A Must to separate myth and marketing gimmicks from the truth
I stumbled upon Perry and Randy’s blog years ago after it was recommended by another beauty blogger with a chemistry background. Intrigued because I did not expect men to address beauty questions, I read on and on and was impressed not only because they know what they’re talking about but also because of how they deliver their message. It’s clear, concise, and generally well-referenced. Everybody should listen to or read the Beauty Brains. It’s not just beauty with science, it’s also bodycare and health blended in. So grab a mug, relax and learn.
A necessary podcast
I really appreciate the work done by The Beauty Brains. It's difficult to make informed decisions on skin and hair care and their approach to the subject is a true breath of fresh air. I will never buy a new product without checking first with them. Plus, I find Randy and Perry really likeable :) A big thank you from Spain!
