There are a few gurus who set themselves up as experts. They are assertive and people give up their power to them. Sometimes, when they are sponsored, they really push those products. Often times they contradict each other. Good video!
They're basically bs with no scientific backing. Dont waste your money. Just eat healthy fats and take care of your body and your hair and skin will look good.
They’re actually really good! She has a whole team of chemists to make the best product possible. I took them for a while (helped my dry skin and redness visibly so much better) however they are expensive and I wouldn’t invest in them unless you have a lot of spare money or have severe skin issues. The reason for being so expensive is because she uses a LOT of active ingredients as opposed to inert ingredients. But if you don’t already have skin issues then not really worth the $.
Samantha Gowen yeah, I have purchased both kinds to try out I just haven’t started one or the other because I am a chicken shit when it comes to taking pills. I have acne prone and dry skin thanks to Accutane so I would love to try them😀
Sarah Stroud the kiwi is best for acne and skin! The biotin in halo can sometimes cause people to break out. Tati said something about taking one in morning and one at night of the original halo if you have acne prone skin. But the kiwi shouldn’t break you out cause it doesn’t have biotin :))
@@samanthagowen7299 There are biotin supplements in the market that are also so much cheaper. For Kiwi just eat the real fruit, it tastes so much better and you know you're putting actual food in your body than popping something expensive.
I follow Beauty Within channel and I really enjoy their videos, they're very educational and detailed, but when it comes to product recommendation, they are too quick to switch between different skincare products before they got the full benefit or they can't be sure if it's something else that's helping their skin.
One more question lol Do you think you will ever do a video on natural makeup that works well that you'd reccomend? Trying to switch over and i have no clue which brands to try. Reviews are so mixed.
I LOVED this video! I find myself getting swayed by influencers talking about certain products, but I forget that I just switched up my routine and need to give my skin more time. Thank you for bringing this up :) Would also love to hear your thoughts about korean skincare!
I am super interested to know which products that you’re not supposed to mix with one another or could you link the video here for me please.. I did not see it in your description. Thank you very much and I love all your information.
I used to watch Dr. Drays channel for advice and knowledge but ever since I found your channel, you’ve become my go to for anything and everything skin related!! I absolutely adore you!! ❤️🙏
I was actually thinking about your first point today, but in regards of hair. I've been growing out years of hair dye and flat ironing and I feel like I can kind of read my hair like tree rings. The hair that grew in when I am taking care of myself and using better hair products has these deeper and tighter, shinier curls and the hair that would've been growing in say, when i had a heat stroke from dehydration last year is breaking and doesnt curl. I was wondering what the treatment period would be for a hair growth product and I wonder if the same 28 days is reasonable for assessing hair products?
During every video of yours I watch I am fascinated how passionate you are about what you do. We need more people who are truly passionate about what they do.
Cassandra I feel like you should tell/ask people to thumbs up your videos. I don’t mind when my favorite you tubers remind me to do that and I want to make sure your videos get extra views and promoted on RU-vid etc cuz you’re my fave
Just came across this video of yours, for me it is older video as I only discovered youtube in Dec and found your channel a couple month ago. This is great, and I love how relaxed, natural you are in this one. You just love what you do and I love that you share your wisdom. Thank you for all the great videos, they are helpful and I find your topics very interesting. :)
My skin has gotten so much better after switching to only using cereve moisturizer, azelaic acid, and sun screen. My face wash does change depending on what I have around but I typically oil cleanse and use the honest beauty milk cleanser.
Yes this is true. I m taking cbd oil and 3 drops apply on face. Cbd lessen my acne and oilyness on face. Cbd oil is costly ,can I use hemp oil on face rather than cbd?
the cannibadols in cbd oil are normally sourced from hemp, but there is likely a difference in the distillation processes and different concentrations of cbd between what is labeled cbd oil versus hemp oil, and buying as a supplement at the health store versus going to a license medical cannibis vendor. Mind you, there are 3 types of cannibis, cannibis sativa (which they use a cultivar of for industrial hemp), cannibis Indica and cannibis ruderalis, each having different levels of cbd and thc-- also there are hundreds of types of cannibadols that occur in many different plants, not just hemp, so take your time and do your research. There are always risks with supplements because while they are "designed" to be ingested and used typically, they are not PROVEN to do what they claim to do or REGULATED to be what they are. The same is the case with cannibis products and the market is growing faster than regulation is adopting. if you are getting your cbd oil from a reputable maker who designs their oils for topical use, I would stick with that, especially if it is working.
@@SSNUTHIN thanks a lot to give reply and detailed information about cannabis. I bought cbd oil from amazon after reading reviews. I took Accutane 5 years ago that works for 2,3 months for oil controlling. I m surprised from cbd oil , very fast results in acne and oilyness. Actually i have acne also on back, chest , shoulders . For large area application i cant afford cbd oil, i read about hemp oil. So I m thinking for topical application hemp seed oil and orally cbd oil. Thanks a lot for giving such a information.
I also got acne and sensitive skin and I switched from using a brush to just using my hands (a few month ago). It improved my skin longterm, because its less abrasive and doesn't strip my face of all its important oils (which also help fighting acne).
This is why i love you so much and have been watching u for years ! You keep it real and super educate us to make sure we know the best info possible rather than just follow what ppl say bc they someone popular, thank u we def need more of these types of videos! :D
I love your videos. Very informative! Your skin has dramatically improved, love the glow😘 The only thing I do suggest is recording in a less distracting setting. Your outdoor videos tend to get distrupted. Other than that, I love your channel!
Really informative video, thank you so much! 🙏🏻 And to everyone who over-exfoliates; please stop it, i temporarily (lucky me) ruined my skin with this in combination with washing my face too often and switching products too fast..
Hi Cassandra, this is my first time leaving a comment ( i think ) I just want to thank you for posting such informative videos. I have learned so much from you. I always look forward to you're video lol they're my favorite. The fact that you are so down to earth and just plain honest is so refreshing. I feel like i can finally put some trust into a youtuber. What's funny is we're the same age but i think of you as a big sister lol. Anyways. I had a question. What do you use in your hair and or style it with to give it such volume? My hair has such been so flat lately. The only time it really did have volume is when i used to straighte it.. If that even makes any logical sense. 💕 thank you for reading if you do read this.
Hey Cassie, on the topic of serums and moisturizer, I do apply my serums first and then moisturizer but when do you apply oils,like rosehip? Before or after? Thanks for always keeping us informed and educated!😘
Maureen Hansen I just watched a video. I forget who it was but they knew about skincare. They said oil after moisturizers. I always mixed them. I guess if there are actives in moisturizers then before oil. I’m no expert though.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT FUNGAL ACNE, CANDIDA (yeast) ACNE, MALASSEZIA FOLLICUTLITS AND GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA. I am Currently struggling with the fungal part of the all over my body/face and in my scalp ! (possible seb derm to that as well) ALOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE THERE ACNE IS NOT REGULAR ACNE AND TRADITIONAL ACNE MEDICATION WILL NOT WORK IF IT IS CAUSED BY A FUNGUS OR YEAST. Cassandra if you have any knowledge on these please make a video of what people like my self and others can do to treat this. It would be extremely helpful and beneficial for anyone who took antibiotics in your life evern once and now have all these skin issues. You may have a candida over growth or fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) Thanks Cassandra hope you can help/make a video on this
@@annaf.1109 Hey ! I actually came across one of the articles on fungal acne on that website and have been using the products suggested unfortunately still struggling with it :( This was all caused from taking antibiotics completely killed my good bacteria and caused me to have candida over growth that is coming out through my skin in the form of fungal acne and follicultits on my body/scalp ! It's been soo frustarting I have taken every itraconazole and fluconazole along with EVERY natural anti fungal supplement following along side the candida diet. It's been 6 months and still dealing with it :( I actually had one doctor say your a loss cause a medical mystery......like yea thanks lol
First of all..❤️ your videos. I always learn so much. 2nd and Maybe It’s b/c I typically watch RU-vid and I’m drawn to influencers that are well informed and don’t do promotional videos, but I don’t see many of these mistakes. Possibly switching products, but they always report back with a long term follow up on products they recommend.
The best tip I ever recieced was to have a "basic skincare regimen" that is nice and simple set of things that basically has no actives, so when your skin is angry or you want to try something new its an easy process of elimination as to what's good or bad, its helped a lot 😊 ( its also good for traveling so you don't have to bring as many things and worry about mixing the wrong stuff)
Mine is the "hemish all clean balm" then "hemish all clean ph balanced cleanser" "pyunkang yul, essence toner" " Cosrx snail mucin" and "first aid beauty, ultra repair cream" (as a dry skin gal)
OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SOOOO MUCH? One of my aunts is an aesthetician and she basically tells me the same thing with so many products out there. Especially like she said with me living in the states and her living in England and the products that are out there. I am so happy to learn about how to not only know what products are out there, but how to properly take care of my skin, inside out.
I agree with you 100%, love watching your videos because you’re so knowledgeable. My question to you is when do you put on sunscreen when you’re going to put makeup on? Any good recommendation for sunscreen? Thank you .
I never mix my skincare products. Not with having sensitive skin. The only non Olay product I use once a week is the Simple Truth™ Lavender Orange Rose Clay Face Mask for sensitive skin. All the Olay products I use are for sensitive skin. I'm over 50 and have mature sensitive skin and I hate it. The products have been working really well together. Thanks for your videos. I don't really rely on reviewers for skincare products because not all products work for everyone and I have to be careful what I use for my annoying sensitive skin. It's a trial and error thing for me personally. Same with make up.
Wow, what an educational video! Thank you so much for being so critical of things and noticing the details that most people don't, it's really enlightening! This is definitely one of my favorite type of content here, people providing actual advice on everyday matters. Gonna watch that video about mixing ingredients next!
thank you thank you so much for being real and honest and actually having HONESTY! i also am educated in skin care and skin and let me tell you i can spot a fake from a true person who means well and wants to help viewers from those who just want to make more money thank you
Speaking of mixing products, a while ago a customer needed help on which products to use. He didn’t know what products to use, I was trying to help him in the best way. I used to scrub cleanse tone and moisturize and that’s all I did. I never used serum at all and I want to use serum now or face masks
About the layering. Check Hyaram’s new vid. Then go to the kindofsteven. There is scientific evidence that you’re layering advice isn’t correct. At least for hydration. Dr. Dray states also an other way when using actives. Glycolic acid goes nearest to skin and vitamin C is best when not direct to skin due to irritation problems.
I was watching your video that you posted 8 years back. You have come a long way girly! very proud of you! I have a quick question. Ever since you suggested Dr. Bronners liquid soap, i have been using it. Is it something you are still using? is it a natural product?
YES! I love when you do that brow with a neutral/natural eye. You don't eye makeup. Those pretty-peepers of yours do all the work! Although the eye application is on point don't get me wrong.
Wow. You look amazing here. Thinking you might be a dark autumn that those colours look flattering on you. Aside from you being beautiful of course. :)
Can you do a video about skincare and vitamins? Since the FDA doesn't strictly regulate them, i never know what is actually effective or if they have the in them what they say they do...
If Cassandra made a skincare line that focused on getting rid of wrinkles/fine lines and dry skin I would be allllll over that! Like take my money now ... I trust Cassandra a lot. 💜💜💜🦋🦋🦋
U r indeed the best big sister, bcuz I have suffered with cystic acne forever (& still am at 26yrs ) and I love how u make me feel supported and encouraged with enlightening us (acne homies) with knowledge, it's so essential to talk nd Dermat's don't talk. Love u sweetheart 💋💖💗. Have u heard of niacid by the company slurp? it's a Korean brand , can u help me understand the science behind it. As it claims to repair indentations in the skin bcuz I have deep ice prick scars. So I just wanna understand if that will help me b4 I invest.
Hi Cassandra.I am 56 and I think I need someone like you to tell me what I should do. I do not only have acne but I have a skin condition called acne rosacea. I heard that Laser actually is a permanent cure. I drink a lot of water through the day and I follow a dairy free diet but I do have dairy free butter and coconut yogurt as well as brown bread and rice. If there is something you think I am missing or not doing right can you please tell me. I will very much appreciate a reply.
I HATE IT WHEN THEY SAY during a foundation first impressions, that they have only had on tHeir face for 5 hours and say... (Oooh crap, it broke me out too, because I have this tiny pimple that I didnt have before). SERIOUSLY?...
I have the BIGGEST crush on you!!!🥰😍😍u are sooo smart, so aware and woke...I can't stop watching ur vids! and im just beginning my skincare journey, so glad I found you!!!! xo
That's what i found to be strange. HG products they claim to love love love...only use it for like, a week. And then show us something else they love love love.
Hi Cassandra, great video, you look different today. I hate those Instagram videos, those girls are so annoying doing faces that are supposed to be cute, it makes me cringe.
Sorry if I upset anyone, however it seems that most Instagram/Influencers and some RU-vidrs do not care because it is about the money they are receiving. The companies of these products are allowing a percentage of money that is usually only paid to the Marketing department. It now goes toward paying Influencers/Instagram/RU-vidrs. The business world has changed thanks to the internet / social media, etc... My advice is to listen to Cassandra Bankson aka The Beauty Chemist or Dr Dray, a Dermatologist in real life. This way you can save not only your skin, but your time and money 💰 🙏
Can you make a Video on the new spotscan app from la Roche posay (i believe it is from them) I tried it out of curiosity and i feel like they just want to promote their products
Hey love! Sheet masks are tricky, becuase they often act like moisturizers or serums! If it is a sheet mask that has a serum/moisturizer then it's fine, but if the sheet mask has another purpose, it can cause makeup to go on sticky, or move throught the day, or get oilier or splotchy easier. If you have one thats working for you, no harm in continuing to use it!
