The Unpublishable
A former beauty writer turned sharp critic of the skincare industry
About
Jessica DeFino spent years as a beauty writer before turning that access into skepticism, and The Unpublishable is the result: a newsletter that treats the beauty industry as a subject for critique rather than coverage. She writes about the marketing behind "clean beauty," the economics of skincare routines, and what the industry would rather not discuss.
It's pointed and often funny, closer to a critic's column than a beauty blog, which is unusual in a category mostly built around product recommendations. Readers burned out on influencer skincare content tend to find it a relief.
