Can you discuss deodorant and aluminum safety? Thanks!
10000% safe (check out dr.dray)
munmilks I was about to recommend her!!
Watch dr. Dray
Sarah C I have, but she is a bit odd in her perspectives of some stuff. I want a chemists point of view on it and not that “it hasn’t been shown “ explanation.
@@kadamowicz68 Dermatologists are doctors...they have to study chemistry and the biochemistry of our skin...
Can you please make a video on Tati's brand, Halo Beauty? (she makes vitamin supplements)
PS. I really do appreciate that now you upload five times a week! Amazing content! Love you, from Hungary! :)
yesss!
estelle s Yes please!
estelle s many other brands are just as good as Tatis Halo and have a far better pricepoint
@@kathleencoomans8210yes, I was thinking the same thing! can you give me some recommendation maybe? 😊
Good content? She always delivers
What about reviewing Halo Beauty?
Michael Towers yesss please 🙏🏼
yeessss
Michael Towers they are no better than many other cheaper brands...nothing special
They r bullshit. Google it

I am loving these frequent uploads! I know it’s a lot of work, and I appreciate it!
Literally last night as I was washing my face with my Clarisonic, I was wishing you had a video on it annnnd today you upload one 😂 wth!! Thank you
Same!!! I was wondering what her thoughts were! 😂
I realize this seems crazy.. but me too!
I have a video on me using my Clarisonic Mia
❤️
Youre posting so much! Love it❤
I just want every single video you make to have millions of views because the SCIENCE BABE QUEEN deserves it!! Thank you for actually educating your audience! 🙌
Thanks,Kenna.😁
What do you think about facerollers? Swiss clinic,derma roll,etc...🙏
While the Clarasonic was once loved, it seems a lot of people are suddenly coming out and talking against it. But like you mentioned, as long as you don't use it daily, it's actually very useful. I stopped using it for about a yr because I never got around to getting new brush heads either and my face got really rough. After I finally decided to get a new brush head, just a weeks worth of use and my skin was so smooth and soft, especially around my jaw line where the texture was getting the worst. I know it's bad, but I couldn't stop touching my face, lol. I still don't use it every day, but am no longer going to go months/yrs without it again!
I personally recommend investing in an actual Clarasonic since, like you mentioned (again), it doesn't spin, just vibrates. So it's not as harsh as knockoffs that do spin. I also suggest getting the sensitive skin head, regardless of what is told to you by a sales person. Even that one is too rough for daily use. The one I use daily is the Cashmere head since it's so soft. I absolutely looove that one! And it's gentle enough for daily use, even twice a day use. I use the regular sensitive brush head for my 2-3 times a week exfoliation. Also, I suggest taking off your makeup (or at least majority if wearing heavy makeup) with micellar water or some other non-cleansing method before going in with the cleanser. You'll save way more cleanser this way and your brush heads will last so much longer doing that.
In conclusion, if used correctly and not as suggested by sales people, it's actually really beneficial and glad to hear you agree as well.
Yes!!! I’m so glad you reviewed this.
Thanks!
Kenna, your videos are getting better each time. Keep up the good work and I’m sure you’ll be a pro UA-cam reviewer in no time! You’re such a natural beauty and I love the fact you aren’t caked with makeup which makes you more relatable to the average viewer.
Hi Kenna! Love all the uploads. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the PMD Personal Microderm device!
I love listening to you talk. So down to earth and to the point with nice inflection and pacing.
Can u discuss about hair products like shampoo and conditioner? Is sulfate, silicon and other chemicals really that bad for hair?
You are absolutely stunning in this video! Thank you for all the hard work and information
Just ordered your skincare line yesterday and I’m so excited to try it! I’m curious on what you’re thoughts are on toners! I’m so used to 3 steps systems being like “Step 2: Toner” but the Altilis system has a serum, just want to know your thoughts and opinions are! 💛
I would love your opinion on dermaplaning with surgical blade.
I’m curious to know what you think about the FOREO products!
Thank you Kenna! 🙏🏽
Would love a video on shampoo and silicones/parabens and additives and how they work and what is actually harmful for our hair and scalp health from your perspective..
Claudia Angelina very true! I learned that too and stopped using silicones in hair products.. I really can see why you want to reach for them, especially if you have hair like mine, not necessarily dry but I deal with lots of frizz and it’s hard to tend to and make look nice.. 🤷🏻♀️
I think it would be nice to educate people and perhaps give alternatives on how to achieve that smoothness through other ingredients?
Yes loving these types of videos. Would love how to properly sanitize our beauty sponges and brushes.
Hi Kenna! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I had a question, what are your thoughts on all the Dr. Bronner's products?
Was actually really curious about cleansing brushes do supper excited about this video!
Would love your thoughts on the foreo silicone style cleansing ‘brushes’ !
Thank God I was literally thinking about buying one this thursday! Great timing
Uploads every day??? What a queen!
Ugh i love your videos!! Thank you!
Hey Boo ! Do you have any opinions or insight on the benefits of using Jojoba oil / Argan oil / Grape seed oil on the face ?? Specifically towards dry and oily acne prone skin ! Thanks
Watch Dr. Dray's videos on these oils
I've got combination, acne prone skin and tea tree oil worked wonders for my acne and redness. Just thought I'd share!
I know that Jojoba oil is the closest structure that resembles our own natural sebum 😊
And shea butter too! I use it as a moisturizer and it’s made my face super soft and even. It would be nice to hear her opinion on it
Micha do you mix it with anything or just apply?
love u kennaa!!!!
Your videos are the BEST. Thank you!!!! I don't know if you've covered it yet but can you discuss essential oils in skincare? I've heard such conflicting info.
Hi Kenna, thanks for this video! You mentioned that the vibration is better than the ones that rotate by itself.. But in your reaction vid about Bella Thornes Skin Routine you actually said (or at least that's what I received) that any physical "peeling" or "treatment" is too strong for the sensitive face skin.. But something like a vibrating Brush is okay then? :)
I love your content! So informative and helpful. Keep it up :)
I have had mine for around 12 years, love it!!
I was hoping for this video from you just yesterday! You must've read my mind.
Never clicked this fast before. Thanks!
I have the Micheal Todd cleansing brush. It vibrates like the clarisonic. I like it but I often forget to use it.
I absolutely LOVE my Clarisonic. I’ve had it for 2, going on 3 years and I won’t go without it. I use it every single time I wash my face, minus maybe a handful of times. My face has/had never been so soft. Struggled with acne for a long time, and I really don’t anymore. I don’t know if it’s because of my age or just my skincare routine, but I definitely think it helped. I recommend it to nearly everyone.
Thanks so much for this! I use the Clarisonic but ive heard mixed things about it being too rough on the face even the sensitive ones. I cant wait to try your skincare line when I can afford it!!
Mary Varsalona My skin is crazy sensitive but they have I believe it’s called the Luxe gentle cleanse brush that I’ve never had an issue with!
The Clarisonic foundation brush is honestly my favorite! I bought it when there was a special holiday deal where you got the foundation brush and a cleansing brush head in a pack, and I’m so happy I decided to splurge on it. It blends out cream contour like a DREAM! I don’t like it for all of my foundations, but most of them I love the way it blends out. It blends better than any brush or sponge I’ve ever used.
I have been thinking about one of these. I had the earlier version but hardly used it
The PMD tool- does it work better than other exfoliation methods?
Can you please do a video on the best skincare products for people with very red/sensitive skin? I have early onset rosacea and you're the only person I trust to tell me what ingredients to look for!
OMG! You answered my question, I asked both on your Instagram and youtube. Thank you so much!!
Please do a review over the Neutrogena acne spot treatment light and the acne light mask
ive read somewhere that foreo is better than clarisonic for hygienic purposes. i hope u review foreo too.
Bish. Effing killing it. This is a perfect channel for professionals, all the shit I KNOW i am not being told with influencers. Just another level 👍👏
Can you please post about your opinion on beauty blenders and other makeup sponges? If you recommend them and how often they should be cleaned or swapped out? Thanks! Love your channel!!
🔥and what about foreos?
Christine Santos good question! I have both a Clarisonic and a Foreo. I tend to use the Clarisonic more often, but the foreo also vibrates so maybe they aren’t too damaging either.
Q Yeah that's why I asked! They are so similar, just wanted to see if our smarty girl could shed us some light because I own a Foreo but here in Brazil I never actually heard of this Clarisonic.
Kenna should do a series based on beauty technology such as Foreos/Clarisonics and even compare a few that are related cause maybe some types of skin and routines do better with one or the other, idk. Also, sorry about my English, it isn't my first language.
Your English is great!! I adore Kenna. I’ve learned so much. ♥️
Yes Im interested too! Especially because there isnt the upkeep of continuous purchase of brush heads. The foreo seems more simple to clean ( and it looks prettier too haha!) I havent got either but Ive been more interested in the foreo!
@@hayleyemma7953 Amazon sells cheaper options that are like the foreo if you want to try out the concept before spending a ton of money.
Hey Kenna! Can you discuss the ingredients in the Halo Beauty supplements? ☺️
Kourtney Duff no better than many other cheaper multi vitamins
I am a big fan of the foreo luna cleansing brush. I'm into it because it's a one-time purchase (no replacement brusheads). It also doesn't use circular motions either, it uses T-sonic" vibrations and it's made of silicone, which I find is easier to clean. Would that be a tool you would recommend?
Hi, I'd like to know what do you think about the FOREO brushes...
I agree! I loved my clarisonic but found myself not using it because the brush heads are soo expensive. 🙄
This was the most helpful informative videos on the Clarisonic thank you 😊
How do you feel about silicone vibrating brushes like the FOREO Luna? You don't have to replace brush heads and it doesn't spin, simply vibrates. It's also about half the price. I don't own one, but I've been thinking about purchasing one!
How about Foreo? I feel like the cleansing surface is just so much easier to clean well. And it vibrates as well.
I have had my Clarisonic for at least 3 years and absolutely love it! My pores have never looked better. I have tried so many products and nothing gave me results as quickly and dramatically as my Clarisonic. I really loved the Cashmere brush head because it was super soft and gentle but I’m having trouble finding it so I picked up the Daily Radiance one at the Ulta sale recently and it is very nice. Soft bristles on the inside and regular ones on the outside make it a good compromise. I use mine probably 4-5 nights a week. One thing many people don’t realize is that the brush heads are made in two parts and can be used individually. Also, for the people who think they’re too pricey, check out HSN or QVC. They often have amazing deals on Clarisonic and replacement heads. I tried the Foreo Luna and wasn’t really impressed with how it made my skin feel. The battery life is amazing but I found it hard to hold and impossible to get in certain areas of my face, Do you have an opinion or have you tried the Face Halos? They are round reusable face clothes that come in a pack of three and each lasts for approx. a month. Supposedly, you use them with no cleanser...???
Could you also take a look at vibrating silicone cleansing devices like the PMD clean? To me, the bristles are able to exfoliate away dead and flaky skin that is ‘ready’ to come off (which I have a lot of due to my topical isotretinoin) without any harshness
Please do your review about the Foreo tool for cleansing skin
❤❤❤
Video everyday? YAS KENNAAAA
Do you have the body attachment? What do you think about it?
If you keep an eye out Ulta includes the brush heads in the 21 days of beauty sometimes. I try and stock up on them then. They were just on sale Sept 13 for $13.50-$16 depending on the brush head.
My dermathologist told me that it can enlarge your pores and if you have acne diffuse the bacterias, so idk !
kickass6902 Same. I go to a dermatologist, and she said that this can also spread my acne and give me broken capillaries.
Yep. Derms usually say to avoid anything other than fingers or a gentle wash cloth.
Helen Im it really depends on a persons skin type. Also, opinions vary upon skincare professionals. I am a former aesthetician. Sensitive skin can have negative side effects. It can greatly improve a persons complexion. I have benefited from this product. I plan on use this forever.
How do you compare the clarisonic to the foreo luna?
I'm glad the Clarisonic is safe for my skin! I was wondering if it would cause micro tears (like an apricot or walnut scrub would). Ive been on the fence about getting one of these for so long!
Hey Kenna, is shaving your face a dangerous form of physical exfoliation? I know it has become popular to shave off the peach fuzz with a brow-shaper type of razor. Just curious what your thoughts are on that. 😊
What active ingredients would you recommend to have in your serum if you’re looking for more glowy skin?
I found one for 99 usd from ulta. Is that a good one?
What do you think of the foreo??
Does the brush oscillate?
You just answered my question. If I have to do all of the work, it’s not worth it.
Yes I have used the Clarisonic for 5 years too, I buy my brush heads on Amazon. It feels so nice on my skin and brushes away dead skin. I wash and spray my brush heads with alcohol before storing. It is one of my best skin care purchases. ❤️. Could you do a review on the Foreo Luna skin cleaner or a duplicate from Amazon? 😊
Careful of the ones you buy on eBay and Amazon I tried the less expensive route being that way too and they were knock off brushes. It caused me 10 days on antibiotics due to tiny tears made on my skin, I turned into a beat red, swollen Monster for almost a week. It was awful. It burned so badly because of the tiny tears...just a friendly FYI.
@@Michelle-db8iz Oh no. Sorry to hear this happened to you. We certainly must be careful what we purchase on these sites. Thanks for letting me know. xoxo
@@robinswaytoday Yes we do and you're welcome 💕
I use the Clinique Sonic System which has the same vibrating feature as your one! I got the one "For Men" (cause it was grey), but I don't really see or get the difference between their brush heads.
hey there! You were talking about keeping the brush head clean. I dont have a clarisonic, but i do use makeup brushes. And i probably dont clean em enough.. whats the best way to keep em hygienic? And is there maybe an alternative for makeup brushes? even after i clean my em i feel like they are just a breeding zone for gross stuff.. i already stopped using brushes as much as possible , i just use my (clean) fingers, but for blush/bronzer and eye shadow... nothing does it like a brush...
I have had a Clarisonic for 5 years as well! Has been worth it to me! In the winter here in Indiana I do not use it as frequently as in the summer.
Could you make a video discussing the dermapore by dermaflash, or a similar product? It looks cool but I want to know if it's actually effective and worth the price. I love your videos and I'm so glad I found your channel! ❤
I have had the cheap spin brush and now own the Clarisonic, I say it’s TOTALLY worth the money! I buy the brushes at ulta when they go on sale! I hear people say not to use them but my skin is so much better with using my Clarisonic!
I have been using this about 2-3x/week for a few months now and I've been so broken out ever since (and I haven't changed anything else with my skincare). Although I feel it does an amazing job at cleaning my skin and I felt I was actually feeling my skin for the first time since I started using it, I don't think it's worth the breakouts. Does anyone know what could be causing the breakouts? I've researched online and I've only seen reports of breakouts during the first week or two of using it.
The price of the Mia 2 has dropped, I got mine for $125 in QVC with a full size Tatcha cleanser however what about the Foreo silicone battery operated face cleanser? I hear those are supposed to be good they also come with a app for your phone too. Just curious about the difference.
Would your review of the foreo be the same
What do you think about the foreo Luna?
I use a Foreo. Gentle and no extra cost or hassle of replacement brushes. I love it!
Thoughts on the foreo luna products maybe in comparison :)
Where do u get this?
Hey!! I would love to see a video talking about what ingredients to stay away from in the beauty world? Mainly makeup, possibly skincare. And I have a question hopefully you can answer, let’s say talc is an ingredient to use.. it it better to use a product with talk in the lower section of the ingredient list? Instead of being one of the top ingredients? That makes a difference right???
could you talk about the fore luna? it seems really cool but i wonder if the bigger silicone bristles even do anything?:) love your content its so interesting!
Katharina I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but the Clarisonic helps my rosacea and the Foreo made it flare up terribly. I use the softest brush head Clarisonic makes (not the ones with silicone on them) and it deep cleans without irritation. The Foreo was so irritating my whole face flared with red Rosacea bumps. I think it depends on how sensitive your skin is to abrasion. If you have more “normal” skin it’s probably fine.
Can you review the neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair line? Specifically the lotion and serum?
What about foreo luna, is it worth it?
I got mine a month ago on a sale, with three brush heads, although I don’t use the facial massager, I do think it’s a neat idea. I use it at night before head, only when I feel as if my skin needs a bit more exfoliating because I have very sensitive & dry skin. So it’s not an everyday use for me but definitely every other day, I can tell a big difference within the first month that my skin feels like it can breathe a bit more. It was a splurge gift for myself but I have always dealt with problematic skin throughout my life & I don’t want to say this product has changed my life or anything but it has made a difference in the way my skin looks. With facial masks & cleansers of course. Also SPF. I see that a lot of women in the questions portion of certain forums seem to think that the brush does all the magic, it’s a healthy regimen as you know your skin that helps the most!
Thanks so much for this review, it’s actually the best one I’ve seen yet for the Clarisonic.
Also new subber! ✅👻
I love my Clarisonic. I use it once a day, after I remove my makeup. It’s definitely helped me get a better cleanse, and my acne has reduced 100%! I never want to be without it.
Hi Kenna! May i recommend you switch to the new number one cleansing device from NuSkin, the LumiSpa!! It is absolutely amazing in comparison to the clarisonic device.
I have super oily and acne prone skin. I recently stopped wearing foundation to clear it up but my face always gets so red I just use Airspun loose powder (the first ingredient is talc). I figured my skin is able to breathe better since it's just a thin layer but would it hurt my acne ?
The Clarisonic really is incredible. When I’m using it consistently after a break, my skin texture is smooth, not congested. Coworkers and friends notice a difference as well. I received my Mia 2 by asking my parents for it as my only Christmas present from both of them 3 years ago. I have traveled with it so many times, and handled it with the proper care at home. Used it on and off, it still works like new! YES the brush heads get pricey BUT I always buy mine 50% off during the Ulta 21 days of beauty sale, they’re always in there. Depending on my current budget might grab a few, or just grab the 1 at half off. That’s how I have managed to afford keeping up with the cost. However, I do know not everyone has access to Ulta. Therefore, this is tip for those who do have an Ulta. For anyone who is looking into buying one, I definitely recommend looking for a video created by Clarisonic to show you the motions of using it so you aren’t brushing too rough on your skin. It’s doing 99% of the work for you, so don’t feel you have to go in wild circular motions
the best natural/aluminum free deodorant?
Kenna!! Your Amazing
It's the best face tool ever! I can't go back to cleaning my face with my fingers anymore. It has helped me remove acne for good of my face. I love it!
I love my clarisonic. I do use alot of acid exfoliants so I use the lux brush head that is super soft.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the foreo luna
I would like to know your opinion, as a scientist, about beauty suppliments. They can be expensive and have lots of claims. Are they worth it and are they studies on their effectiveness?
Some use it for foundation application and they get good coverage. What do you think about this? Has anyeone else used it this way, and is it good coverage?
I thought she said in the bella throne reaction video that she doesn’t recommend ever using a physical exfoliant on the face and using a chemical exfoliant instead? Am I wrong or crazy lol? Im so confused as I LOVE exfoliating.
I bought a Clarisonic for their foundation brush head because I have a chronic pain disorder and makeup application really hurts my wrist. I’d SO recommend the foundation brush heads if you use a more liquid based regimen or need accessible tools. I also have the massager, which kind of just vibrates and firms your skin, though it really gets your moisturizers and serums deep into your pores. I’m not always happy with with my Clarisonic, especially the price of the brush heads, but you stock up when you can and make do. 😅
