Is Skincare Actually Ruining Your Skin?
Mon Feb 02 2026
Have we just uncovered one of the biggest beauty scams? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving into the great skincare paradox!
After Robert admitted to finally seeing through a skincare routine (and getting the benefits from it!) in last weeks episode, we're now looking at the other skin. James and Robert explore why your skin barrier is begging you to chill out, how overcomplicated routines can backfire spectacularly and the psychological trap of thinking you need 47 steps to look decent.
They also discuss the rise of "skinfluencers" pushing excessive routines and how the industry profits from making you feel like your face is constantly broken.
From chemical burns disguised as "purging" to the satisfying simplicity of a three-step routine, James and Robert share their brutally honest takes on when skincare becomes self-sabotage. It's a reality check for product hoarders everywhere!
