Hair loss is one of those topics that doesn't get nearly enough airtime, and yet so many of us will experience it at some point. Whether that's postpartum shedding, thinning through perimenopause, or changes that creep up without an obvious explanation, it's hard to know what's normal, what's not and what you can actually do about it. In this ep, we're joined by Cassandra Hooper Whitemore, a certified trichologist with decades of hands-on-experience to help guide us through what's driving hormonal hair loss, key signs to look for, when to be concerned, and what genuinely helps versus what's just a beautifully packaged promise.

Plus - we answer a listener question on exfoliation and masking, Carli committed one of the cardinal sins of skincare, and our MVPs (Most Valuable Products) of the week.

Welcome back to season 15!

Have you noticed that peptides are everywhere at the moment? In our serums, moisturisers, toners and even injectables? What’s the fuss? Can they really do enough to warrant the hype? Should we bother using them? More importantly, should we be injecting them?

Dr Memee Ahamd, Co-Founder and Medical Director of SkinCouture in London and a specialist in regenerative aesthetics is here to tell us what’s worth it, what’s not, how to fit peptides into your routine, and gives us the verdict on the injectable trend you’ve been seeing all over your feed.

Also in this week’s ep - why you might need to consider a shower filter, two new tinted lip products reviewed, and, of course, our MVPs.

Usually we’re convincing you to buy into products and trends, but this week we’re doing things a bit differently - deinfluencing you on the things you DON’T actually need in your beauty routine. From multi-step skin routines to snapping up the latest viral product and buying every single shade of a blush from the same brand, here’s the reality check you may need to save your sanity (and some dollars).

Also in this ep: the James Vincent foundation tip put to the test, derm advice for what to do in each decade to help slow ageing, and our MVPs for the week - a true brown tubing mascara and the express face tan that delivers.

Gua sha, facial rollers, sculpting tools — they’re everywhere. But are they actually doing anything for your skin, or just looking good on Instagram?

In this episode, we sit down with skin therapist and facial massage expert Isabella Loneragan to break down what facial massage really does. From sculptural lifting to buccal massage and fascia-focused techniques, Isabella shares what’s happening beneath the surface — and whether these treatments can really lift, firm and define the face.

Also in this ep: our MVPs — including the nostalgic lip treatment plus a product your hair expert may not love, but you will.
