334. Unregulated Beauty Products, Teen Skincare Routine & Mel’s Baby Countdown Begins!

What is in those suspiciously cheap beauty products? Mel’s on the home stretch to baby, and we’re building the ultimate beginner routine for teen skin — it’s all happening on Uncensored this week.

In Trending, we dive into the growing concern around unregulated beauty products. With recent studies revealing harmful levels of toxic chemicals in some budget buys, we’re unpacking what’s really in those too-good-to-be-true serums, and how to shop smarter to protect your skin.

Then, in Build My Cart, a listener enlists us to create the perfect skincare starter pack for her 14-year-old sister. We keep it gentle, affordable, and beginner-friendly — including a top-notch SPF that’s cute and doesn’t cost a fortune.

In Stuff We Love, we get our hands (and lips) on Laneige’s new limited-edition Bubble Tea lip balms, and take a wildly passionate detour into what taro actually tastes like.

Plus, Mel gives a little maternity leave update, and we fill you in on what’s coming up over the next few episodes.
