I really appreciate these videos! I look up to you a lot as a biochemist and woman in STEM
I was wondering if you could a video on products and advice for oily skin 🥺
Yes please!
Can you do a top skincare brands list? Best ingredients, price, formula, sourcing, etc... ? Love your videos!
Kenna wants to meet up with the rest of the science babes
Me: cries in another part of the globe😭😭
‼️‼️‼️
Saaaaame for me haha. I would've come for sure
Same here I live in Florida 😢
Would you ever consider creating an ASMR video? Because oh my gosh..your voice is SO soothing. I’m watching this just before bed and suddenly I am so relaxed and tired. The natural rhythm of your speech is just so heckin lovely!
I’m so super curious to know how many people would also love just to hear you talk about skincare and tools and products in an asmr tone. The sound of latex gloves + your voice. Such wowww 💗
Also, I love your video! I’m going to follow this step-by-step 💗
Informative and also the unintentional asmr 😍👏
Definitely one of my favorite videos you’ve made so far! Thank you for not skipping ahead, loved this! I’ve really been wanting to start doing this, but wanted to find a routine from someone that I trust …and then I found this! How did I miss this one? Guess I was super busy during the holidays. Thank you, Kenna! 🤗
wow this is truly my favorite video on this entire platform lmao thank you for sharing this knowledge!!! I struggle so much with puffiness and jawline tension and after following this with you my face looked twice as defined yay
Ive seen people who do this to their face to achieve a slimmer result, but the girl said it took 6 months to see results. I gave up after 3 nights in a row lol. I feel inspired to try again!!
Currently dealing with acne scarring and would greatly appreciate any advise or recommendation.
Thank you for all of your educational and informative videos.
*me seeing that you posted a video while I'm at work*
"well guess it's a perfect time to have a coffee break and watch it!" 🥰☕
Followed you step by step and I feel great 👍🏼 I actually was feeling some little bits coming out of my pores as I was massaging. Thank you for sharing.
Can you do a review of the Monat brand. I’ve heard awful and good things about the brand. I’d love to hear your science perspective
Thanks, Kenna I really needed it. I noticed that my right side was tenser than the left side. I muse have spent a good 30 minutes -60minutes, but who's counting. My face thank you. 😍
I've always wanted to learn how to massage my skin, but those Asian tutorials were so complicated and didn't really explain much. Especially the part about blackheads was very useful, I'll definitely try it. Thank you!
This was very helpful and soothing. I use regulary a dermaroller but never done any facial massage
Kennnnnna you’re amazing. I love your videos. I always learn something from your videos. But please don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make every video so I’m depth and intense to make, I’d watch whatever you put out 💕
This was extremely helpful. My grandmother showed me how she applied her moisturizer and it was always in the upwards motion especially the neck. What I don't understand much about is lymphatic drainage. What is it, why do we have it, what does it cause, where does it go if we massaged our faces correctly, will we see a difference in our face? Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos.💜💜💜
Super useful video! Thank you for posting it! I know that I will view it multiple times until I learn all the techniques!
Hi Kenna, thank you so much! I just tried it, and feels amazing. Can you please make a full length video of this massage to follow through. Thank you again!
This is what I need. Every other lymphatic drainage video I’ve utilized wants you to be sort of rough and I hated it.
My favourite part of getting facials! I should really implement this in to my skincare routine! 😁
Do you recommend Burt’s Bees sensitive skin care line? I currently use their products (foaming cleanser & moisturizer) and so far it’s the best I’ve used for my sensitive combo skin and I’m curious to hear what you think!
Hi Kenna. How are you?
Hey, Is there like scientific proof that this lymphatic draining massage is effective? I mean, for tension relief is really effective but what about actual scientific proof and evidence that shows this works for lymphatic and anti aging purposes. Thank you 😊💚
I was thinking the same thing! Like, what is lymphatic drainage?
Good question.
@@TommyMoritz
Yeah!
It's a fluid that transport toxins, it is located closed to the surface. I couldn't find a single scientific article that says this method works for that matters. It is often used in many cosmetic procedures however it isn't actual and factual evidence this works. It's just an hypothesis not proved. I am intrigued by this method, hope Kenna answer our doubts about this. 😀👀
This has mostly been studied for sports recovery, there is not much funding for facial massage lymph drainage but the concept remains the same. Manual lymphatic drainage techniques are hypothesized to stimulate the lymphatic system, increase cell waste removal via the lymph system, improve body fluid dynamics to reduce swelling, and reduce overall cell stress in the worked areas. But you are correct in that the concept is based on hypothesis, theory and preliminary evidence. There are no double blind placebo studies stating manual lymphatic drainage is effective in any of those areas. Unfortunately most randomized clinical studies must have some type of financial benefit to those funding the study, and with manual lymphatic drainage it is pretty difficult to patent or maintain rights to a certain technique. If someone were to do this study they would have to detail the methods used and then anyone could adopt this into their practice. I hope this helps clarify :)
@@KennaWhitnell
Hi Kenna. Thanks for answering. I was curious about how a not proved method could be so talked/used everywhere (in the skincare world) without actual scientific evidence. Almost like those devices that claim to increase collagen production just by rubbing it on the face... wich Is kind of absurd on biological terms.
Thank you for clarifying this to me. 😊✨
Hey Kenna! I was wondering if you could talk about those “makeup removing towels” I bought one recently and it removes my makeup amazingly but I wonder if it’s actually safe
Up
Just giggling - you know your facial massage is damn good when you black out. 😂
You’re cute, just had to giggle. Ok, on to the rest of the video.
Hey Kenna could you do a video on dermarolling? And whether its safe to do at home?
I love facial massage too! 😍 been doing it foa a year and half and it helps my skin a lot. ✨✨
Hi Kenna! Love your channel and your videos have inspired me to look into becoming a geneticist/biochemist. ❤️ Can you do a video on how to correct dry under eyes and what ingredients to look for in eye creams and concealers? I’ve tried so many eye creams and while some do add a bit of moisture back in I find it doesn’t last and I have to switch to something else.
would you be able to make a video on reviewing shave gels and what shave gels are best to use, including for the bikini area?
First time watching , thanks for the info
Btw , you are so beautiful 🥰
Wow I tried this and it really did clear out my blackheads! Way better than a pore strip lol
Damn it. I just discovered her and I live in the Toronto area! Hope she does another meet up some day.
When is the cleanser restocking?? I just got the serum and moisturizer in the mail last week and I am OBSESSED! I cannot wait to try the cleaner!!! ❤️
Natalee Pospical they have to reproduce it from a new manufacturer because the first units from the launch were produced incorrectly
Would this be beneficial to do everyday and should your normal skincare routine be after this or when during your routine should it be done?
Can u recomend any ingredients for undereye bags?
I’m about ten minutes in and I think I’ll go grab my vitamin E oil and massage along.
So I was using vitamin e oil for a while and it broke me out, but if I wanna use an oil and I’m acne prone, avocado oil and hemp seed oil won’t break me out?
I’ve been avoiding oils since but if that’s the case I’d love to start using them!
Unrelated to the video... but I was wondering if you could review the brand Ethique, they're a plastic free body care brand that I'm very interested in. They have solid skincare products that I really want to try but I'm unsure if the ingredients are any good. xx
Great video! Would love to hear what you think about those little suction machines for your face😊
Thoughts on facial rollers / massagers? I've been contemplating them but I don't know if it is just a gimmicky product... Anybody? 😅💜
Thank you! This is on my to do list for the weekend!
Love this video especially since i love taking care of my skin now that im getting older haha
Love your superior knowledge and approachable style! Recently I watched a UA-cam esthetician doing a facial massage where she was literally tugging at the lower third of her face to demonstrate how to relieve facial lower third sagging and lines. I was horrified, was always taught never to pull or tug at your skin! So I trust you much more than that person and am going to try your method. While I am about 40 years older than you, your recommendations seem timeless!
How would you rate the newer "all natural " facial care line called Crunchi?
I have a jaw dislocation, not the one you put back in place... The other type, with ligaments and the meniscus. And... Well there's nothing to do except resting the ligaments and trying to unclenched it if your clench your jaw like a crazy... Like me.
The problem, outside my jaw, is that I now have a tension chain and these tensions leads to imbalances, bad posture, pains, etc. throughout my all body, coming from my jaw.
So ... I'll definitely try the massage. If it can help me even just a little bit with tensions in the face and the jaw it will at least be that !
I'm a foreigner dislocated is maybe not the word in my language we use the same word for a total dislocation of jaw, knee, shoulder and a dislocation like the one I have or a partial one, etc.
How does one make their own skincare products? Books that you would recommend?
Try finding nice organic products you can find easily at the market first. Dont over complicate the recipes. You can make your own face masks from egg white to tighten skin, coconut oil and coffee to brighten skin and exfoliate, honey, avocado, yeast, cucumber on eyes or icecubes with rose water/ cucumber. Lots of possibilities. Sorry i dont have any book in particular to recommend. But if you google homemade skincare you can read and decide yourself which recipe will suit you😃
do you do this after you wash your face or before? does it make a difference?
Oh that’s great! Will Atilis beauty have any testers at the market? I’ve been looking at the products for a long time but was always worried about my sensitive skin/allergies and wanted to test on my skin before buying. But I’m from downtown Toronto so I’ll def be at the market! Thanks so much
Yes we will have testers!!! 💕🤗
@@KennaWhitnell Please restock the cleanser! xx ❤️
Do you avoid areas with active breakouts when massaging?
It would be good to avoid active breakouts because you can spread the bacteria, and it hurts to stimulate inflamed acne.
Jasmine Flores great points! Thanks!!
Hi. Can you do the best and safest way to remove/extract blackheads?
Thank you! So excited to try this 😊
What do you suggest to do the eye part in the morning? I cannot use oil as it will make my makeup slip... Will try the full routine tomorrow night though with my jojoba oil :)
What is on your nails? I love it!
What do you think about red light treatments? I see some ppl buy them and they are very expensive, but do they give much benefit?
Angelica I second this question!!
Me too, also all these fancy device like dermaroller, and jade roller, and microcurrent... There are so many
@@MegaDniela I use a dermaroller and I have less wrinkles
@@agnesskibicka mmm... There is a dermatologist on UA-cam, don't remember his name, he says that detmaroller are effective only on acne scars.... To be honest I'm a bit afraid to try though
@@MegaDniela hmm. I have used for the last 6 months and I think my skin is more elastic. Im not getting new wrinkles at least. I dont know. I even show it in one of my videos :). Its meant to give the skin a kick to create more collagen
Hi can I use almond oil if I have oily skin
Please reply
Kenna, I don't know if this falls under your expertise but a few years ago I came off birth control, was on it for about 10 years (the pill and in the end IUD) and realized that it thinned my hair out like crazy! I lost half of it gradually over the years and was told I might get a third of what I lost back, it's slowly growing in, but is there anything I can do to help my hair in this situation and can you talk about birth control and it's effects on the body? xx
Hi Josée, I always had lots of hair shedding so I did some reading about the argument. My understanding is that the only drug proved to help with hair loss is called minoxidil. However when you stop the treatment the loss may come back. An other substance that has some resech behind is caffeine. I decided to use a caffeine shampoo because I can use it all the time and I do believe it helped a lot. However the best drug I've used for my hair isthe projestinic pill. I explain. I was using the projestinic pill as birth control and my hair where getting fuller and fuller with no shedding, like at all. I initially thought it was the comulative effect of my caffeine shampoo. Few months ago I stopped the pill because I didn't need it and my hair start to shed back. One of my friend had a baby recently and she was complaining that her hair were really nice during pregnancy and now she is losing them like crazy. So the penny drooped. It was the pill making my hair so full, progesterone is one of the main hormones during pregnancy. I did some reading and its actually used topical for hair loss. You could ask your doctor about minoxidil, or topical progesterone, you can also try the caffeine shampoo( you need to wash your hair anyway). Sorry for the long message. Hope this help
Yayy, this was really helpful and informative, thanks!
i agree ♥️
Kenna we need you for the Shane and Jeffree palette
Would you recommend using olive oil or coconut oil for this purpose? I know olive oil is not the best for face but what if I wash it off after ? Btw I found out about your channel a few days ago and I love how much I learned already. Makes me want to become a chemist/biochemist/chemical engineer/pharmacist after graduating for a technical mathematician!!!
She’s mentioned before that coconut clogs pores. I forget the word. She said it ^^ comosomething.
Kelsey martens comedogenic 😊
I lost my jade roller so I have to use my fingers for my jawline 🙃 motivationaldoc helped me tremendously when I was so sick I couldn’t breathe. So these are so good to do!!
Hi, Nice comforting facial massage! I like the neck and jaw massage..I'm trying it tonight. xoxo
Did you buy the book by Olivia Green, Anti aging Facial Massage? I am looking for reviews on that book?
the massage starts at 7:59 💕
I was thinking about you today 😍 I have been missing your videos 🥰
Could you please recommend more types of oils for this? :) Where I live, avocado oil and hempseed oil is very expensive (30-40x the price of regular sunflower seed oil). Is perhaps almond oil, walnut oil or peanut oil good for this purpose? Thank you! ^^
I bought your InflorEssence moisturizer, and on the back of the bottle it literally says "Apply over InflorEssence Moisturizer morning and evening". Gotta be a typo, right?
Might mess around and drive 2 hours to see you!
Shoot. I’m just now seeing this and tomorrow’s the last day and I have tickets already for the gourmet food and wine show. I could have totally came early today (Saturday) if I knew early. Shux. I love stackd I had only been once during nuit Blanche so been meaning to go back and check out the vendors and shops in the market. Will see if I can make it out.
We will be there until dec 8! I’ll be announcing more dates that I will be there on my Instagram!
Thank you Kenna ... I really need to do this. 💕🌺💕 #sciecebabe
Hi Kenna, could you make a video on skin devices please? Jade roller, microcurrent device, detmaroller etc... There are many around these days, but I don't understand if there is any scientific evidence to prove that they do anything. Thanks
I use a dermaroller. Showed on my channel. I have less wrinkles :)
Very nice! Thank you so much!!!
Instead of using our fingers, Would it be better or as equally bebe to use a face roller?
beneficial*
so relaxing just to watch you....
Adorable 🥰
Is this works for 42 years old skin?
Wish I could attend...have fun
Double chin massage??
Does she have lip fillers?
Happylovepeace1 she said in her last video she doesn’t
I tried this and broke out. My cheeks and nose was covered in pimples for months. And now too there are scars from them. Its been over 6 months . I dont recommend doing this everyday. Probably just once a month. Also i did use coconut oil ( never use it) for anyone looking to try this
Thank you
I need a checklist with pictures 😂
Does Altilis Beauty have a permanent spot in Stackt Market or is it just for Nov 22-24?
We will be there nov 22- dec 8!!
Stupid question : why didn't you take your necklace off?
As you’re an environmentalist, I’d love to hear about veganism and how this all incorporates into your world view and beauty line!
What are you wearing here. I like the straps
Hello
Wish I had known about this ahead of time to clear my schedule this weekend.. I’m from the Etobicoke area and would have loved to come meet you 😩 Any future meetups planned??
