What happens when Eastern beauty says “porcelain” and Western beauty says “sun-kissed”? Welcome to the identity crisis of growing up Asian American.
In this episode of GlowJob, we’re breaking down the conflicting beauty standards AAPI babes have grown up with—and how we’re rewriting the rules.
We get into skin lightening culture vs tanning trends, the media’s obsession with a single beauty type, and the rise of the ABG (Asian Baby Girl) as a subversive icon. From generational pressure to barely-there media rep, we’re unpacking what it means to shape your own beauty standards in a world that hasn’t always reflected you.
It’s funny, it’s personal, it’s painfully real—and it’s exactly the convo we wish we heard growing up.

From sneakerhead to showerhead, Ryan Babenzien is revolutionizing your beauty routine from the source—water. In this episode of GlowJob, we sit down with Ryan, founder and CEO of Jolie, the viral shower filter that’s redefining what it means to “cleanse". Known for co-founding GREATS (the DTC sneaker brand acquired by Steve Madden) and helping revive legacy brands like K-Swiss and Puma, Ryan shares how his background in fashion, brand strategy, and entertainment marketing led him to a very unexpected place: your shower.
We get into:
Why the water in your shower is sabotaging your skincare
How Jolie is tackling chlorine, heavy metals, and PFAS
The wild inspiration behind Jolie’s dirty truck ad campaign
Dupe culture, copycats, and what Ryan does when someone steals his copy
Beauty industry gatekeeping—and how men still run it
The moment Ryan realized filtered water is the new serum
If you've ever wondered whether filtered showerheads actually do anything (spoiler: they do), or how beauty intersects with infrastructure, branding, and wellness—this one’s for you.

She survived septicemia, launched a luxury supplement line, and reengineered hospital-grade laser tech into the most powerful at-home skincare device on the market. Lucy Goff is not your average beauty founder.
We kick off our brand new GlowJob interview series with Lucy Goff, the unapologetically science-obsessed founder of LYMA, the cult beauty tech brand behind the $2,695 cold laser (and the newly launched $6000 Laser Pro) used by celebrity estheticians and Gwyneth-approved girlies everywhere. From growing up in Yorkshire with undiagnosed dyslexia to founding one of the UK’s fastest-growing companies, Lucy walks us through her journey from beauty journalist to collagen disruptor.
We get into:
Her near-death experience that led to LYMA
Why most skincare devices are glorified red flashlights
Why traditional lasers rely on skin damage—and why LYMA doesn’t
What “cold laser” really means (and how it reaches your muscle and bone)
Celebrity users, esthetician partnerships, and what makes the LYMA Laser a 10-year investment
If you’ve ever side-eyed a $6,000 device and thought “WTF could it possibly do?”—this one’s for you.

In this unfiltered episode of GlowJob, we break down the viral “Republican Makeup” trend that exploded on TikTok—originally posted as satire by creator Suzanne Lambert and now a full-blown culture war over contour, concealer lips, and 2016 brows. Yes, even dry patches and side parts are political now.
We decode the aesthetic that has the internet spiraling—and why it ended up in the pages of The Wall Street Journal.
Then, we get into the weird (and slightly terrifying) world of politically-coded brands. From liberal-coded icons like Glossier, Fenty, and Patagonia to conservative-coded cult faves like Mary Kay, IT Cosmetics, and even Yeti Coolers—why does everything suddenly scream red or blue?
We also unpack the rise of Tradwife TikTok and Femininity-core—where ultra-feminine beauty and homemaker vibes are either reclaiming feminism or rejecting it altogether. Is it a soft-life rebellion… or just really good branding?
Finally, we ask: why is everything—your makeup, your lunch, your water bottle—a political statement? Is it that deep, or are we just chronically online?
👄 Part culture commentary, part comedy, fully unfiltered. Hit play and prepare to be offended—in a good way.

GlowJob Podcast is stepping into the beauty world at its FIRST EVER industry conference—and trust us, we saw some wild stuff. From the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen recall to the latest trends in packaging, we’re spilling all the juicy details. But the real highlight? We got up close and personal with Isamaya’s viral phallic-shaped lipstick… let’s just say it’s got some serious package appeal.
🔍White labeling is the real beauty secret you need to know—why is everyone suddenly all about it?
💭 Are beauty brands really pushing boundaries, or just repackaging the same old products? We’re getting into the behind-the-scenes and our cheeky takes on what’s going down.
💄 From metal tips to eco-friendly designs, we’re unpacking the luxury packaging trends and asking: are they here to stay or just a flash in the bottle?
🏨 Speaking of luxury, the Beverly Hills Peninsula Hotel—you won’t believe what kind of side hustle we found happening there. Let’s just say, not everyone’s checking in for the spa treatment. 😉

In this episode of GlowJob, we’re diving into the world of medical tourism for cosmetic procedures—the viral “transformation vacations” that have people flying to South Korea, Turkey, Brazil, and Mexico for everything from nose jobs and BBLs to hair transplants and veneers.
We break down the costs, risks, and realities of going under the knife abroad, including the most popular destinations, shocking medical tourism statistics, and the hidden dangers—from botched surgeries and sepsis to the dark side of the organ black market.
Plus, we explore how TikTok and Instagram have made medical tourism look like the ultimate glow-up, and whether social media is setting unrealistic beauty expectations. And of course, we apply a little Girl Math to see if these procedures really save you money—or just cost you more in the long run.
Would you travel for cosmetic surgery? We share our takes, plus tips for staying safe if you’re considering it. Tune in for all the glam, the cautionary tales, and the unfiltered truth about medical tourism! ✈️💉
