Podcast: Does a pore vacuum work?

Plus: Texturising sprays explained & a neuroscientist on how stress impacts your skin

Yep, pore vacuums exist and if the name itself isn’t enough of an explanation, here’s the gist: picture a small electric toothbrush-esque gadget with a small nozzle. Its purpose? To suck out the gunk that’s clogging your pores and leading to breakouts. But do they work? That’s exactly what we cover in latest episode of Get Lippy.


Also in this episode, we get to the bottom of texturising sprays – what are they? How do you use them? When do you use then? Why do you use them? And we chat to neuroscientist and skin expert Dr Claudia Aguirre to find out how your brain and the appearance of your skin are connected.
