That tight, squeaky-clean feeling after washing your face? Yeah… that’s your skin barrier screaming. This week on Expert, we’re talking cleansers: the good, the bad, and the barrier-breaking.
We’ll bust some common myths (foaming doesn’t always mean clean), share the signs your cleanser might be too harsh, and give you our go-to picks for every skin type.
Also on the run sheet: summer-in-Europe beauty packing. Inspired by the viral “5-finger summer faves” TikTok, Sadaf reveals what’s actually going in her suitcase, while Tegan builds her dream Euro glow kit. Think glowy SPF, cream blush, and maybe a micellar mini or two.
Plus, in Adore Anonymous, a listener’s hunting for a tinted peptide lip treatment under $50 – we’ve got great picks, and a reminder that SPF lip balm might be the real MVP.
