatment 15ml

Ep 31: Professional VS Supermarket Haircare
Beauty IQ Uncensored
04/19/20 • 42 min
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...
How regularly are you washing your bra?
According to Reader's Digest, you should wash your bra every 3 to 4 wears - we discuss what happens when you don't wash them regularly enough, and circle back to not washing our feet. DM us if you're also a little slack with washing your bras!
Is professional haircare really worth the price?
We asked Natalie Anne whether salon-quality haircare really is better than the supermarket stuff, what ingredients to avoid in your products, and her best haircare hacks.
One of Nat's favourite ranges is O&M: https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/o-m-original-mineral.html?utm_source=omny&utm_medium=podcast
Sulfates (SLS, or sodium lauryl sulfate on the ingredient list) are completely safe to use, but may not be suitable for coloured or keratin-treated hair or people with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea. Sulfates are a detergent designed to cleanse the hair which can cause your colour to fade prematurely although the scientific evidence of such effects is mixed. You can learn more about sulfates here: https://www.healthline.com/health/sulfate-in-shampoo
The optimum styling temperature is 185 degrees. See ghd's research here: https://www.ghdhair.com/articles/dispelling-the-heat-styling-myth

Before we get to that - here's the TikTok of the bellybutton piercing hole being cleaned: https://vm.tiktok.com/JJUHBwm/
Blisters.
We all get 'em, and we're sure you've all got a blister horror story you can tell. We discovered Hannah has the toughest feet ever, Jo doesn't, and a listener recommended the Compeed Blister Stick - it’s a chapstick style product that you swipe on like a lip balm where your shoe is rubbing and stops all blisters apparently!
How to find your signature fragrance:
Michael Edwards, fragrance taxonomist and founder of Fragrances of the World, joins us to talk about the fragrance wheel which he invented, all the different fragrance families, how to properly apply perfume, and how to shop perfume online.
