Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 2k ratings
  • Zero star rating, disgusting misinformation

    Pushing the ridiculous, harmful idea that women over 40 need invasive, damaging skin treatments because “skin care doesn’t cut it anymore”.

    These clowns are influencers not doctors.

  • Boring

    Too much chit chat about mundane activities that have nothing to do with beauty. Get on with the content please. And please don’t have guests with vocal fry. So irritating.

  • Not loving anymore

    I enjoyed this podcast a lot more when Joanna Fleming was the co-host, as he dermal knowledge was interesting to listen to. Also since Jo has left, Hannah seems super disinterested and almost “over it”. The chemistry between the hosts seems off, almost like they don’t get along. I listen sometimes but it’s not my go-to anymore. Also even though I’ve had two children myself, I’m not interested in listening to pregnancy content. There are plenty of other podcasts for that.

  • A good listen

    Amending my review down a star unfortunately I’m not loving the new format this year… and whilst I still enjoy it from time of time it no longer is the top of my queue..

    I quite enjoy this podcast, especially the openness of the hosts and the different guests. I love the short throwbacks too; it’s great to have some 10min podcasts to listen to on my lunch break! It’s not the most progressive podcast however it’s easy to understand why, as it quite literally only exists to advertise. It’s a pro... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

424. Why Your Hair Keeps Falling Flat (and How to Fix It)
Q: Why does hair look good after styling but go flat an hour later?
James explains that over-stretching and heat styling can remove natural texture and body, leaving hair effectively straightened and more likely to fall flat.
424. Why Your Hair Keeps Falling Flat (and How to Fix It)
Q: What do we need from a cut to get that great volume in our regular life?
James says a shaped, layered cut redistributes volume toward the roots and mid-lengths, and suggests showing a hairdresser reference images and specifying where volume is wanted.
421. Everything You've Wanted to Know About Injectables
Q: Does filler always completely disappear?
No. MRI studies have found filler remaining for up to 10 or 11 years, and dissolving injections may not remove all of it.
421. Everything You've Wanted to Know About Injectables
Q: Does getting anti-wrinkle injections for years eventually make your muscles permanently weaker?
No. The injections temporarily weaken the treated muscles, but muscle strength gradually returns after treatment stops.
422. The Best Fake Tan Tips From a Famous Sydney Studio
Q: What are your tips for at home, like the tools that you use?
Belle recommends using a mitt on the body and a brush on the face, hands and feet. She advises moisturizing hands and feet beforehand and applying only the leftover product from the mitt to those areas.
