Tick another one off the bucket list, people!

Dermatologist and internet sensation Dr Sandra Lee aka Dr Pimple Popper joins us to debunk a popular TikTok trend for treating acne, we chat about the psychology behind 'popaholics', and we find out which pop has been her favourite of all time.

Oh, and if you liked Hannah's bacne tip she's shared on this podcast, Dr Lee has gone one better with a product in her SLMD range (not yet available in Aus).

Not that she needs the plug, but you can check out Dr Pimple Popper on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrSandraLee

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...

Our New Year's Resolutions:

You won't believe this but... Jo joined a dating app. You'll have to listen to find out more about that, and Hannah's planning to gain a few more hobbies to her life, aside from talking about Thailand.

The Professional Treatments We Get:

Jo and Hannah both share all the stuff they have done in salons and clinics, from lasers to chemical peels to injectables, it's all on the table, and we discuss which treatments we could and couldn't live without.

PWDKWN:

Jo: Maison Balzac Sainte T Scented Water

Model and body positivity advocate Jess Quinn, who lost her leg to cancer at age 9, catches up with Amy to discuss her experience in a very raw and real conversation.

Jess explains the campaign she worked on called "Wear The Damn Shorts", how she's navigated her own feelings about her body, inclusivity in the space, and why she prefers to use the term 'differently-abled'. She also explains the uniqueness of her surgery, and how her heel ended up being her knee.

Oh, and it wouldn't be a beauty podcast if we didn't ask her how she styles her bangs.

Female hair loss

Yep, you read that correctly. Olympic swimmer and Avène ambassador, Cate Campell, shares why we should be stashing SPF in our bags like we do with tampons. We've always got tampons, so why not always carry SPF as well?

Cate shares her recent melanoma experience, what she uses on her skin and hair to combat chlorine, how she prevents wedgies and thrush, and her tips for women who want to get into professional sport.

Thanks for joining us for what was a very strange 2020. We've laughed together and cried together, and hopefully some of these episodes helped keep you smiling on the shittier days.

Today we're joined by Matthew, everyone's favourite editor (and musician, Matthew Tankard on Spotify FYI). He has made up some Would You Rather questions, and Hannah also has one of her own.

We also go through our top PWDKWN's of 2020 - the one's we absolutely didn't know we needed:

Jo:

If there's been one positive to come out of 2020, it's the virtual friendship we've struck up with Lily Brown. If you don't know Lily, she's an Australian YouTuber with over 350k followers on Instagram, and she's been spruiking the podcast to anyone who'll listen (which we're very grateful for).

We chat to Lily about all the skincare mistakes she was making before learning some lessons on the podcast, what it was like getting her lip filler dissolved, and how she deals with the online nastiness that can accompany the life of an influencer.

Lily and her mum Nataly recently filmed their skincare routines for Lily's channel which you can watch here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_VEZJJc0a8

Colonics

Hannah put the call out to our listeners to share their colonic stories, and as usual, ya'll did not disappoint. Hannah also shares her own experience with having a colonic with what looked like...dirty water?

This isn't a procedure recommended by medical professionals, and not something we suggest you undertake without medical guidance.

The Ordinary 101

You sent in your questions, we got them answered. Nafisah Abdalla, Science Communications Associate Manager at DECIEM, joins us to get in-depth on all things The Ordinary, including why we don't have the AHA/BHA Peel in Australia, when the sunscreens will be dropping, and how many serums is too many.

Here's the regimen guide Nafisah mentions: https://theordinary.deciem.com/regimenguide?ccvis=1

On today's episode, Amy is joined by the delightful Manny MUA, who you've likely stumbled across on Instagram, YouTube or TikTok where he has amassed a following of millions.

"A daddy body with a mommy face", is how Manny describes himself.

Manny, who's the founder of Lunar Beauty, is also a makeup artist, beauty expert and advocate for blurring gender stereotypes when it comes to beauty, making history as the first male face for Maybelline.

Manny chats with Amy about the TikTok trends he can't stand, how he discovered makeup and found his confidence, and which bargain products he always has in his kit. Oh, and he also shares a story from working on the shop floor at Sephora back in the day.

First Periods

Our cringey convo is all about normalising conversations between women, and first periods is pretty much at the top of the list. Why did we find this time so shameful? What was embarrassing about it? In fairness, some of you did share some pretty traumatic first period stories, and if you thought you'd shat yourself, you're not alone.

Thanks to the audience members who opened themselves up to share these vulnerable stories with us, we really love this community!

Summer Haircare

Monique McMahon from QUE Colour in Sydney joins us to chat about what exactly happens to our hair in the summer, and what we can do about it.

Hannah learns one of her own personal Hagrid hair hacks isn't so bad at all, and it gets the tick of approval from Mon herself.

The products mentioned in this episode include:
