Breaking Beauty Podcast

In 2020, Hyram Yarbro earned upwards of 6 million TikTok followers in just four months. His brutally honest brand reviews, skin transformation reaction videos and budget skincare recommendations earned him the title of “The Gen-Z Whisperer” by The New York Times. Two years later, and Skincare By Hyram is back to chat about the lessons he’s learned as he’s shifted from content creator to brand founder – and where the beauty influencer economy is going next. In today’s episode you’ll find out: How he reflects on those “brutally honest product reviews” now.   What he’d do differently if he were to go back and recreate his skincare line today. Whether some viral TikTok product recommendations are legit – or paid for.   His real thoughts on “jelly skin.” What is “vabbing”? The fragrance trend you’ll wish you never heard of. Which budget skincare brand he believes will pop off just in time for back-to-school (hint: we never heard of it.) The skincare serum that he and Hailey Bieber bonded over.  The #1 practice he’s adopted to help survive burnout. Where the future of social media is going – beyond TikTok. Plus, tune into Hyram’s podcast Justaposition, *tomorrow*, where we’ll be the featured guests! We get candid about what it’s like to work on our own podcast versus our Devil Wears Prada days working at fashion magazines, how we deal with negative reviews along with our latest favorite beauty products that may or may not include a foot foam for unsightly heel cracks (did we mention we’re getting real real?!)

Hair Slugging: why a decades-old hack still holds up today. Home Remedies: fermented rice water vs. apple cider vinegar – the reason only one of these TikTok trends is worth your time. Hair Brushing: why the age-old “100 strokes” adage leads to more breakage than shine.

Ever wonder how to find your perfect nude? LA-born, South Asian sisters Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha Khan struggled to find the one nude lipstick to suit their skin tones, and set about doing something about it.

Three years of mask-wearing later, and CTZN is blowing up, as seen on Lizzo, Sza and Hilary Duff. And they’re only just getting started.   In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the exact moment that CTZN Cosmetics went viral on TikTok, crashing their website and changing the young entrepreneurs’ lives forever.

Emma is a comic and former matchmaker-turned-fragrance expert who’s been featured in The New York Times, New York Post and InStyle. Today, she’s bringing her encyclopedic fragrance knowledge to help assess which viral perfumes are legitimately #DamnGood – and which ones smell like burnt tires and cotton candy.   From Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s ubiquitous Baccarat Rouge 540 to Ariana Grande’s Cloud to the influencer scent that spurred a 100,000 person waitlist and the one department store scent she believes is worth the hype, Emma isn’t pulling any perfume punches. Plus, Emma reveals her fave budget-friendly find (pssst, now back in stock!), the BIPOC-owned fragrances you need on your radar and the modern bridal scent you did not see coming.   *Be sure to catch us over on Perfume Room podcast this week, where we reveal the top fragrances that beauty editors hoard, our personal holy grails, our wildest press trips ever and more of our scent diary secrets.*   For any products or links mentioned in this episode, check out our website.   PROMO CODES: When you support our sponsors, you support the creation of Breaking Beauty Podcast!    MACY’S Dive into the farmhouse trend with Macy’s.  Soft textures and warm wood accents make it easy to bring a piece of the countryside into your home (yes, even if “home” is an apartment in the city).

Dr. Sam Bunting, UK-based, cosmetic dermatologist shares her expertise on selecting the perfect serum. Topics include choosing serums for specific skin types, alternative ingredients for sensitive skin, treating dark spots with effective ingredients, and how to mix and layer serums for maximum results.

When was the first time you realized that you need to wear SPF not just during the summer, but every damn day of the year? For elementary school teacher Holly Thaggard, it was a lightbulb moment that occurred after a close friend was struck with skin cancer in 2005, and the start of an entrepreneurial career that would lead to her lifelong dedication to suncare advocacy in schools – and the birth of Supergoop!, now a staple in many a glowy girl’s skincare routine.   In today’s episode, you’ll find out how the industry’s biggest sunscreen darling changed the game completely, introducing the idea of a “sunscreen wardrobe” that now offers over 40 different ways to apply every single day (PS - three units of Supergoop!’s iconic Unseen Sunscreen now sell every single minute). You’ll hear why turning down Sephora was the key to becoming one of their best-sellers. Plus, Holly gives us an easy-to-understand explainer on everything you want to know about sunscreen now, like:   What’s behind the rise in combination sunscreens that combine both chemical and mineral filters What a PA+ rating means on a label and why it’s important Whether your car window is actually protecting you from UV rays The fastest-growing area of the body where doctors are spotting skin cancer amongst women today How to negotiate the vitamin D vs sunscreen debate in real life Why you still need to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, no matter how high the SPF factor is Her personal SPF layering technique – including how to reapply over makeup throughout the day   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!
