Youbies: we’re switching things up this week! Q&A will drop in your feed tomorrow (Tuesday).
Today we’re re-sharing this timely interview from OG You Beauty host Erin Docherty with dermatologist, Dr. Ryan DeCruz about what to do about the impact of the sun on our skin.
One of the most common questions we get this time of year is about sun damage and pigmentation, because even if you’re wearing your SPF every day (as you should), warm weather and enjoying your summer out and about can impact your skin.
We’re diving into the best ways to manage sun damage, dark spots, and redness, plus the best product recommendations. Enjoy!

Leigh Campbell is back alongside Kelly McCarren, and no biggie, but Leigh reckons she’s already found what will be the best product of 2026 (even though it’s only January!).
On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the new Charlotte Tilbury ‘flawless’ concealer, a product for lips losing their pigment with age, and the best blush Leigh’s tried in her 20 years as a beauty journalist.
Plus, Kelly’s sad to confirm the very expensive moisturiser MECCA employees swear by is indeed worth the price. And Leigh’s found a chemist-brand body moisturiser so good, her mum likes it better than the Brillo Body Butter - despite her daughter being the Brillo founder!

Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted.
After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her.
EVERYTHING MENTIONED:
Leigh's Budget: Uniqlo U Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt
Jess's Budget: Quay Sunglasses
Leigh's Boujie: Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans $159.95
