You Beauty

On Today's The Forumla, Kelly is joined by Dr Natasha Cook is a Sydney-based board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Skincare brand drNC and isn't afraid to stir the pot - especially when it's for the sake of your face.
With over 20 years of experience, she has earned a reputation as the "uncompromising dermatologist" because she prioritises cold, hard science over viral TikTok trends. Dr Natasha is taking us through the biggest mistakes she sees in her clinic every single day. From the "safe tan" myth to why your spray-on sunscreen might actually be doing nothing, she’s stripping away the marketing fluff to help you get the best skin of your life.

Leigh's Budget: Sussan Everyday Leather Belt, $39.95.
