The episode explores the connection between gut health and skin, featuring fragrance recommendations and beauty hacks.

This week on Uncensored: Instagram made Mel do it... and it did not go well! She put a viral contour and blush hack to the test, with results that prove not everything you see on your feed should be replicated at home, friends. Then, in We Tried It, Mel and Tegan spritz their way through a selection of fragrances, deciding exactly who each scent is for. Like, exactly. They're getting very specific, so whether you're after a new everyday perfume, something sexy for date night or a signature scent that gets compliments, we've got recommendations. We're also joined by Leelah Linke, founder of St. Skin Melbourne, to unpack the connection between your gut, hormones, stress and skin.
