Like every other person on the planet right now, Mel is obsessed with figuring out the exact beauty products Carolyn Bessette Kennedy used, and with the help of Yads Cauchi, she might have done it. But first, Mel tells Hannah about the rise of 'lunchtime boob jobs' in New York – a cosmetic procedure designed to be quick enough to fit into a lunch break. Then, Hannah shares some of her increasingly chaotic late-night ChatGPT searches. Friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi then joins Mel for a long discussion about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s beauty routine, from the products she used that you can still buy (including that famous berry lipstick) to the skincare brands she’d probably love today. Finally, Mel tries the viral VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot live on the podcast. If you’ve seen this trending skincare treatment all over TikTok and wondered what it actually feels like on the skin, this on-air test might give you the answer. Thank you to Yads Cauchi for joining us!

Should you actually sit on public toilet seats? It’s the debate dividing the team this week, as Tegan and Sadaf weigh in on whether it’s fine or whether hovering is the only option. Then, Tegan takes a deep dive into melasma, the stubborn pigmentation condition that can be incredibly frustrating to manage. She explains what actually causes melasma, why it’s so closely linked to hormones and sun exposure, and the key things you can do to help prevent it from worsening. Tegan also breaks down the treatment options available, from skincare you can use at home to the professional treatments that can help manage it in-clinic. Finally, in Adore Anon, a listener wants to know what she can actually do about split ends. Are there products that genuinely repair them, or is the only real fix a haircut? The team shares practical tips for preventing and managing split ends so your hair stays as healthy as possible between trims.
