Over the past year, I've learned that basic self-care can be a privilege. I am Ukrainian. After the full-scale invasion of russia on our territory, we had to adapt to different conditions. I am now 26, but in the first half of 2022 I have aged considerably. And I notice it among my friends and relatives. Wrinkles and fine lines have become deeper, the skin is more irritated, dehydrated, and dull. Now I can take better care of my skin. At least we have water almost all the time. And the electricity is turned off periodically (if there is no significant damage due to shelling). But I am lucky, many people lack this opportunity. Take care wherever you are)
Thank you so much for your comment. You have really put life into perspective with this small glimpse into your life during a time of (senseless) war. Please stay safe and take care of yourself. Prayers to you and your loved ones. 🙏
I am a dietician too and I would never recommend supplements to my patients except if they medically need it. I am the type of dietician who highly recommend to incorporate ingredients (real food) that are missing in their diet. Everything depend on the budget, the age, male, female, pregnant, breastfeeding, the weight and of course the medical record. I love Cassandra and her videos but promoting supplements to people who probably don't need it is something I don't like. It is very rare people who eat meat miss protein so I believe you know as much as me what can happen when an individual is consuming too much of macro-molecules, right?
Cassandra, you are remarkable to listen to. The information you share in such an eloquent way, is a joy to listen to. And, I am probably twice your age! So much to learn!
Your videos always seem poignant to the things that I need to hear when I need to hear them. I’ve been coping with family members having sudden illnesses recently and it has been heavy on my heart. I appreciate you speaking about stress in life and how it impacts us because it is the reminder I needed in order to set down the burdens and guilt and worry I’ve carried for months and remember to be kind to myself. Just wanted to say thank you again for all that you bring to the world and your genuine compassion and care for people is a gift.
This is the first person I’ve seen that has eczema of the ear like I do. It’s awful to deal with. I feel seen. Thank you for sharing your brother’s photo
You are definitely not alone. A lot of us deal with it and it’s just not talked about a lot. You are definitely seen and it really is terrible to deal with! Have you found anything to help it?
@@jordynsiera I have found a significant difference in how severe my eczema gets based on what I’m eating. It used to be covering my entire ear and scalp by my ears. Now it’s only in my ear canal and one side of my scalp. I cut out a lot of foods (red meats, dairy, overly sugary foods), and also started using more natural hair products as well as sleeping on a satin pillowcase. It’s helped a ton for me. I used to have to put cortisone 10 on my ears just for the pain and itchiness to pause for a bit
I love you Cassandra but everytime I watch a new video it’s like new products that you recommend which is good and I get it you need to explore a lot but I’m just like agh it’s overwhelming. But keep doing what your doing living your video regardless ❤
I got my blood drawn every 6 months with my doc as she makes sure my levels are good. Only deficiency I have is Vitamin D & B12, but do wanna keep up helping my skin barrier from the inside out
Thank you for this wonderful content! I am very happy with the skin barrier issue being on the rise and being one of the "hot topics" of this year 2023. Has anyone who has used Shiseido Ultimune felt a significant difference in this regard? I started using it now
Do you have a simple humidifier in your home during winter/ cold weather? Keep the indoor air moist. I refill it daily with bottled spring water (never “X-estlé”).
Hey, Cass, I'm curious about why you think Vaseline isn't vegan or cruelty free.... I should clarify for anyone else: petroleum jelly is a byproduct of processing crude oil, and there's no animal products in it. It being called "jelly" doesn't mean there's gelatin in it. As for cruelty free, Vaseline's parent company Unilever hasn't tested on animals since the 1980's.
If you have textured looking skin it can be a damaged skin barrier! For years I have actually had a damaged skin barrier and I kept exfoliating and further destroying my skin just keep it simple no exfoliating products!
When you can’t have paprica/bell pepper/tomatoes due to Rosacea, same with citrus, and my body and skin doesn’t like vitamin C. And being depressed (chronic stress) doesn’t help nor does my Alopecia or allergies/food intolerances.
Just started watching your videos and have a very similar skin type to you. I’ve purchased some of the products you recommended, and the difference has been astounding. ❤
i've been super about the elf woah glow sunscreen/primer (spf 30). it's really lightweight but not drying for my sahara desert skin. as for reapplying, i usually wear makeup so i found an spf 30 setting spray from coola (the bottle sucks but i just transferred it to a little spray bottle and haven't had any problems). the coola setting spray is INCREDIBLE. i used it for five straight days in mid-september at a music festival and then disneyland and didn't get sunburned at all. highly recommend
So I was wondering about the soon jung 2× barrier cream? I also use sunday riley ice ceremide cream. My barrier was completely compromised after someone over exfoliating my face. I'm I'm school for esthetics lol..
Hello cassandra I was wondering if u could recommend some cleansing balms for sensitive and dry skin I don't know much about my skin since my parents don't let me see a dermatologist but all I know is that I have dry and sensitive skin
Enjoying learning lots from your videos! Curious if you’ve reviewed the skincare brand ITK by Brooklyn and Bailey McKnight yet, or if you’ve heard of it!
Would you review Earth Harbor skincare? I'm intrigued by this brand and their business model but I don't understand how they get their colors and scents. Thanks!
Awesome timing! My skin is going through it. I upped my tretinoin strength and 😩 everything stings. Stratia Liquid Gold is amazing. Have you considered reviewing Stratia line? They are cruelty free.
I checked the price of aloe gorgeous in a Polish online store. At foreign auctions it costs about 40 dollars, and in Poland about 160. And this product doesn't come from polish warehouses! Thats crazy :o. Its time to order this product from abroad :D
Love this video Cassandra! Just wanted to shout out SKYN Iceland! THE ENTIRE BRAND is formulated for stressed skin. I know you love the microneedle patches, but you GOTTA try the Pure Cloud Cream! It's bouncy and fluffy, and formulated for post facial treatments. 😎 Love watching you! ❤️❤️❤️
i love medature but it is so expensive for very little product. i've repurchased multiple times because it works beautifully with my combo skin, but i just can't afford to keep doing it. i have sensitive reactive skin, so i'm scared to try other moisturizers because my chin area especially gets clogged and small bumps that are so damn hard to treat keep appearing.
My skin is extremely dry and no matter what moisturizer I try it’s not good enough to get the job done. I tried the ceramedics but I wasn’t a fan of it. I didn’t like how tick it was and I had to rub it in hands to be able to apply on my face and it still wasn’t hydrating enough
Hey so i don't know if this will help you but here is what i do as someone with dry skin. I apply the cosrx snail mucin to my face and body, then apply my body lotion and face cream then i seal it in with a thin layer of some petrolleum jelly.
i’m so surprised everyone doesn’t use a humidifier! i have pretty bad allergies and when it’s dry, my throat is constantly sore. i wonder if that’s why i have nice skin…
I am trying to find another Hyaluronic Acid to use. I currently use The Ordinary. It pills up. But i cant use fragrance and im oily. i also try to use simple ingredients. Do you have another one you could recommend?
I do enjoy using wellage real hyaluronic ampoule. It doesn't feel sticky for me at two layers. It has high amounts of panthenol which helps the skin barrier. And then beta glucan. Highly recommend.
If you are looking for a dedicated HA serum and have access to Korean skincare then I’ve really liked the Cosrx Hydrium Triple Hyaluronic Moisture Ampoule, it has hyaluronic acid, glycerin and panthenol.
I love you! I’ve always loved your videos. But the protein powder clearly says vanilla flavor. This is not a dig at all. I just thought it was fun. This video is beyond educational. Thankyou.
Sun screen is actually bad. Through out the seedoils in your diet! And Stress, hmmm yes we can try to life better lifes, but the c mandates were quite stressful for alot of people, now we have other stuff that is going on. I dont know, do you just by it and with it? Do you ignore it?
Yes, but with vegan products it would not work as well or at all. Animal fat penetrate the skin better, animal cholesterol is better and only collagen from animal food is going to work
I personally don't use eye creams, but have heard good things about these: Beauty of JOSEON revive eye serue Ole Henrikson banana bright eye cream The Inkey list brighten-I eye cream Biossance Squalane+marine algae eye cream
Could review these vegan brands and see if they're worth the money: versed and truly beauty. Wanna know the details from you before make an order. Thanks acne big sis, love your videos they are so helpful
im so happy ive struggled witha damaged barrier for over a year now and what has literally made the difference over night was this simple hyloronic repair serem and then sealing it with nivea soft about a minute later to seal it in i cant bealive i went so long knowing my skin was dry and scareed to put anything on it incase it got worse the redness has went down about 30% overnight girls trust me. and make sure your drinking 2 lires of water..i could cry!
QUESTION !!!! I’ve started laser and thermo fractional facials (omg soooo amazing !) and after the thermo facial they tell you to put an HA every hour for 6h then moisture heavy (so I’m def gon try that one you showed although the inkey list night treatment has been great !). But I was wondering what else I could use instead of an HA ? The other serums I have at home are HA, niacinamide, the buffet, the argireline and the matrixyl Online they say to use a super serum or a vitamin b serum (so should I use my niacinamide ?)

I hope you will be safe - supporting Ukraine from neighbouring Romania! Slava!
I am so sorry 😢. I wish this f**king war would end very soon. Hope your country will be free and save. Sending love from Slovakia ❤
@@MopokWopok What is wrong with that guy anyway? Why can't he be happy with what he already has?
As a dietitian myself, I love and appreciate that you always mention how important nutrition is and recommend seeing a dietitian for individual care❤️

My favourite barrier product is the dermalogica phyto oil couldn't recommend it enough its pricey but lasts around 6 months using it daily
Thank you Cassandra 💕 Personally i am using *White-on cream* and it helped me a lot for remove wrinkles. Also my skin has snow glow. I like it ❤️❤️

Happy Tuesday Big Sister ❤️ hope you are thriving!
I've been binge watching your content recently. Love it😁❤
I get eczema on hands. I find baby diaper rash ointment works like a charm. Also great on bikini zone.
I just ordered centella pro-cica, sunscreen and aloe Vera moisturizer this morning i hope it works

Hey crystal, how are you doing beautiful.
Nice meeting you here
Awesome recommendations! I love how much wok you put into your videos. Thank you Cassandra!
I was just wondering about this topic so thank you! Perfect timing. I’ve started using retinol a few weeks ago, I already notice a difference.
Love your content always. Have you tried the GLOfacial Hydro-Infusion Pore-Cleansing Tool? Super curious but would love your thoughts.
If you have textured looking skin it can be a damaged skin barrier! For years I have actually had a damaged skin barrier and I kept exfoliating and further destroying my skin just keep it simple no exfoliating products!
You are beautiful, Cassandra, I am too. Everyone out there, so are you. This was amazing, in the true sense of the word.
When you can’t have paprica/bell pepper/tomatoes due to Rosacea, same with citrus, and my body and skin doesn’t like vitamin C. And being depressed (chronic stress) doesn’t help nor does my Alopecia or allergies/food intolerances.
Try the carnivore diet it's helps so much
Any opinion of oral phytoceramides? Life Extension makes one with wheat and Herbal Nutrition makes one that's rice-based?
Just started watching your videos and have a very similar skin type to you. I’ve purchased some of the products you recommended, and the difference has been astounding. ❤
i've been super about the elf woah glow sunscreen/primer (spf 30). it's really lightweight but not drying for my sahara desert skin. as for reapplying, i usually wear makeup so i found an spf 30 setting spray from coola (the bottle sucks but i just transferred it to a little spray bottle and haven't had any problems).
the coola setting spray is INCREDIBLE. i used it for five straight days in mid-september at a music festival and then disneyland and didn't get sunburned at all. highly recommend
Such a good vibe! Totally appreciate it! 🎉
So I was wondering about the soon jung 2× barrier cream? I also use sunday riley ice ceremide cream. My barrier was completely compromised after someone over exfoliating my face. I'm I'm school for esthetics lol..
Omg Cassandra you are life changer! We love you
Hello cassandra
I was wondering if u could recommend some cleansing balms for sensitive and dry skin
I don't know much about my skin since my parents don't let me see a dermatologist but all I know is that I have dry and sensitive skin
Fabulous video.. I got so much from it! (Subscribed)
Though, sadly Medature is not available in Australia.
amazing video as always cas!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
i love watching these videos
Does the Medature help to fade new surgical scars?
Enjoying learning lots from your videos! Curious if you’ve reviewed the skincare brand ITK by Brooklyn and Bailey McKnight yet, or if you’ve heard of it!
And the sponsorship disclaimer is sooo low in the description...
Would you review Earth Harbor skincare? I'm intrigued by this brand and their business model but I don't understand how they get their colors and scents. Thanks!
Wonderful video
Awesome timing! My skin is going through it. I upped my tretinoin strength and 😩 everything stings. Stratia Liquid Gold is amazing. Have you considered reviewing Stratia line? They are cruelty free.

Cassandra is a life coach now, omg! I prefer her a million times over these stupid, toxic macho manosphere gurus.
Do you have any product recommendations for blackheads for sensitive skin? Everything I try either doesn't work or I have a horrible reaction to it.
still need a rhode review!!
Love this video Cassandra! Just wanted to shout out SKYN Iceland! THE ENTIRE BRAND is formulated for stressed skin. I know you love the microneedle patches, but you GOTTA try the Pure Cloud Cream! It's bouncy and fluffy, and formulated for post facial treatments. 😎 Love watching you! ❤️❤️❤️

I GOT A GOOP AD WHILE WATCHING THIS 😂 no way
i’m so surprised everyone doesn’t use a humidifier! i have pretty bad allergies and when it’s dry, my throat is constantly sore. i wonder if that’s why i have nice skin…

I’ve always wanted to change my diet and cut off dairy. Any meal plans that fit that?
Love this video
I just love you 😭
I got milia if i use ceramide often, is that normal?
I love you! I’ve always loved your videos. But the protein powder clearly says vanilla flavor. This is not a dig at all. I just thought it was fun. This video is beyond educational. Thankyou.
should i stop all actives if i have damaged skin barrier
Unfortunately I heard Garden Life isn’t that good of a brand (the protein powder).
Sun screen is actually bad. Through out the seedoils in your diet! And Stress, hmmm yes we can try to life better lifes, but the c mandates were quite stressful for alot of people, now we have other stuff that is going on. I dont know, do you just by it and with it? Do you ignore it?
Vitamin C breaks down from heat, so if you heat the bell peppers you wont get any vitamin C from them.
can teenagers use glycolic acid toner??????
I love Hailey so much😍❤
Why?
Some ingredients you mentioned in that product are not suitable for oily skin
How does cassandra knows what I do with my skin and knows how to fix it
Yes, but with vegan products it would not work as well or at all. Animal fat penetrate the skin better, animal cholesterol is better and only collagen from animal food is going to work
But Dr. Dray says Vit. C supplements get tinkled out and it makes me a sad flutterby 😔 🧡
Any recommendations for a super pale gal with incredibly dark circles?
I personally don't use eye creams, but have heard good things about these:
Beauty of JOSEON revive eye serue
Ole Henrikson banana bright eye cream
The Inkey list brighten-I eye cream
Biossance Squalane+marine algae eye cream
I have acne rosacea I’m 52 & it’s horrible. Finding products is almost impossible
Could review these vegan brands and see if they're worth the money: versed and truly beauty. Wanna know the details from you before make an order. Thanks acne big sis, love your videos they are so helpful
Omg I totally forgot also: derma e,
Am I the only one that wants a collab of Cassandra and the budget dermatologist
Very nice
I love your videos but I’m in college, could you do an affordable version of this?
Now I'm eating an orange, thank you 🧡
Love you too Cassandra our acne Siso❤
im so happy ive struggled witha damaged barrier for over a year now and what has literally made the difference over night was this
simple hyloronic repair serem and then sealing it with nivea soft about a minute later to seal it in i cant bealive i went so long knowing my skin was dry and scareed to put anything on it incase it got worse the redness has went down about 30% overnight girls trust me. and make sure your drinking 2 lires of water..i could cry!
ilysm
I wonder what does Cassandra think about pyunkang yul
okay i will never get nice skin cause im stressed all time
QUESTION !!!!

The other serums I have at home are HA, niacinamide, the buffet, the argireline and the matrixyl
Online they say to use a super serum or a vitamin b serum (so should I use my niacinamide ?)
Is that a maelstrom or a sink hole
I mind did actually go straight to Pumpkin Spice Latte. 😂
no mention of aquaphor?
Aquaphor isn't vegan or cruelty free, unfortunately. It's a great product, but Cassandra is pretty strict on what she'll buy or test/use.
why did I think when she said psl that she would say Pakistan super league where r the Pakistani viewers lol
Hello Cassandra, I hope you are doing well! :)
In your opinion, are skin booster (biorevitalization and mesotherapy) worth it?
Thanks in advance!
denat = dehydrate. Got it.
Because of Cassandra I wear less makeup and proudly so 🤭
PLEASE DROP THE VOCAL FRYY!!!!🙄🙄🙄
eat flavonioids!!!! and c vitamin! like blueberries, grapes, colorful fruits!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Cassandra I love your videos and your energy but you talk sooooo fast 😝
Can’t Believe you’re recommending an expensive moisturizer because it’s sponsoring… smh … disappointed in you rn.
Bell peppers no delicious. They're yuck.
STOP selling products. And why ur video 12mins long?... oh yea, because u selling us products. Smh (i couldnt watch the full video) Unsubscribed.
