It’s always good to seek help for something unhealthy, even if you’re unsure. For myself, at times, I rely on a “fake it” attitude, or I will really beat myself down and hate everything about myself (a symptom of one of my conditions, unfortunately), and working on self care, which is very difficult for me to do, can make me feel slightly better afterwards. But, it’s only to try and work around my feelings and thoughts, and definitely not a cure or applying to everyone. I have a severe progressive disability that causes me to depersonalize, along with many severe deformities, one of them is with my reproductive organs, which causes my body dysmorphia and that intense sadness and self hate that I can feel.
Great dupe for Laneige is Revolution berry lip sleeping mask. It would be great if you compare them side to side, cuz I feel that Revolution is actually better and does not leaves your lips in a peeling cycle. I'd really appretiate your professional opinion tho. Love you!

One thing is that Camila has always been so honest and transparent with her self image issues. She’s such a great role model for kids out there. She’s one of the few pop stars who seem like a human to me and not a celeb.
I find it so sad that people look up to famous people to be role model for kids. WTF are parents doing? Why can’t they be effective role models? People bash the Kardashians because they give a "bad example" to children. They are just living their life. Their job ain’t to be a role model for any child.

The Laneige lip mask is also exfoliating, not only moisturizing. So some peeling is normal, for me its the only product that helped my lips. Lip balms do nothing for me, even slathered in a thick layer and I swear by this lip mask. But in my case, in the morning the dried skin, that's on top of the lips just comes off, no bruises, irritation or anything. After that the lips stay perfect the whole day
Oh wow, I really thought it was scammy, as it behaves exactly like my good quality (but cheap!) balms. I bought mine for $5, which still seemed a bit high (I have great luck finding amazing indie balms $3&under). Wonder if I should stop exfoliating right before I use it, with a scrubby lippy.. thx for posting in detail, it helps others figure products out!

Hi Cassandra❣️ I love you and totally agree with you, (as someone who suffered from cystic acne growing up all the way until my 20's,) They do tend to blame the sufferer of acne, when often times like you did..I washed and did everything I could to help..I remember people scolding me about eating a chocolate bar!!

9:30 I'm not sure I necessarily agree with this statement. From my experience, moisturizer kind of sets the stage for everything else. I hear people often say, "great skincare starts with a good cleanser" but I'd argue that great skincare starts with a healthy moisture barrier.... And I see WAY TOO MANY comments and reviews from people who complain products don't work for them or were too irritating, or that their skin is "bad" etc. etc, and then reveal they don't moisturize. Like ever. To me, it's a no-brainer.... We need a healthy base to work with. And maybe it's just that I've experienced it, firsthand, so I know how important it is. I've acne-prone, combination-dry, reactive, somewhat sensitive skin that sometimes gets dehydrated and also really oily in my t-zone. When I first decided to start a healthy skincare routine I was fortunate enough to choose a very, very nice, dermatologist-made moisturizer.... And even with a very basic 3-step cleansing routine, before even using serums and treatments, I saw VAST improvements in my skin. Growing up I was oily and never dry, so I got into the habit of believing my skin was 'moisturized' enough and it wasn't necessary for me to moisturize regularly... And even in my adult life, since acne was my main concern, I thought a good cleanser was all I needed and would often skip the moisturizer. But that philosophy never passed the test of time, nor reality. Instead, it caused a lot of damage to my skin. Even though I don't have sun damage, melsma, wrinkles, irritated, or flaky skin, my skin was in rough shape. It was dull, fragile, thin, depleted, dehydrated, and textured. ....... Until I started moisturizing regularly. Again, before I was even using treatments, exfoliants, and serums on my face, I was already obtaining a healthy, supple, glowing complexion. Then, because my skin was so moisturized and healthy, by the time I felt ready to start using actives, direct acids, and especially retinol, I was in good shape and ready to go. Now, I use Salicylic Acid daily, AHAs (like TO's Glycolic Acid) regularly, gentle enzyme exfoliants, clay masks, and have used basically everything you can think of (Mandelic Acid, Lactic Acid, fruit peels, Vitamin C, etc.) at some point, and, now, even Retinol without having EVER experienced irritation, dryness, flaky skin, et al. Even cleansers that were once 'too harsh' or seemed to bother my skin don't bug me at all anymore. Granted, I am a FIRM supporter and do-er of patch tests (24-48 hr patch tests in more than one spot -- usually inner elbow, neck, and/or forehead) and ALWAYS pllay by a 'low and slow' guideline.... But I know my moisture barrier played a huge role when I've used products that have almost bad reputations for being too harsh without any issue. And I have sensitive, dry skin. That said, I always advise that people listen to their skin. It was my biggest lesson learned so far in this journey. Days where my skin just feels a bit "off", I'll skip the treatments or "purifying" masks.... And whenever I feel my skin is thirsty, I quench it. I skip the BHAs/AHAs, or I just spot treat. If it's feeling oily, I adjust the products in my routine. Opt for different, usually water-based treatments. But I never, ever, ever skip out on my moisturizer. That, I will not sacrifice. So, while some people might FEEL their skin is moisturized enough without moisturizer, I wholeheartedly believe, and advise, **especially** for those planning to use or currently using direct acids or dryness-inducing actives or ingredients, that they focus on strengthening their moisture barrier **first and foremost**... Or assuring it's healthy before getting too crazy. If your moisturizer causes oiliness or dryness or just doesn't appease you, find a new one. There are so many products on the market for all different skintypes that there shouldn't really be a good reason NOT to moisturize. PS. Moisturizing and hydrating are two different things. Hyaluronic Acid is good for hydration and preventing epidermic water loss, but it's not exactly moisturizing. For illustrative purposes: when I first started incorporating Salycylic Acid into my regular routine, I suffered tightness in my temples, upper cheeks, and jawline, even though I was moisturized to the high heavens and my skin was smooth to the touch and visibly suppple. That's when I decided I needed a Hyaluronic Acid to help hydrate my skin as it was thirsty and dehydrated. It worked miracles, and has become THE staple in my regimen..... But, again, I still never skip the moisturizer. They go hand-in-hand but are not interchangeable... In my opinion. Not to mention, the Hyaluronic Acid needs something occlusive (or at least emollient) to keep the hydration in. (Guess what else? Moisturizer helps combat the 'stickiness' so many complain about when using serums.. Especially HAs.) I wish everyone the best of luck finding a good moisturizer based on their skintype and preferences. I know of a few if you need recs. Happy Moisturizing! ❤
amen to this finding the best moisturizer for yourself is the best thing you can do besides protecting yourself from the sun ps i am dry and acne prone
Every skin is different. I agree with Cassandra on this one, especially for some people with acne/oily/sensitive skin, who can't handle any type of moisturizer(me included); and no we can't just do a trial and error, not only can it potentially cause more damage on our skin, but it is too expensive. Serums can be enough, even oils for some. Some honestly, don't need any type of moisturizer as long as they have a relatively healthy skin barrier. Doing more can harm the skin more if you don't need it. Like Cassandra said, it's not really what others are telling you to do, but how your skin feels. If you feel like your skin is already moisturised enough w/o the moisturizer, then go with that. Tldr: Do what's working for your skin personally. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
8:05 I too have left long comments praising you and thanking you for everything you do but then felt like a simp for rambling on and deleted it. 😂 But to summarize I appreciate you and what you do, and the fact that you get emotional talking about people (including on the darker spectrum) protecting their skin. 🤗
Cassandra's strong sunscreen advocacy is the main reason I've become a big fan. I do disagree with her on fragrance and alcohol in makeup and skincare as I believe these to be harmful.
@cassandra - she does have darker under eyes, I think the Vogue video cam washes it out. Also, I share her experience with moisture and blackheads - regulating it with some perfectly matching moisturiser helps prevent that, not directly but indirectly.
I love your channel because it debunks so many myths that we were literally taught as science when I was trained in the beauty industry…it bugs me how I repeated false information to clients because I trusted our training 😬
so i’ve been using the laneige lip sleeping mask for a couple years now and it actually works for me. it genuinely helps hydrating my lips and i feel i could use it throughout the day. i’ve never experienced the peeling or irritation or anything. osea is a brand i’ve been wanting to look into and i feel i need to for sure now
I agree about the Laneige sleeping mask. I used the full thing and it never did anything groundbreaking to my lips, it made them look nice though. I have a Frudia lip balm that is so much cheaper. Just don't understand the hype.
i have used that loreal serum for 3 years and coconut oil for 6 years and it has keep me for having texture on my skin i haven't got any pimples since then
Graceful Beauty here on YT hypes Osmosis and says there is a product that can actually firm saggy eyelids. May be worth looking at with your wonderful set of skills and education!
they labeled the video guide acne prone cause she mentions acne but it not like her entire skin care products is made of anti acne products. thats just her skin care routine.
So yesterday I went to this bar in my area and a random girl was being loud on how she's an esthetician and said that if you don't wear eye cream or don't wear sunscreen don't talk to her. Also making fun of other people's makeup and judging people's acne. Literally unprofessional, I was going to step up and say something because I had acne myself but I didn't want to be rowdy and get kicked out from the bar lol.
Yikes, sounds like she slipped into the dunning kruger effect thinking she knows a lot after finishing school when in reality it's just the very basics and you have a looong way to go to be actually good and knowledgable as an esthetician.
@@morgianasartre6709 yupp, it's the way that she said it too in person, she said " I bet my makeup and lashes are so much better than all these other drag queen bitches". Like I get it were at a bar and drinking but that just really shows how she really feels about "helping people". Instead of dissing why not educate the people on wearing sunscreen etc.
@@omarnunez53 Honestly if that is how she truly feels then she won't be in that business for long, either because she will leave herself or just not have any clients because people pick up on this. Either way I find her attitude very peculiar.
Dear Cassandra, would you consider making a video about what to use in stead of Estee Lauder advanced night repair? I have been using it for a while because it works like no other serum on my face, and it has a lovely consistency. The only problem I have with it is how fast it vanishes when you use it both day and night and it's quite pricey for a 50 ml bottle. The qualities that make this serum is that it works wonderfully on my tricky combined skin (which is acne prone too...) as it doesn't clog my pores, and it actually "lifts" and moisturises the skin so that I don't need to smear my face with creams and tons of other potions. I live in northern Europe and many great brands are not available where I live, so brands/ products that use a certain degree of international popularity would be highly appreciated. Or any tips about which products to look for in terms of ingredients for combined acne prone skin, some lifting and moisturising (preferably in one product, but any tips are welcome!)💚🙏
Hey Chica Bonita!!! 😀 Love your Channel… As someone who discovered skincare and makeup late in life I can’t get enough of your amazing informed content..👌🙌 I have hormonal acne ( I was lucky and never had any skin issues until I was pregnant with my son ) it started when I was pregnant and now whenever it’s getting close to, or just after my period I get at least one MONSTER zit and a few smaller however I’ve noticed since moving to Montana from Alaska whenever I’m getting more sun exposure ( with multiple levels of SPF 😉 ) my skin seems to be less acne prone?? I get less zits and have less skin issues in general..? Is there an actual scientific reason for this?? Or am I just crazy?? I have pretty oily skin… does the sun somehow counteract all the extra oil production?? LOL just curious.. Thanks Chica for all the Amazing Info!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Basically the sun slows down the skins healing process and so your break outs heal slower and you break out as well as a result. Wearing sunscreen protects you from the sun slowing down your skins healing process.
Being in the sun dries out your skin and slows down the oil production, as a result you get a temporary improvemnet in acne. UV therapy has been used as an acne treatment in the past as it kills the p. acnes bacteria but I'm pretty sure it's not the same as regular sun exposire so the effect might not be the same on this front. Plus the sun triggers our happy hormones and being happy and relaxed with reduced stress does improve acne as well.
THANK YOU!! 😀 Appreciate all the info!! And I always wear several layers of sunscreen and reapply regularly since I was born and raised in Alaska and I didn’t get a lot of sun exposure I always try to be super careful because there is so much more sun in Montana…
The Laneige lip mask is my saving lip mask. I've finished maaaany of it, but I'm trying to find cruelty free alternatives. I've ordered the Fourthbeauty ones, and I hope I like them!
CC cream is color correction cream. As far as I know, cc creams are more watery and less cakey than bb creams and foundations, so cc creams may be better than bb cream or foundations.
I can’t find any good cheap products by the brands you mention at my drugstore!! Could you talk about AMBI or other more obscure Walgreens brands? (It’s fine if not I understand)
LOL YAAAAS thank god I’m not the only one… apparently my target, Walgreens and CVS sucks because they never have the products she talks about… they don’t even come up when I search them on the apps… which I’m sure is because I have them all set to local locations but still… so sad….
She’s talking only about cruelty free skincare that’s why she doesn’t mention a lot of brands, checkout dr Dray if you want to listen about more affordable skincare :)
Dear Cassandra, you are a wonderful human being. You have taught me so much and literally changed the way I see the world and myself, as well as my acne, my scars and my traumas from rhe past. Thank you so much for inspiring us to be the best version of ourselves! Regarding lasers, and the great effects they have on acne and scars, makes me feel encouraged to keep trying and looking for ways to improve my "canvas" . Getting a laser treatment would be the same as using a portable light frequency "device" at home? I wonder. Take care of your beautiful soul and please keep on doing this amazing job. Abracitos 🌷
She literally said that she took laser sessions for it. Known her for years and she genuinely promotes things that works for her and is very honest about eveything. She isn't the one to sell things she doesn't have absolute knowledge about.
@@ST-vg3vs yess and camila isnt going to ever come out with a skin care line. camila doesnt do things for cash grabs, if u look at her insta its all activism stuff and she only really does ads for loreal and VS. She is very genuine and works very hard to be authentic.
I absolutely love and trust you and have a couple of questions. I have an almost 10 year old boy who loves doing nightly “skincare” with me at night but I only really let him use normal Clinique gentle facial soap and water because I don’t want to strip the oils but is there something better for him? Also what would be a good moisturizer for his age? He sees me going through all the steps and asks, what’s next for me mom?! And honestly, I don’t know. Can you or someone help me? What can he use? His birthday is coming soon and I’d love to get him a spa basket!
A gentle cleanser, a simple fragrance free moisturiser and a sunscreen is all kids that age would need (unless they have actual skin issues to adress of course).
@@morgianasartre6709 I was asking more for product recommendations for littles. Many times “Simple” does not always equate good for littles skin. Hence why I was asking for specifics from an expert. Maybe there are others interested in a video dedicated to products good for younger skin transitioning. It’s never too early to take care of yourself.
@@blaynej9416 Ever Eden has a whole line for kids and the colors are fun too. I’ve used their face wash (I’m an adult though lol) and I liked it -- it was pretty gentle. Pipette is a good brand too but definitely a little less fun. realistically, you don’t really need to buy something that’s “designed for kids” as any gentle face wash and moisturizer combo will do, but if you’re not sure where to start, you could check out those brands. NOLA Essentials also has some great cleansers (one is literally called “Baby Skin,” though I don’t think it’s specifically for kids.)
if you’re looking for example for a sunscreen, i love the ones from “naïf” and both the ones marketed towards adults and children have a very clean, short and good list of ingredients (though my bf prefers the childrens version, he has extremely sensitive skin but is also a sucker for packaging so idk what makes him love this one more) I’d stay clear of products with a lot of actives because it’ll just make his face sensitive, i believe. Also the green/ white cleanser from cerave doesn’t strip at all and would be fun to switch it up maybe?
In relation to the term “medical grade”there’s a saying that people in the military know; anything that says “military grade” means nothing and if anything it just means cheaply made and massively produced.
Inb4 she says what the obsessed over product is, my money is on the La Neige lip mask~ Edit: I was RIGHT, and ps I personally love the pillow balm lip treatment from too faced. Or even just cerave healing ointment, by the time I apply my lip it goes on beautifully
Something amazing that I do if I wanna use foundation, since I prefer a light coverage look. I mix my It spf foundation with my sunscreen, smear it all over my face go over it a beauty blender, use an spf translucent powder and it looks amazing
Yes, I'm shocked that a bougie, "clean," eco-conscious brand like Osea doesn't load every single one of their products with fragrance. I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea, and I'd feel comfortable using that Sea Vitamin Boost.
I would love to hear your thoughts overall on the brand Osmosis. It’s quite a popular one among many medical estheticians. Some also on UA-cam and they often feature the creator of the brand. I believe it’s specifically their retinol/retin-a products that they’re most well known for. Is it worth the hype and worth the price?
I would love to know too, because I spent thousands of dollars on this brand (took internals from them too), along with doing an elimination diet/blood type diet and basically starved myself for a few months. The acne cleared, so not sure what it was from 😅.
HI Cassandra ! I love your videos I have learned so much about skincare. Would you be able to do a video on the brand INN beauty? I think they are a new brand and they have a pimple paste spot treatment I would like to buy and I would like to see your thoughts before I decide to purchase
I think I developed coffee/caffeine sensitivity after drinking cups and cans of americanos everyday during my 10th grade. Now my heartbeat gets fast that I notice it so I refrain from drinking coffee as much as I can. I prefer coffee milk and tea but sometimes you need it for exam period. 😓 I once used an eye serum from Vichy all over my face it lasted a good month.
Ya know, I'm just really tired of celebrities who have tons of money and access to the best dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and skincare telling me how my skin can look just like theirs...if I follow their 30 step, $500 a month (or more) skincare routine. Just stop.
I totally don’t understand the laneige craze. It smells great and looks pretty, but my lips are extremely dry, and it doesn’t sink in AT ALL. It sits on top, and the moment I remove it, I’m back to prune lips. Feels terrible.

Growing up I was oily and never dry, so I got into the habit of believing my skin was 'moisturized' enough and it wasn't necessary for me to moisturize regularly... And even in my adult life, since acne was my main concern, I thought a good cleanser was all I needed and would often skip the moisturizer.
But that philosophy never passed the test of time, nor reality.
Instead, it caused a lot of damage to my skin. Even though I don't have sun damage, melsma, wrinkles, irritated, or flaky skin, my skin was in rough shape. It was dull, fragile, thin, depleted, dehydrated, and textured. ....... Until I started moisturizing regularly.
Again, before I was even using treatments, exfoliants, and serums on my face, I was already obtaining a healthy, supple, glowing complexion.
Then, because my skin was so moisturized and healthy, by the time I felt ready to start using actives, direct acids, and especially retinol, I was in good shape and ready to go.
Now, I use Salicylic Acid daily, AHAs (like TO's Glycolic Acid) regularly, gentle enzyme exfoliants, clay masks, and have used basically everything you can think of (Mandelic Acid, Lactic Acid, fruit peels, Vitamin C, etc.) at some point, and, now, even Retinol without having EVER experienced irritation, dryness, flaky skin, et al.
Even cleansers that were once 'too harsh' or seemed to bother my skin don't bug me at all anymore.
Granted, I am a FIRM supporter and do-er of patch tests (24-48 hr patch tests in more than one spot -- usually inner elbow, neck, and/or forehead) and ALWAYS pllay by a 'low and slow' guideline.... But I know my moisture barrier played a huge role when I've used products that have almost bad reputations for being too harsh without any issue.
And I have sensitive, dry skin.
That said, I always advise that people listen to their skin.
It was my biggest lesson learned so far in this journey. Days where my skin just feels a bit "off", I'll skip the treatments or "purifying" masks.... And whenever I feel my skin is thirsty, I quench it. I skip the BHAs/AHAs, or I just spot treat. If it's feeling oily, I adjust the products in my routine. Opt for different, usually water-based treatments.
But I never, ever, ever skip out on my moisturizer. That, I will not sacrifice.
So, while some people might FEEL their skin is moisturized enough without moisturizer, I wholeheartedly believe, and advise, **especially** for those planning to use or currently using direct acids or dryness-inducing actives or ingredients, that they focus on strengthening their moisture barrier **first and foremost**... Or assuring it's healthy before getting too crazy.
If your moisturizer causes oiliness or dryness or just doesn't appease you, find a new one.
There are so many products on the market for all different skintypes that there shouldn't really be a good reason NOT to moisturize.
PS. Moisturizing and hydrating are two different things.
Hyaluronic Acid is good for hydration and preventing epidermic water loss, but it's not exactly moisturizing.
For illustrative purposes: when I first started incorporating Salycylic Acid into my regular routine, I suffered tightness in my temples, upper cheeks, and jawline, even though I was moisturized to the high heavens and my skin was smooth to the touch and visibly suppple.
That's when I decided I needed a Hyaluronic Acid to help hydrate my skin as it was thirsty and dehydrated.
It worked miracles, and has become THE staple in my regimen..... But, again, I still never skip the moisturizer.
They go hand-in-hand but are not interchangeable... In my opinion. Not to mention, the Hyaluronic Acid needs something occlusive (or at least emollient) to keep the hydration in.
(Guess what else? Moisturizer helps combat the 'stickiness' so many complain about when using serums.. Especially HAs.)
I wish everyone the best of luck finding a good moisturizer based on their skintype and preferences.
I know of a few if you need recs.
Happy Moisturizing! ❤
Could you suggest some?
amen to this
finding the best moisturizer for yourself is the best thing you can do besides protecting yourself from the sun
ps i am dry and acne prone

Ahhhhh yes I couldn’t agree more with everything u mentioned ❤️ 🙏🏻
Every skin is different. I agree with Cassandra on this one, especially for some people with acne/oily/sensitive skin, who can't handle any type of moisturizer(me included); and no we can't just do a trial and error, not only can it potentially cause more damage on our skin, but it is too expensive.
Serums can be enough, even oils for some. Some honestly, don't need any type of moisturizer as long as they have a relatively healthy skin barrier. Doing more can harm the skin more if you don't need it.
Like Cassandra said, it's not really what others are telling you to do, but how your skin feels. If you feel like your skin is already moisturised enough w/o the moisturizer, then go with that.
Tldr: Do what's working for your skin personally. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
WE NEED THE TATCHA REVIEW CASSANDRAAAAA
8:05 I too have left long comments praising you and thanking you for everything you do but then felt like a simp for rambling on and deleted it. 😂 But to summarize I appreciate you and what you do, and the fact that you get emotional talking about people (including on the darker spectrum) protecting their skin. 🤗
Cassandra's strong sunscreen advocacy is the main reason I've become a big fan.
I do disagree with her on fragrance and alcohol in makeup and skincare as I believe these to be harmful.
Thank you for making my Saturday better ❤
@cassandra - she does have darker under eyes, I think the Vogue video cam washes it out.
Also, I share her experience with moisture and blackheads - regulating it with some perfectly matching moisturiser helps prevent that, not directly but indirectly.
Awesome video, never stop bringing us gold content ❤
Your eyebrow are everything I wish mine could be😍
CAMILA IS AMAZING and she stands for the planet 🌍 🌏 🌎
YES FINALLY IM SO HAPPY YOU REACTED!
The beautiful butterflies on nightshift would love a video on skincare for people who work at night, please. 💚
I LOVE your top! Very sparkly and pretty.
Camila is so cute. She's so naturally beautiful.
I love this series!
I was waiting for this video for so long
Cassandra I love the top you're wearing in this video!
I always enjoy your reaction videos and appreciate the fun, helpful commentary. Your energy is beautifully infectious!
I love your channel because it debunks so many myths that we were literally taught as science when I was trained in the beauty industry…it bugs me how I repeated false information to clients because I trusted our training 😬
I love Camilas energy she so sweet and cute and nice
Me and my kitty are watching you! I love Osmosis products a lot!
so i’ve been using the laneige lip sleeping mask for a couple years now and it actually works for me. it genuinely helps hydrating my lips and i feel i could use it throughout the day. i’ve never experienced the peeling or irritation or anything. osea is a brand i’ve been wanting to look into and i feel i need to for sure now
i love camila cabello ahhhhh
I agree about the Laneige sleeping mask. I used the full thing and it never did anything groundbreaking to my lips, it made them look nice though. I have a Frudia lip balm that is so much cheaper. Just don't understand the hype.
i have used that loreal serum for 3 years and coconut oil for 6 years and it has keep me for having texture on my skin i haven't got any pimples since then
Graceful Beauty here on YT hypes Osmosis and says there is a product that can actually firm saggy eyelids. May be worth looking at with your wonderful set of skills and education!
I have been using the Osea sea vitamin boost for a few months now and obsessed.
BRUH i love the reaction you always give on lamer😂😂 i was kinda a bit disappointed taht she didnt use it
they labeled the video guide acne prone cause she mentions acne but it not like her entire skin care products is made of anti acne products. thats just her skin care routine.
Please do Kaia Gerber next 😭❤️🦋
So yesterday I went to this bar in my area and a random girl was being loud on how she's an esthetician and said that if you don't wear eye cream or don't wear sunscreen don't talk to her. Also making fun of other people's makeup and judging people's acne. Literally unprofessional, I was going to step up and say something because I had acne myself but I didn't want to be rowdy and get kicked out from the bar lol.
Yikes, sounds like she slipped into the dunning kruger effect thinking she knows a lot after finishing school when in reality it's just the very basics and you have a looong way to go to be actually good and knowledgable as an esthetician.
@@morgianasartre6709 yupp, it's the way that she said it too in person, she said " I bet my makeup and lashes are so much better than all these other drag queen bitches". Like I get it were at a bar and drinking but that just really shows how she really feels about "helping people". Instead of dissing why not educate the people on wearing sunscreen etc.
@@omarnunez53 Honestly if that is how she truly feels then she won't be in that business for long, either because she will leave herself or just not have any clients because people pick up on this. Either way I find her attitude very peculiar.
@@joannecendana Unsub from who? The random girl they saw?
@@joannecendana I wasn't talking about Cassandra my bad I should have been more specific a random girl at my local bar.
Dear Cassandra, would you consider making a video about what to use in stead of Estee Lauder advanced night repair? I have been using it for a while because it works like no other serum on my face, and it has a lovely consistency. The only problem I have with it is how fast it vanishes when you use it both day and night and it's quite pricey for a 50 ml bottle. The qualities that make this serum is that it works wonderfully on my tricky combined skin (which is acne prone too...) as it doesn't clog my pores, and it actually "lifts" and moisturises the skin so that I don't need to smear my face with creams and tons of other potions. I live in northern Europe and many great brands are not available where I live, so brands/ products that use a certain degree of international popularity would be highly appreciated. Or any tips about which products to look for in terms of ingredients for combined acne prone skin, some lifting and moisturising (preferably in one product, but any tips are welcome!)💚🙏
Love your videos!!!!) Thank you for your work!
I love youuuuuuuuuu thank you for being so awesome
Love your videos ❤️
This video made my Sunday 🥰
My five year old calls sunscreen "sunscream" and I love it. 😁
I scream
You scream
We all scream for sunscream
Hey Chica Bonita!!! 😀 Love your Channel… As someone who discovered skincare and makeup late in life I can’t get enough of your amazing informed content..👌🙌 I have hormonal acne ( I was lucky and never had any skin issues until I was pregnant with my son ) it started when I was pregnant and now whenever it’s getting close to, or just after my period I get at least one MONSTER zit and a few smaller however I’ve noticed since moving to Montana from Alaska whenever I’m getting more sun exposure ( with multiple levels of SPF 😉 ) my skin seems to be less acne prone?? I get less zits and have less skin issues in general..? Is there an actual scientific reason for this?? Or am I just crazy?? I have pretty oily skin… does the sun somehow counteract all the extra oil production?? LOL just curious.. Thanks Chica for all the Amazing Info!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Basically the sun slows down the skins healing process and so your break outs heal slower and you break out as well as a result. Wearing sunscreen protects you from the sun slowing down your skins healing process.
Being in the sun dries out your skin and slows down the oil production, as a result you get a temporary improvemnet in acne. UV therapy has been used as an acne treatment in the past as it kills the p. acnes bacteria but I'm pretty sure it's not the same as regular sun exposire so the effect might not be the same on this front. Plus the sun triggers our happy hormones and being happy and relaxed with reduced stress does improve acne as well.
Maybe you’re Vitamin D deficient so just take supplements for that
THANK YOU!! 😀 Appreciate all the info!! And I always wear several layers of sunscreen and reapply regularly since I was born and raised in Alaska and I didn’t get a lot of sun exposure I always try to be super careful because there is so much more sun in Montana…
The Laneige lip mask is my saving lip mask. I've finished maaaany of it, but I'm trying to find cruelty free alternatives. I've ordered the Fourthbeauty ones, and I hope I like them!
I loved this!!! 💞 I need to try some out
I love Camila. Ty for this video :)
CC cream is color correction cream. As far as I know, cc creams are more watery and less cakey than bb creams and foundations, so cc creams may be better than bb cream or foundations.
I can’t find any good cheap products by the brands you mention at my drugstore!! Could you talk about AMBI or other more obscure Walgreens brands? (It’s fine if not I understand)
LOL YAAAAS thank god I’m not the only one… apparently my target, Walgreens and CVS sucks because they never have the products she talks about… they don’t even come up when I search them on the apps… which I’m sure is because I have them all set to local locations but still… so sad….
She’s talking only about cruelty free skincare that’s why she doesn’t mention a lot of brands, checkout dr Dray if you want to listen about more affordable skincare :)
Hola, hola! Excited for this video. Would you make a review about Mexican brands? I can mail them to your P.O.Box. Greetings from Mexico!
She must try Physiology
@@elingrrr I didn't know that brand. It's kind of expensive. It is good?
@@astro.2029 está muy buena, es relativamente cara pero los resultados y la formulación son de lo mejor
@@elingrrr Muchas Gracias!
Normani clears Camilla !
Be careful with resveretrol. I’m acne prone-it made me break out horribly.
Lab Muffin did a great vid where she put the amount of foundation on that would get you to the spf on the bottle. It’s hilarious
Cassandra is the cuttest thing in the world
love camila
Dear Cassandra, you are a wonderful human being. You have taught me so much and literally changed the way I see the world and myself, as well as my acne, my scars and my traumas from rhe past. Thank you so much for inspiring us to be the best version of ourselves!
Regarding lasers, and the great effects they have on acne and scars, makes me feel encouraged to keep trying and looking for ways to improve my "canvas" . Getting a laser treatment would be the same as using a portable light frequency "device" at home? I wonder.
Take care of your beautiful soul and please keep on doing this amazing job.
Abracitos 🌷
LOL! No. At this point, a celebrity talking about acne or skincare is like a dog whistle for “ I might have a skincare line soon.”
@Victoria Nicole WTF!
She literally said that she took laser sessions for it. Known her for years and she genuinely promotes things that works for her and is very honest about eveything. She isn't the one to sell things she doesn't have absolute knowledge about.
@@ST-vg3vs yess and camila isnt going to ever come out with a skin care line. camila doesnt do things for cash grabs, if u look at her insta its all activism stuff and she only really does ads for loreal and VS. She is very genuine and works very hard to be authentic.
i mean...u never know 😅
I absolutely love and trust you and have a couple of questions. I have an almost 10 year old boy who loves doing nightly “skincare” with me at night but I only really let him use normal Clinique gentle facial soap and water because I don’t want to strip the oils but is there something better for him? Also what would be a good moisturizer for his age? He sees me going through all the steps and asks, what’s next for me mom?! And honestly, I don’t know. Can you or someone help me? What can he use? His birthday is coming soon and I’d love to get him a spa basket!
A gentle cleanser, a simple fragrance free moisturiser and a sunscreen is all kids that age would need (unless they have actual skin issues to adress of course).
@@morgianasartre6709 I was asking more for product recommendations for littles. Many times “Simple” does not always equate good for littles skin. Hence why I was asking for specifics from an expert. Maybe there are others interested in a video dedicated to products good for younger skin transitioning. It’s never too early to take care of yourself.
@@blaynej9416 Ever Eden has a whole line for kids and the colors are fun too. I’ve used their face wash (I’m an adult though lol) and I liked it -- it was pretty gentle. Pipette is a good brand too but definitely a little less fun. realistically, you don’t really need to buy something that’s “designed for kids” as any gentle face wash and moisturizer combo will do, but if you’re not sure where to start, you could check out those brands. NOLA Essentials also has some great cleansers (one is literally called “Baby Skin,” though I don’t think it’s specifically for kids.)
@@christtinaaxo thank you for the suggestions! That’s great info!
if you’re looking for example for a sunscreen, i love the ones from “naïf” and both the ones marketed towards adults and children have a very clean, short and good list of ingredients (though my bf prefers the childrens version, he has extremely sensitive skin but is also a sucker for packaging so idk what makes him love this one more)
I’d stay clear of products with a lot of actives because it’ll just make his face sensitive, i believe.
Also the green/ white cleanser from cerave doesn’t strip at all and would be fun to switch it up maybe?
The meows over the swearing lol
Wow, your top is AMAZING!! ^_^ Where did you buy it/what's the brand?!
In relation to the term “medical grade”there’s a saying that people in the military know; anything that says “military grade” means nothing and if anything it just means cheaply made and massively produced.
"La" not "lla" (ya) in Camila. Cabello is llo (yo) though.
Inb4 she says what the obsessed over product is, my money is on the La Neige lip mask~
Edit: I was RIGHT, and ps I personally love the pillow balm lip treatment from too faced. Or even just cerave healing ointment, by the time I apply my lip it goes on beautifully
Please do Billie Eilish skincare reaction video! Dying to know your thoughts!!!!
I've used the enzyme face wash and it did help when I had cystic acne
It's so weird to see L'Oréal 's Revitalift at $32,99. It literally cost $8,99 in Mexico. 8:41
Same, I was shock with price, in Chile that serum cost 11-13 dollars, honestly the only products I found in a lower price 😅
I think Walmart sells cheaper than buying on Amazon USA. Loreal serum is awesome! ❤️
Everything in Mexico is cheaper. I get both my birth control and plan b there for under $10.
@@camilanavarro4745 in Spain its 14€ :-D around 15$
She's a loreal brand rep
8:03 - the kitten 😊
Kumquat is also citrus. And it's high place in the ingredient list would concern me if grapefruit did.
Hey Cassandra. Could you please review the 3W clinic sunscreen. It is claimed to be the world cheapest sunscreen at 2 dollars. Korean product too.
Okay, informative as always! However, what are you wearing on your lips? They look beautiful!
Something amazing that I do if I wanna use foundation, since I prefer a light coverage look. I mix my It spf foundation with my sunscreen, smear it all over my face go over it a beauty blender, use an spf translucent powder and it looks amazing
Sadly that opens up the risks of interfering with the spf formulas and getting reduced protection :/
I'd love to hear more about citrus skin reaction
I love to layer!!!
Yes, I'm shocked that a bougie, "clean," eco-conscious brand like Osea doesn't load every single one of their products with fragrance. I have sensitive skin with mild rosacea, and I'd feel comfortable using that Sea Vitamin Boost.
Literally every Laneige product I've used (probaly 6+ at this point) have all dried tf out of my skin. Including the lip mask.
Cassandra could you do a Video about Opaplex?
I would love to hear your thoughts overall on the brand Osmosis. It’s quite a popular one among many medical estheticians. Some also on UA-cam and they often feature the creator of the brand. I believe it’s specifically their retinol/retin-a products that they’re most well known for. Is it worth the hype and worth the price?
I would love to know too, because I spent thousands of dollars on this brand (took internals from them too), along with doing an elimination diet/blood type diet and basically starved myself for a few months. The acne cleared, so not sure what it was from 😅.
Pretty sure a mall tour is when you tour malls. Like, in a band.
Literally not one image of her with acne on the internet???
i love your videos it has helped me so much do you have any hair ones
It’s Camila, not Camiya 😂❤
I was waiting for this one ☝️
HI Cassandra ! I love your videos I have learned so much about skincare. Would you be able to do a video on the brand INN beauty? I think they are a new brand and they have a pimple paste spot treatment I would like to buy and I would like to see your thoughts before I decide to purchase
I think I developed coffee/caffeine sensitivity after drinking cups and cans of americanos everyday during my 10th grade. Now my heartbeat gets fast that I notice it so I refrain from drinking coffee as much as I can. I prefer coffee milk and tea but sometimes you need it for exam period. 😓
I once used an eye serum from Vichy all over my face it lasted a good month.
Can you review the Not So Pretty documentary episode on skincare? Would love to know your thoughts
Lmao. Cassandra, love you! 😅👏
20:13 is a mood LOOL🤣❤️
Ya know, I'm just really tired of celebrities who have tons of money and access to the best dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and skincare telling me how my skin can look just like theirs...if I follow their 30 step, $500 a month (or more) skincare routine. Just stop.
I totally don’t understand the laneige craze. It smells great and looks pretty, but my lips are extremely dry, and it doesn’t sink in AT ALL. It sits on top, and the moment I remove it, I’m back to prune lips. Feels terrible.
Omg the thumbnail 😳🤭😬 you look freaking scary !
