Also, Cassandra...It's recently come to my attention that the majority of Korean products that are popular in the international space are not really that popular in Korea (an example is the Isntree Watery Sun Gel). I was reading a post by a Korean consumer discussing the same who said that they won't consider a product like the Isntree Watery Sun Gel as an example of what represents the widely prevalent skincare in Korea as it isn't that popular over there. I find it interesting how there's actually a wide gap between the K-Beauty products which are popular in Korea and those overseas and how they're marketed differently because they're targeted towards different audiences (the international and the domestic).
I'd really appreciate it if you could look into this and share some thoughts of your own (if you wanted to). ❤️
This is very interesting but totally makes sense!
Isntree as a brand is still decently well known in korea, though i must admit their sun gel isnt as widely loved as it is overseas. Scinic's organic sunscreen is actually THE underdog organic sunscreen that is widely adored in south korea.
The dissonance between domestic and international audience isnt anything new. For example the nivea soft cream is supposedly created for south east asians in humid climates. Then there is north face the brand which was almost dying in america but got so popular in south korea for god knows why and the brand was saved.
I watch the Olive Young site to see what’s trending over there.
Suntique "Im Pure" sunblock is my fave! Isn'tree sounds so much like Innisfree . Innisfee is made with organic ingredients grown on Jeju island. It is very good for the price. I really enjoyed the green tea seed set (5 oz cleanser, 80ml. serum, small toner and cream)that lasted for months( great for summertime in California) I know it's from Amore Pacific. loved it so much, but it smells like fresh green tea which some people are not going to like.
Korean gov basically help fund small/mid companies to export/promote products internationally when they started to show popularity of k formulas, techniques etc. So a ton of the brands we know in the west aren't popular products in Korea- competition is fierce a lot of legacy brands/corps rule the market. I'm very much paraphrasing something I read in an article about it a couple years ago. Like my k bff got me a kbeauty gift card for my bday and when she was going through the site I shopped she didn't recognise most of the brands
This actually makes so much sense! I was wondering why I love my HA so much but others really didn't, turns out it is because I coincidentally use it right after the shower!!
Ok Cass, here me out! I basically using hyaluronic acid with my face steamer! Steam your face tiny bit then apply hyaluronic acid and steam again! You can thank me later! Better than shower trick IMO. I tried them both.
Hi Cassandra I'm a teen who suffered from acne and hyperpigmentation thank u a lot I learnt so much from you 🥰❤️
Went through the same, your doing amazing!!!
Can someone help, what to do with body hyperpigmentation???
Omg girl can we talk about your hair? Love your hair and THANK YOU FOR ALL WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR US, WE LOVE YOU ❤️
I can't believe you didn't know the shower trick! I literally feel like my products are not penetrating into my skin or hydrating at all if I don't apply them after taking a warm/hot shower. I also end up having to use way less product because it actually glides across damp skin and doesn't drag at all. It also makes heavy moisturizers feel way less thick/smothering on the face. You could also use like a facial steamer or just warm water for a similar effect if you don't want to/need to shower and want to do your routine. Warm skin + wet skin also increases the penetration of your actives, because your blood vessels are dilated and most skincare actives are water soluble, and solubility becomes easier at higher temperatures.
Congrats on 2 million. Your videos have really helped me with my skin.
Also a good idea to have humidifier on the go. HA pulls moisture in to the skin and if the air is dry it starts pulling the moisture from the surface layers of your skin.
Dr Drey said to do the same-to apply to wet skin first and then put moisturizer over it. That’s what I do. I love it!
I love that you are open to changing your mind. Thank you for sharing why!
CASSANDRAAAA not only ru a vegan and cruelty free queen but u also incorporate societal and systemic factors when it comes to the skin industry so that all of ur beautiful butterflies are well-informed. this is the worse run on sentence ever but yeppp
The Osea Sea serum has been a game changer for me!! My rosacea has improved so much with all the info I’ve gotten from watching your videos!! Changed my life! I’ll be joining the patreon and hope to get even more out of this platform!! Thank you so much❤️
I have alot of acne, pimples and I also have ADHD so I'm a big skin picker, I'm glad I have found you(been watching for over a year for sure). I feel understood, seen and heard about skincare/skin with you, thank you for educating us and making our lives better. ❤️
Same! Hehe😁
Omg!!! You have just confirmed what I’ve been doing for a while but I couldn’t find anything information similar to prove that it was working. Thank you for this video.
I absolutely ADORE your curls. Every time you post a video rocking them I’m like 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
My skin has been especially dry this winter, but I blamed it on climate (and aging 😂). I’m going to try this HA shower tip, it sounds like a good cure. Love, love, love this video 💜
Cassandra! I love you so much!!! Thank you for preaching that skincare is selfcare and making me believe that my whole skin can look better without destroying my budget or 123 step routine! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 💜🧡❤ 🦋🦋🦋😘😘😘
I came to a similar idea as Debbie a few months ago and started applying my HA serum right after I get out of the shower (when there’s still steam in the bathroom) and I think it works well too!
I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS CAUSE I DO THIS it just made sense in my mind but I never heard about it as being a thing so good to hear the science behind it and that it actually is doing something!!
Loving the natural curls! They look beautiful!
For those of us that have a Marshall's/T.J. Maxx checked out the skincare aisle. I found the Biossance mist for $7.99 ❤️❤️ and I love it
I've always used oils just out of the shower; face and body. I was told many years ago by an Avon rep, oddly enough, that's how you were supposed to use body oils. Of course she was selling me their skin-so-soft oil...but I've carried that tip with me through life and applied it to face and body oils since and it's great.
I bought the Catrice one recently because was surprisingly cheaper in my country, and it's not burning/stinging me at all. It feels great on my skin. I put it right after the shower, on wet/damp skin, and then the rest of the routine.
I actually do it that way following an explanation you gave in another older video of yours, so it's kinda funny to learn that you rediscover your own great advice 🤗
You started my skin care journey and I thank you for it! It's amazing to be able to read labels, try out different products and know what to expect, and understand what's worth my time and money and what's not.
Thanks you 🙏🏻🤗♥️
Order of HA if also using a CE Ferulic serum? I usually do the C before anything. Anyone have an answer?
Hey Cassandra, I have been watching your videos for some time now, and they're great. It's great to have a place where we can all be skintellectual together. Your advice and recommendations are amazing. For someone like myself who hasn't particularly struggled with specific skincare problems; I generally just love the ritual of skincare and taking care of myself. Carrying on being amazing also the Vichy Mineral 89 is a great Hydrating serum. Have a nice day!!
Glad you can afford the Vichy! I don't know where my skin would be without her💗🦋💗🦋
I’ve been putting hydrologic acid in the bath since I started using it. Mostly because you taught me how it works so it was the most logical thing to do. Thank you for teaching us about ingredients ❤
Lol yup same!!!
Thank you for creating such a comprehensive content - I've learned so much since I've found your channel. Also wanted to tell you you look so beautiful in this ginkgo leaf dress or top 💕
It’s like walking a tightrope (especially over 40 on a limited budget!)! I gave up retinols in favor of collagen & HA. Is that ok? My skin seems to like it! As a skinimalist w/ SENSITIVE skin, I already feel better that I’m not alone! You’re a skin superstar & still navigating!
Hi, Cassandra! I hope you are well and having a beautiful day so far. I watched this video this morning and couldn't wait to try the in-shower method with my hyaluronic acid serum and OMG! My skin couldn't be happier! Immediately my skin didn't have that tight feeling that I usually develop shortly after getting out of the shower. Today was a hair washing day for me in the shower, so the steam usually dries my combo skin out since I'm in there for a bit longer than most days. This will be a game-changer for me and I can't wait to continue using this method with my HA serum. Thanks so much for sharing and for your honesty! 💕🦋
She is such a gem💗I truly don't know where my skin would be without her💗🦋💗🦋
I was actually looking forward to your new upload! 😁
So my skin also felt dry this winter and I couldn't understand why. Gonna give it a try, thank you!
Esthetician if 20 years and this is exactly what I do! I liken it to putting my leave in conditioner on while my hairs still super wet! Makes my curls so happy and my almost 50 year old skin look … not it’s age 🥳
Girl your hair is looking amazing 😮 curls really suits you 😍
Hi Cassandra, I usually don't comment on videos but I'll make an exception this time. First of all, thank you for making these videos. I also have oily/combination skin despite being in my late 30's and although I don't suffer with acne, my makeup doesn't last very long and I always have to powder my shiny forehead and I used to have a quite few blackheads. I watched your video when you said that you were going to stop using HA and I was really curious about how long it's going to last. I used to use hardly any products on my skin and people always guessed that I am a decade younger. Out of nowhere, last winter, I started to suffer with really dry eyelids, they would literally peel and no matter what moisturizer I put on, it was only getting worse. I also put retinol on them, which I then learnt made it only worse. So I did some research and found the Ordinary HA. I wasn't expecting much for the price as I used to use more expensive moisturizer that failed me, and my eyelids improved tremendously in a day, and completely cured in 4 days. I couldn't believe how good it was, so I thought to have a look at some more ordinary products's reviews, which was when I started to follow your channel. I've been using the ordinary HA ever since and no dry patches ever appeared on my face ever again, not even in winter. Also, it looks like it adds volume to my skin which I love because any fine lines that I used to have a year ago have vanished, although I have naturally quite thick skin on my face which I believe makes it slower to age together with being unbelievably oily. Sorry it's this long, but I've tried most of the ordinary products that you've recommended for oily skin types and my skin has improved in a year a lot, as it's not as oily and I don't get any dryness around my nose and on sides of my face like I used to. I am sure that you've tried this but another thing that I found as revolutionary as HA and the ordinary in general, is to sleep exclusively on silk pillows. I've bought a few and since I was sleeping exclusively on these, my blackeads have reduced significantl, literally vanished. I have microdermbrasion every few weeks and my beautician noticed that there were no blackheads to remove, which made her life much easier. The only thing that has changed in that time were my pillows. The change wasn't instantaneous, it took maybe 2 months to make a real difference, but I can't recommend them enough. My partner also used to have some blackheads on his nose and his has gone as well. Anyways, keep it up please. It's great to get unbiased reviews from someone with a similar skin type. There's far too many UA-camrs with dry skin and the ones with oily skin are 20 years younger! Thank you
I used to watch your videos on dB, and now I'm here. Also, it is funny, I just found out about this acid and thought about you instantly to learn more. To my surprise, you just made a video about it. Thank you!
I'm so glad that you're still uploading to this day. I could listen to you for hours! When it comes to your recommendations I trust you 100%. ☺🖤
Omg soo cool and beautiful that you wear your hair like this now. It looks great!!
Ive always put on my HA serum right after the shower while my face is still wet. I let that soak in for a couple minutes then go in with the rest of my routine. It seems to really hydrate my skin well.
what if i just wet my face.. whats the deal with taking a whole shower
My skin has been so dry since I recovered from Covid. So I'm definitely going to try this!
omg Cassandra you are a livesaver! my skin was so flakey this winter. i thought products with HA just weren't for me, foundations with HA always made the flakey mess. And i tried this for 3 days, i've never seen my skin this healthy in years. Such a simple trick ,,, love you!
Right! I love, love, love HA in the shower! So incredibly plumping!💗🦋💗🦋
Giiirl! Your hair looks so beautiful! 🤩🤩
I use the ordinary HA when I get out of the shower and love it! I did receive a spring water mister can in a Avene gift set which I also spray on my face after my shower to keep my skin wet before applying HA.
Hi Cassandra, I agree with you on using hyaluronic acid and not skipping it totally. My skin is combo leaning towards dryness prone, but I have taken note that oily sebum without hydration is causing uneven skin tone and acne. After my skin routine of moisture and nourishment, I will still spray hydrating spray to curb sebum output.
I loveee doing this, I haven’t tried a ton but my favourite HA is the serum by isntree and it’s not overly expensive but feels super luxurious :) I‘ve also been doing this kind of routine but not inside the shower but right after I get out of the shower… it really makes a difference but my main concern was just the dryness I get if I don’t put some kind of barrier on my skin right after the shower because my skin is dryyyyy
Friendly reminder that H.A and sandwich method are your best friends when you start with retinol/ retinal/ tretinoin. Thank you for coming to my ted talk with my 3 months old westie by my side ❤🐶🥺💖
is it HA serum, retinol and lastly moisturiser? i’d love to try this out 😍
@@MatttMitchell absolutely YES!! ☺️😎💅
@@MatttMitchellor if the Retinol is irritating to you, use the moisturizer first, wait 10 mins, then use your Retinol/Tretinoin, then use your moisturizer on top!
Actually, niacinamide
100%! I use HA & Snail Mucin to sandwich my Tretinoin and I've had no issues - no peeling, no irritation etc, apart from a tiny patch of redness on my jaw.
I DO have very oily Mediterranean skin though, so that might help too.
I love you so much Cassandra! And your hair looks amazing
Can we all just say THANK YOU DEBBIE!!!🎉
I don’t remember who said it but I followed advice after washing my face to let it air dry or just move on with routine moisturizer. It was mostly about acne and not reintroducing old debris from towels. And I think that has provided lots of water for the moisturizer to lock in. So inadvertently doing the tip. But I’m going to get some marine hyaluronics and try this!!! Thanks Debbie!!! ❤
Thank you for the amazing vidoes and the big help for all of us. You are abolute awesome! Short Question, will there be a video or something about the "MAC HYPER REAL SKIN CARE"? Thanks for your work and have a great week!
I absolutely learn more from you than anyone else on line!!! You are smart, pretty and just darn precious!
One thing I struggle with is very puffy under the eyes that are causing me to look like I have dark circles. I have tried a million products. Besides fillers is there something else you could recommend please!
Keep up the great work!
🦋
Caffeine is going to be your best bet for under eye puffiness. Unless it's caused by a medical condition such as water retention. Good Luck!💗🦋💗🦋
Your hair looks so good!
Your hair looks incredible btw, love the video 🥰
My mom wears a CPAP to sleep and gets dry skin but hates greasy lotion, and I got her HOOKED on the ordinary marine serum! It absorbs and works sooo well
I love love your videos! Learnt so much from them - also, using your shopping lists on various platforms and bought many products already based on your recommendations 💚. There is one thing I don't seem to find enough info about: how does your weekly routine look like? I mean with all the products not to be used at once I watched the am vs pm guidance, but when it comes to exfoliation and dermaplaning and retinoids and clay masks and IPL etc - I am trying to be very mindful of what I do and when I do, but I couldn't really figure out an optimal weekly/bi-weekly schedule on when to do what (considering the Do's and Don'ts related to certain treatments/products. Would it be something you could maybe address in a video - please please please 🙏☺
I've been using HA together with thermal water face mist (Avene works best for me) for about 15 years now and I never had flakey skin again ever since. I think the same mechanism was applied to several body lotion products in Japan that we just keep in the shower room and use right at the spot (meaning before getting out of the shower room).
My 7 year old is giggling at the animal sounds throughout this 😂 thank you Cassandra for all you do you’re helping me so much (34 single mama in Oregon & adult acne in recovery 🤞)
Ive been doing the shower method hyaluronic acid for years and exactly because of what u described about it attracting water molecules.
I'm 47 and I absolutely annot be without my hyalacid!! I can totally see the difference in my fine lines when I don't use it
I'll have to try this! I already do this with my hair using the Inkey List HA hair treatment before I get out of the shower and wrap my hair in a towel.
i started using the inkey list hyaluronic acid and i noticed such good improvement on my skin. i really didn’t expect it but its really nice
Omg Cassandra I am just so in love with your curls, literally so stunning!! Freaking hair goals 😩😍💞💞
They're absolutely incredible!❤️
Agree her curls are everything
@Kara Talks about Stuff watch the Manes by Mel video with Cassandra! Lots of good tip! Also, true bond repair is important too. Not the fakey bond repair products, but like Olaplex and K18. But Mel's tips are awesome!
@@debbie_LJ Thanks for the tip, but I've been a loyal Mel viewer for a few years. I think I've seen that collab twice already. And, I use Olaplex on my kid every summer. (My hair doesn't need it, but hers accumulates damage rapidly.)
@Kara Talks about Stuff although I'm a natural blonde, I get highlights. Damaging🥴 My curls look better than ever since bond repair!
I've been doing this with my ordinary HA and peptides (the buffet with a new name i guess) and if I didn't just shower, I do it immediately after washing my face and only slightly drying it. glad to know that it's an actual method you approve of!
OMG CASSANDRA!!! The flake thing happened to me!!!!! Products with hyaluronic acid is part of what helped along with cermide based products. However, peptide cream has been the star of my skin show, doing what other Moisturizers couldn't....keeping my skin hydrated all day
Hiii I'm super excited to see you!!
Love the wavy hair look queen 😻
Oh I can definitely tell when I don’t use my hyaluronic acid serum! I love the Glow Recipe one!
Thank you so much for this video! Since going thru forced menopause from chemotherapy drugs, my normally oily and dewy skin has been drying up like a desert and I’ve been desperately buying products that haven’t helped.
I've had 2 breast cancers myself, so I definitely relate! In fact, this is what drew me to Cassandra in the 1st place! My skin was awful! Just went through a traumatic divorce due to domestic violence, I also had both ovaries removed, so I feel your pain🫂 ask me anything here, and I'll answer. (BTW, I am The aforementioned Debbie) Love to you💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋
@@debbie_LJ thank you! I do hope you’re in a better place now, physically, medically, and emotionally! If I can think of a specific question, I’ll ask. I did try the shower trick and it was amazing!! I’ve been using the HA and a moisturizer and not seeing results until I put the HA on in the shower. Wow! Thanks!
@livesouthernable Anytime 😊 and yes, I'm in a great place, happy, healthy (ish) and doing really well🥰Thank you! Love to you 💗🦋💗💗🦋
@@debbie_LJ love to you too!! ❤️❤️❤️💕
I love hyaluronic acid but my skin has dramatically changed into focusing on hydration & barrier protection. Switching to sodium hyaluronate has been the best!
Hi Cassandra! Question for you for a future video idea possibly? Can you try to compare the fibroblast function and how theyre impacted by a condition with marfanoid habitus or marfanoid or widepread hypermobility/ connectice tissue disease presentation since its usually involving irregularities within the fibroblasts and collagen biosynthesis processes... and how some of the products used for the purpose of activation within that process in "normal" people might affect those who do have disease involving irregularities in collagen synthesis and the extracellular matrix? I know its a bit advanced, but you always explain stuff in ways that i understand and grasp while also not having the science dumbed down too much.
I remembered when the firt time I heard of this method of applying HA was at an old video of Dr. Dray's she applied it right after her shower or on a still wet skin after washing it. I need to try this again. Thanks girly you are 👌 👍
I put it on immediately after washing my face in the shower, still wet and getting splashed every so often. I use a cheap one for this. Works amazingly!
After resisting buying it for a long, looong time i finally bought the hada labo gokujyun hyaluronic acid lotion &its a game changer. I LOVE IT. Works way better for me than the Haruharu one.
Would hiiighly recommend!
Tried it love it!!! Thanks!
Yay! Love you 💗🦋💗🦋
Debbie's skin is flawless in that photo! I aspire to become a tret queen one day!
Awwwww, thank you sweetie! I used to have outrageous sun damage! The tretinoin I use is only $13 a tube! I use the SingleCare card and a tube lasts 2-3 months! It's legit cheaper than any retinol cream! Good skincare needn't be expensive! I get the .0.025 and it has been the best thing for all of my skincare woes! Just ask any dermatologist for a script! Well worth it! Love to you💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋
I’m loving your waves!
The Shower Method is kinda what my mom does when putting on lotions. She hates the feel of a residue that a lot of lotions leave behind on the skin and so what she's been doing is using those lotions when she's done with her shower and then put it on her skin before going out of the shower. (it also helps in using up lotions we've had and been trying to use up for a while), She's been happy with it and her skin feels softer to her due to it.
I've also been kinda doing a similar thing, when it's a shower day for me I take all my skin care into the shower with me and my skin does feel like it's healing a lot of the issues I developed over the years. I haven't done it quite yet with my personal lotions and moistiors because I wanted to see if it worked with my clenser (also I don't want to stay in the bathroom for long periods of time if I'm already taking a shower, I have stuff to do), but I think I may start doing the same thing as my mom with most stuff so all I have to worry about is if I do it during the day, put on sunscreen, or if at night, I can relax and go straight to bed without worrying about needing to put on my lotion as soon as I get out of the shower (because my skin does get tight if I don't put on the moistenizors)
If this works out after a while, I will be seeing if I *need* to add in a Hydrolotic acid because I'm trying to be slow in my changes to figure out what my skin actually needs.
HI! I'm The Debbie😁I also do the same with lotion😆As soon as I dry off in the shower, it's lotion time. I actually put the HA on while in the shower. Then the last thing I dry, is my face and immediately go with toner, serum, moisturizer! No time to waste. Cuz I don't want my body to dry out while doing my face, and don't want my face to dry out before I can lock all that good steam moisture in😆😂🤣
I might just directly moisturize my body with a retinol body cream than towel it all off after a shower. The retinol itself might keep me more consistent since I've had great results with tretinoin for my face.
@@debbie_LJ thank you, Debbie!
@Florakinz I know it's not recommended, but I squeezed 1/2 a tube of my .025 tretinoin in some body lotion, and use that every other day. I have/had so many sunspots (I'm older, before wearing sunscreen was a thing😉) They are VERY light now. I have to be even more careful in the sun though because my super white skin was reactive to the sun before I used tret lotion🥴
I’m stuck on the “IF it’s a shower day for me” 😭😭😅 likeee
I was like you at first. I didn't like the hyaluronic acid at first and so it's been sitting around for months. Well recently I have been interested in getting back into skincare and was watching another UA-camr explain how you are supposed to use it, with water on your face. So I pulled out the hyaluronic acid that I had sitting around and gave it a try again and this time it has been doing wonders for my skin. I've always struggled with the blackish/purple acne scars(I'm a dark skin woman) but that has helped clear them up as well as keep my skin moisturized the entire day and keep acne breakouts to a minimum. I have oily skin as well and it works so good when other products make it worse.
You look beautiful! Your hair and skin look amazing! ❤
When I first started learning basic skincare stuff I bought 3 bottles of TO HA- and I have 2 there that are waiting to be used since everyone was like- JUMP SHIP. Hoping they are still useable- gonna try using them as the first step in my routine using my steamer at night then!!
Try it right after you wash your face IN the shower and let it soak up all that goodness. It's how I first started this. I had a Good Molecules HA and I was like, how can I use this? Boom 💥 an idea was born💗🦋💗🦋 (even if it's expired, it'll likely still do something)
@@debbie_LJ Thanks so much! I’ll try that out too then! 😁
You should really try the Blanc Doux Oligo Hyaluronic Acid UVA UVB Sun Essence Airy Touch! I actually like it just as much, if not more, than the IsNTree sunscreen. I never hear anyone talk about this brand and it definitely deserves a shout out.
Your hair looks gorgeous!!
I love this idea. My only question would be for layering. Wouldn't Vit C need to go on before HA? What about retinols?
I do this! I have a HA moisturizer, I follow up with a spray and then sunscreen 😊
Hi Cassandra! Thank you for your wonderful videos 😭🙌😍 Can you make a video on how to keep skincare and makeup hygienic? I've been getting small styes on my eyes which has gotten me thinking about the best ways to keep my routine hygenic. For example: do you wash/dry your hands between each skincare step? thoughts on beauty blender? Etc.
The little spoons that come with some products. I think they also have little sppons at Sephora or Ulta, I can't remember which. To keep you from putting fingers in creams and such. Also, clean your makeup brushes and sponges! I use my micellar water (cuz I bought it, and don't use it on my face anymore) works very well!
I'm in my 40's and holy crap, why didn't anyone tell me my skin was going to be the Sahara. I had to test quite a few products to find a skincare routine that agreed with me and Hyaluronic Acid was a huge problem. It had the opposite effect so I quit using it. But I'll definitely try this method. P.s. your hair looks great .
I use it as soon as I wash my face! I prefer the sticky ones, because I have it on the whole shower just stucking in all that steam and moisture! The last thing I dry is my face. BTW, I'm THE Debbie 😁💗🦋💗🦋I was using Cos De Baha (so inexpensive and it works well.💗🦋💗🦋Good luck!
Just wait till you are 50. 🙄
Acne and Dry skin..good times!
OMG thanks for that advice, start to using it as soon as i hit the shower!
@Catherine Greer I am almost 60! I know! Thank you Cassandra Bankson and the Discord💗💗💗
If HA did the opposite for you it's probably because you did not moisturize well after applying it. Dr Dray explained that very well in her videos alongside the right after the shower application method. That's why she's one of the best here.
Hi cassandra 1st of all tysm to teach me how to look after my skin I started retinol and the results are amazing I always struggle breakouts on and off my skin was dull and texture wasn't smooth but after using retinol I cant tell u how happy I am because of u🥰 I found ur channel recently and almost watch all of ur videos I have request can u plz explain about cerave products like sa cleanser, moisturiser lotion with spf 50, there retinol and all I would be so great full because I never found out in my 30 years of life that what is good for my skin I have combination skin and had pretty bad acne in my teens but now it's just on and off breakouts lots of love for u from UK
I started trying a hyaluronic acid alternative called the Super Saturated Barrier Support Serum by Experiment. It’s got 30% glycerin. I alternate between that and Vichy Mineral 89 booster serum, putting them on while I’m still in the steamy bathroom post shower - and I spray the Beekman 1802 Mill Shake over the top. So goooooood. 🥰
glycerin is so much better than HA
I am desperate to get my hands on that since I saw James Welsh talk about. Can’t get it in the UK & shipping/customers fees/taxes are killers 😢. I just found out I’m going back home to Iowa in late Autumn and on my must do list is buy Experiment. I adore glycerin. I’ve never heard of Beekman, will have to google.
One question (which I’m going to post also) is how applying in/just out of the shower changes a routine. I use a lot of Korean and Japanese products and I start with a toner, then several essences and only then serums, which is where hyaluronic acid would come in (if I used it). So how does your routine ‘go’? I hope you know what I mean. BTW great you have things that really work for you ✌🏼
Thank you! I am looking for good alternatives too. HA is everywhere 😢
So happy I have a dedicated video to now link people who tell me I'm wasting hyaluronic acid by applying it pre shower (I apply mine about 5-10mins before getting in the shower) also agree about The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronic for this application process, I've also found Good Molecules even better (same watery consistency) and even more-so Go-To Much Plumper Skin which is god tier for this application process. I do apply a hyaluronic serum again in my after shower routine but that's just to get multiple weights and like why not.
I learned from Dr. Dray to apply my hydrator and moisturizers to wet skin. I got the rovecton ACTIVATING TREATMENT LOTION... once again recommended by Dr. Dray. It has 7 forms of HA. On my wet skin, I use my HA, moisturizer and if it is night, my tretinoin and the BARRIER REPAIR MULTI OIL FOR FACE & BODY on top of everything.
I am so sad that I missed the live chat😔I use it IN the shower as soon as my face is washed. I put it on. Finish up my shower and continue with life! Love ya 💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋Right now I'm using The Lab Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Ampule, a gift from one @Cassandra Bankson😁🥰😁🥰💗😔💗🦋
Your hair looks amazing 😍🤩
You can do the same thing on your body and even in your hair. Hada Labo Gokujyun has large bottles of a couple of their more popular hyaluronic lotions (that’s what the Japanese call toners) and their prices are incredibly reasonable!
I put it into my wet hair too after seeing how good it was on wet skin and it's amazing, frizz free, lustrous, and makes my curls look bouncy and soft and natural.
😂 when you posted about no longer using it, I was like NOOOOOOO lol
Those HA products have glycerine, so it could be that the glycerine is doing the heavy lift long term. Since the HA can evaporate easily in the atmosphere whilw glycerin goes deeper.
I use my HA serum ONLY In my daytime routine- for re-plumping effect . I use it only on damp face. Then I always use thermal water / any water In spray form. And then put a moisturizer and sunscreen… works so well…
Hi! The shower step is really working! I really like doing that as well, it's funny because I thought I learned that from you. So you aren't using isntree Hyalauronic acid anymore? Have agreat weekend!
Hi there Cassandra … can you do a video reviewing Tonymoly skin care items please 🙏 😬I love their mochi toner and mask but I hardly see people using those items . Love your videos and your personality 😊😊
Loving your curls! 😁
1) love your hair 💕
2) I wouldn't bring mine literally inside the shower but it would be in the shower room. Something I have adopted for myself just with noticing how chemicals and routines effect me. Still damp sometimes dripping water from my skin I would put after cleansing in the shower, now out of the shower the hyaluronic acid with a heavy cream.
Then I'll tend to my hair, very important, then rush to lotion up the rest while my skin is still very damp.
The days I don't use hyaluronic acid what so ever would be days that I am going outside right away in -25 to -35°C which the ladder has happened 5 times this winter ❄️ or day where it is smokey outside from fires or +24 and up with a wind 🔆 for I don't feel the hyaluronic acid is helping me much being that there's next to no humidity during those times 🩹
Ps. I am from Canada in our dry weather and have practiced my skincare up in the mountains and also in humid Costa Rica and humid Japan.
Love yah beautiful butterflies 🦋 from your fellow acne, oily, butterfly nearing her 30's I'm glad people aren't picking on skin conditions as much in the job market! R.I.P younger me, things do get better and there IS a group of people out there similar to you 💕🌱
That’s how I have been using my HA ever since!
Hey Cassandra! Just wanted to ask if you ever saw the new skincare line from MAC? I was honestly surprised how good it is considering they are mostly a makeup brand
Hello Cassandra, can you do a video about Epiduo?? It seems to be the only product that works for my acne even though it started irritating my face after 7 months of using it.
I use hylauranic acid and a light moisturizer over it literally every time I get my face wet. I do usually wait a bit before moving on with my regular skincare routine. I also mist and apply it again right before bed. I'm 53 and my skin is plump and silky smooth. I don't even have crow's feet yet. I use a cheap brand. Neutrogena hydro boost. I think it's a pivotal step in my simple routine which doesn't include much else besides tretenoin and vitamin C.
