Their latest contribution to the beauty conversation, The Two Marketeers dedicate this episode to what they’ve cleverly coined as "punch-in-the-gut-vertising". Hosts Sean and Lindsay examine Dove's latest #detoxyourfeed campaign which aims to de-normalize potentially toxic beauty advice pervasive on social media.
