Pregnancy Waxing Horrors & Retinol Fails with Genevieve Turley | No Parental Guidance

Welcome to a special No Parental Guidance Bonus Show! This week, we’ve recruited the brilliant Genevieve Turley (@genevieveturleymua) to be our "Beauty Agony Aunt." We’re reading out YOUR most mortifying makeup and skincare dilemmas, from DIY disasters to pregnancy pampering gone wrong.

In this bonus episode, we’re diving into:

The Eyebrow Slug Incident: What happens when "5 minutes of peace" turns into 20 minutes of black dye? :snail:

The Pregnancy Waxing Horror: Why the "most painful wax ever" left one listener feeling like a plucked hedgehog. :drop_of_blood::hedgehog:

"Tangoed" in the Noughties: A deep dive into the 2000s era of orange faces, white necks, and smelling like a digestive biscuit. :tangerine::cookie:

The Retinol Lizard: Why "the more the better" is a dangerous game that leads to chemical burns at playgroup. :lizard:

Gen’s Nursing Secrets: Why a professional nurse faints at a speculum but can handle military trauma. :stethoscope::zzz:

Skin Fasting & Fake Tan Fails: Does your skin actually need to "breathe," and can you ever fix a handprint on your face?

Genevieve also clears up the confusion around skincare routines for tired parents and shares the absolute agony of the "baby oil and zero SPF" holiday routine we all survived in our 20s.
