The Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment also helps to replenish and soothe your skin thanks to the addition of aloe juice, birch sap and cotton review: "My skin has been absolutely manic the last six weeks — hormonal breakouts, forehead congestion, cysts on my cheeks. It's been...a lot. But I've now been using this serum nightly for about 10 days and it is a GAME CHANGER. My skin is hydrated, more supple and acne pigmentation is at last starting to fade. This is worth every penny and is going to be a staple in my nighttime routine from now on."—Julia WillingBuy it from Sephora Australia for $90.

Formulated with a blend of potent active botanicals — including green tea, eucalyptus, algae and Irish moss extracts — this toner will remove excess oil and refine pores without drying, unlike many other toner review: "I used to have a real love/hate relationship with toners, but when I stumbled upon this gem, a moved fully into the 'love' camp. It does exactly what it claims to do: control oil. Even around my time of the month (which is when it tends to be at its worst), my skin stays pretty balanced. Other pluses? It doesn't have that alcohol-y smell like a lot of toners do and feels a little more moisturising. My skin also doesn't have that uncomfortable tight feeling after I use it either, which is great." —Alice Prendergast Buy it from Sephora Australia for $45.

Infused with a blend of African galanga, ama and Asian borage oils, the masses love that a little goes a long way review: "Unsurprisingly, hydration has been a challenge since chopping off, like, half my hair and getting it back to its natural colour (I had been bleaching it blonde for a few years). Luckily, I found this stuff. It's lighter than any hair serum I've ever used and smells like a floral dream. Plus, it only takes a few pumps to get top-notch results, so a bottle will last you a while. If you have fine hair like me, I suggest applying less than you think you'd need or things can get greasy real quick." —Alice PrendergastBuy it from Sephora Australia for $55.

This Mario Badescu lip wax that's the answer to all the prayers that have ever passed your chapped lips. This one is enriched with jojoba oil, vitamin E and beeswax, which means your lips are going to have a healthier diet than you (probably).Promising Review: 'I've tried so many different lip balms that seem to dry up my lips instead of actually making them softer.

Featuring gentle, slow-release retinol and nutrient-rich rainbow algae to rid your skin of post-acne scarring, this powerful serum also contains squalane to pumpp and soften skin after review: "I was skeptical at first, because most retinol breaks me out as well as leave a stinging feeling.

Indy Clinton looks very different as she unveils shock transformation while stepping out in Sydney - after dramatic weight loss and cosmetic work
Indy Clinton stepped out looking very different on Tuesday as she headed into her Sydney office with BOUF hair care co-founder Rachael Wilde. The mummy blogger, 27, unveiled her new look following a dramatic weight loss journey and undergoing various cosmetic procedures in recent years. She was spotted putting on a leggy display as she left Tessuto Cafe on York Street wearing a black mini dress ahead of the BOUF product launch in Priceline. Flaunting her new breast augmentation, which she received last year, the mother-of-three also flashed her pearly white veneers while holding a takeaway cup. Indy rugged up against the cold with a chic black suit jacket as she stepped into a pair of open-toed red heels. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. At one point, the brunette beauty, who shares Navy, four, Bambi, two, and Soul, one with husband Ben Azar, could be seen slicking on some lip gloss. She finished her look with a pair of dark designer sunglasses as she strutted down the street with her friend, who donned a ruby red monochrome suit set. Indy has been undergoing a complete transformation in recent years, changing her locks from blonde to brunette and receiving several cosmetic procedures. She is a known patient of The Cosmetic Lounge where she goes to receive lip fillers and other skin treatments. The influencer showed off her new dental and veneer work in October when she attended a beauty brand launch, and confirmed her boob job just months earlier. But more recently, Indy has attracted attention for her sudden weight loss and recent rhinoplasty. Indy, who announced in February she was getting a nose job to remedy an old injury, has had to hit back at trolls who likened her to Michael Jackson in recent months. The TikTok star was criticised for covering her face, like the late pop star, and not showing the aftermath of her cosmetic surgery. 'I have a lot of swelling obviously on the outside, but also internally which is making my nostrils look uneven,' she said. 'It's going down everyday,' she said of the swelling, adding it was 'so much worse' and she's been sleeping with little splints in her nostrils to help the healing. Speaking of her time in the cast, she said it was the 'longest twelve days of her life' but she was happy with her 'super natural' results. Indy posted a video of herself wearing a bandage on her nose as she sat drinking a smoothie in her garden, receiving a comment which read: 'Ok weird - MJ vibes now.' The online personality revealed this week the hate messages about her recent nose job have become so harsh she has hired a private investigator to find her haters. She made the revelation during an Instagram Q&A when one fan asked her: 'Are you doing better? The hate you get online is so unnecessary.' Indy answered she was working hard to make some of the hurtful trolls who have bullied her responsible for their actions. 'The anonymous accounts and the faceless people hiding behind them need to be held accountable,' she began. She added she had contracted a private investigator to help her identify some of the particularly hurtful trolls. It came just a few weeks after Indy sparked concern among her fans when she shared a clip to social media about her Bali holiday with her family. In the TikTok video, Indy discussed the challenges of parenting her children while on vacation. She also shared a photo of her sunbathing in a bikini next to an outdoor pool which captured her very slender figure and recent weight loss. 'In Bali, woohoo! Actually, it's not "woohoo" because I am just parenting in a different location,' Indy told fans. Several followers quickly took to the comment section to ask if she was okay. 'I'm worried about you,' one person wrote, while a second added: 'She looks exhausted and says she cries every day.' Others pointed out Indy looked stressed out with motherhood and offered words of support. 'Kids on vacation is not a vacation,' someone chipped in, while another wrote: 'I can recommend a fantastic nanny.' Indy's outing comes as she prepares for the launch of BOUF, a new hair care line she has been tagged as an ambassador for. The line officially launched on Tuesday at Priceline.

Everything To Know About Bouf Haircare, Sister Brand Of Tbh Skincare
Here at Refinery29 Australia, we've been long-time fans of tbh Skincare since it first made a splash with unique acne-busting patented technology. Rachael Wilde, the entrepreneur behind the successful Australian brand, turned tbh Skincare into a multi-million dollar business after launching in 2020, and, in 2023, Wilde merged Boost Lab into a banner company, York St Brands, of which she is cofounder and CMO. Now, Wilde is launching another business under York St Brands — a haircare range called Bouf. The products are formulated with patented FGF5, a hair technology that came across Wilde's desk in 2024, but was initially intended to be part of York St Brands' existing portfolio. Wilde, however, believed that the technology, which claims to strengthen and visibly thicken hair while supporting its growth, deserved a completely new brand and product line. For the last 15 months, Wilde has been using Bouf products on her own thinning hair, and the results have been nothing short of mind-blowing. "One thing my hairdresser said to me [after using Bouf] was that your hair is actually growing full to the ends, which means it hasn't just grown long and wispy, it's grown healthily all the way down to the bottom," Wilde explains in an Instagram Reel. Early 90-day testing of the products on the Bouf website also shows some incredible results. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rachael Wilde (@rachhwilde) How does Bouf work? FGF5 is a protein that tells your hair when it's time to stop growing and fall out. The protein is a crucial regulator of hair growth in humans, and it is said that a mutation in the gene can result in increased hair length. Bouf works by blocking FGF5, thus acting as a snooze button for hair fallout. So, not only will your hair grow longer, it will also grow thicker and stronger. The scientists behind Bouf's technology ran two clinical trials, according to Wilde, with the results showing hair that grew 20 per cent faster, had a 44 per cent increase in hair follicle growth, as well as an 82 per cent hair loss reduction. It is understood that around 49 per cent of women will be affected by hair loss in their life, and the reasons can vary from shedding due to stress, to conditions like postpartum hair loss. The Bouf range includes a hair-growth tonic, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in mask and hair growth supplements, with prices ranging between $29.95 to $39.95. Bouf products will be available to shop online and in-store at Priceline and Atomica on May 27, 2025.

Gen Z boss hits back over 'concerning' Aussie work trend: 'Sense of entitlement'
A "concerning" number of bosses have revealed their bleak perspective on the youngest workers and it's a worrying sign for Gen Z. The Hult International Business School found that 37 per cent of employers would rather hire artificial intelligence models over Gen Z graduates. The survey revealed how underprepared the youngest workers were after finishing university and trying to find a job in the real world. But Rachael Wilde, a Gen Z entrepreneur who owns cosmetics company tbh skincare, told Yahoo Finance that the older generations' perspective of young workers needs to change. "Yes, AI is changing how we work, but every generation has faced technological shifts," she said. RELATED Urgent warning for Aussie bosses over Gen Z rejection of Boomer work trend AustralianSuper under major scrutiny as $4.1 trillion industry faces big changes $6,548 Centrelink cash boost available for struggling Aussies "AI can absolutely automate tasks, but it can't replace human creativity, culture, or emotional intelligence—things that make a workplace thrive. If employers are struggling to hire and engage Gen Z, I'd argue that's more a reflection of their work culture than the generation itself." The Sydney-based boss has 22 employees at tbh skincare and 14 of them fall into the Gen Z category. She said in her experience, the youngest staff members are some of the "most driven, curious, and innovative people" she's ever worked with. Wilde had hit back against the Hult research, which also found that 45 per cent of employers would rather hire a freelancer or a retired former employee instead of a young uni graduate. A whopping 30 per cent said they would prefer to just leave the position unfilled. Shockingly, 98 per cent of leaders said their organisation was struggling to find talent, and 89 per cent admitted they would avoid recruiting people fresh out of tertiary study. "What concerns me is when businesses write off an entire generation instead of adapting their work environments to attract and retain young talent," Wilde told Yahoo Finance. "The companies that will win in the future are the ones that understand how to integrate both AI and Gen Z—because, frankly, they're better together."According to the survey, 60 per cent said the youngest batch of workers don't have any real-world experience, 57 per cent said Gen Z "lack a global mindset" while 55 per cent said they don't know how to work well on a team. They also complained Gen Z graduates did not have the right skill sets, lacked proper business etiquette, and it cost too much yo train them. For the companies that did hire a Gen Z worker in the past year, 78 per cent of HR leaders said they had already fired at least some of them. Recruitment expert Graham Wynn told Yahoo Finance he's seeing a lot of young people arrive into their first role with the wrong attitude. 'I think it's a worldwide problem. [There] is a sense of entitlement and more of a push of what's in it for them and work-life balance. I think that is basically what this problem is,' he said. Gen Z people who were also part of the same survey placed the blame on their education institutions for this bleak view of their generation. Interestingly, 77 per cent of young workers said they learned more in six months at their job than during the whole of their four-year degree. A whopping 85 per cent wished their university or college better prepared them for what workplaces are like and only 24 per cent said they had all the skills that they need for their current role. More than half complained that their tertiary education didn't prepare them "at all" for their job. Not only that, but young people leaving university are saddled with high student loans and many industries are offering salaries that some wouldn't even get out of bed for. Maddy Basham ripped into this issue when she saw an ad for a role paying $50,000 a year. 'Sick and tired of seeing the same job ads over and over again asking for an educated, experienced marketer and paying them f**king nothing,' the Gen Z Brisbane jobseeker said. She worked out that if she was working 40 hours a week, she'd be earning $24.04 an hour, which, at the time, was just slightly above the minimum wage. '[That's] for a job requiring a whole-ass degree and two years in job experience that … isn't even enough to pay back the HECS debt that I took out to go get that degree," she added. This is in stark contrast to some older generations who enjoyed free university education or wages that kept pace inflation. Morris Misel's job as a futurist is to look at what has happened in the past, what's happening now, and what things might look like as time goes on. He's seen many predictions over the years about how a certain technologies will ruin certain industries, and laments that every new generation entering the workplace has a very low standing in their older counterparts. Misel told Yahoo Finance that recruiting AI over an actual human likely won't play out well for bosses across Australia. "It concerns me because it shows that, firstly, employers don't really understand artificial intelligence, what it can do, or what it might be able to do," he told Yahoo Finance. "It's a knee-jerk reaction, and it also doesn't speak well to what Gen Z's are going to be, because in 2035, they will make up 20 per cent of the working population." He added that it's not a new trend for graduates to be underprepared for what life is like in the big leagues and the whole point of university is to give people an understanding of the job. The futurist admitted that AI will automate certain tasks in the future, and there will likely be a reshaping of workplace dynamics. But he ripped into the idea that a whole generation can be overlooked in favour of AI as ridiculous. "There are so many things that humans can do that technology and artificial intelligence won't do for a long time, if ever," he said. Wilde agreed with Misel that AI will definitely be a game-changer to the way that many of us work, but explained why Gen Z would be a better fit. "The key difference is that they're digital natives—they aren't afraid of AI, they're already using it to enhance their work," she said. "In our business, Gen Z employees are the first to adopt new tools, experiment with AI-assisted workflows, and use technology to make their roles more creative and strategic." She said the youngest workers of the world have a "level of cultural intuition" that AI can't match and a key understanding of digital trends, internet culture, and shifting consumer behaviours. Wilde believes this makes them "invaluable" in industries like marketing, retail, and tech. She added that Gen Z workers aren't afraid to question the status quo, something that can ruffle the feathers of older workers, but open the door to new ways of doing things. "That kind of thinking is what drives innovation. AI can optimise what already exists, but it can't break the mould," she told Yahoo Finance. "Employers who embrace these strengths, rather than resist them, will build more dynamic, forward-thinking businesses. AI is a tool, but Gen Z is the future workforce—so the real opportunity is in learning how to integrate both." Gen Z has copped a barrage of criticism for being job-hoppers who aren't up to the task of a regular 9-5. But Robin Boomer, senior director at Gartner, explained to Yahoo Finance that bosses need to adapt to this new way of working rather than make the youngest workers conform. "We need to prepare the organisation to be able to on-ramp those potential employees into meeting their potential, as opposed to moaning the state of readiness that they're coming to us with," he said. "Because that part can't be controlled for... We're just complaining about the level of capability that they're arriving with, but that's not doing anything to change the state of things and is ultimately making the cost of recruiting much more costly. Middle management expert Rebecca Houghton also told Yahoo Finance that young workers should be doing their bit to be as hireable as possible. "Make sure that when the machine comes and does it better, faster and cheaper, that you have something else to offer, and make it clear that you have something else to offer," she said. "Get on that bandwagon, re-skill yourself as the driver of the AI because you're the expert in the work."Sign in to access your portfolio
