Do You Really Need Every Trending Ingredient In Your Skincare?
Season 16 · Episode 2
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 • Duration 01:27:00
Peptides, azelaic acid, PDRN, NAD+... They all sound incredible, but do they live up to the hype? This week we break down 10 of the buzziest skincare ingredients: what they claim to do, what the research actually shows, and which ones deserve a spot in your routine (and which can stay on your algorithm).
Plus, our MVPs: Bettina has found a hack to stretch out the time between salon appointments, and Carli has found one to stretch out the time between hair washes.
Is Your Haircare Worth the Money or Does it Just Sound Good?
Season 16 · Episode 1
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 • Duration 01:21:41
Have you ever wondered if your $40 shampoo is ACTUALLY better than what you can get in the supermarket aisle? Or whether the skincare-inspired ingredients popping up in haircare are doing anything particularly groundbreaking?
This week, we're joined by Cassandra Celestin (aka The Beauty Chemist), a cosmetic chemist, product developer and scientist, to separate haircare formulation science from marketing spin. We’re getting into what makes a good haircare product, which ingredients are worth paying attention to, and how to get more out of your hair routine.
Also in this ep: our thoughts on refilling an empty Aesop hand soap with something cheaper, some of the products we trialled over the break, and our MVPs.
Blepharoplasty, Injectables & Eye Skincare Explained with Dr Maryam Zamani
Season 15 · Episode 10
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 01:18:51
This week, we're talking all things eyes with Dr Maryam Zamani — Consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon, Facial Aesthetics Doctor, and founder of MZ Skin. With over twenty years of experience across the US and UK, Dr Zamani breaks down what's happening as our eye area ages, why "tired eyes" isn't always about sleep, and walks us through everything from skincare and injectables through to blepharoplasty — helping us figure out what's worth considering, surgical or not.
Plus, the beauty buys we don't think are worth the money, Carli's honest post-Botox experience, and the new-gen retinoid ingredient that's flying under the radar but might be worth watching.
And our MVPs this week: Carli's tried and tested 10-minute self-tan mask for when you've got zero time but still want a glow, and Bettina's happy accident of a K-beauty lip tint.

Season 15 · Episode 6
Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 01:10:15
We're talking about all the words on the front of your product packaging, things like "medical grade," "clean," "clinically proven," "natural" — the phrases that sound official. But is it really official?
We also have Carli's review of Medik8's new PDRN serum, an update on Bettina's Crown Affair Finishing Hair Spray (it's not looking promising guys), plus our MVPs! A tubing mascara that survived 38-degree heat in Vietnam without smudging, flaking or budging, and a new makeup brush collection you'll want in your kit.

Season 15 · Episode 7
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 51:02
KBeauty is everywhere and taking over our skincare regimens one product at a time.
So what is it about Korean skincare that has us overhauling and expanding our routines? And, more importantly, is it all it’s cracked up to be?
Dr Amy Chahal joins TBP to navigate what’s worth it in the Korean skincare space, what’s more hype than results, and what’s not really getting the flowers it deserves.
Also in this ep: the concealer application technique to prevent under-eye wrinkles, new-to-us beauty brands and the products we want to try, and our MVPs of the week
Winter has a way of throwing your entire skincare routine into chaos. And we're not just talking about dry skin. Whether you're dealing with dullness, sensitivity or a compromised barrier, cold weather, wind, and indoor heating can trigger a whole range of issues that generic "moisturise more" advice just doesn't cover. In this ep, we're drilling down into the real causes behind your biggest winter skin complaints and exactly what to change — your routine, your products, or the ingredients you're reaching for. And the good news? This advice works any time of year.
Plus our MVPs of the week — a shampoo that will make your colour-treated hair shine like you've just left the salon, and a hand cream so good it might be the best one you've ever tried.
What's on a beauty editor’s wishlist? In this week's episode, we're taking you through the beauty products we're desperate to try, what appeals about them, and why you may want to add them to your own list.
Also in this ep: an update on Bettina's hair colour since using her shower filter, what to look for in a travel cosmetics case, and where do you stand on wearing under-eye patches in public? Oh, and of course, our MVPs (not ™)!

The Skincare Advice No One Tells You After 40 (Let Alone 50+)
Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 01:06:14
Once you hit your 40s — and especially your 50s, 60s and 70s — it can feel like the skincare conversation just... stops. The campaigns, the influencers, the "holy grail" product roundups are all aimed at someone half your age, even though this is exactly the stage where your skin needs the most support.
Hormones shift, barrier function changes, and the rules you grew up with don't always apply anymore. In this ep, we're joined by dermatologist and founder of Bespoke Skincare Technology, Dr Katherine Armour, to talk about what's actually happening to skin in your 40s, 50s and beyond, and how to build a routine that works with your skin now rather than chasing what worked a decade ago.
Plus - we answer a listener question on exfoliating before masking, and our MVPs (Most Valuable Products) of the week.

Is It Just Regular Hair Shedding, Or Should You Be Concerned?
Season 15 · Episode 5
Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 01:02:14
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.
