301. Affordable Acne Skincare: Expert-Approved Products Under $100
Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and we’re fully embracing the self-care vibes. From everything showers to fresh sheets and full-body exfoliation, we’re kicking off this week’s Expert episode by sharing our ultimate wind-down routines. Then, we’re diving into the world of affordable acne skincare—because breakouts don’t care about age, and keeping them under control shouldn’t drain your bank account. We’ll break down expert-approved, budget-friendly products and practical tips to help manage acne-prone skin without the hefty price tag. Plus, in Adore Anonymous, we tackle a listener’s question about why retinol sometimes hits differently, and in Win, Bin, or Recycle, we debate whether pore strips are a skincare essential or just a satisfying gimmick.

Ever feel like your go-to skincare product just… stops working? This week, we’re tackling one of the biggest beauty myths: Can a product actually plateau, or is something else at play? Tegan breaks down what might be happening, how to tell if it’s time to switch things up, and what you can do to keep your routine effective. We’re also talking DIY beauty hacks in Win, Bin, or Recycle (spoiler: turmeric masks are a no from us), plus a timely Adore Anonymous question about why your nose might be peeling while the rest of your face stays smooth. And in our catch-up, we’re getting into the best-smelling beauty products—because Tegan’s 2025 goal is to turn heads with her scent.
