I used to get facials, extractions, every 8 weeks religiously. Then I went to Vietnam and got the best facial and extraction! So thorough, so satisfying, not one blackhead left behind... never experienced a facial like that in North America. So I stick to massages now and use Tretinoin. Best skin yet 👍
@@anarodriguez6601 I don't remember it being any longer than other facials I had (which has been a while so I can't even remember how long a facial is supposed to be, an hour?). I think that they spent more time on the extractions and probably less time massaging or masking for example.
Agree!!! I would get a facial every 4-8 weeks. Got a facial in the Philippines and didn’t need another for years! This was in 2019 and I’ve had 2 since then. That facial and Cassandra’s videos have changed my skin for life 😍
Facials are too expensive nowadays. I’ve learned over time how to take care of my own skin and appreciate the many skincare youtubers who’ve guided me. Skincare now feels less like a chore to something I really enjoy, more than makeup. My skin is the best it’s ever been. ❤Thank you❤
Had my first facial aged 40 at my local beauty salon - Dermalogica Pro60. 60 bucks. No products shoved down my throat. A very skilled esthetician who extracted over 30 deep blackheads and gently removed milia. I was very, very happy with the results...my skin now looks like I'm wearing makeup even though I'm not!! Absolutely worth it and I'll be moving to a cheaper hair salon, so I can save some money and put it towards a 6-8 weekly facial. FYI the massage was the shortest part of my facial! ❤
Same! I was wondering about the medical spa I recently bought a package from as the massage was by far the shortest part of my facial and was not done to help absorption of a serum, mask, or treatment.
Typically it depends on what your skin needs. If you need more extractions your Esthetician may focus on that and shorten the facial. My facials usually have about 10 minute increments for each step. If someone wants more relaxation I might cut back the other steps and increase the massage time. Depends on where you go and what you need.
I try to get a facial at least four times a year. I love facials, even more than manis or pedis. I can't always afford it but when I can, I love to treat myself this way. Going for a chemical peal for the first time in a year next month!
I was in the middle ground group of acne sufferers - enough breakouts to be extremely annoying & all too noticeable, but not severe enough that derms were of much help. Prescriptions from derms were too harsh for me. Regular monthly extraction facials from a trusted esthetician got my acne totally under control! YAY to great estheticians!! 👍
Esthetician here, you finally answered what I always wondered, if you were still in the treatment room performing facials! Lol maybe I missed it before…
I’m getting a facial again next week and I very much look forward to it. I like the way you describe the levels of taking care here in this video a lot! Thank you, Cassandra! 🫶🏻
Woo! That's an expensive facial!! 500$?! I've been getting facials for the passed 3 years every six weeks and love them, so much 🥰🥰 Not 500$ a session, love, though. 🤯 I see a fabulous woman who owns her little business. I definitely wouldn't recommend somewhere like Ulta, but that's just me and my opinion.
Cassandra, thank you so much for the continued wonderful education and information you provide! You are fantastic to watch! I love your sense of humor, your desire in wanting to know the FACTS and TRUTHS of things, your blunt honesty and most of all, your morals! So 'Thank you again for the impact you've had on my knowledge surrounding skincare, marketing, products, etc! Keep up the GREAT work, my fellow Cyster! 😊
Congratulations on hitting 2 million subscribers! I really found this video informative and would love to know more about facial treatments and what to expect..
I started getting facials about 5 months before my son's wedding. I knew my skin was a mess. I tend to be touch averse, so I asked the esth to do just my face the first time. She did. She told me I have rosacea (I know the caveat as she is not a doc). Very dry and very red skin. I kept going monthly (honest, I just planned to do it until the wedding as not to embarrass my son). But here I am 18 months later! I go every 8 weeks now. Yes, the full massage business. She is great at extractions and explaining when I f*ck up my skin becuase I put something on there I shouldn't have. She offers (mostly) a singular brand of skincare to ME, I know she has others b/c friends who go to her are on different stuff. But she doesn't push and will offer samples. Once I tell her if I don't like something. That's that. BTW, I go to the carwash once a week. Sometimes more!
May I suggest something? If you have Rosacea, you may want to consult with a dermatologist too! I have had Rosacea for over 30 years and the only things that have helped are oral tetracycline antibiotics, Rosadyn oral capsules, washing with 2% Salicylic acid cleanser and twice-yearly Laser treatments. I know some patients swear by a diet to help clear their skin, and I'm sure that works too! Diet has never had any effect on my skin though! It's mainly weather changes that make a difference.
I would love an overview of different facial services and what they will help with. I've never had a facial, and my skin is pretty good right now, but would like to know what I would look for and what would be most useful
You can ask the business you want to receive a facial from over the phone while making the appt or you can ask to have a consultation right before the facial
I recently had a PRP microneedling facial. Made a huge difference in one treatment to texture, dullness, and stubborn closed comedones that I couldn’t get rid of even with prescription strength tret. Absolutely no irritation. It accomplished in 1 hour (plus a few days of healing) what topical treatments would take months to do for me. Worth the expense.
Dear Cassandra, I really love you for your honesty ❤️ You are always saying the truth about the products you review. My entire face has transformed with your advice. The products you recommend are really great! And helped me alot. I am wearing the hidjab and it is great to see, that you include all types of people . Stay as beautiful as you are. Bye😘
I love a good facial, but they can be pricey. Especially since I don't see the point of a facial for my skin unless it comes with some kind of extra treatment: led, a peel, microderm abrasion, etc.
I love getting facials once a month, yes I notice a difference in my skin right away. Since I am a member of a spa where I go here in my hometown. I get a huge discount instead of having to pay a hefty price.
Thank you so much for this video❤ I have been to a handful of facials and I never really understood the point. It just felt relaxing which I would get from a regular body massage. Now I realise that the places I went to was not specialised for treatments. Would love to hear what sort of facials do you get. I might visit an aesthetic clinic myself.
Never had one. I turn 56 this year. Enjoy good skincare products for sure but I've never gone the extra mile I guess. My best move? I hate sunlight and stay out of the sun under all circumstances LOLOL
I feel like extractions are the safest and effective facial treatments people can get are extractions and chemical peels, especially extractions. Really skilled estheticians are REALLY good at extracting the all comedone acnes and gunk in your pores and can even deal with some cystic acnes as long as it isn't too inflamed. After the session your skin is literally baby bottom smooth and glowing!! Imagine getting that regularly on top of using adapalene or tretinoin or retinol with sunscreen regularly!! Magnifique!! Another aesthetic treatment I would recommend people to get are body massages, espcially scalp and shoulder+neck massages. It really relaxs the muscles there and helps with blood circulation which really helps with your overall complexion.
I love going for the spa experience facial, love getting an upper back, neck, head and face massage with a little moisturising facial. I go for the relaxation, thanks to you I now have a really effective skin care routine that is really improving my skin. If I lived in America I would love to get a facial and specialist treatments from you 😍
I got my first facial over the weekend and it was an amazing experience. My skin is pretty healthy, so I won’t need another one for awhile, but I did pick up some face reality products while I was there and I really have been loving them.
I used to get facials including micro dermabrasion that were fairly expensive when I had acne. After accutane I'm acne free and now I'm all about the home treatments using LED and microneedling. My devices paid for themselves on the first use with what I saved versus had I gone to an esthetician.
I hate facials, Evetytime my skin just stings and ends up messing with my skins natural barrier. I did a NVQ in beauty and it really put me off. I've become a expert on my skin and these amazing videos by cassandra are amazing, Very grounded and honest and about beauty for everyone and the health of the skin. I love home gadgets and first started on a very low budget with a cheap redlight mask and used green tea abd had amazing results. Also I developed Acne when I was 28 after never having a single spot and it was psychologically hard and I didn't want to face people. Thankfully it went away but the skin we live in does make a difference how we feel in the world. I've had body dysmorphia to so it's been a journey. Anyway these videos are honest and I love cassandras energy and quirky fun personality. Here in Essex uk beauty is very plastic and fake looking but beauty is definitely glows from inside beautiful kind caring people.
I think getting facials is great for education I help so many people I’m only 10% of the work but I genuinely see the difference in people’s skin when they try. I’m not a miracle worker but I think I’m a great asset. Also things like dermal infusion I’ve seen such improvement in the skin
While I love a good facial at $100-125+ in my area I would rather save up the money to do a treatment instead. Tomorrow doing my second Morpheous 8 with PRF which is stated to better than the PFP. It's a fantastic treatment albeit expensive.
I have been thinking about going for 1 facial a month just to pamper myself and get a nice massage and come out with glowing skin and relaxed facial muscles.
I got a face spatula for extractions and it has been a lot more gentle on my skin than the extractions I get during facials. That and good active ingredients are my best friends
I start watching Dr. Youn, then Dr. Dray, now You❤ and Dr Gary and add to the list the Budget Dermatologist ❤ you people help me to be a Skintellctual ❤
I love a great facial!! ❤❤ What I don't like is Ulta. I refuse to give them my business-the Ulta stores by me staff their stores with vendors that push their brands on you. Then you get to stand in line to pay for your purchases for what seems like forever because the one Ulta staff member is the cashier. Team Sephora. Great product and excellent service!
I’ve never had a facial done. I really want to have a facial, but I can’t see spending the money on it. If I can find a really good facial for under $50, then I’ll be good 😊
I've never been a spa kinda girl. Part of it is the money, but also my mom didn't do that kind of thing. She did a daily face care routine, but not really any extras.
There is new neutrogena skin that came up. Please please make a review about it! The neutrogena hydro boost+ glycolic acid overnight peel and the Niacinamide serum. Please please please 🙏
Can we have a video about pulse light therapy and others like that for all different conditions (especially for rosacea). What are they, how they work, and how to choose them? I have been considering to get something like it but no idea based on what to choose…
Thanks for the video, Cassandra! I have very dry, sensitive skin with rosacea, so my dermatologist advised me many years ago not to have facials. And I'm skeptical about the value of salon treatments from an aesthetician. (Sorry, Cassandra!) So, I don't get them. My dermatologist says I have great skin for my age, which I attribute to sunscreen use and heredity. I also don't use rollers, gua sha tools, or any type of skin care gadgets such as red light. I'm also skeptical of the value of these. For those who chose differently, OK, it's your money and your skin. But...listen to Cassandra and be an informed consumer. Be critical of claims for these items. But, before the pandemic, I did get regular full body massages.
Dear Cassandra could you please listen to Lipstick on the Rim podcast with Renee Rouleau talking how there are 30 skin types! It's so interesting and I would love ur thoughts on it
I take really good care of my skin and don’t really need any help but I decided to get a “treatment” facial and I told the girl my skin is sensitive, dry and acne prone… is this safe?She was like oh yes it’s great!…omg it was so awful and rough on my poor face. She even got some product in my eye that burned so bad. On top of it, I found out this was her first time administering this treatment 🤦♀️ So my advice is it’s generally not worth it unless it’s a very specific treatment for your skin issue. Even then, do your due diligence and make sure you know who you’re going to, ask how long they’ve been doing this and see if they’re super pushy or helpful and kind. At least you can walk out before you get your skin into an unfortunate situation!
I've just bought a cream after a facial at my local esthetician... the facial was good but the product she made me buy is awful 😖 70 euros for a cream that makes my skin itchy and uncomfortable wtf...
It's a no for me...doesn't do much, too expensive with upkeep, advanced facials only made things worse. Also it's rly hard to find rly good estheticians. They don't know anything outside the box.
Hi Cassandra! First I’d like to thank you for your work, you’re brilliant skintelectual! I’m so glad I found your videos! I live in Brazil which is very hot and humid and my skin is very oily but not acne prone. The only product, I’ve used my entire life, that helped to take away the oil and shine of my face was clean & clear essentials deep cleaning astringent and hydrating. I’ve also used lá roche posay and Vichy for oily skin but it doesn’t leave my skin fresh and oil free as the clean clear line. Now Johnson stoped producing it and I’m desperate!!! Could you suggest me some astringent that would leave my face skin refreshed and oil free like the clean & clear essentials deep cleaning astringent did, please?! Can you give a help on that? I’ve bought the ordinary’s glycolic toning solution but it didn’t give me the result I expected…
Th most I’ve spent on a facial is 200 and that was for a hydra facial. But I saw the gunk jaw and I barely had anything in there so it isn’t something I’ll get regular but maybe before special events. I’ll stick with my 100 microdermabrasion facial.
Hello, I am thinking of doing a hydrafacial. But is it actually worth the money? It's mostly for some blackheads or other impurities but does it actually work that well? Please let me know 🙂
@@lottedecock1503 everyone will have different results depending on your skin type. If you have oily and blackheads and lots of pores then yes!! Definitely do it. While I have oily skin, I don’t have much open pores and I have a steady face routine so not much gunk was taken out. But my skin was left feeling fresh and glowly and it still looks super clean 2 weeks later. So give it a go at least once to see if it fits u. But if u have active breakouts do a add on for manual extractions cause the machine doesn’t pop pimples.
I got a handful of glycolic acid peels before my wedding. I noticed zero difference. I imagine it was the strength I could have bought for home use. I knew nothing of skincare at the time. What would have been wiser would have been to go to a derm and get tretinoin and spironolactone for my acne (which I am on now).
I've gone to schools for facials. Some good, some bad. One school I went to had a GREAT instructor. She came into the session and, having discovered I had a headache, fit a finger on my forehead (?Reike, maybe?), And the headache magically disappeared. Never had as good a facial as that one.
I Search your channel and I have a suggestion for a video is what sun screen should someone who has Eczema and should you wear sun screen if you have eczema. Don’t feel like having to do this video or replay just I question this is something I would like to know to when I buy sun screen.
I just received my first consult on a few dark spots (the esthetician believes it may be melasma). This location primarily sells Zo Skin Health. Would you put that brand in the “good” category? I also purchased the Elta MD SPF there.
i am an esthetician and i love zo skin. it is an amazing brand with a great philosophy, but again it isn’t for everyone. I would start out by trying their kit first :)
I've been wanting to see a video like this from you because I think I have had a bad facialist before. She left me for like 20-30 minutes when I fell asleep. My first facialist stayed with me the whole time. So, is it normal for them to leave for half the time? Is it just me ... when I pay for 60 minutes, then I want 60 minutes?
Usually it is the standard today that if you have mask on then during that time they do arm massage with cream or in some places head or neck-shoulders massage. It is not a good practice to leave a room during facial. At least where I live. But definetely there are different kind of places.
hi cassandra, I have box scars and rolling scars and have started getting chemical peels. I had the first session of sal acid peel 3 weeks ago and although i see much improvement in my acne, i cant say the same for the scarring. Do chemical peels actually work on the scars?
Hi, I’m not Cassandra but I am an esthetician. If your primary concern is acne, then i would do chemical peels, acne facials, and/or visit a dermatologist for oral or prescribed medication. After you get the acne under control, I would start doing microneedling for the texture and scarring. Deeps peels like VIpeels will help a little with texture but not like microneedling can in my experience. I like deep peels for acne, sunspots, hyperpigmentation. Microneedling is better for texture, scarring, and building collagen. There are different lasers that can help with scarring too. Resurfx, cool peels, co2, etc. Hope that helps!
@@lanivetroldan9906 I forgot to mention i have cystic acne for 9 years, I was on isotretinion for 3 months and now on peels so looks my derm is probably following the line of treatment you suggest here😊Thank you
This video already explained how to search for topics she’s already covered. 4 years ago the was a video “the ordinary founder died” which might have what you’re looking for. 😣
If your facial is that much and not that good, that’ll be a bummer. But hopefully the high price goes with good quality. I spend thousands of dollars on my continued education, and my higher price tag reflects my value. But have a great time!!!! I hope you love it❤❤
@jmszoom haha yeah I'm excited to have it done, I have milia so I got a European facial and extractions. I'm hoping they'll be able to help me figure out what I can do to prevent/get rid of milia, I'm so self conscious about them. I don't really know what to expect since it's my first facial, so i hope I don't feel like I wasted money🤣 I don't feel like my expectations are too high...I guess we'll see🤣 The facial does include a neck, arm, and upper back massage as well. So im hoping it's relaxing.
@@AKbaby89 it will be worth it either way because you deserve it! A facial won’t usually be life-changing. The education may be, though, so ask lots of questions. You are paying for touch, products, and knowledge. If it’s around the eyes go to a dermatologist, as most estheticians won’t and legally can’t extract them from the sensitive ocular skin. I got rid of my eye milia with actives, salicylic (stridex pads) & glycolic acid toner. Not daily, twice a week at night, avoid your eyes as much as possible (maybe use a q-tip). And covered with a light layer of cosrx snail mucin as a gentle eye moisturizer. Gone in 2-3 weeks for me and never had to do it again. No popping! Leave that go the professionals.
@@dcooper1115 interesting, thank you! I've had one on one of my eye lids for months now, but most of them are in my t zone. Thanks for all the info! 🙌❤️
@@AKbaby89 you’re going to love it lol it just feels so good to have someone rub and manipulate your face. A lot of health benefits to touch alone. 🥰 Milia needs hydration to allow the skin to regenerate properly; milia hardened keratin and sebum- why you can’t extract them. Hopefully they can extract them, and then point you in the right direction to help prevent them. But try to give your skin more moisture. PS. Don’t be self conscious! That is not what people are looking at. We notice our own “flaws”, which undoubtedly aren’t flaws, and no one sees them like we do, human nature. You have found a great community.
in general eat less, in particuar much less of carbs, increase daily activity - at leat one hour of exercise, in the beginning it could be a walk but at pace

I think getting facials is great for education I help so many people I’m only 10% of the work but I genuinely see the difference in people’s skin when they try. I’m not a miracle worker but I think I’m a great asset. Also things like dermal infusion I’ve seen such improvement in the skin
Your hair is looking great Cassandra!!!
I’ve gotten a facial once. She said I had fantastic skin so I don’t see me needed one again. Yes I WANT one again cause it felt great!
Girllll you from The Bay?! I KNEW IT! That Bay Vibe.
Thanks for keeping it real.
While I love a good facial at $100-125+ in my area I would rather save up the money to do a treatment instead. Tomorrow doing my second Morpheous 8 with PRF which is stated to better than the PFP. It's a fantastic treatment albeit expensive.
Thank you so much for making this video Cassandra. I’ve been contemplating on getting one for so long and I’m not sure.
I have been thinking about going for 1 facial a month just to pamper myself and get a nice massage and come out with glowing skin and relaxed facial muscles.
I can’t believe I got a L’Oréal Telescopic Mascara ad before the vid 😂
I got a face spatula for extractions and it has been a lot more gentle on my skin than the extractions I get during facials. That and good active ingredients are my best friends
I start watching Dr. Youn, then Dr. Dray, now You❤ and Dr Gary and add to the list the Budget Dermatologist ❤ you people help me to be a Skintellctual ❤
I love a great facial!! ❤❤ What I don't like is Ulta. I refuse to give them my business-the Ulta stores by me staff their stores with vendors that push their brands on you. Then you get to stand in line to pay for your purchases for what seems like forever because the one Ulta staff member is the cashier. Team Sephora. Great product and excellent service!
I love deep clean extraction facial every few months, amazing to my skin and products absorb better!
I do my own skincare and my own facials. I use my old milady books from beauty school to help me do my techniques better on myself.
how do i know which facial is best for me? can you explain different types of facials in depth for different skin types/concerns?
I’ve never had a facial done. I really want to have a facial, but I can’t see spending the money on it. If I can find a really good facial for under $50, then I’ll be good 😊
Hi Cassandra!
Can you please make a video about skin care in Europe?
What are the best and the worst products there?
Where in Europe are you?
@@graceelizabeth130 Germany
Cass, would you be so kind to do a video about oxygen facials (oxygeneo and intraceuticals) or facials like jet peel, hydratacial or similar? Thanks
I love your videos 💕 I work in a clinic and this is great advice
On my side facial cost $300 for hydrafacial but antiaging and acne treatment is around $110 which i do it every two month
I use to go for facials. Not anymore. I can do my own stuff at home now. At the spa like setting facial, I would always get pimples after.
Is the gua sha worth it??? Hmm
I've never been a spa kinda girl. Part of it is the money, but also my mom didn't do that kind of thing. She did a daily face care routine, but not really any extras.
There is new neutrogena skin that came up. Please please make a review about it! The neutrogena hydro boost+ glycolic acid overnight peel and the Niacinamide serum. Please please please 🙏
Can we have a video about pulse light therapy and others like that for all different conditions (especially for rosacea). What are they, how they work, and how to choose them? I have been considering to get something like it but no idea based on what to choose…
Thanks for the video, Cassandra! I have very dry, sensitive skin with rosacea, so my dermatologist advised me many years ago not to have facials. And I'm skeptical about the value of salon treatments from an aesthetician. (Sorry, Cassandra!) So, I don't get them.
My dermatologist says I have great skin for my age, which I attribute to sunscreen use and heredity.
I also don't use rollers, gua sha tools, or any type of skin care gadgets such as red light. I'm also skeptical of the value of these. For those who chose differently, OK, it's your money and your skin. But...listen to Cassandra and be an informed consumer. Be critical of claims for these items.
But, before the pandemic, I did get regular full body massages.
Dear Cassandra could you please listen to Lipstick on the Rim podcast with Renee Rouleau talking how there are 30 skin types! It's so interesting and I would love ur thoughts on it
30?! now that just sounds overwhelming...
@@frankie9953 yeah it's a lot, that's why I would love to find what others in the industry think about it :))
Can you do a review on the IL Makiage exfoliator?
I take really good care of my skin and don’t really need any help but I decided to get a “treatment” facial and I told the girl my skin is sensitive, dry and acne prone… is this safe?She was like oh yes it’s great!…omg it was so awful and rough on my poor face. She even got some product in my eye that burned so bad. On top of it, I found out this was her first time administering this treatment 🤦♀️
So my advice is it’s generally not worth it unless it’s a very specific treatment for your skin issue. Even then, do your due diligence and make sure you know who you’re going to, ask how long they’ve been doing this and see if they’re super pushy or helpful and kind. At least you can walk out before you get your skin into an unfortunate situation!
It’s good to note that not ALL facials include a facial massage. This is called a European style facial.
I've just bought a cream after a facial at my local esthetician... the facial was good but the product she made me buy is awful 😖 70 euros for a cream that makes my skin itchy and uncomfortable wtf...
It's a no for me...doesn't do much, too expensive with upkeep, advanced facials only made things worse. Also it's rly hard to find rly good estheticians. They don't know anything outside the box.
I’d love to get all the treatments too 🤣
Cass please.. I NEED the video where you have explained tbe history of DECIEM.. For research purpose.. I can't find it at all 🥺
I am the polar opposite of Cass when it comes to touch. I am extremely touch averse. I got into some really bad arguments over people touching me.
Cassandra, can you please do a MALIN+GOETZ line review. Love your content by the way. ❤️
Their lip balm is one of my favorites!
For me worth only for the extraction. But need to find a good professional to do that
Hi Cassandra! First I’d like to thank you for your work, you’re brilliant skintelectual! I’m so glad I found your videos! I live in Brazil which is very hot and humid and my skin is very oily but not acne prone. The only product, I’ve used my entire life, that helped to take away the oil and shine of my face was clean & clear essentials deep cleaning astringent and hydrating. I’ve also used lá roche posay and Vichy for oily skin but it doesn’t leave my skin fresh and oil free as the clean clear line. Now Johnson stoped producing it and I’m desperate!!! Could you suggest me some astringent that would leave my face skin refreshed and oil free like the clean & clear essentials deep cleaning astringent did, please?! Can you give a help on that? I’ve bought the ordinary’s glycolic toning solution but it didn’t give me the result I expected…
After following you, every time I buy a new product I hear your voice in mind saying skintellectual 😂😂I hope Cassandra proud of my decision 😂😂❤
Th most I’ve spent on a facial is 200 and that was for a hydra facial. But I saw the gunk jaw and I barely had anything in there so it isn’t something I’ll get regular but maybe before special events. I’ll stick with my 100 microdermabrasion facial.
Hello, I am thinking of doing a hydrafacial. But is it actually worth the money? It's mostly for some blackheads or other impurities but does it actually work that well? Please let me know 🙂
@@lottedecock1503 everyone will have different results depending on your skin type. If you have oily and blackheads and lots of pores then yes!! Definitely do it.
While I have oily skin, I don’t have much open pores and I have a steady face routine so not much gunk was taken out. But my skin was left feeling fresh and glowly and it still looks super clean 2 weeks later. So give it a go at least once to see if it fits u. But if u have active breakouts do a add on for manual extractions cause the machine doesn’t pop pimples.
I got a handful of glycolic acid peels before my wedding. I noticed zero difference. I imagine it was the strength I could have bought for home use. I knew nothing of skincare at the time. What would have been wiser would have been to go to a derm and get tretinoin and spironolactone for my acne (which I am on now).
never had a facial, always wanted one
Yassssssss FACTS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've always wanted to get a facial, but I'm so afraid. My skin is so reactive, and it takes weeks to heal.
hi queen, do u think its bad my makeup cleansing oil has sesame in it?(I have acne)
Could you do a deep dive on LilyAna Naturals and test some of the products out? They have a sunscreen that is fairly new.
I've gone to schools for facials. Some good, some bad. One school I went to had a GREAT instructor. She came into the session and, having discovered I had a headache, fit a finger on my forehead (?Reike, maybe?), And the headache magically disappeared.
Never had as good a facial as that one.
Great advice. This question has nothing to do with facial. I got mosquito bites on my face. What repellent is safe to use on my face??😢😢
I tried facial peels but I feel it isn’t working for me. I’m going to give it another chance, but I was thinking about trying facial wax too~
I m 36 my skin is good I don't need facial waste of money I like skin care routine
I Search your channel and I have a suggestion for a video is what sun screen should someone who has Eczema and should you wear sun screen if you have eczema. Don’t feel like having to do this video or replay just I question this is something I would like to know to when I buy sun screen.
Agree
It’s best to do home can you give me some tips for skin tightening thanks
skincuticals...worth the high price tag or nay?
What’s your opinion on Hydrafacials? I don’t see a video on this on your channel.
I want to know your honest opinions on image skincare Casandra
I much prefer to fork out on a great dermatologist rather than pay for a facial in a spa for over 100 euros.
Can you pls look into dr youns (he is a youtubing surgeon) line of skin care?
Came here by searching Cassandra Bankson Facials 😂
I just received my first consult on a few dark spots (the esthetician believes it may be melasma). This location primarily sells Zo Skin Health. Would you put that brand in the “good” category? I also purchased the Elta MD SPF there.
I love Elta MD sunscreen, but find ZO is way too harsh for my skin. Not a fan
i am an esthetician and i love zo skin. it is an amazing brand with a great philosophy, but again it isn’t for everyone. I would start out by trying their kit first :)
I've been wanting to see a video like this from you because I think I have had a bad facialist before. She left me for like 20-30 minutes when I fell asleep. My first facialist stayed with me the whole time. So, is it normal for them to leave for half the time? Is it just me ... when I pay for 60 minutes, then I want 60 minutes?
Usually it is the standard today that if you have mask on then during that time they do arm massage with cream or in some places head or neck-shoulders massage. It is not a good practice to leave a room during facial. At least where I live. But definetely there are different kind of places.
hi cassandra, I have box scars and rolling scars and have started getting chemical peels. I had the first session of sal acid peel 3 weeks ago and although i see much improvement in my acne, i cant say the same for the scarring. Do chemical peels actually work on the scars?
Hi, I’m not Cassandra but I am an esthetician. If your primary concern is acne, then i would do chemical peels, acne facials, and/or visit a dermatologist for oral or prescribed medication. After you get the acne under control, I would start doing microneedling for the texture and scarring. Deeps peels like VIpeels will help a little with texture but not like microneedling can in my experience. I like deep peels for acne, sunspots, hyperpigmentation. Microneedling is better for texture, scarring, and building collagen. There are different lasers that can help with scarring too. Resurfx, cool peels, co2, etc. Hope that helps!
@@lanivetroldan9906 I forgot to mention i have cystic acne for 9 years, I was on isotretinion for 3 months and now on peels so looks my derm is probably following the line of treatment you suggest here😊Thank you
Guys please... HELP!!! 🤯
. I NEED the video where Cassandra has explained tbe history of DECIEM.. For research purpose.. I can't find it at all 🥺
This video already explained how to search for topics she’s already covered. 4 years ago the was a video “the ordinary founder died” which might have what you’re looking for. 😣
Haha I'm having my first facial on March 3rd, and im paying $150+ tip. So I hope it's worth it🤣🤣
If your facial is that much and not that good, that’ll be a bummer. But hopefully the high price goes with good quality. I spend thousands of dollars on my continued education, and my higher price tag reflects my value.
But have a great time!!!! I hope you love it❤❤
@jmszoom haha yeah I'm excited to have it done, I have milia so I got a European facial and extractions. I'm hoping they'll be able to help me figure out what I can do to prevent/get rid of milia, I'm so self conscious about them. I don't really know what to expect since it's my first facial, so i hope I don't feel like I wasted money🤣 I don't feel like my expectations are too high...I guess we'll see🤣
The facial does include a neck, arm, and upper back massage as well. So im hoping it's relaxing.
@@AKbaby89 it will be worth it either way because you deserve it! A facial won’t usually be life-changing. The education may be, though, so ask lots of questions. You are paying for touch, products, and knowledge. If it’s around the eyes go to a dermatologist, as most estheticians won’t and legally can’t extract them from the sensitive ocular skin. I got rid of my eye milia with actives, salicylic (stridex pads) & glycolic acid toner. Not daily, twice a week at night, avoid your eyes as much as possible (maybe use a q-tip). And covered with a light layer of cosrx snail mucin as a gentle eye moisturizer. Gone in 2-3 weeks for me and never had to do it again. No popping! Leave that go the professionals.
@@dcooper1115 interesting, thank you! I've had one on one of my eye lids for months now, but most of them are in my t zone. Thanks for all the info! 🙌❤️
@@AKbaby89 you’re going to love it lol it just feels so good to have someone rub and manipulate your face. A lot of health benefits to touch alone. 🥰 Milia needs hydration to allow the skin to regenerate properly; milia hardened keratin and sebum- why you can’t extract them. Hopefully they can extract them, and then point you in the right direction to help prevent them. But try to give your skin more moisture.
PS. Don’t be self conscious! That is not what people are looking at. We notice our own “flaws”, which undoubtedly aren’t flaws, and no one sees them like we do, human nature. You have found a great community.
Sometime feel that facials are scams. And quite expensive nowadays
why is he advising women about facials?
I want to lose weight any tips pls 🙏🙏
This is a skincare channel, but I'm sure there are plenty of fitness and nutrition advice channels out there. 😉
in general eat less, in particuar much less of carbs, increase daily activity - at leat one hour of exercise, in the beginning it could be a walk but at pace
