Girl. I had a Monat hair scheme person tell me my hair would grow in thicker post chemo. Really sucks when you prey on those of us that suffered enough. Losing breast tissue was bad enough. But then my hair. And it never grew back to its former thickness and wave. So I was a sucker. Tried it. And omgggg my hair fell out even more then it already had. Now thanks to my Orthopedist who told me to take collagen with peptides for my knee - nice side effect my hair is a tiny bit thicker. It’s called science. And no, my Dr never promised hair growth - just joint improvement and he was right! Knee so better. I still have thin hair. 😂 but I’m alive and well. Thanks to scientific research.

That’s awful 😞 I’m so sorry. Monat made so many people’s hair fall out they ended up in a lawsuit over it. It really pisses me off the way they prey on peoples weaknesses, promising miracles but it’s just a bottle of 💩. I recently had a shampoo cause a bunch of hair loss, but it was a trusted brand. Biolage, I had used their volume bloom line years ago and didn’t have any negative results from it, although I had short hair at the time (just above my shoulders) so maybe I just didn’t notice. I’ve always had thin straight hair, but now it’s very long. Past my butt. At first I did notice I had more shedding but I thought it was my hair adjusting to a new shampoo, now I wish I had stopped using it right then and there bcuz now my hair is so embarrassingly thin and the split ends are worse than they have ever been from all the breakage while using it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to save it without cutting half of it (or more) off, but I am damn sure going to try! I know split ends have to be cut, so I’ve did trim a good 5-6 inches off. I’ve started using Wella Fusionplex shamooo, conditioner and hair mask. I could feel a difference in my hair while rinsing it out, that same day my husband came home from work walked in and on first glance at me "wow! What did you do to your hair? It looks beautiful! It’s so shiny and smooth" That should tell you everything bcuz this man doesn’t notice when my hair changes shades 🥲 I also picked up the Redken Extreme damage line and their anti-snap treatment, but I’ve been so impressed with Wella I haven’t started using it yet. Thank you for the collagen and peptide tip! I’ve had problems with my knees for most of my life, as I get older it’s impacted me so negatively. They always hurt, and every winter the pain is worse than the previous year, so for that benefit alone I’ll be picking up some today!

@@kso35 yep. Such a scam!! I will tell you what really helped my hair -just a bit- collagen with peptides. My Orthopedist told me to take it along with Krill oil supplements for a knee issue. Works so so well! I trust my doctor and his advice was spot on. Ask your doctor before taking as I do not know if there are contraindications with any meds one is on etc. I now use Derma E volume and replenishing shampoo and my hair feels a bit thicker. The company doesn’t make any promises of hair growth etc. So far so good. And I love their skin care line.

I actually had Walmart do third to me this week with photo cards. They hadn't printed them even though they were supposed to have been delivered last week, I did a chat and the customer service person told me point blank the order was canceled. I got the cards from another company and not only shady had received them but already sent them out, then this morning I woke up to an email telling me they'd been printed, shipped and they'd charged me. When I called up the woman told me "there's nothing in the computer that says it was canceled." I had saved the screenshot of the chat where I was told it was, and only when I offered to send it did she agree to refund me my money. I told her to go find the previous person and ask why they didn't do their job, since now they are out the cost of the cards and the shipping, instead of just losing a sale. It's crazy that a company so large and well known does the same thing little MLMs do, and for other things not just skincare or makeup!

Years ago I had read a small article stating that Christy Brinkley had been in a NY hospital and had over $100,000 of plastic surgery and of course she looked amazing afterwards. Some time later, I saw Christy on a talk show telling people all she did to look so good was use a scrub with jojoba oil!. I felt so bad for the ladies in small towns that were starting to lose their youthful looks and might be watching and berating themselves for not aging as well as Christy. That's why I think stars should say "hey, I had some work done and that's okay". I want also point out the ridiculous ads for expensive skin care lines featuring 20 year old models saying "my skin looks so young!" If the product works so well, then show us some results on older skin. Thank you for all your incredible research and sharing the truth with us!

At Sephora, they taught us that feelings sell more products. Get the person to picture them using the product, how it'll be in a week after using the product etc. It's also why (pre-covid) we were also recommended to apply samples to peoples hands as we talk about it. Feelings sell.

@sluttymctits4496
@sluttymctits4496 2 года назад
I don't know how much blame can be placed on older generations. Everyone knows "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Kids know how to Google everything, to look into things before they buy, and they know about privacy online. They know to be skeptical. The reason they fall victim to buying all the image lies is because they're young -- we were all susceptible, insecure kids at one point. So I don't think anyone failed the youth when it comes to teaching about these things, but more that image, beauty, and insecurity are many people's weakness, and it's so easy to fall victim to it.

I taught my kid & he's never fallen for a scam. He just shakes his head & knows it's bs. The kids who do fall into them follow in their parents footsteps. I've seen it plenty with my own eyes. Parents running out to grab every item advertised in a commercial the second it comes out. Yeah...your kid actually does see that. Yeah...your kid will fall for the bs if you do.

If you're looking to get kids into critical thinking, I highly recommend the book 'Maybe yes, maybe no' by Dan Barker. It's a great way to introduce little kids to the idea of skepticism. I read it when I was a kid 👍 so it's been around a while, but it's still good.

Another scam are subscription beauty boxes. I mean it is ok, when you receive sample, travel sizes or even full sizes that work as marketing for skincare brands to get more people to try their stuff. It makes sense. But then there are these strange luxury brands that appear in so many of those boxes but noone has ever heard of them before. They only exist to make the value of the boxes to seem larger. Then there are also designer brand products after their "best before" date...

Yes thank you for bringing up the shady packaging! I’m always checking products in general for how much I’m getting for my buck, so when I got into skincare I was really shocked at how obscene some of the packaging is! I’m always eyeing those oz/mL though 👀 I’m not paying $40 for 2 oz. in a huge seeming bottle when I could get 4 oz. for $20 from a cheaper company with better ingredients anyways! I hate how shady big, fancy companies can be with their ingredients too! There’s this shop in our mall called like Hermastaise or something and I went on their website to look for ingredients for the sample they gave me and couldn’t find anything but “we have flakes of real gold and bits of real diamond and flakes of real pearl in our products” and I tossed the sample straight to the bin. Their prices were loud and clear though, $200 for 2 oz with no ingredient list in sight? 🤮 no thank you.

This is exactly why I only buy my skincare products in the stores. I do not save a ton of money, but I keep my skincare simple and try to only use products that do what they claim to do. I also try to keep my expectations realistic and I watch reviews from you Cassandra and from James Welsh, the 2 people who in my opinion are the most honest reviewers on UT. And then I educate myself in order to customize my own skincare from the products available and lets face it there are a ton to choose from 🤔🧐

This reminds me of when I was a little girl, we had these baby doll bottles with fake milk in them. It looked like the bottle was full and as you tipped it, the liquid disappeared. What was really going on, was a secret panel that gave the illusion of being full but in reality, the entire contents of the liquid went into the cap. What you are describing in this video is the adult version of that.

After watching a lot of Cassandra’s videos, I used some of her recommended products + products with ingredients she suggests, and a medically derms suggestion(they also create videos not my own personal derm) the results have been so different for me. I live in Chicago so it’s cold at the moment and using these products both of these creators suggested have made my skin feel so moisturized today!I usually get flaky bc of the cold pretty quickly and I am not currently flaky nor do I feel dried out. She’s one of the realest skin care creators and I will continue to trust Cassandra!

I love this. Personally I have a question about a skincare type issue. Myself and many others have stretch marks. Mine have long faded but I do not enjoy the texture of them. I know that micro needling is supposed to be helpful for stretch marks. I ran across a procedure basically called inkless tattooing where they tattoo using helpful skin ingredient like vitamin e across your stretch marks. This is supposed to help with collagen production and smoothing. I wondered how effective this would be. I particularly I wondered about the depth of the penetration compared to laser micro needling as a factor. I would love a video discussing if this is a more effective and less costly therapy or just another scam.

You can't get rid of stretch marks. The damaged from the inside out and nothing can just magically pull stretch skin back together, just think of an elastic fabric overstretched, there's no way to ever unstretch it

I make a whipped body butter with shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, hempseed oil, vitamin e, aloe vera gel & some essential oils. It's helped to fade deep scars I've had for over 20 yrs. I had 27 stitches in my arm & the scar was numb & shiny & thick. I also had another one on my knee since I was about 7. The only reason I started making my own body butter is because I have allergies to everything & noticed as I got older it got worse. I wanted something natural that wouldn't make my skin itch constantly. It had nothing to do with trying to reduce scars & it really is just an unexpected side effect. I had no idea till the last few months. After about 2 yrs I just realized one day the stitches scars I had were fading. They weren't so thick & the shininess has diminished & it looks more skin like. The numbness is totally gone & the feeling has come back. I also have minimal stretch marks that have also faded. They are still there but don't look so white & shiny & the thicker ones are thinning out. Just so you know I'm not a seller although I will sometimes gift it. It's also such a slow & gradual process I didn't even notice it till 2yrs later. In my experience you CAN reduce scars. I don't like the word "can't" When people tell me " you can't do this...or that" I'm like "Maybe YOU can't" & I will always find a way. Tell me "That's impossible" & my response will always be "Maybe for YOU" & I'll prove them wrong lol. I've been that way since I was a kid. Anyways...I'm not saying it will completely vanish your scars over night lol. I've only been using it for just over 2 yrs. They may always kinda be there...who knows. I didn't start making it for that purpose anyways. Even without that effect it's still the most amazing body butter I've ever used & my friends who have tried it agree. I've wasted a ton of $ in the past falling for similar scams like these. Wasted tons of $ trying to find that one product I wasn't allergic to. Wasted tons of $ buying products to clear up acne that only made it worse. I make several of my own products now besides body butter & they all work way better than anything I've bought in store. I even cleared up my complexion issues with my own face soap. I guess my point is to take your power back & stop wasting your money by learning how to do these things yourself. Of course do your own research & be careful. There is misinformation with everything. Check multiple sources. Also know that some of these ingredients may seem expensive @ first but they are the base for multiple products & will make multiple batches. It will end up saving you hundreds of $$$ in the long run.

I make my own skin and hair care products. The biggest expense is in packaging and labels. Luxury oils and ingredients for wrinkles are quite inexpensive. I use luxury oils and cosmeceuticals in my products. And I do not use useless “junk” ingredients that does not need to be there. Nor do I use a more than 1 preservative. I can guarantee my products will mold or go rancid eventually if you do not use them. I do not use “fillers” or any ingredient that doesn’t need to be in it. I also do not advertise or use social media to sell my products. I do a craft show once a year (maybe) and have a few regular customers and that is perfect for me. The beauty industry is a scam. Ingredients are inexpensive even luxury ingredients. It’s packaging/labels/advertising that increases the cost.
