"I've had the opportunity to sell out many times, and that's actually why I waited so long to film this video for you about how I cleared my skin... because I had people trying to get me to promote certain products and just say that's what cleared my skin, and I put up a big middle finger and said 'I'm sorry, I would rather die honest than rich'" - Cassandra Bankson
This deserves a mic drop. ❤️
Steph Caravan ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I cure my acne very fast and with natural way with the help of *AcneCureOnline. Com* I Recommend this website to all of you who are suffering with acne.
God bless you 🙏
🙌🏾
Could you PRETTY PLEASE do a "What I Eat In a Day" and "What's In My Fridge?" I think it'd be so helpful for so many people!! ❤️
Thank you for talking about veganism!!❤️
💖
You are the only youtuber I can watch for 40 min)))) so full of knowledge and the way you explain things!!!
Ms Kate same here :))
'I would rather die honest, than rich' --my absolute favorite statement from this video. I have so much respect for your ability to stand up for what you believe. I am so grateful for your true stories! Thank you so much for sharing, you are exceptional.
Yes recipe video 🙏 and/or full day of eating!
TiffanyAlesha - Beauty, Fashion, Fitness yes please
Yes pls!!!! Help those of us who are wanting to become vegan but don’t know how or need a push to get there 😊
This was a short but informative guide. I would recommend this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friends starting out on their journeys to clear skin, getting rid of acne. Greatly liked this and loved the understanding into how my inside troubles can affect my skin.?
Omg sooo much resttictions and rules. It's just like my life circles around my acnes
Why isn't everyone breaking out because of eating dairy and meat? I often think I am super sensitive to everythink and that makes me mad about myself. Why do I have to put more effort in it than other people. I have enough stress in my working live without trying to fight the way I was raised for 24 years. It is freaking hard!
I totally agree, I guess it's natural selection :( ، same problem!
It's all about genetic sensitivity
Everyone has different tolerances and intolerances. It's all genetic. I can't eat any dairy or my skin explodes.
it's just genetics. i can eat anything and not worry about my weight, but if i eat dairy - i get acne. some people get farts
So I've actually been following your channel since I was thirteen years-old. I'm eighteen now, so going on this acne-clearing journey with you over the last five years has just been amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
Resources, medical studies, recommended documentaries articles and books are listed in the description for yhewww :) loves ya!
Cassandra Bankson What is you're MBTI type if I may ask?
I have suffered from acne all my life and I am also recovering from an eating disorder. I don't eat dairy and very little meat (cut out dairy due to acne) but because of my bone health that was negatively affected by my eating disorder I need to make sure I'm getting enough protein. What dairy supplement do you recommend for protein? Currently I use almond milk products
As ALWAYS, this video contains my personal experience in a ‘diary like form’; please note that everyones skin is different, and everyones body has different nutritional needs!! I am in no way trying to influence anyone to do certain things or make changes; regardless of if you do or don’t use this information, it makes no difference in my life. I wouldn’t even know! It is simple here to share my experience, and hopefully create a safe space for everyone to discuss their unique experiences, and struggles, with diet and acne. I ALWAYS encourage you to do your own research, question EVERYTHING, don’t take what I, (or anyone else) say as truth!! Always look into things for yourself, and make the right decisions for your beautiful self!!
How do you prep your skin for skin care in the morning if you only wash your face at night?
Hey! This is in regards to your last vid! I've heard a lot of people LOVE the trader joe's tea tree face wash which is castille soap and tea tree! Because two of your favorite products were castille soap and tea tree thought you might be interested! Also, sorry you feel you need to add a disclaimer :/
Yes more videos on raw foods please!
can you talk about the effect of alcohol on skin and health? -a college student
Cassandra Bankson .....thank you for this series.....I've been drinking everything in so far! I've been a cystic acne sufferer for decades and I have been following you for quite some time now. You're so inspirational and helpful! And "yes" a recipe video would be GREAT!
and now we need what i eat it the day, cause we need the example of what to eat for acne
Thank you for this video! I would love to see regular posts and videos about your favorite go-to anti-inflammatory meals, snacks etc! I have also noticed how much my skin improves and how much better I feel when I incorporate even just 1-2 extra servings of “fresh stuff” per day, in addition to drinking enough water. But I am terrible at figuring out meals and weekly eating plans to improve my anti-inflammatory game, so please give us ideas Cassandra! Love love love you!
Yes, please! :)
i eat A LOT of cucumbers it helped clear up my skin so much
Girl! Talk about an awakening!
When you first started your channel, I watched every video and appreciated your honesty. And like others, I noticed your videos and personality seemed to become fake and your videos bland. I stopped watching your channel for quite some time.
Then your video about how you cleared your skin popped into my recommendations. I was amazed at how clear your skin is and had to watch. And lemme tell you! Everything you say seems genuine, real, and thoughtful. You definitely have had an awakening and realization about the reality of foods. Heck yeah! Thank you for bringing back your honesty and speaking truth.
I'm a pescatarian, but don't consume dairy or eggs. Obviously, not raw. It's a new phase for me but I can already see changes. It's so refreshing to see others who have awoken and come to the realization of how our food affects us.
Absolute favorite video!! 😍😍 I love you Cassandra! So glad you are spreading this knowledge and valuable information. Going vegan has cleared my skin and let my body heal in ways I didn't expect.
How long did it take you to see results?
Aisha L So here's the back story. I've actually been dairy free for 5 years. I heard that dairy caused acne and figured why not try it, I had nothing to lose. My skin started to clear within a month or two. Not completely but a lot better than it's ever been. This was after I had done extensive laser treatments. They are supposedly the external form of Accutane. That cleared my skin for about 6 months but then my skin went right back to square one. I'm really glad I never did Accutane because I was really close to signing all those scary release papers about the side effects. At this time I was also on a cocktail of prescription drugs for health and acne. I later tried to reintroduce dairy to see if it really was the culprit, or if the medication was working and immediately had lactose intolerant symptoms and painful digestive issues. So yes dairy was causing my acne and my body hated it. Getting rid of harmful chemicals in my life, skin care, beauty products, laundry detergent, and cleaning products really fully cleared up my skin. I fully understand now that toxins and extra hormones were the cause of all my skin issues and my body was just trying to clear itself out. I later went full vegan for environmental and ethical reasons. Another side effect of being whole food plant based raw ish vegan is my hypothyroidism, depression, high blood pressure, and constant fatigue were finally gone! I don't take any pills now and am so happy! It's definitely worth it. Lilykoihawaii is an awesome UA-camr for health related Veganism. Sorry for the long winded answer haha.
Actually I'm vegetarian but still I have lots of acne does being vegan alone can treat the acne or not I have went to 5-6doctors taken isotretinoin or Accutane but still no result 😢😢
Cassandra can you please discuss how you conquered the bloating? Thank you so much for this video, it is heartwarming to see that you value truth over money gains. 🙏🏻
After watching this video, I have a question. Why do some people who do have an unhealthy diet, who do eat meat and diary have such amazing skin? How does that work?
I think it's about genetics and what your body is sensitive to
So true cuz my friend literally always sleeps in her makeup and eats meat and dairy and has a crappy skin routine but has clear amazing skin 😑
Genetics and hormones unfortunately
Yes it comes down to genetics definitely, it may show in other ways such as intestinal discomfort and bowl movements etc
Sia because different people are different
This has really been eye opening. This entire series so far. I am loving it. There are so many things I want to try to benefit my skin now. I love how much work you have put into this and appreciate you giving it as freely as you have. Thank you so much
I tried drinking a gallon of water per day. I just couldn't do it. I work a regular job and there is not always a toilet near by. I find myself peeing so much and holding pee in that i got a severe bladder infection. I drink as much water as i can but i wish my lifestyle allows me to drink much more.
One suggestion, maybe try to drink A BIG glass or two of water first thing in the morning which means that by the time you go to work you would have already gone to the toilet and then repeat the same after work and pee before you sleep and during work you can then just sip instead of trying to get soo much water in :)
the more your body get use to the larger water intake the less you will go as well, when you're not use to some much you will go more frequently. Once your body realizes you are constantly taking in that amount it will regulate absorbing that amount of water better :)
Aisha L i tried drinking alot of water at night and couldnt sleep.. had to pee so often. After one month i couldbt do it anymore. Uusally start my day with a tall glass of water.
pls do an example of what u eat in a day! love ur videos and have been watching you for years, weve been on a similar journey :)
My dermatologist did say to me as a first thing that I should start eating different. No dairy, no meat if possible and no wheat. And recommended me an study and people who are interested in it. Its practically raw vegan diet. And when my psychiatr told me the same for my problems with tiredness all the time I started to take it seriously. 3 months in and I am feeling so much different it's wonderful.
Thanks Cassandra, I love you, you are like the big sister or mum I never had.
Your videos are always so helpful and educational !
Sending to you many love from Czech republick :)
Thank you for acknowledging the emotional aspect to chronic acne! It is rarely ever mentioned by anyone. I'm going through it now and I've been trying to get off antibiotics and I think going raw vegan is the way to go. I would greatly appreciate a recipe video!
I've been saying this for years! Diet is huge! I didn't go vegan; I did Whole30 a few years ago and in a single month my skin cleared up because I stopped eating processed food, mainly things like bread, sugar and dairy. I still ate meat, it doesn't disagree with me the way it may affect others, but I don't discourage veganism...maybe make a video explaining how to eat a well balanced vegan diet and what you eat in a day? I appreciate you so much, keep shining your light Cassandra :)
You have such a great personality! I’m really happy that you’ve improved your health and took the time to share it with us! You matter to the world and God created you on purpose. People need what you have.
I’m going raw Vegan next week. A journey to cure cold sores, candida, and acne. I need good recipes so I don’t give up so please post them!
I’ll post my results in about 6-7 months!
Hi,
How did it go?
@@khushmitadhabhai2944 Honestly I caved on the raw vegan diet, yet I'm still a pescatarian and I've made tons of progress! After cutting out most dairy, I haven't gotten any more yeast infections! Like...NONE!
I've learned more about my personal acne journey, and cutting out dairy has helped dramatically. What also helps my face is having a routine. I wash twice a day with a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash, I exfoliate 1-2 times a week, at night I use a retinol cream instead of daily moisturizer, and in the morning (after I wash) I rub a frozen cucumber on my face and feel totally refreshed. A little $3 face mask twice a week helps too!
The cold sore journey is still underway, and I definitely need to do more research. Stress, a low immune system, and excess amounts of sugar are my triggers, but taking lysine powder as soon as I feel a "tingle" keeps it from popping up. The only downside of lysine, is that too much can throw off the menstrual cycle. It works, but praying to God for a permanent cure.
I can not tell you enough how much I have been appreciating these videos and your honesty!! So so sooo freaking grateful! Thank you Cassandra! Can not express my appreciation enough
ok but I'm a whole food vegan (cooked and raw ), maybe once in 3 months I eat junk food ( vegan ofc ), I have a skincare routine I stick to, I exercise, drink a lot of water, sleep etc but I still have breakouts. Not all the time but reaccuring and all over my face. been struggling since 13 years old and im now 17...
Same. Ended up going on accurane after trying EVERYTHING.
get your hormones tested and food sensitivity/intolerances tested
You probably still eat too much (healthy) fatty food. Try minimizing it to 15% of your calories. Look up the whole food plant based acne diet 😄
@@AnouckAimee1 I cut out ALL fats and oils for months. Didn't eat nuts, avocados, ANYTHING that was fatty. Saw no difference. And on another note, I didn't feel well either, until I incorporated a little bit more fat.
we need much more fat than we have been told and some of the best sources are organic butter, ghee, raw cream, and high quality animal fat organic grass fed beef, lamb from sustainable farming-excellent to reduce all types of inflammation in the body, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, as long as your diet is mostly whole foods and includes raw whole foods and no processed cooking oils.
I really love the scientific approach you take to acne. This is the best skincare channel !
You're the only youtuber I can watch for 40 minutes, seriously :P love you ❤ hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
I didn't expect I would sit through this video, but I did, never tapping to see how many minutes were left. This talk is necessary! Thank you so much!!!!
I cured my acne with the vegan starch solution :-) I find that if I eat too much fat even health fats my skin breaks out! Also don't eat soy or gluten. Cassandra you should try cutting out coffee though caffeine affects cortisol which affects your skin
Healthy fats are really good for you 🙁make sure you at least get some for your health overall as your body really benefits from it
This is the most amazing video I have ever watched in my life. You are so inspiring that no words can describe it. You answered questions that I didn't even know I had. You are such an inspiration to me. Its amazing to see people actually doing good without money being involved. It scares me to think how I would be living if I hadn't watched this (and all your other part-videos) video.
This might be a long comment but I really hope you get to read it! I am 19 and have had acne since I was about 11/12 years old. It has been horrible, okay, good, bad, painful, not so bad, etc. And I really relate to a lot of the things you've gone through. I had an emotionally abusive relationship my freshmen year in high school, my self worth was pulled through the mud along with my dignity and any friendships I had because they were all so scared of him. He made a mess of me in a million different ways and by the end of it all I had depression, would only drink water some days without having any food, would sleep, go to school, come home and sleep again. It was my breaking point and my acne was always there with me of course. I ended up moving away because of this and got better within a couple of months but the acne never went away and I am know in university studying nutrition in my second year but still... acne. Since I was around 16 years old I started trying more natural and less harmful approaches since my dad always said to not use so many chemicals on my skin. He always told me to eat healthier, exercise, etc. which is what got my into nutrition and healthy living. I LOVEE watching your videos (I started yesterday lol) because I really understand the science that you talk about because of the classes I am taking currently. It's like reviewing what I am learning while learning some more and I LOVEE IT!! Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience and I am definitely following all your posts from now on! I am currently binge watching your current videos and can'y get enough!!
Thank you so much!❤
I love your acne science type videos. Legitimately, knowledge is power! I would also love it if you did a “What I eat in a day”, type video. Or recipe video as you put it. I’ve tried to go vegan a couple of times now and the hardest part for me is finding recipes that excite me. 😊
Can you please do menu ideas, what I eat in a day (many days!), recipes... I never know what to cook and eat, other than what I'm used to, which includes a lot of meat, and I would like to reduce that! Thanks!!
I am 47, but I totally want to be like you when I grow up! Starting now to learn and teach my 3 teens/young adults to do and be better! Thank YOU! So much fun!
Thank you, Cassandra, for sharing your precious knowledge with all of us. I watched some of your make-up video hits several years back when I was so ashamed of having severe acne going on my entire face. My self-esteem was low and was seeking an approach to cover them all up. About 2 years ago, there was a downtime of mine when I felt stressed out at work and needed a cup of latte to go right before I work every single day. This way, I could feel more energized and the caffeine did make me happier working. However, my acne-prone skin just got even worse at that moment and cystic pimples grew all over. That's when I found dairy was possibly the villain (despite the fact that, like you said, dermatologists apparently did not assert) and decided to reduce dairy consumption. Gradually, due to the ethic perspective, I also decided to turn myself into a primarily plant-based diet in which I, currently, only eat seafood for nutritional reason occasionally. I've even been cleansing my face, body and even hair with only water, and applying nothing to my face after wash now for over 2 months. All these efforts literally save my life emotionally as well as economically, since I no longer need to spend on testing cosmetics that would potentially cure my bad skin. Even if I still get one or two zips here and there on my face from day to day, my skin is absolutely in a better condition compared with just a year ago. You're amazing, kind and gorgeous the way you not only help animals but people with acne issues. Having a nice skin is truly a blessing to you, don't you agree?
Btw, I saw the episode you're on the doctor show today and searched your video updates. Glad I did that!
Happy to hear of your success story. Make your own YT vids about it?
You seriously should write a book on all this stuff!!
You are such a strong woman! I love the quote you said “I would rather die honest than rich.” Well said!
I love how well educated you are and how you plan before you make these videos and try things out.this makes the videos more understandable and trustworthy. Thank you ❤️
You're an angel, Cassandra! I am not done yet with clearing my skin but your videos always make me realize that there's another piece of the puzzle I need to look into. I am now considering going raw vegan!
I'm a pharmacist and I WISH YOU WERE MY TEACHER 😃 and again thanks for this it's really helpful 😍
Cassandra I am SO happy for you! I've watched you on and off since you're first videos and to see where you are today is a blessing! I'm a licensed esthetician and I got into the field from my own struggle with acne (since 13) and my youngest son developing eczema. When he had red irritated rashes all over his body I felt it was his formula and it started me on a long journey of researching diet and diseases. It's funny because I've done SO much research on proper health and skin and yet I still struggled with letting go of a western diet. Well I had to make up in my mind a few days back do I REALLY desire clear skin (because even though my skin is a lot better, even at 35, I STILL deal with mild to moderate acne). Seeing your video and knowing what you've been through was definitely the encouragement for me to change my unhealthy habits! Thank you! How long did it take you to get to where you are now from where you started to really change things?
I've been looking forward to these videos sooo much!
Hey Cassandra, I love this series so much! I saw Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap the other day while at Target and contemplated purchasing it, as I also deal with adult cystic acne as well. Some of the ingredients in the soap scared me, such as coconut oil and other forms of oil that appear to be comedogenic. I only trust extra virgin olive oil or jojoba oil near my face, but coconut oil is a BIG no go for me. I also remember you saying coconut oil can clog pores and make acne worse. I've read several reviews and articles on it as well before I purchased it, and many people report to their skin getting worse and breaking out (with picture proof). So I opted out of purchasing it.
Sabrina I did the same thing 😣
Sabrina coconut oil is a weird thing, some people break out when they use it but for others it's totally fine. For me using it as a cleanser is ok. But I wouldn't use it as a moisturizer and leave it on my face...
i just tried a foundation with coconut oil derivatives (the ordinary) and it broke me out so bad! i have spots all over my face like a rash. Stay away if you know it does not work for you!
Yea coconut oil is a known comedogenic because of the large molecular structure of the molecules. I will never use it on my entire face. I would stick to Jojoba and Extra Virgin Olive oil
Sabrina jojoba oul and argan oil are great! The are not comedogen:)
I feel so much more hopeful now for achieving clear skin! Thank you for all of your knowledge and insight.
Just wondering if your parents and brother are vegan as well. If not a video on that would be very helpful. I think that can be the hardest part of making these changes for so many people. Perhaps if you are the parent even harder because like you said it is a personal choice you can't just make everyone do it too especially if you have young adults in your home. It would be so much easier with babies and toddlers but my older kids and husband would be like where's the meat/dairy. I totally agree with you about diet but also wonder how you deal with not "falling off the wagon" when you crave meat and dairy. I totally understand why people go vegan for ethical reasons because that keeps you in check but what about those who don't and are struggling with it. I hope what I'm asking makes sense. I'm so happy for you and excited for this series especially this part! 💕
Girl 🔥🔥🔥! It's so awesome to hear about acne success that is diet related - so many people are trying to push skin care products and medications and I know treating acne really starts from the inside out for most of us (it was for sure for me). Going raw vegan cleared up my skin too, I had really bad hormonal acne all over my chin - it was like an acne beard. At any time, I used to have 30+ pimples on my face, mostly around that chin area... When I went vegan it cleared up, now I might get one or two on my face, but it's rare and usually if i'm not eating well (fatty junky vegan foods). I'm so glad that diet shift was successful for you as it was for me, hopefully more people try it out because it really makes a difference!!
You are a beautiful soul and you deserve the greatest love, i can tell by your pure smile and eyes. We are given all these struggles to raise above them and make difference in this world. You are unique because of what you have been through and you are going to do AMAZING things.
This was my favorite video of yours so far. So informative, so intelligent, so emotional, so honest, so real and so true. I have been educating myself more and more on all the same things you are discussing, but I haven’t ever felt so confirmed in all my theories and research till finally hearing you now. All the antibiotic stuff makes complete sense, industries just banking off people continuing to buy their products even when they are actually bad for us and it all causing more and more damage worldwide to where so many of us have these same recurring issues of bloating, acne, fatigue, etc. It is evident that you have knowledge and integrity and you really care. Thank you and funny how you keep saying you accidentally stumbled upon something, well I had nausea and pain keeping me awake tonight and happened to stumble upon your video, so like u said, even bad things happen for a reason and bring you to where you are meant to be. Thanks you again for helping me with my life journey and I hope you continue to thrive and help people on your amazing life journey. :)
I wasn't gonna watch the whole video but ended up finishing it.🤣
This is the most helpful acne video I have ever seen. Total truth. Wow, I wish you had some more views! I have recently changed my diet too. I don't have really bad acne, just about 7-8 under my cheekbones on both sides of my face. But it's totally hormonal caused by foods. So I bought HUM Daily Cleanse and Omega supplements plus I now have cut out friend food, processed food, and non-organic dairy and meat. I try to eat clean and I still change my sheets and sleeping clothes every week or so. I wash my face with GlamGlow's white-bottled face wash and do masks. I think I have the hardest time drinking water, so it is awesome to know that watermelon and leafy greens is a great way to keep in h20!
I love how she's so freaking smart, and logical and she used to be a runway model. All this, while juggling with her own insecurities. She battled everything and she's so happy
I love how informed you are and how dedicated you have been to this process! You're awesome, keep doing you!!!
I have to say again. I watched your video again and it is probably one of the more informative videos that I have seen about skin. I told my wife about it. Thank you!!
I love how Cassandra is so real and authentic on youtube, I'm really inspired to be vegan again the healthy way now, and see how my skin reacts! Keep posting informational videos and recipes!
God! This lady is soooo right,and she lays her life out in front of us all, she has gone through it ALL and now gives her wisdom to us.... PLEASE HEED.
I’ll forever be grateful to u , cause i finally cured it following your tips , thank you soo much . Your follower from Morocco ❤️
I’ve been waiting for these videos forever! I’m studying beauty therapy and it’s so frustrating not being able to have my own skin under control. As a regular blood donor I went to donate in august but was turned away because my hr was hitting 120. Obviously this high hr had been making my anxiety worse, restless nights. Twice I’ve been told my iron is very low however I’ve always had trouble with my hormones. I overheared the vegan in my class taking about celiacs getting spots on the back of their arms from the gluten being rejected.. something I’ve dealt and picked at since a child. As the gluten is seen as a toxin the body tries to eliminate it through the skin, leading to acne. This alarmed me, I’ve completely cut gluten out of my diet and my skins getting much better and am no longer that bloated but still I feel there is more underlying issues. I’ve been on doxycycline since I was 16, maybe younger.. I’m 20 now and since being treated for my heart rate it’s been revealed that my thyroid is high, this runs in my family and I’ve been booked in for a few weeks now to see a specialist, hopefully I will finally be able to be as happy as you look
I want to cut out dairy but this is going to be hard as I’m a barista that loves skinny lattes. I already have my dads oily european skin okay :,)
I gave up dairy (cow dairy anyway), sugar, and grain in October. Since then, I've seen a decrease in dandruff, acne, and itchy skin. I also find I smell better between showers -- especially my feet. My hair stays cleaner between washes, too, and my teeth feel cleaner. Things are so much better that I don't even really miss macaroni and cheese.
As someone who has dealt with severe acne my whole life, i agree 100% with you about the impact that food has. But i was always unsure because doctors told me different 😡
Awesome. Someone who understands, went through the process and knows the science. Learning a lot. Thank you. You're an inspiration.
YOUR STORY SOUNDS JUST LIKE MINE. thank you for sharing and for helping spread the knowledge you gathered over the years :) i recently went through a depression and stressful time and all my acne came back. i think when i find my balanced life and work through my depression my life will clear up my acne completely. till then i'm just trying to stay strong and not wear makeup to make it worse.. which is a struggle but i'm seeing its worth it. i have a new job today and i came on here to get the strength to go makeup free and i'm definitely getting incentive from this and also learning some more new things. thank you so much for being so brave ALWAYS
Also, how do you digest the beans? Do you soak them and then boil them? Do you soak the nuts? I find digesting protein rich foods quite difficult. Do you not eat any kind of grains or only the cooked ones? What about sprouted buckwheat or soaked oats..?
Oh girl, what your stomach previously looked like is what my stomach looks like every day :( I have the EXACT same issues right now! I've been diagnosed with IBS, SIBO, among other things, and 11 doctors later, still no one has been able to help. :( I'm willing to try anything at this point! Your story is SO close to mine!

Have you done anything to get rid of the SIBO? Bacteria can cause acne, and digestive issues can cause acne in the forehead area. I had SIBO as well and my acne is cleared. Gut health is extremely important. When you heal your gut, you can heal many symptoms. Go to siboinfo.com if you want more info!
I would love to see a video talking about why some people get acne but others don't. I know someone who eats dairy, never washes her makeup brushes, eats meat, doesn't care about skincare or toxic ingredients, wears whatever make up, uses tons of fragrance. Basically everything you say not to do she does. How come people like her don't get acne but others do?
I only eat meat and eggs, all my acne and other skin problems vanished. I assume that due to our differences in our genetic makeup we will react to foods very differently. Its a personal journey for all of us to find out what works, hope you find yours. 🙂
This was so inspiring on so many levels... Not only on ways to clear up skin but also a lesson on chemistry, self love and an animal cruelty-free diet... All of which plays a vital role in what makes you such a knowledgeable and humble human being. Beautiful soul! ♥
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us to become educated. I’m actually so thankful. These videos helped me understand so much.
Thank you so much Cassandra for these free, informative videos! And for not selling out! I was going to buy a book someone wrote on how they cleared their acne in natural ways similar to this, but then I found this series! You are also an amazing, kind, and intelligent individual! You have come so far from the low points in your life you have shared with us in this video. I hope you are proud of yourself!
I also have a question: Did changing your diet make your skin less oily? I forget if you have oily skin, but at least from what you have learned, would it?
Well you’ve sold me on going vegan! I have been contemplating this for quite some time! But I have no idea what to eat for protein or how much, or how to make tofu, or what salad dressings to use. You should make a video of your nutrition, what you eat in a day, your fav snacks, what you eat when you indulge, things like that. Make a video that goes further in depth to this video.
Hey love this is a great idea!! I love almond milk yogurts, spinach, beans, lentils, tofu and more! Hope this helps!
You are a fresh example, of a person who teaches others by just explaining her own successes.. You are beautiful and I’m trying to take some of your advertisements to help me with my drama in my life which is the acne as well.. Not as bad as your acne illness (should i call it) but it’s bad enough!!
So thank you for the words that I’m really taking in deeply and trying as you said to educate myself!
This is very important you talking about your relationships and mental states and traumas and desorders correlated with acne - I had a lot similar going on
Im on SCD diet and my skin cleared within 5 days. Already on my period and no hormonal breakout present. After month of scd no pms, no cramps, better immune system, no acne, no hairloss. Food does influence our hormonal system...I should have heard this sentense 10 yrs ago from my gp! Now getting slowly on the right track hoping for slow healing step by step
Im not a vegan but i found the information very useful in monitoring my daily diet to avoid pimples and random acnes in general！love how confident and knowledgable you are while sharing the information！❤❤❤❤❤
I just stumbled across your channel and I am so happy I did. As someone who struggles with acne, and as a vegan... I feel like I found a treasure chest. Thank you.
Vegan, gluten free, with meat here and there and a balanced meal has helped my acne. I would eat one type of food in excessive and unbalancing my gut, contributing to my acne. Korean bbq buffets were one of the culprits. Gluten was the #1 culprit. Only washing my face once, juicing celery juice, and good probiotics also helps.
You are so good person! I’m Russian living in Spain. And I’m looking your videos for a long time. Happy for you. I Live without meet and milk for 3 years. Totally agree with you!
Awesome that you have found something that helps in the community of UA-cam. I also share my experience, and I hope that helps !
It is not about only getting rid of your acne but also about getting a real good lifestyle. Thank you for your videos❤❤
Salam Cassandra You are one of the bravest people i have seen/listened too. You are amazing and making a difference in many people lives. You helped me more than dermotologists and physicians. May Allah bless you with all happiness and you keep shining. Ameen
My goodness!! I freakin' love how you take all this time to educate us!! Seriously, I'm really considering cutting out meat along with any dairy products! How you correlated the animals' emotions when they know they're about to die really hit home. I never thought of it that way! Thank you so much for sharing all your secrets and knowledge with us!
Can you talk about any probiotics or vitamins that you take that you think also helped with your skin/overall health?
Cassandra, I LOVE your energy!!! You give me hope, so excited for the day I get to say I no longer have acne as well (which will be soon)! :)
I'm currently on Day 3 of a raw vegan diet and to be honest my intention is to experiment on how it affects my skin so not sure on how long I'll do this for. But results so far is reduced active acne, more energy throughout the day and more alertness. I will say it makes my body feel cold because of all the raw foods so my question is how do you keep your body warm through the colder months on this diet?
Love all the videos so far can't wait for more xx
Thank you so much Cassandra! I can now truly attest that dairy products, meat from animals that were exposed to antibiotics and even fruits and vegetables sprayed with pesticides and lastly, stress really affects acne. I can truly relate to everything you have said. I am now gradually taking steps that you did and yes! It truly makes a difference! But I am not yet a true RAW VEGAN. I hope that I will become one someday.
You know, people around me thinks that what I say about dairy products, foods with refined sugar causes acne, thinks that those things are not true and it is just on my mind.Maybe to them, such diet didn't cause them acne, but for me it does. Everyone of us are different and have different skin. Right after watching your video, I felt comforted because I know that there are also people who also believed on things that I believed in. Thank you for being honest to us. Unlike other people, you don' t let yourself be used by companies to endorse/promote there products even though they do not really help acne just for the sake of earning money. Thank you so so much! I really appreciate it and I know that there are many others too who believed in you. Just keep the positivity and know that there are people who appreciate you.
So much positive energy ! And finally a real expert, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Awesome, what you achieved, you can be so proud of yourself!!!
I cost thousands for buying different products. Facial Wash,toner,moisturizer,clarifying lotion, pills, make ups, and tons of creams!! my salary all went to these products and none of them helped me. My acne hurts me more emotionally coz these gave me this kind of insecurity in me. I don't have any bad hobbies like sleeping late or eating junk foods. I'm spending an hour every day to search about how to treat and prevent acne and this video is the most reliable. I can say because I tried a lot of products and still got acne. Thanks for this knowledgeable vid!! I'm going to change my diet and put off all those products i've been using.
I really love that you have morals ! I randomly watched your first video while i was searching for acne products bcz my skill started braking out !!! To be honest noone of the doctors told me about diet and dairy well maybe only one that she told me quit eating cheese! I didnt listen to her! Well my acne gone but it comes and goes from time to time! Since last week i noticed a big break out especially on my jaw ! Well last few weeks my diet was based on fat and sweets etc plus i started seeing a toxic old relationship !!! I really believe that acne is related to how we feel inside and food we eat !!! I totally agree with you!!! So, when i first watched your video it was obvious how bad you were feeling trying to cover your acne with tones of make up! The result was amazing but you were about to burst into tears during video!! In these videos its more than obvious that you look very balanced your eyes smile!!! Greetings from Greece Kassandra Mediterranean diet helps a lot with acne !!! Good day
I am so pleased for you. Your skin is so clear now due to the diet changes. Thank you for this informative video.
Love this video you bring out so many facts that I haven't even heard about even though I have read countless articles and watched many videos on acne .
baby how you dealing with the scars? I feel very bad about it...😩 and thanks you for share you tips ❤
Miss caatt vitamin e oil helps with scars
Ms Kate Thank you 😊
Look into a dermaroller
If you do not watch her already checkout holistichabits channel. Sarah talks a lot about scaring and fixing it.
You inspire me and give me hope when my acne brings me down emotionally and mentally. Thank you ❤️
Hey Esmeralda, i totally know how you feel here. I've been there and remember, you are beautiful and you will get clear skin. It started off with a positive mindset towards yourself. I share how I cleared my acne on my channel and i truly hope this helps you! :)
I cut simple carbs, caffeine, refined sugars, and dairy out of my diet years ago and my acne disappeared in a matter of weeks. The diet aspect of acne prevention was not discussed enough in the medical community ten years ago. It was something I had to learn about in forums and by trial and error. If anyone suffering from acne is curious about diet affecting acne, and has watched these videos, or Daniel Kern’s acne org videos, just know we were there at one point and found relief. So don’t lose hope. Give it a shot!
Can you explain more in detail what "BPA" is, and how to make a switch between the water that we usually drink and the water that doesn't contain "BPA"? I would love to know more about this topic. I love your informative videos BTW!
Please make some recipe videos in the future! That would be wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the INFORMATION you have gathered. Thank you!
seriously one of the best videos on youtube! so profound on many levels. thank you sooooo much!
Congratulations on your clear skin!! You are an inspiration.
I was really looking forward to this one. Great video! Btw... I know you were looking for a great chemical free sunscreen. I really recommend the kiss my face brand face sunscreen (the non sport one)
Milk/Dairy has Morphine-Like compounds... Whhaaat ? That sounds so crazzzy girl.... but then again, NOTHING surprises me these days!
Hey... I love your energy and excitement that shines through in every video you do and is the sheer proof of someone who has also discovered happiness from really LIVING RIGHT! I too have been struggling with cystic acne all my life and I want to thank you so very much for your honest and candid generosity in sharing your life and such valuable information with everyone! I for one... am a better person because of people like you and I will continue to listen to you, watch your videos and look up to you in my struggle to be the best I can be. You are a great inspiration and have become one of my top idols! Thank You Cassandra!🌷💘
This makes me sooooo freaking happy. You’re skin is beautiful ! 😍✨
You are genuinely so amazing, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge. You have seriously helped soooo many people, very grateful to have stumbled upon your channel
that was problem with antibiotics and processed food not meat :). I fully cleared out my skin only on the high fat animal based diet
I knew cortisol wreaked havoc on hormonal acne, but never heard of eating first thing after waking. Thank you for making this video, keep up the great educational content! 🙏🏼 Your story is truly inspiring...
