    Live From New York! A Conversation with Dr Brant & Josh from Beekman 1802
    Nov 2 2026
    We have a very special episode of The Double Cleanse this week - as James and Robert are joined by the founders of Beekman 1802, Doctor Brant Ridge & Josh Kilmer-Purcell, live from New York! James, Robert, Dr Brant and Josh talk about the origin story of Beekman 1802, how they ensure their partnership is a true collaboration, and they share their journey to building a team that truly supports their vision. There’s also a conversation about the current state of the beauty industry - from the dominating role of K-beauty, to ‘dupes’ culture and the importance of having a unique point of view as a brand. They also explore the algorithm-driven madness of beauty marketing and how everyone copies what goes viral instead of focusing on hero products. James and Robert also share the Beekman 1802 products that they are obsessed with! Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

  • Have A Problem? We Have The Beauty Product To Fix It...

    Have A Problem? We Have The Beauty Product To Fix It...
    Oct 26 2026
    James and Robert are here with a new episode of The Double Cleanse – and this week they’re tackling the products that you absolutely DON’T need… but you might find useful anyway! We’re starting off with why the beauty awards system is a total SCAM! The twins are revealing some TEA: many beauty and content creator awards are literally paid-for wins. Someone high up in the beauty industry confirmed to them that brands pay to win awards. Robert has even won an award before which cost £5 – and they didn’t even let him keep the trophy (it got melted down for scrap!). For the main event of the show, James and Robert are talking about the unnecessary products that solve specific problems. From the sebum softener which extracts blackheads, whiteheads and sebaceous filaments to the powders that provide colour correction (say goodbye to liquid correctors!), they have it all. There’s also a powder spray (yes, a spray can with powder!), the lip oil which “is not like other lip oils” and even a remedy for dry hands that James wishes he had started using many years ago. James and Robert want to be clear: you don’t need ANY of these products… but if they solve a specific problem you have or if you want that extra benefit, they’re all genuinely good options.

  • Beauty Products We REALLY Want Right Now!

    Beauty Products We REALLY Want Right Now!
    Oct 19 2026
    We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James & Robert are tackling problematic content trends, influencer drama and products they’ve been influenced into buying (for better or worse)! After opening with a rant about unreadable subtitle fonts, the twins dive into how creators are prioritizing aesthetics over accessibility. People are using pastel yellow text, Comic Sans, multiple different fonts – all in the name of a “visual hook” – completely forgetting that subtitles were invented for people to actually read them. Then there’s the over-production trend where people step in and around captions like it’s choreography. One girl fell through her ceiling (seemingly AI-generated) and made a tutorial on “how to do it” – influencing other creators to manufacture equally dramatic content. The main topic on this episode are the products that James and Robert have been influenced into buying! They're talking about the plumping lip mask that is all over TikTok and K-beauty spaces, the foundation marketed as "for mature skin" on the brand's but aimed at everyone on TikTok and the intensive serum which has seemingly disappeared from the shelves... There are 7 must-have recommendations! We want to know: What products have YOU been influenced into buying? Good or bad?

  • We ROAST Bestselling Beauty Products

    We ROAST Bestselling Beauty Products
    Oct 12 2026
    We’re back with a new episode of The Double Cleanse and on this episode James & Robert are BRUTALLY roasting bestselling skincare and make-up products! After opening with how much they genuinely love being recognized by fans (especially when someone is wearing their merch – the best feeling ever), the twins dive into the darker side of influencer culture: people taking candid photos without permission. James shares a genuinely uncomfortable experience at Universal Studios where someone literally held their phone in front of him without asking, took a photo, and walked away. When he tried to address it, the person just kept following him and his friends around. Awkward doesn’t even begin to cover it. The main event is a true roast of bestselling products: just because something sold well, doesn’t mean it’s good. From the Shiseido Eyelash Curler (is it really worth the money?) to the Rhode pocket blush (it’s not really pocket sized!), they’re covering it all. Plus James get’s ANGRY when talking about one particular hypochlorous acid spray… eek! There are also some products worth the hype, you’ll need to tune in to find out! James and Robert want you to know: just because something is a bestseller doesn’t mean it’s the best. Viral doesn’t equal quality. Do your own research, try products, and don’t buy something just because it has hype. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

  • You've Been Using Makeup Brushes ALL WRONG!

    You've Been Using Makeup Brushes ALL WRONG!
    Oct 5 2026
    James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week is SPECIAL – James is celebrating 11 YEARS as an influencer! The twins open by reflecting on how long they've been doing this and getting hit with comments from people saying "I grew up watching you" and "I used to watch you in school," which simultaneously makes them feel ancient and grateful that their content has literally shaped people's childhoods! The main topic in this episode is make-up application techniques and best practices. James and Robert dive DEEP into the debate of brushes vs fingers for makeup application, and Robert has some STRONG opinions... They also talk about hand palette stickers, the theatre of unnecessary hygiene and people insisting on putting on too much powder! Plus they have a vital reminder: fingers are your best friend in makeup. Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

  • It’s A Filter! Have Influencers Gone Too Far This Time?!

    It’s A Filter! Have Influencers Gone Too Far This Time?!
    Sep 28 2026
    Have influencers gone too far this time?! James and Robert are back with a new episode of The Double Cleanse and they’re tackling the influencer tomfoolery which is getting them frustrated. After a debate about what’s acceptable to wear on a red carpet, the twins dive into whether the influencer bubble is potentially bursting. Are people sick to death of influencer culture… even Robert has admitted that he’s reaching his limit! They talk about the ridiculous names that trends are being given (from your “coconut jelly nails” to “eyemaxxing”) to people dragging their kids into influencer culture. But, where James really gets mad, is when it comes to the filter epidemic. You know when influencers post videos claiming “No Filter”… while their bottom eyelashes disappear and reappear depending on where the blur effect is? The fingers are blurry… it’s more obvious than the Snapchat dog nose filter! And James has had enough of it! James and Robert are putting the world to rights and telling their fellow creators: stop packaging basic things as revolutionary trends, stop using filters and pretending they don't, and stop naming everything after food.

  • Toxic Social Media Comments & Why Brands Can't Deal With It!

    Toxic Social Media Comments & Why Brands Can't Deal With It!
    Sep 21 2026
    We're back with a new episode of The Double Cleanse - and this week, James and Robert are tackling the infuriating world of toxic social media comments and how brands just can't deal with it in the RIGHT way! After opening with a rant about how comments on social media can make you "give up on the world", the twins dive into the specific irritations they deal with. James shares his frustration about getting comments that make absolutely NO sense! They then dive into "what about me" culture - including the bean soup theory - the phenomenon where people watch content and make it entirely about themselves. Someone posts a makeup tutorial? "But I don't like that shade." Someone shares a skincare routine? "But that doesn't work for my skin." There's literally millions of people watching your content, but every comment is "why isn't this for me specifically?" Our big topic is how brands handle social media interactions with the public – and why some spectacularly fail. From brands messing up their response to how they deal with being "cancelled" online... it's a mess out here! The twins advice for brands? Hire someone trained in social media and PR.

  • The UGLY Truth About Fake Beauty Reviews & Influencer Content

    The UGLY Truth About Fake Beauty Reviews & Influencer Content
    Sep 14 2026
    It's a new episode of The Double Cleanse - and this week, James and Robert are tackling the ugly truth about lying, fake reviews and manufactured content in the influencer world. After opening with excitement about beauty launches coming at the end of the year (advent calendars are arriving earlier than ever), we kick off by diving into the absolute chaos of pop-up culture. Robert shares his horror at seeing adults camp out from 3 am for pop-ups, people passing out from heat and hunger, and one parent literally pulling their kid out of school to queue for a free gift bag that contained... a pen and a towel. Meanwhile, some influencers have made pop-ups their entire content genre, getting invited so they never have to actually wait in line. The main topic of the episode is lying and deception in the influencer world: the fake before-and-after videos, making products look "used" (even if you've just taken them out the box) in product reviews... and even brands asking influencers to LIE about the results? The real issue? Influencers and brands have been trained by the algorithm to believe that fake, dramatic content performs better. But just because something gets millions of views doesn't mean it's ethical. We wrap up by emphasizing: performance and certain white lies are part of influencer life, but actual deception that affects product reviews? That's where we draw the line.
