The Bronzing Drops Truth & Can You Actua...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Time to decode the bronzing drops obsession! Leigh & Kelly are telling us why these customisable tanning products are all over our feeds and whether they're worth the hype or if they might just make you look greasy instead of glowy. They're sharing the affordable options that do the trick and explaining why mixing anything with your sunscreen is a big no-no.

Then they're tackling the pore predicament! Can you actually shrink your pores or is it all marketing BS? They're revealing why your pores seem to get bigger with age (it's not your imagination!), sharing the ingredients that genuinely help minimise their appearance, and dropping the genius swirling technique that'll change how you apply pore-blurring primer forever.
