The Double Cleanse

Your Controversial Beauty Opinions! Daily SPF, Indie Brands & More

The Double Cleanse

Show Notes

On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are handing over to you as they review YOUR most controversial beauty opinions, as submitted via social media.

Does SPF need to be worn in all climates… even cold ones? Are ingredient lists pointless (unless you have allergies)? And is skincare being marketed too much like make-up? It’s all being debated in this episode!

We’re also getting passionate about how game-changing brands have created a generation of self-proclaimed “experts” who don’t actually understand formulation, and we’re addressing conspiracy theories about microplastics in skincare. If you've ever had a hot take on beauty, this episode is for you!

Robert & James also give their opinion on the Jackie Aina controversy… do you always need to be grateful for gifted products? Or, perhaps, it’s more of a trade-off than you might think.
