    Looksmaxxing Is Rotting Men

    This week on GlowJob, @saltlacroix is back and we’re diving headfirst into the viral rise of “looksmaxxing” culture — from Clavicular’s bone-smashing and crystal meth confessions to the broader male optimization movement taking over TikTok. We unpack: • What looksmaxxing actually is and how it emerged from incel forums • Clavicular’s supplement stack (testosterone, Accutane microdosing, melanotan, peptides) • Bone smashing, lantern chins, mogging — and the eugenics undertones • The rise of hyper-online male beauty standards • Why straight men struggle with skincare culture • Rage baiting, influencer controversy, and the Pat McGrath backlash • Celebrity obsession, K-pop fandom economics, and algorithm addiction • Catfishing, dating apps, and modern masculinity From male gaze vs female gaze to nihilism, algorithm-driven outrage, and the collapse of nuance online — this episode is a cultural autopsy. Beauty is business. Business is power. And the internet is warping both. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

    Would you go on an AI Date?

    This week’s GlowJob News Roundup covers the biggest shifts in the beauty industry — from collapsing legacy brands to luxury expansion and AI disrupting relationships. Drunk Elephant is facing a 65% sales decline under Shiseido after the Sephora kids controversy damaged its brand perception. The once-viral skincare brand has wiped its Instagram and is attempting a reset — but can Drunk Elephant recover? Glossier has laid off one-third of its workforce, raising serious questions about whether the DTC beauty model is over. Is Sephora now essential for survival? We also break down: Cardi B launching Grow Good Beauty and the surge of celebrity haircare brands Hermès officially entering the luxury skincare market Estee Lauder suing Walmart over counterfeit beauty products Ron Lauder being named 900+ times in newly released Epstein files Casey Wasserman stepping back amid Epstein-related fallout The rise of AI dating cafés in New York City OpenAI controversy over adding romantic AI companion features to ChatGPT Sol de Janeiro’s Ulta-exclusive fragrance launch and Gen Z strategy From celebrity beauty brands to luxury skincare expansion, from counterfeit marketplaces to AI girlfriend apps, this episode explores how beauty, business, and technology are colliding in 2026.

And power always leaves a paper trail. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

  4. Is NAD just for Tech Bros?

    Is NAD just for Tech Bros?

    Is NAD the next true breakthrough in skincare…or just another longevity buzzword? This week on GlowJob, we sit down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and former beauty executive at Revlon, Aveda, The Body Shop, Virtue Labs, and L Catterton, to unpack the real science behind NAD, cellular energy, and why longevity is not a trend — it’s a cultural shift. We cover: What NAD actually is (and why your body depends on it) Why skin is a proxy for internal health Science-washing vs real biotechnology in skincare Why topical NAD is different from IV drips and supplements How longevity intersects with muscle, hormones, sleep, and brain health Longevity isn’t about looking 25. It’s about living strong at 85. Beauty is business. Health is power. And longevity starts at the cellular level. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.   GlowJob™ goes beyond the headlines to unpack the business and culture driving the world’s most influential industry… beauty.

  8. Is Being an Influencer Still Worth It in 2026? Here’s the Brutal Truth

    5 FEB

    Is Being an Influencer Still Worth It in 2026? Here’s the Brutal Truth

    Is being an influencer still worth it in 2026... or has the golden era officially ended? This week on GlowJob, we break down the creator economy from day one to now: from early beauty bloggers and YouTube legends like Michelle Phan, to Instagram’s glam era, to TikTok virality, and today’s rise of UGC creators and AI-powered commerce. The industry is now worth hundreds of billions globally, with brands spending $40B+ a year in the U.S. alone — but follower count no longer equals money. Virality doesn’t guarantee income. And the old “get paid to post” model is basically dead. We unpack: • Why Gen Z sees influencing as a full-time career • How FTC rules changed trust forever (ad culture) • The biggest influencer scandals (James Charles, Tati Westbrook, Jeffree Star, Chiara Ferragni) • Why UGC creators with zero followers are out-earning traditional influencers • How TikTok democratized fame • Why brands now care about conversion, not clout Plus, we sit down with Nicole Clay, co-founder of Hue, to talk about how AI, data, and UGC are reshaping how brands sell — and why everyday creators are becoming more valuable than celebrities If you’ve ever thought about becoming a creator — or you’re a brand trying to understand influencer marketing — this is your no-BS breakdown of what actually works now.
