Shanequa Paris and Calum Leslie take on the online trend 'Reasons why I could never'.

Maybe you couldn't go on Love Island because you refuse to wear a bikini when you're on your period. Maybe you couldn't play in the World Cup because you'd skip training for a food tour of New York. Perhaps you'd never survive The Traitors because you can't keep a secret, or you'd never make it onto MasterChef because beans on toast is your signature dish.

We want your funniest, most relatable reasons why you could never be the star of the show. It's not about being perfect - it's about celebrating all the little quirks, habits and priorities that make us who we are!

Plus sunshine, festivals, holidays, heatwaves, sweat, SPF, breakouts - summer can be a confusing time for your skin.

Dermatologist Dr Emma joins us to answer your skincare questions and help separate the facts from the fiction. How much sunscreen do you actually need? Does SPF belong indoors? What should your summer skincare routine look like? And are all those viral TikTok products really worth it?

So whether you're dealing with oily skin, dry skin, holiday skin disasters or you're simply trying to understand what all those skincare ingredients do, bring us your questions, and we'll help you build a routine that works for you this summer.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
