This week on Beauty IQ Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are shining a light on the body parts we too often forget — starting with your scalp. We spend so much time caring for the skin on our face, but what about our scalp, ears, elbows, and chest? Skin Therapist Tegan breaks down why scalp exfoliation is trending for all the right reasons, from improving scalp health and reducing build-up to helping your haircare products actually work harder. You’ll also learn how to care for those often-overlooked areas (and why your elbows deserve more love than they get). In Win, Bin or Recycle, we’re talking celebrity skincare brands. The hits, the misses, and the ones that actually earn their spot in your routine (no shade, just facts). Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener asks the million-dollar question: Does exfoliating your scalp really make your hair grow faster, or is that just marketing? And if you’ve ever fallen in love with a product sample — same. We share the ones that turned into full-size obsessions, including a volumising paste you’ll want, immediately.
