This week on Uncensored, we’re diving into all the beauty basics you didn’t know you needed (plus a few you definitely did). First up, Top 3: we count down the most-coveted scalp scrubs, why they’re so good for hair health, and which ones really deliver clean, flake-free, stronger, and shinier hair. Next, in Beauty IQ Hotline, we turn our attention to our nails. Builder Gel, Gel X, or SNS: Which one lasts, which one damages your nails less, and which is worth your money? Jas and Hannah break down wear time, maintenance, and salon costs so you can pick the perfect manicure for any occasion (wedding trials included). Finally, in Stuff We Love, we dig into pregnancy-safe skincare. From serums to SPF, facials to Botox alternatives, we explore what’s genuinely safe, what to avoid, and tips for keeping your skin glowing and comfortable during pregnancy.

If you’ve ever ditched a serum after two weeks because “it wasn’t doing anything,” this Expert episode is for you.

Blood masks, jelly cleansers, peel-off lip stains... has beauty gone too far, or are some of these viral trends actually worth the hype? In this Uncensored episode, we’re diving headfirst into the world of so-called “gimmick” beauty — unpacking what’s a cash grab, what actually works, and why we keep getting sucked in. We chat about the psychology behind our obsession with the shiny and new, and how social media isn’t just influencing our carts, it’s shaping the products themselves. Plus, in Build My Cart, a listener treats herself to the ultimate post-breakup glow-up haul, and in Stuff We Love, we’re praising Huda Beauty's new lip stain that refuses to budge (in the best way possible).

Do you feel that our isolating individualism, nonstop injustices, consumerist lifestyles, or everyday monotony are suffocating your soul?Our guest, Wesley Vander Lugt, believes what breathes life into us is something that we can easily miss or dismiss: BEAUTY.His book is Beauty Is Oxygen: Finding a Faith That Breathes (Eerdmans, 2024). Here is not your ivory-tower theologian; his PhD is in Theology, Imagination, and the Arts. Wes shows how beauty can break us out of self-centered malaise, promote healing and hope for our broken world, and re-enchant our lives. Wes believes that Beauty is as essential to our souls as oxygen is to our bodies.Here is the poem that Wes cites in the podcast:Every Riven Thing by Christian WimanGod goes, belonging to every riven thing He's madeSing his being simply by beingThe thing it is:Stone and tree and sky,Man who sees and sings and wonders whyGod goes. Belonging, to every riven thing He's made,Means a storm of peace.Think of the atoms inside the stone.Think of the man who sits aloneTrying to will himself into the stillness whereGod goes belonging. To every riven thing He's madeThere is given one shadeShaped exactly to the thing itself:Under the tree a darker tree;Under the man the only man to seeGod goes belonging to every riven thing. He's madeThe things that bring Him near,Made the mind that makes Him go.A part of what man knows,Apart from what man knows,God goes belonging to every riven thing He's made.Scroll down to learn more about Wesley Vander Lugt.Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite app:Thanks for listening!Please share this podcast with your friends.

This week on Expert, we’re tackling one of skincare’s most confusing topics: ingredient percentages. You know the ones — 10% vitamin C, 20% glycolic acid — but does a bigger number actually mean better results, or just better marketing? Tegan and Jas break down when high percentages truly make a difference, when they just cause irritation, and why more isn’t always better. We’re diving into actives, skin barrier health, and the myths brands love to sell — plus the unsung product heroes quietly doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Plus, we reveal what really makes a product work (spoiler: it’s not just the star ingredient) and share how to read labels like a pro, beyond the percentages. In Beauty IQ Hotline, we help a listener whose makeup keeps sliding off by 11 a.m. — uncovering the sneaky culprits behind separation and quick fixes to keep your look fresh all day. And in Win, Bin or Recycle, we weigh in on the surprisingly controversial trend of… duck nails. Yes, really.
