Breaking Beauty Podcast

Meet Skincare By Hyram – aka Hyram Yarbro – the 24-year-old “Skincare Specialist” whose viral videos are making ordinary brands like CeraVe sell out among his six million TikTok Stans. Starting with his popular skincare routine reaction videos launched earlier this year, his #skincarebyhyram hashtag has racked up 1.4 billion views on the platform in just six months. In today’s episode, Hyram discusses his lightning-fast rise to fame, including how he’s dealing with the success – and the mistakes he’s made along the way.    We ask Hyram about that licensing deal we’ve been hearing about (Could “Hyram-Approved” Skincare be hitting store shelves soon?) And, we got you with his product recommendations, too. Find out which budget skincare brand he says is poised to be the next big thing. You’ll also hear about his complete, 4-step skincare routine, including the serum for oily skin he’s calling “sorcery in a bottle.” Finally, we find out which skincare tool is totally not worth the spend, and the skincare trend he’s predicting will be big for 2020 and beyond. *Trigger warning*Please note that eating disorders are discussed in this episode   For any products or links mentioned in this episode, check out our blog: www.breakingbeautypodcast.com/blog   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

Meet Brooke DeVard, host of Naked Beauty Podcast and total DIY skincare guru. Not only is her voice one of the calmest in all of podcasting, Brooke’s show was one of the first to hit the beauty space in 2016. Featuring casual-yet-candid chats on self-care routines along with deeper conversations in how we see the beauty in ourselves, Naked Beauty was nominated for an iHeartRadio Podcast Award earlier this year. Today, the mama-to-be is flinging open her kitchen cupboards to share her #damngood homemade recipes for luscious face oils, bountiful body scrubs, luxurious hair masks and more. We’re not talking about resting cucumber slices on your eyes here, people! Brooke is delivering all the deets on where to source the best quality essential oils, which types of oils won’t cause breakouts, which dollar-saving skincare must you really should be making at home, and how to avoid an avocado hair mask emergency. (P.S. You’ll find all of Brooke’s recipes on our blog at breakingbeautypodcast.com/blog.) Plus, in true #podswap spirit, catch us over on Brooke’s show,  Naked Beauty, this week! Your Breaking Beauty hosts Carlene & Jill are sharing their favourite clean beauty swaps, rounding up the best skincare and makeup dupes in the green beauty aisle that rival some of their conventional faves (look out, Glossier Future Dew!)

Hands up if you’ve had to get creative to cover up your roots this year?! Without question, most of us have had to stretch between colorist visits. Today, we get the backstory behind the genius hair color-in-a-makeup-pan, earner of seven Allure Best in Beauty Awards and the impetus for about a bazillion knock-offs.    Founder Gail Federici goes way back to share her roots in inventing strand-saving products, including the deets on her original brainchild, John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum. She’s also going to take us through the wild ride of selling that company (that may have involved a coin flip!) And finally, Gail tells us what it’s like working with Kim Kardashian’s mane man, Chris Appleton – he of the “glass hair trend” and arguably the secret weapon behind ColorWow’s trajectory from cult status to mass fandom.   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

Is “Clean Beauty” a myth? According to a growing social media movement led by the scientific community, a lot of the ingredients on all of those “free-from” lists may not be so dangerous after all. Today we’re chatting with Jen Novakovich, the cosmetic chemist and formulator behind The Eco Well. Jen started her platform to bring more science into the conversation around sustainability in personal care, with a mission to help correct some of the misinformation making headlines today. Are parabens as awful as we’re made to believe? How much of a topical ingredient is actually absorbed into the bloodstream? What does “medical-grade” skincare really mean? And is anything “chemical-free”? Listen in as Jen answers these questions and more, offering some helpful tools to critically evaluate what you’re hearing – and buying. But first, Carlene and Jill weigh in with their thoughts on why they’re not quite done with the world of Clean Beauty yet! And, be sure to check out Jen’s podcast The Eco Well - where Jill and Carlene will be featured guests in September, talking about beauty journalism, podcasting and more.  Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

Dark spots beware! Today we’re chatting about all things hyperpigmentation with Dr. Alexis Stephens, a Florida-based dermatologist and Skin of Color expert who’s leading the charge when it comes to cultural competency in the field of skin science. (Check out her life-changing before-and-afters on patients here.) We’re getting to the bottom of why hyperpigmentation happens and what you can do about it, whether you’ve been dealt melasma, erythema or post-inflammatory pigmentation due to genetics, hormones or sun damage. Dr. Stephens is also a trained beauty chemist, so stay tuned as she gets into the specific ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation, from the best prescription options to her top budget finds you can find at major beauty retailers. Then, listen to the end as she addresses our top listener questions: how to get rid of acne scars, hyperpigmentation treatments for body, the merits of micro-needling, and the real talk on hydroquinone. The number one thing we learned? While there isn’t a single “magic cream,” there’s help for hyperpigmentation yet.   For any products or links mentioned in this episode, check out our blog: www.breakingbeautypodcast.com/blog   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!
