Description
The Skincarma Pod is where indie beauty meets fearless curiosity. Hosted by Carmine Montalto—creator of the Skincarma Blog and unapologetic skincare truth-seeker—his podcast pulls back the curtain on the beauty industry with sharp insights, candid interviews, and a healthy dose of irreverence. From deep dives into ingredient science to raw conversations with dermatologists, brand founders, and industry insiders, each episode is a no-BS exploration of what really matters in skincare: how to attain and maintain healthy skin. If you're obsessed with products, passionate about transparency, and love calling out hype, this is the place to learn, question, and glow smarter.
