1 hour 14 minutes | Tuesday, 17 June 2025

As new research shows young men are more likely than women to have spent money on injectables and one in six parents say they support non-surgical procedures for teens, are we at risk of normalising extreme skincare procedures? Dermatologist Dr Natalia Spierings sorts the must-haves from the rip-offs. Meanwhile, from end of school year commitments to travel planning via current affairs and the wild contrast of our social media feeds, overwhelm is real right now. But when does it become a problem – and how do we deal with it? Helen asks Dr Thoriya of the Human Relations Institute. And from public holiday pay to annual leave entitlement via four-day weeks, we’re answering your pre-summer employment questions with Dentons’ Ali Al Assad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
