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

    Your Controversial Beauty Opinions! Daily SPF, Indie Brands & More
    Mar 23 2026
    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. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday! *Product Recommendations* REHAB.

  • Y2K’s Dangerous Comeback! The Beauty Industry Shouldn't Repeat These Mistakes

    Y2K’s Dangerous Comeback! The Beauty Industry Shouldn't Repeat These Mistakes
    Mar 16 2026
    Is the undeniable return of the Y2K aesthetic dangerous? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are tackling the return of nostalgic beauty trends – the good, the bad and the dangerously problematic. Starting with a discussion about the recent America’s Next Top Model Netflix documentary – and the return of “heroic chic” (we’re NOT here for it) – James and Robert get brutally honest about the worrying resurgence of extreme thinness being glorified, the rise of "lunchtime procedures" and how Y2K nostalgia is bringing back some seriously toxic beauty standards. They also discuss their own relationships with cosmetic procedures and why they think their generation has become somewhat immune to the "you should look like this" messaging. The twins are hoping we can keep the fun nostalgia of Y2K – the Hilary Duff movies, the pop music, the glittery makeup – without sliding back into the damaging beauty standards that came with it.

  • We HATE To See Beauty Brands Doing These Things!

    We HATE To See Beauty Brands Doing These Things!
    Mar 9 2026
    We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James and Robert are getting petty about the weird, annoying and downright questionable things beauty brands do that make them NOT want to buy their products! After opening with their obsession with limited-edition K-beauty packaging (Pokémon Pikachu Sunscreen, anyone?) - and a particularly conflicting episode of Influencer Fact or Fiction - the twins unleash their brutally honest pet peeves. From brands constantly bragging about making millions while underpaying staff, awkward email marketing that feels too personal (or not personal enough), and brands that just can't read the room. The twins discuss why indie brands celebrating their millionth million gets old fast, influencer partnerships that feel misplaced, and why sometimes the smallest brand missteps can turn you off forever. If you've ever refused to buy from a brand for a petty reason, this episode is for you!
