Bec Judd opens up on shock beauty revealations
The 43-year-old Perth-born Melbourne-based influencer said she has struggled with folliculitis at the top of her thighs after intense Pilates workouts.
'You get sweaty, you exercise, and you leave your activewear on all day,' she said on the Vain-ish podcast she hosts with Jess Roberts.
'And I'm being a type A person. If (the instructors) say do 20, I'll do 30. But then I get sweaty, and then I leave active wear on all day.
'And it was more like top of the thighs. You know, like where the butt cheek meets the top of the thighs. It gets sweaty, and you can get what is it? Folliculitis?'
The mother-of-four then paid a visit to her dermatologist, Ryan De Cruz, asking for help to get rid of 'all these weird bumps'.
'And he's like, it's very, very common in the active wear mum generation,' she said.

Judd also spilled the tea on the time she almost got fired from modelling in Asia due to tanning and was forbidden from going in the sun.
'So I worked in Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong (and) in my modelling contracts, I had to sign a clause saying that I wasn't allowed to tan my skin and I wasn't allowed to go to the beach, and I had to put SPF on and they wanted my skin to be as white as possible.
'I'm Maori. Going out in the sun, I go brown straight away.
Judd continued to say that the 'naughty models' rebelled against their agency only to be threatened with the loss of their jobs.

'We had an official warning they were going to send us back to Australia if we went to the beach again because we were all too tanned and we're missing out on work. Isn't that crazy?'
While still on the tanning topic, Judd and Dr De Cruz shared their thoughts on viral tanning gummies.
'I actually bought the tanning gummies and started eating them, it was weird, they were a neon blue colour,' Judd said.
Dr De Cruz added: 'It's really been glamorised, and as a dermatologist it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
'A whole lot of potential toxic side effects - you just don't want to go there it's a big red flag.'

Hamish Blake's cake night stuns fans once again
Media personality Hamish Blake has won hearts once again after documenting his attempt at making a birthday cake for one of his children. Blake shares two children, Sonny, 11, and Rudy, eight, with his wife, beauty guru Zoë Foster Blake. Every year, on the eve of one of his children's birthdays, the 43-year-old father documents his endeavour to make a birthday cake, with Rudy's eighth birthday was no exception. It's a Blake family tradition that's become something that many Australians look forward to, with brands and fans alike weighing in. 'This is our Roman Empire,' one social media user added. One commented: 'This is our Super Bowl.' 'She's going to be a spectacular cake,' another added. One social media user said: 'I love the algorithm of Instagram. I don't see your face on my feed at all until it's cake night.' 'Cake night is life, excited to see the LOL cakewalk extravaganza,' another commented. Ahead of the activity, the Lego Masters star took to Instagram to wish people a good morning and 'Happy cake night'. 'Tomorrow is my daughter's eighth birthday party. Tonight, it is cake night,' he said. 'The brief is not impossible — it's a doll. They're called LOL dolls. If you've got young kids, you will know what they are. 'If you don't, good for you. It's a doll with a pretty big head and massive eyes.' Blake said the cake would require a runway, lights, a rainbow plait and an off-the-shoulder shirt. A swinging handbag was also part of the ensemble. Blake said the hardest part was that he was filming with Andy Lee in Melbourne and needed to fly back to Sydney, where he lived, at 5.30pm — which meant the cake process would be starting later than usual. But, the hands-on dad delivered and documented the while journey. He started by making the dolls head and attaching it to a pole, which would later form the body. Blake attached it to the store-bought cake, which he had iced, and then started on the hair. The fondant kept breaking on it. 'I thought it would be like a hair plait, but it's not hair and it's not behaving like hair so we're just going to move onto other stuff,' he said, according to Mamamia. Blake moved back to the runway and the outfit, which was a little smaller than intended. He remedied the issue and pushed along. Eventually, he came back to the hair. It did prompt a slight panic but he pulled through. While the cake did look like a doll, Blake was an extra harsh critic on himself and declared it was only 'Okay'. Finally, at 3am, he was officially done. 'Thanks for hanging in there gang. Happy birthday to the greatest daughter I could imagine,' he added.

AFL world praises Joel Selwood for ‘brave' act as footy great returns after death of his brothers
The AFL world has showered Geelong legend Joel Selwood with praise as the 37-year-old made his return to the commentary box on Sunday. Selwood has been on a break from his media commitments after the sudden death of his brother Adam in May, aged 41. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. His death came just three months after his twin brother Troy took his own life. The surviving Selwood brothers – Joel and Scott – were understandably left devastated by the loss, and Joel decided to take a break from his media obligations. Scott also took a short break from his role at Collingwood, but returned to his duties last month. And earlier this week it was revealed that Selwood would return for Sunday's clash between St Kilda and Melbourne, much to the delight of fans. 'Great to see you back doing what you love,' one fan wrote on Facebook in response to the news. 'Great to see Joel returning we have missed you Joel,' another said. 'So brave, welcome back! Love and prayers for you and your family love you Joel,' a third added. While a fourth wrote on X during the first quarter: 'Good to hear Joel Selwood in Comms again this afternoon. Lots of love on your return.' Joel Selwood's touching tributes to twin brothers Following the death of Adam, Joel wrote a touching tribute message on social media. 'Rest up, love you brother. Look after each other'. It came after his heartfelt speech at Troy's speech in February. 'He was dealt some pretty tough cards over his lifetime. Some he found a way to deal with, but sadly, there were others, no matter how hard he tried, he could never fully control – and he did try,' Joel said. 'He tried so hard. He put up a hell of a fight for mum and dad, for his kids, for his brothers, for his friends and for others who are fighting the same fight, just as he was. 'He fought for all of us. 'He wanted to keep fighting, as he always did in life, but in the end, he simply couldn't lift his arms to throw another punch back. He'll be missed by so many.'
