Quick glance at the Kumiko website and the first thing that comes up is a photo of Ricky. So paid brand ambassador for Kumiko, just might be the reason he uses the products in the vid.
I have trigeminal neuralgia and hearing the ice thing in the video with James Welsh terrified me. I don’t want to know what will happen to my face if I put ice on it.
Yesterday was a tough day but despite the chaos, I still wore sunscreen and made sure to wash my face before bed, even if I didn’t do my whole routine or use a skincare headband. Some days all you make yourself can do is the minimum. Also: Ricky Martin seems lovely! I remember seeing him when he first blew up, he seems like such a down to earth person.
For me it has been very inspiring to see Ricky in this video: 1. It is beautiful to see a man sharing his skin care routine because the myth that beauty is only for women is broken 2. How beautiful it is to listen to him share his routine, really transmit a lot of love for himself (that we must all do) 3. I loved that he opened his heart to share how he felt before and how he has begun to learn to love himself and look for the things that make him happy, no matter how successful you are, appearances can be deceiving. Thanks for sharing this video with us , Greetings from Mexico City :)
I think it's because she had a lot of comments telling her to chill and stop attacking people (especially on Jessica alba's video and the way she reacted to some skincare routines of some derms, in the comments people were saying it's like you know better for clapping that way...)
I love your honesty especially about mental health ♥️ My grandma was schizophrenic and back in the days it was and unfortunately in a lot of places it’s still a shame, so she didn’t got treated in time and sadly it caused her death after many years of denial. I love that more and more people gain awareness of these illnesses. It’s super important. ♥️
THANK YOU for calling out "if you come from a restrictive eating background" because that's my background and so many people don't understand that intuitive eating is a form of self-care for me right now. I eventually want to be able to meal prep and eat diff proteins and whole foods, etc. but it's just not healthy for me atm. I need to get away from my mindset of not deserving food or food being bad before I try to introduce a diet.
My mother is obsessed with being thin, she obsessed over me too, growing up. I have a problem with food and balance, I'm 50 but I still don't know what moderation is, though I eat healthily and walk a bit. I used to fast a lot and run too. How I did I don't know now!
Ph of 6 is slightly acidic not alkaline. And as a person who comes from a tradition of using rose water, its helps with a lot of skin issues from a personal experience, yes it doesn't have any studies supporting that but we use rose water to wash babies and for eczema or irritation. However, rose water needs to be steam distilled and the roses used should be damascus roses, native to India and the Middle East.
I recently found you and I've been going through your back catalogue. I was suspicious about Ricky's enthusiasm abut this brand and googled it and it turns out that he's signed a partnership deal with Kumiko. That said, I love seeing men taking care of their skin and he seems so down-to-earth.
OMG, love his enthusiasm and how he talks about caring ourselves but did not love his routine. Thanks for reviewing this video Cassandra, love your honest opinion in every video you made. The product that was not listed was Kumiko Matcha Intense Recovery - Proteoglycans Plus, what do you think about it? Is it really an amazing product? Thanks!
I love you! The last minute of this video, about mental health and the importance of it, is so true. I’ve dealt with complex ptsd, depression, anorexia and bulimia, addiction. It shouldn’t be shameful to have a disease. It’s those people who need extra care and love during their tough times! Sometimes when I’ve had a bad day, I give myself a nice sheet mask or some of my other facial masks that’s “regular, sheet-less” masks. It’s one step closer to self-love!
You mentioned the connection between overall health and skin and that's so true! I have eczema (which has been really bad over the past year because of the pandemic) and I also suffer from IBS. As soon as I found my food sensitivities and made some dietary changes, I noticed my skin improve dramatically. I never used to have issues with eczema pre-pandemic. I actually tended to have pretty clear skin overall, so it's nice to see my skin recovering.
I love how she ALWAYS mentions "if u have financial support go for it" or "if u have extra money go for it" its mean she not forcing everyone to use what celebrities or she use for their skin...🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My mom went almost full vegetarian (and she only eats lean meat), she exercises regularly and has no stress, and she still had high cholesterol. For some pople it's just genetic
YES!! my dad had a heart attack at 41. i was 12 and he was the picture of health, at 5’10 and 165 lbs. it was a genetic condition and, 5 years later, he’s still on certain heart medications. of COURSE diet has something to do with it, but for some of us it really is just genetic but i hope ur mom is doing well
@@mariferarango4916 it’s called familial hypercholestemia :) i don’t think it’s a thyroid issue, it’s just that our hearts produce their own cholesterol. if u wanna learn more ab it, here’s the wikipedia article on it: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_hypercholesterolemia
I was told by my doctor that I had high cholesterol and wanted me to take meds for it but I didn’t want to do that , so I wanted to see if the Cheerios claims were true about reducing cholesterol. I started eating this cereal like for breakfast and as a snack at night. Some days it would be all I wanted for dinner but not always. So this went on for 4 months until my next appointment. I was actually shocked at what my doctor told me, my good cholesterol was so much better than last time that he wasn’t even going to mention the bad cholesterol because it wasn’t that bad. It actually improved my cholesterol!! I couldn’t believe it. It’s true , it worked. Sorry for the long story, I just wanted to mention it.
@@melissaevans4396 yes!! i have to eat it bc they have a good portion of your daily iron content too and i’m anemic lol but they fr taste so good with some honey and fairlife chocolate milk and that also helps with allergies and the fairlife milk has a lot of protein :)
Super important regarding meds: don’t stop medication without taking to your doctor. It worked for him and that’s good but you should always discuss your medication with your doctor before changing the dosage/stop it completely
Yes! Never stop a medication suddenly, you need to lower the dose slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms, or if you notice you actually needed the medication! Going off any medication suddenly can be dangerous, and going off a medication you need even more so. I recently started lowering the dosage of a medication with my doctor and had to go to the ER the next weekend where a different doctor put the dosage back up, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if I just went off of it completely.
Thank you so much for this video Cassandra! You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers and I really appreciate how you’re not afraid to talk about stuff like mental health in your videos. I like your mindset about skincare, self care and health in general. The skincare community can be surprisingly “toxic” at times and your channel feels like a welcoming breath of fresh air that gets me excited and motivated about taking better care of myself and getting know my skin better, rather than shaming me into thinking I need to buy more products to “look better”.
What a beautiful inspiring video! I love skincare videos especially from you but my personal skincare routine is pretty basic! I fill my cup with having a good daily routine (eating well, working out, meditation, audiobooks on self care, alone time)
Ice burns on the skin are rare, ice is given directly after, and applied on filler or Botox. There is nothing inherently wrong with putting ice on the skin and in fact, I myself as an aesthetician recommended to clients with acne
I would love to see a kumiko review or some more european brands 🙏🏻 I always see reviews for so many american brands that I can’t get since I live in spain :(
Yes! I watched this specifically to see what Cassandra thought of the ampoule. That may take time, like months, to see what she thought but could be a whole video, to me!
His skin care routine is a bit all over the place but he’s absolutely gorgeous so I guess it must be working for him, I remember when he was in Menudo and he had really bad acne. It would’ve been good for him to talk about how he cleared his skin up ✌🏼
His energy is so warm and loving. You just get the sense that he's the sweetest, most attentive dad 🥰 And omg, Cassandra, THANK YOU for bringing up some of the reasons why going vegan may not work for every single person. With you being a passionate vegan, it's refreshingly honest and responsible of you. It's so rare to hear vegans addressing any potential problems with veganism, and I respect you that much more for it.
Could I humbly request a video on your favourite cruelty free + vegan skincare (moisturiser, face wash, oil cleanser, retinol, vit C, etc). I eat plant based but honestly that’s the easiest part 🥲
@@morgianasartre6709 yes, but she has so many videos that a condensed video of all the products she uses or even an example of a routine would be helpful.
I think she has a shop my shelf on the Web somewhere, but I do not know if that one is up to date. Would be great to know if there is something new in the videos that have been posted lately that is added to it.
She has a video from May, skincare products I keep buying over and over and over again. And yes, look at her shop my shelf page and even her amazon page.
would you ever rate/judge viewers skin care routine? idk i feel like it could be a cool format where viewers send you a list of their products with a describtion of their concerns/skin type and you help us with what's good or not? i just know that i would love it and could really use your opinion haha :)
This was by far one of my favourite celebrity skin care routines. such good energy, such good advise (mostly haha), for a celebrity really affordable prices aaaand he's a vegetarian. aghhh i love it
Wow! For me this is the most enjoyable and informative (in so many different ways) video. Thank you for your attention and promotion of cruelty free products. Thank you for your courage and strength raising mental health issues! And Ricky blew me away. What a beautiful soul! And YOU are also that beautiful soul. Great work on this video (& keeping it light and fun too). BIG thumbs up from a very happy viewer.💕🙏💖🤗
So happy that I found you! Finding good cruelty free products has been a big deal for me for a few years now and I love Cruelty Free Kitty for their lists of cruelty free brands, but it was so hard to know which ones were actually worth buying. So it has been so awesome to find someone that uses intelligent, science based information, to point me in the right direction! Thank you so much!
I agree about eye creams but let me tell you something. I use them since I was 22 ( mostly eye fluids and gels) and today I don't have even 1 wrinkle around my eyes and I am more than 45. Truth is that 20 years ago we didn't know much about eye creams ingredients ,today we do thanks to you and similar channels here on UA-cam
i hope to be happy one day again. hearing that you’ve been in the hospital helps. it feels like so many happy people have never felt real sadness, so i wondered if it was possible for me to not constantly battle myself. maybe it is.
I enjoyed this video. U have a way that makes me learn more about skin care. I still want to learn about the ingredients that are hidden in products, the way our body works to get the nutrients...slowly I learn good and important things with you Cassandra
I have been using a moisturiser that I like (it’s The Inkey List Vitamin B C E Moisturiser with a little bit of Sunday Riley A+ serum) around my eyes. For the rest of my face I use a moisturiser with salicylic acid and (+ The Inkey List niacinamide serum and The Ordinary’s alpha arbutin serum). And that might be a little too much for my eye area. But I’m gonna purchase The Inkey List retinol eye cream but you Cassandra say it is good for the whole face so that’s what I’ll be doing. ✌️😽💗
these are all really good products just be careful not to overdo it with the drying products!! i’m admittedly saying this as someone with very very dry and acne and eczema prone skin but make sure u introduce some soothing ingredients outside of the retinol to help with the dryness that comes with retinol
Thank you Cassandra to share skincare information and explain pros and cons. I have wondering whether bakuchiol oil and blue tansy oil is beneficial to reduce acne, acne scars, sebum, and skin texture from your point of view (if there is any possible). Btw, your contents really improve my skin!
HOLY SHIT. I have NEVER, EVER, EVER heard a skin care guru mention Trigeminal Neuralgia!! I have it and it makes caring for my skin so difficult, alot of days! I was already a fan of yours, but I am now a simp. Obsessed. 🥰💋
Cassandra, there are types of cholesterol we don’t know what problem he had. Familial hypercholesterolaemia is hereditary, not everything can be managed by food and exercise. Also embolism, cholesterol embolism, and trombosis are not the same. Blood thinning medication (eg Varfarin) is not statins etc.
Yeah, I am on the fence on this one *not a health care provider, this is not medical advice* Often when you start a vegetarian diet, it pushes you to eat more plant based (until you discover all the vegetarian/vegan processed, full of saturated fat and sugar, delicious snacks ^^) We don't know how he ate before that, maybe it wasn't balanced at all It is possible that his Dr. prescribed the meds WITH a lifestyle change because his situation was so worrying that he couldn't wait for the lifestyle change to kick in, or that he, himself, pushed to have medication Or any other scenario Cassandra, as you who work with physicians, I am a bit let down that you did not mention talking to your health care provider or pharmacist FIRST if you have side effects you are worried about and that you should never stop meds cold turkey on your own Otherwise, great video, thank you
I didn’t knew you surf!!!!! Please I need a skin care routine for surfers, or sunscreen recommendation for surfers. I try my best but it’s difficult to protect your skin from the sun when you are in the water .
yes! i love the beach! i sometimes wonder if i’d be happier living near the beach, but where i live right now is the best for me at this time cuz i’m in a city and the beach and mtns are only 3 hours away.
Just throwing it out there again, I’m curious to know your thoughts on animal testing for medical aesthetic procedures. You’re (YAY!) extremely vocal about your opinion on animal testing/use of animal products…. I haven’t seen anything regarding your daily practice though. How is testing done for medical aesthetic procedures, is it done on animals? How can we find out what procedures were built on a foundation of animal cruelty? Is your daily practice influenced by this?
Any of you who liked this comment, it would be awesome if we kept the conversation going. I know Cassandra can’t read all her comments but I believe that she could be super helpful on this. It would be amazing to get our issue addressed so we can be a little more comfortable going into our next treatment.
@@ineedabeachnow7205 I thought so, but I know how personal this issue is to Cassandra so I am wondering her opinion on this? Or if she only does procedures that haven’t been animal tested? Or maybe she got into the profession before her views on using cruelty free products evolved and maybe she continues to do the procedures because it’s her chosen profession and so moving forward she will do what she can?? I find this a really interesting subject and would love to hear back from her!
Honestly same here been really curious. I want to be an esthetician but I want to know how its like for medical esthetician’s ,I think she should do a video about this for sure like doing reviews on esthetician products if they are cruelty free,vegan etc. If they are actually good since she has a lot to say about brands, like how do we actually know if what my esthetician is using actually good and not a gimmick. Brands for example like: skinscript, bioelements, Eminence etc. Like what does she use in her job that is cruelty free etc.
I've been dying for you to do this video- THANK YOU!!! When you mentioned people putting diapers on their face it reminded me of a friend I had in highschool. Her family had flawless skin. She told us her mother swore by urine masks for the whole family. This all makes sense now. I won't be partaking but it makes sense now! xoxo, Mikey from Massachusetts
Heyyy ur the best!!! Ur like my skin care godmother cause my mom does not believe in skin care and so I watched ur videos and learn how to layer I live in India. Loads of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️ Plzzzzz make a video reviewing Indian skin care it would be soooo helpful plzzzzz.

I am so happy you said it can exacerbate trigeminal neuralgia. I deal with that due to nerve damage. It's a horrible pain! I almost went for it, Ricky! 😱
Thanks for informing us of Mental Health , I've been in several Psych units and sectioned . My skin care is quite basic just Nivea for Men and sunscreen .
If ice and not taking meds works for him, it works for him. Everything doesn't have to be cookie cutter and as much as I rely on Western Medicine sometimes doctors get it wrong. Was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and first suggestion was to put me on Metformin. No thank you. Exercise, low carb diet, Intermittent fasting and 10lbs weight loss later, blood sugar numbers are normal.
Rose water as a toner is so nice 😝 it's supposed to help with scarring and irritation (noticed an improvement with both) and it's also said to have mild cleansing properties? Not sure about this last one, but we use rose water to wash our new babies in my country so 😂 my sensitive skin loves it
@@muhammadzikri8492 never heard of cica! What is it? 🤔 Could your face react to rose water because it has some other additives? The one I use is the one meant for babies, so it only has rose water, a conservative and glycerin. I know my face hates tons of the additives in skincare out there 😣
Can you do a review of Plaine beauty products please! They have a subscription option where they pick up your used bottles and re-use them! They are cruelty free and vegan, certified B Corp, and carbon neutral! Super cool brand I’d love a review of the ingredients from a specialist though! 🙏🏼😬
Hey Cassandra :) I was wondering if you'd ever do a video on some 'Formula 10 0 6' products? I've been using their 'Best Face Forward' cleanser for a few years now, but would love to hear your wisdom and opinion on the brand and products
"Eye pads are kinda like a pushup bra for the under👀" This statement cracked me up 🤣 Cassandra, why are you so smart, beautiful and funny?! Bless your heart! Thanks for making my day with your great skincare information and humor.

Botox talk 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Ugh, he is actually so nice. Ive seen him in person and he is EXACTLY like this. So chill, kind and humble. I love him.
Awwh that's great! He's gorgeous!
Well who doesn't act cool when you meet em for the first time and that too for like a few mins
I have nothing against him tho
Don’t love the products but I love his enthusiasm for every thing he uses 😂😂

Is it just me, or Cassandra seems more chilled and comfortable than usual? LOVE TO SEE❤️
I noticed that too!! Makes me happy ❤
yeah in some videos her energy was so chaotic I just couldn't watch it was stressing me but in this video she's very zen 😊
I think it's because she had a lot of comments telling her to chill and stop attacking people (especially on Jessica alba's video and the way she reacted to some skincare routines of some derms, in the comments people were saying it's like you know better for clapping that way...)
I thought the same thing over the last several videos. I prefer it :)

I found the ampoule, it’s Kumiko as well; in the process I also found out that Ricky is a “partner” in Kumiko and owns part of the parent company
Oooh, I wonder if he should have disclosed that.
@@yvettebasson1243 I think he definitely have too. Does it say on the original video? If not he is not being honest.

3:26 a little correction to the video: urine being 6 on the ph scale makes it acidic, not alkaline
Normal urine pH is usually 4.5 to 6 ... So , I think it's not that incorrect 🙂
@@samsunnaharbeauty8109 yes, but at that pH you would call it acidic not alkaline. That's the point of Matka Matuláková :)

With you being a passionate vegan, it's refreshingly honest and responsible of you. It's so rare to hear vegans addressing any potential problems with veganism, and I respect you that much more for it.
Could I humbly request a video on your favourite cruelty free + vegan skincare (moisturiser, face wash, oil cleanser, retinol, vit C, etc). I eat plant based but honestly that’s the easiest part 🥲
Isn't everything she recommends already cruelty free and vegan?
@@morgianasartre6709 yes, but she has so many videos that a condensed video of all the products she uses or even an example of a routine would be helpful.
I think she has a shop my shelf on the Web somewhere, but I do not know if that one is up to date. Would be great to know if there is something new in the videos that have been posted lately that is added to it.
She has a video from May, skincare products I keep buying over and over and over again. And yes, look at her shop my shelf page and even her amazon page.
would you ever rate/judge viewers skin care routine? idk i feel like it could be a cool format where viewers send you a list of their products with a describtion of their concerns/skin type and you help us with what's good or not? i just know that i would love it and could really use your opinion haha :)
Such a great idea!
I just found your channel, and I love your energy so much!
This was by far one of my favourite celebrity skin care routines. such good energy, such good advise (mostly haha), for a celebrity really affordable prices aaaand he's a vegetarian. aghhh i love it
I love how passionate you are about skincare Cassandra 🔥💘
One of my favorite concerts I ever been to - the gorgeous Ricky Martin ♥️🌹♥️
I love his video just because he seems so at peace. You can tell he loves his routine and it’s hypnotizing to listen to him.
wow i really liked his very positive chill dad vibes
Wow! For me this is the most enjoyable and informative (in so many different ways) video. Thank you for your attention and promotion of cruelty free products. Thank you for your courage and strength raising mental health issues! And Ricky blew me away. What a beautiful soul! And YOU are also that beautiful soul. Great work on this video (& keeping it light and fun too). BIG thumbs up from a very happy viewer.💕🙏💖🤗
So happy that I found you! Finding good cruelty free products has been a big deal for me for a few years now and I love Cruelty Free Kitty for their lists of cruelty free brands, but it was so hard to know which ones were actually worth buying. So it has been so awesome to find someone that uses intelligent, science based information, to point me in the right direction! Thank you so much!
You mentioned Dr Dray, I'd love an updated Dr Dray made me buy it!!!! Thanks for the upload!
Yaasss skincare and body care is AMAZING 😍😍😍
A vlog about you doing beach day stuff ,surfing ,eating and or fun stuff would be super fun
I agree about eye creams but let me tell you something. I use them since I was 22 ( mostly eye fluids and gels)
and today I don't have even 1 wrinkle around my eyes and I am more than 45. Truth is that 20 years ago we didn't know much about eye creams ingredients ,today we do thanks to you and similar channels here on UA-cam
Thank you for approving and talking about the sensory experience being important to some people! I feel like its so looked down at
Aw he is such a cool guy. 🥰
He looks dang good! 💖
i hope to be happy one day again. hearing that you’ve been in the hospital helps. it feels like so many happy people have never felt real sadness, so i wondered if it was possible for me to not constantly battle myself. maybe it is.
Wishing you peace ❤
I enjoyed this video. U have a way that makes me learn more about skin care. I still want to learn about the ingredients that are hidden in products, the way our body works to get the nutrients...slowly I learn good and important things with you Cassandra
Now I’m not sure if I have a bit of a crush on Ricky or I want him to adopt me.
Watching Cassandra and doing my skincare makes my day better
I'd love to see a video on more of this weird and interesting ancient skincare methods.
Reacting to routines is my fav ❤️
I love you Cassandra I'm happy to having you on UA-cam ❤❤❤❤
Right now I'm transitioning to a more plant based diet this means vegetarian or vegan 6 days a week and a small serving of fish once a week 😊
I have been using a moisturiser that I like (it’s The Inkey List Vitamin B C E Moisturiser with a little bit of Sunday Riley A+ serum) around my eyes.
For the rest of my face I use a moisturiser with salicylic acid and (+ The Inkey List niacinamide serum and The Ordinary’s alpha arbutin serum). And that might be a little too much for my eye area. But I’m gonna purchase The Inkey List retinol eye cream but you Cassandra say it is good for the whole face so that’s what I’ll be doing. ✌️😽💗
Don’t you love when you see celebrities using the same ingredients as you, but your products cost hundreds less???
@@Jezebel066 Jaa! 😸of course!
these are all really good products just be careful not to overdo it with the drying products!! i’m admittedly saying this as someone with very very dry and acne and eczema prone skin but make sure u introduce some soothing ingredients outside of the retinol to help with the dryness that comes with retinol
@@katelynsousa6591 💗🙏Thank you
@@rosemary5005 ofc i just don’t want someone else to have to struggle with some of the bad shit that i did
Thank you Cassandra to share skincare information and explain pros and cons. I have wondering whether bakuchiol oil and blue tansy oil is beneficial to reduce acne, acne scars, sebum, and skin texture from your point of view (if there is any possible). Btw, your contents really improve my skin!
We need a short video of Cass just quickly saying the names of various products from Amazon. Too funny. Maybe TikTok
yes! She so cutely butchers all of the names
You're such a BEAUTIFUL PERSON ❤❤❤
HOLY SHIT. I have NEVER, EVER, EVER heard a skin care guru mention Trigeminal Neuralgia!! I have it and it makes caring for my skin so difficult, alot of days! I was already a fan of yours, but I am now a simp. Obsessed. 🥰💋
The product that he used that promotes collagen production is match intense recovery proteoglycans plus
Cassandra, there are types of cholesterol we don’t know what problem he had. Familial hypercholesterolaemia is hereditary, not everything can be managed by food and exercise. Also embolism, cholesterol embolism, and trombosis are not the same. Blood thinning medication (eg Varfarin) is not statins etc.
Yeah, I am on the fence on this one
*not a health care provider, this is not medical advice*
Often when you start a vegetarian diet, it pushes you to eat more plant based (until you discover all the vegetarian/vegan processed, full of saturated fat and sugar, delicious snacks ^^)
We don't know how he ate before that, maybe it wasn't balanced at all
It is possible that his Dr. prescribed the meds WITH a lifestyle change because his situation was so worrying that he couldn't wait for the lifestyle change to kick in, or that he, himself, pushed to have medication
Or any other scenario
Cassandra, as you who work with physicians, I am a bit let down that you did not mention talking to your health care provider or pharmacist FIRST if you have side effects you are worried about and that you should never stop meds cold turkey on your own
Otherwise, great video, thank you
I didn’t knew you surf!!!!! Please I need a skin care routine for surfers, or sunscreen recommendation for surfers. I try my best but it’s difficult to protect your skin from the sun when you are in the water .
This video answered so many questions about alkaline what doctors could not. Big thanks!!
The ampoule he used is the Kumiko Matcha Intense Recovery-Proteoglycans Plus
It’s the Kiehls Ferulic antioxidant facial treatment. I got it two weeks back from Sephora & I love it!!
yes! i love the beach! i sometimes wonder if i’d be happier living near the beach, but where i live right now is the best for me at this time cuz i’m in a city and the beach and mtns are only 3 hours away.
18:13 I really love your face expression, I felt it
Whenever I see or hear the person mention eye cream, I scream and can’t wait for Cassandras reaction 😂
Love you and your videos! They’re so helpful. 😭❤️
Just throwing it out there again, I’m curious to know your thoughts on animal testing for medical aesthetic procedures. You’re (YAY!) extremely vocal about your opinion on animal testing/use of animal products…. I haven’t seen anything regarding your daily practice though. How is testing done for medical aesthetic procedures, is it done on animals? How can we find out what procedures were built on a foundation of animal cruelty? Is your daily practice influenced by this?
Any of you who liked this comment, it would be awesome if we kept the conversation going. I know Cassandra can’t read all her comments but I believe that she could be super helpful on this. It would be amazing to get our issue addressed so we can be a little more comfortable going into our next treatment.
I'm pretty sure fda requires animal testing for medical procedures and prescription medication before it's approved for human use.
@@ineedabeachnow7205 I thought so, but I know how personal this issue is to Cassandra so I am wondering her opinion on this? Or if she only does procedures that haven’t been animal tested? Or maybe she got into the profession before her views on using cruelty free products evolved and maybe she continues to do the procedures because it’s her chosen profession and so moving forward she will do what she can?? I find this a really interesting subject and would love to hear back from her!
Honestly same here been really curious. I want to be an esthetician but I want to know how its like for medical esthetician’s ,I think she should do a video about this for sure like doing reviews on esthetician products if they are cruelty free,vegan etc. If they are actually good since she has a lot to say about brands, like how do we actually know if what my esthetician is using actually good and not a gimmick. Brands for example like: skinscript, bioelements, Eminence etc. Like what does she use in her job that is cruelty free etc.
I've been dying for you to do this video- THANK YOU!!!
When you mentioned people putting diapers on their face it reminded me of a friend I had in highschool. Her family had flawless skin. She told us her mother swore by urine masks for the whole family. This all makes sense now. I won't be partaking but it makes sense now!

Heyyy ur the best!!!
Ur like my skin care godmother cause my mom does not believe in skin care and so I watched ur videos and learn how to layer I live in India.
Loads of love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️
Plzzzzz make a video reviewing Indian skin care it would be soooo helpful plzzzzz.
Check out Indian skincare channels or the indianskincareaddicts reddit thread.
@@db-gb5xi I have but not found anything that helps with my comodones plzz recommend some Chanel 😭
@@mahatireddy6451 People have recommend these (there are more): SkinQure, Zolie Skin Clinic, Dadu Medical Centre, Dr Aanchal MD, Dr. Anvika, Dr Surbhi, Dermatologist, the Skinopedia, Olivia Skin and Hair Clinic, maitrayee halder, samapti banerjee, shivee chauhan, pooja reviews
@@db-gb5xi thx u soo much
I am so happy you said it can exacerbate trigeminal neuralgia. I deal with that due to nerve damage. It's a horrible pain! I almost went for it, Ricky! 😱
He has a really soothing talking voice
Ricky Martin my Love 😍 ♥️♥️😘♥️♥️
Yes! I've been waiting for this 💕
I love necessaire so much!
Thanks for informing us of Mental Health , I've been in several Psych units and sectioned . My skin care is quite basic just Nivea for Men and sunscreen .
I love Love Ricky Martin 😘♥️♥️😍
😩 he’s so sweet.
Used use on my face for years, it is very refreshing
Curious, do you have any recommendations for an aging lady who is noticing her skin on her neck become more loose and wrinkly looking?
Do you have a video about sunscreens for breakout prone skin?
If ice and not taking meds works for him, it works for him. Everything doesn't have to be cookie cutter and as much as I rely on Western Medicine sometimes doctors get it wrong. Was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and first suggestion was to put me on Metformin. No thank you. Exercise, low carb diet, Intermittent fasting and 10lbs weight loss later, blood sugar numbers are normal.
Rose water as a toner is so nice 😝 it's supposed to help with scarring and irritation (noticed an improvement with both) and it's also said to have mild cleansing properties? Not sure about this last one, but we use rose water to wash our new babies in my country so 😂 my sensitive skin loves it
I have sensitive skin and rose water makes my face red & itchy 😩 cica water is better
@@muhammadzikri8492 never heard of cica! What is it? 🤔
Could your face react to rose water because it has some other additives? The one I use is the one meant for babies, so it only has rose water, a conservative and glycerin. I know my face hates tons of the additives in skincare out there 😣
Hey, live your channel! Vary helpful and informative! Did you try the skin care products from 'free'? What do you think about them?
Can you do a review of Plaine beauty products please! They have a subscription option where they pick up your used bottles and re-use them! They are cruelty free and vegan, certified B Corp, and carbon neutral! Super cool brand I’d love a review of the ingredients from a specialist though! 🙏🏼😬
Cassandra I would love to see Charlotte Tilbury skincare review :)
The line may not be cruelty free due to its parent company.
@@db-gb5xi the company is cruelty free
I wonder if some of these people ever see or comment on ur reactions lol. I think he would happy for ur advice. Great video!
"Podcast... Coming soon!" Don't tease us like this! I'd love for you to have a podcast!
Hey Cassandra :) I was wondering if you'd ever do a video on some 'Formula 10 0 6' products? I've been using their 'Best Face Forward' cleanser for a few years now, but would love to hear your wisdom and opinion on the brand and products
The tiny bottles that help collagen...are from KUMIKO....again! Lol I screen shotted him holding it and zoomed in.
Cass' face when the ice came out 😂 I feel you 🥶
Totally continue to spread and push about MATTER cruelty free
A HUGE TUMBS UP FOR THAT!
"Eye pads are kinda like a pushup bra for the under👀" This statement cracked me up 🤣 Cassandra, why are you so smart, beautiful and funny?! Bless your heart! Thanks for making my day with your great skincare information and humor.
Yea she's great 👍😊
You are AMAZING!! 😊😊
