401. Textured Skin & the Peptide Panic Explained

Beauty IQ Uncensored

About

This week on Expert, Sadaf is joined by a guest and friend of the podcast, dermal clinician Yads Cauchi! 

First up: Win, Bin or Recycle tackles the divisive world of stick-on bras. Are they secretly genius, or just one sweaty panic attack waiting to happen? The girls cover internet-famous brands you should know about, including a few surprising buys.

Then, Yads breaks down how to manage textured skin as we head into winter, from congestion and roughness to those tiny bumps that makeup seems determined to highlight. She shares her favourite ways to use glycolic acid, including a few sneaky uses beyond your face that might completely change your body care routine.

And finally, a listener asks: what is actually going on with peptides? Are they harmful, or is TikTok spiralling again? Sadaf and Yads explain the difference between the controversial ingestible peptides making headlines and the skin-loving peptides found in your skincare.
