Winter Skin Is Chaos. Here's How To Fix It
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.

The Skincare Advice No One Tells You After 40 (Let Alone 50+)
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. All the links mentioned below!

Is It Just Regular Hair Shedding, Or Should You Be Concerned?
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.

Holiday party season is here! Which means sparkles, bold colour, extra effort eyes and glowy skin… and, if you live in Australia, makeup that’s fighting for its life. Between the heat, the humidity, the sweat, the dancing and the running around from one event to the next, keeping your makeup in place can feel… basically impossible. So today we’re getting into all things holiday season glam with makeup artist Mia Hawkswell - from how to create a party look that actually feels fun and wearable no matter if you want to go lowkey or all out, and how to make sure it lasts the distance — even in 35-degree heat. Also in this ep, we put our faces on the line to test Go-To’s blushes, and an easy hack for figuring out your blush placement, and of course, our MVPs for the week (and last ones for the year) Blushes!

A Formulator on What Your Routine Really Needs (and What It Doesn’t)
Skincare routines can feel like a lot — whether you’re someone who loves a 10-step lineup or you’re more of a cleanse-and-go minimalist. But how do you know which approach your skin actually needs? And is there really such a thing as doing too much… or too little? In this week’s ep, we’re joined by formulator and skincare founder Leighton Smith to help us unpack the rise of skin minimalism vs. maximalism, the ingredients every routine should include (no matter your camp), and how to build a skincare ritual that supports your skin. Also in this ep, Carli shares the highlights from Priceline’s Beauty Prescription Live, and of course, our Most Valuable Products of the Week. Links below!
