348. Cult Serums Under $100, Melasma Help & The $14 Freckle Pen We’re Loving

from Beauty IQ Uncensored · host Adore Beauty

We’re talking all things glow this week on Uncensored, from cult-status serums under $100 to the surprise return of permanent hair straightening. (Seriously, where is the Melbourne version of that GC/Sydney salon? Hannah needs answers.) Producer Jas is back with the latest and greatest from Adore HQ, including a $14 freckle pen that fakes summer skin in seconds, Laneige’s new donut-shaped lip serum, and a foundation brush she’s borderline evangelical about. Plus, a listener calls in about their stubborn melasma, and we get expert advice from our go-to skin queen, Dermal Clinician Yads, on what actually works long-term. Oh, and in breaking news: Hannah’s partner Nick has fallen off the skincare wagon. But don’t worry, she’s devised a system involving strong visual cues. You’ll want to take notes.
