This was incredibly helpful. Specially the "don't fight the waves, navigate them". I'm going through a very tough time and haven't felt free in a truly long time
I have a chronic illness that means there are times I can’t get out of bed, and this is really helpful for that! Really glad to hear that you’re starting to feel better, I’m sure things will continue to improve!! ❤
Made an account just so I can comment. Girl I've been watching you since I was 13 years old, and I always come back to you for skincare advice. I'm twice that age now, and my opinion of you hasn't changed. Your personality continues to be SO authentic and refreshing, especially now in a world of beauty/skinfluencers who have zero qualms about throwing their souls away to promote any product that pays the big bucks. What you do here on YT has made SUCH a difference in my life (read: my SKIN); I seriously wouldn't have been able to get here without you. Sending you all my very best vibes 💗
This video hits home for us chronic illness babes too!! I don’t deal with depression, but I have extreme chronic fatigue and this is SO not talked about enough!!
Watched this video a couple months ago and loved the tips and shared them to my own clients….now months later I’m struggling and I’m back to remind myself of those tips. Thank you for this.
My mom passed away this year. It was so sudden and horrific that I was in denial until my dog died and I just spiraled. But my medication helped me not get completely out of control. It’s given me energy to continue my job, and do self-love like going to my esthetician and getting a massage. But it’s been so damn hard. What a fucking year.
I can’t imagine what you’ve been through but i do know you’re a strong human being to push through the motions and take care of yourself while going this big change and loss. I know I’m just a stranger on another side of a screen but i hear your struggle, and honor that you wanted to share ♥️ sending well wishes to you and your well being as you continue to grow and grieve your loved ones ❤️🩹🕊️
Not enough is said about the connection between mental health and dental health!!! When I had a severe bout of depression in 2020-2021, I had to get 7 cavities filled and my gums treated. When I went to the dentist, the dentist himself was super kind and understanding but one of the dental techs made me feel super insecure and bad about myself. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else talk about depression and teeth!!!!
Not just depression but those of us going through surgeries and or chemo ( like me) and other physical /health issues that need a routine that let's us lowly sick people still care for our skin And YES I'm the one that better help told to STOP CHEMO
Sending you the best wishes and vibrations through your journey and I’m also so sorry someone from better help tried to give you medical advice… seems very unfit of them. Take care Dani ♥️
Thank you as this is also helpful for those of us with autoimmune, chronic illness, disabilities. I have good and bad days, so this is a godsend for spoonies
I am usually a silent watcher but I have to say this. You are so incredebly strong! You help so many people boost their own confidence. I started skincare about 4 years ago because of you. I really have problems liking myself and my looks but starting skincare and actually taking care of myself made such a huge difference. So thank you Cassandra for being our skincare big sister! Much love and hugs.
Sometimes, when you’ve been sad for a while and are finally happy, it feels strange. I’ve had that happen before, and it’s really hard to get out of the mindset that you don’t deserve to be happy when you finally found happiness in your life. You get used to being sad… which sounds crazy, but I’ve had it happen to be before.
My 2022 probably was a little like your 2023. I got diagnosed with epilepsy, adhd, depression, lost 2 family members and so much more. It's the end of 2023 now & I'm still hoping I'll find medication that works for me. But I finally found a good therapist & I'm really hopeful for next year ☺️ My Hygiene & selfcare routines havent been the best for the last 2 years, but you have no idea how much you helped me find joy in skincare again!
I truly appreciate your honesty about what you're struggling with. I also have lost 2 family members on the same day this year and it's been hard. I also really appreciate thinking about those with disabilities.
You are doing so much for so many out there. Such refreshing content! Nothing about Cyber this and Black Friday that. Just genuine caring content. Thank you.❤
Girl this is so authentic. Thank you for this. I've lost two close people in my life a year ago and I felt guilty if I moved on with my life without them. I go through my day wanting to cry and I had to take a break from everything I'm still hurting 11:30
I have ADHD and autism, so skincare can be a struggle. I stuck a container to the side of my desk right beside my bed. Inside it is my tretinoan, moisturiser, toner, essential medication, micellar water, cotton pads and serum. It sounds crazy, but when you have working memory issues this is a lifesaver. It's kinda hard to forget to cleanse and apply your skincare when the bottles are right beside your head.
I manage soap and moisturiser with spf in. I don’t even try for anything else and don’t beat myself up about it. If I had all those near my bed it would be another obstacle preventing me getting out of it. Glad it works for you.
I can get out of bed pretty much everyday, but I have been going through a bad period of depression the last few months (or 30 years), and I've been struggling to take care of myself, including hygiene and skincare and stuff, so this was a great video! Thank you so much!
Wow. My heart goes out to you. I lost my brother and my dad in 2021 so I can sympathize with your losses. I’m still struggling today so it’s okay that you haven’t been the same. Sending hugs.
My husband suffers severely with depression, I’ve seen some of his lowest and hardest moments. It’s so sad. Sorry you’re through this. You’re my fave TH-cam channel, thanks for being so honest and kind.
You have healed me, with your aura, knowledge. Its sad to hear you story! You are a gem. you lift millions of people. Recognize abuse, violende, brakdown...xx
I have watched this video multiple times today. It breaks my heart that you have been through so much (and while in the public eye). It is so hard to imagine someone leaving hurtful comments to those that teach us so much and help us grow in so many ways and there must be some ugly people at there as I hear multiple influencers that they must have thick skin. Sending all the best wishes for you and please know you are the highlight of my week every week! Much Love!
Thank you so much. You truly dont know how helpful this was. As i have been depressed and completely lost myself abd let myself go in so many ways nd atop doing any skincare.
Skin care has been a coping mechanism for my depression over the pandemic. It's been a lovely way of taking care of myself as someone who has a hard time putting my needs as a priority. Your videos are so informative and your voice is very soothing, just discovered you this year!
This is truly your best video. 🦋 I’ve been in that place you’re talking about. Couldn’t get out of bed. My childhood and marriage brought me to my knees. My psychologist plus walking in nature saved my life. You are helping so many by doing this video. Depression is a lonely dark place. Love n hugs. 🥰 You always make me smile. Butterflies for you 🦋🦋🦋🦋
ive had clinical depression my whole life, just turned 20, and have never tried skincare my entire life because of how many steps it has despite wanting to. this was a lovely video to come across. ty for making this ❤️
thank you for being so open about this, cassandra :) i’ve personally dealt with MDD (major depressive disorder) and been medicated and in therapy for the past almost seven years now, been through a few hospitalizations as well. it’s definitely an ocean like you described! ups and downs. realizing i was a trans man was both beneficial and detrimental for different reasons for my mental health. it’s nice knowing where all my self loathing comes from, but it’s very frustrating to still be stuck in the wrong body. some days i can’t stand to look at myself in the mirror, so a routine i can do without being in the bathroom is incredibly helpful
You are so very valuable and worthy of care from yourself and others. I am sorry that society is in general so very ignorant regarding trans issues, gender dysphoria, and mental health concerns. There is profound ignorance and also a social regression, with much misinformation and new stigma at what has become a public shaming of trans people even by people who are very accepting of gay people, or in any case, accepting enough, or gay or lesbian themselves. It is tragic. Trans people have become a new scapegoat used, I personally believe, by political and influential very wealthy people to divert the people from thinking too much about real difficulties facing us, such as environmental deterioration, climate change, wars in progress and threatening to all of us, and more. Far easier to get people riled up about birth control and who uses what bathroom. It's tragic. My genuine care is sent your way. Stay with it. Stay with you. We all need you. xx
Appreciative that you’re willing to show pictures of your acne in the past. I try to stay away from the advice concerening acne of those who have never struggled with acne, even sometimes in the case with professionals, because there’s something about struggling with acne that you only get if you’ve seriously had to deal with it in the past.
Absolutely been having a year, oh man the hill. Thank-you for this skin care depression video I love your content, I am so sorry you are having a year 🌱 Also, I am very interested in learning more about color theroy
Being depressed most of your life gives you a sparkle about how beautiful are simple things in life (and how much you want to feel that like people who aren't depressed): to be able to be happy is the only thing depressed people wish. And to have a happy life is simple and pure somehow but so rare sadly. But Cass there is a rainbow at the end of this sadly moment, but you need time to heal and to discover little by little happy life again, like a child. Step by step with a broken heart but with amazing people who love you and the most important....medication helps you to remain on that level of normality somehow. And don't think 'oh i am waiting to stop medication and do x and y', some people will need medication all their life sadly and you need to live in a harmony with them and think there are tiny helpers for you to stay calm and have a little bit of joy. Love you all who struggle with that. You are not alone even you are thinking you are.
It does get better. I went through war, being a refugee, alcoholic father, and exploitative stepfather. I almost sank into alcohol and I needed help, but I had nobody...except myself. That little strong voice inside of me yelled "Get the fuck up soldier!" and I did. I got control of my life and I realised how strong I really am. So all of you dear people, do not give up and take care of yourself. ❤
This year has been horrible for me and my family. It's even worse than 2017. when my husband passed away from brain tumour, which took such a heavy toll on my physical and mental health. By the time he passed, I was under 50kg (173 cm in height) and I was in such a bad shape, I couldn't get out of bed to make my child dinner or lunch, for which I feel so guilty and always will feel so bad about that period in our lives. Thankfully, my parents are both here and we moved in with them. It took me two yrs to recover (and then Covid hit) That was a terrible time in my life, but this year topped it all with the loss of my only sibling and my cancer diagnosis. I wouldn't be getting out of bed if it weren't for constant oncology appointments because my immune system is so weak, I'm so behind with therapy which is making me anxious about the cancer spreading... It's a daily struggle to stay sane and to take care of myself - I haven't washed my hair in two weeks.
This brought me to tears. Thank you so much ❤ ever since being diagnosed with depression my skin care routine has flopped! Thank you for thinking of us Kassandra 💕 you are in our hearts ❤️
Darn ,so sorry you have been going thru that!. I always check out your advice or opinions on products. I am a health provider , researcher and You are wonderful to listen to!!! Some of us need you!!!
We all have those moments in life where you question everything and nothing seems to be going right. But i want you to know that you’re not alone and better days are soon to come! ❤
Depression sucks and it’s an everyday struggle specially when you can’t see the end. When there’s a loss and you can’t do anything about it totally sucks. Everyday that you’re above ground you’ve succeeded for that day. To everyone that goes through this everyday keep fighting
It’s so sad how I neglected myself because of severe depression + suicide. It’s been an on going battle for me for many years now. In 2022 I didn’t even put moisturizer on my face or even use facial cleanser unless I really have to and that’s just examples of the many things that I didn’t have energy or the strength to even think about doing. Everything about me suffered- skin, hair, weight, mind and basically every single cell of my being was affected badly. Survival is an hour by hour case for me and when bad thoughts come, I’m so happy that I have your TH-cam channel to turn to. I watch your videos to literally help me stay alive. Thank you so much for being a friend. I wish I can meet you someday or you can work on my face and do my facials 💜
Thank you for this I'm a 14yr girl and have been doing skin care since I was 12 and I just lost my mom on Nov 17th 2023 and it's so hard to take care of myself and have been going through depression for around 4 years now
I lost my voice too, after a very upset and depressed (roller coaster) long period last year. It was maybe the worst period of my life so far. You're not alone, and your resilience on your interests is a huge plus for healing.
Thanks for sharing your story I am sorry for your loss seeing these comments makes me feel not so alone I too lost someone very close to me,an ultimate loss.. my beloved mother. She was only 56 and I'm turning 27 in April.. I never thought I would have to deal with something like this so early in my adulthood. It is life changing , and before that I battled with depression anxiety, probably other undiagnosed things. I don't remember the last time I haven't cried at least once through the day. Thanks for your help in these very dark times .. my mom was a giver too.
You’re never alone ♥️ even in a world full of people with stories like yours, you don’t grieve alone. While i know i cant fully relate to your story and journey, i do want to extend some random kindness and love since you openly shared such a hurt and honest part of your life. I hope you have the upmost best support system while going through such a difficult time. I hope you can look in the mirror and be proud of yourself for coming so far and still standing. Everything little kind thing you do for yourself counts, take gratitude in what you have learned and done for yourself on your best days and your worst days. Grief does not have an timeline, take your time stepping through the motions and allow yourself to cry when you need to, allow yourself the full joy of laughing when you want to. You got this ♥️♥️♥️
This year has been an absolute bastard for me, my family and everyone I know. The bereavements just keep on coming. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, Cassandra, and when you can't do that, just stand Still for a while. Big hugs xxx
Thank you so much for this! I have mental illness’s and chronic fatigue. I found keeping my skin care on my bedside table really helps when I can't get out of bed. That way I can still do skincare. Another option is that I put a seat in my bathroom so I can sit down and do my skincare when my body is exhausted
I had a break down a couple of years back. I did eat, I lived of ginger ale and lime sherbet for 3 months, and I lost 80lb. I didn't brush my teeth or my hair. I didn't bathe, but once a week, gross, I know but I would have a panic attack in the tub/shower I would sleep on the couch setting up with pillows around like a nest I didn't have the energy to raise my arm. I had another small break downdown back in July, still dealing with it, but it's better,I talked to a counselor with my fist breakdown. I was so embarrassed to go because of what people would think, but I just wanted to feel better again, and my mom told me to go, and she took me to almost every single appointment it took awhile but I got better. I love you, @cassandrabankson, and you are in my prayers, sis❤❤❤❤
You're not gross, you're sick. I have trouble showering at all... And brushing teeth and hair (I'm going to need a hairdresser to detangle/dematt it). Just wanted to share.
thanks so much for this. I am depressed and struggling at the moment. some of my teeth have become lose and its really affecting my self worth. I have struggled with mental health all my life and am 55 now. its ok though because it does change, I am grateful that I more self aware now. it helps thank you for sharing this xxx
this is so so important thank you for making a video on this. i just started accutane today and im excited to get my skin back to normal. it seems like everything i do does not work and my self esteem is in the gutter. currently in my struggling to brush my teeth before bed era but im trying :)
Thank you so much. I’ve been feeling bad about my lack of skincare, but this helps me get a good starting point. Some of the things you said in this video cheered me up, so thanks for that too :)
I love this. I've had a very similar experience with my teeth and cavities. I have depressive episodes as well, and usually just don't do my skincare during that time. It takes all my energy just to go to work and actually do my work.
Thank you so much! My dad died suddenly in October and I've noticed that I'm only showering every other day or a bit longer. I have really oily skin so it gets really rough quickly if I don't cleanse everyday. This is something I can do on those days. Thanks so much again for always being helpful, authentic, and inclusive 💞
I'm a big fan of sink showers: wiping down my body with a wet face cloth at the sink instead of a full shower. But I also keep water wipes by my bed for those days I don't get up out of bed. I also keep floss picks and those little disposable toothbrushes bc honestly that's the most important hygiene if I do ONE thing I'm choosing my teeth. Like you I've had many cavities, I also have receding guns from years of not flossing 🥲 My pimples will heal and fade, the damage to my teeth won't, so that's what I prioritize.
your personality is so genuine and refreshing ❤ this was a great video idea. i love when you said you won’t let a blemish dictate how you feel. trying to work on this!
Thank you so much for this video! Depression has been a big factor in my life along with chronic fatigue and in remission from cancer but so much side effects this year has been RoUGH! One thing I did do a lot was use a toner spray most times I went to the bathroom I would just spray my face and I’d feel a bit better even for just a second. The last couple months I’ve started really getting into skincare so the best part of my day which I look forward to even if the rest has been shit is doing my skincare routine. And people see me and say I’m looking great when I leave the house even though I have spent days/weeks/months crying or not being able to get out of bed I only found your channel about a week ago and I already freakin love you and your attitude and realness and the fact you promote vegan and cruelty free brands Much love ❤️
This really hit home. My Mom passed in August, and I've been navigating grief and figuring out how to manage without my live-in sitter for my 12 hour work shifts (I'm a nurse and my partner is a restaurant manager so neither of us works a normal schedule). I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and the grief to really hit me. I think I've just been focused on keeping things normal for my 8 year old son that I haven't taken the time for myself to grieve.
So sorry for your loss, knowing I’m only a stranger across the internet, i know i can only say so much but i think you’re a kick ass mom for doing what’s best for you and your son while going through such a difficult time. You got this, take care of you and your loved ones, remind yourself you can do this, because you’re still here. Grief doesn’t have a timeline, take your space and time to feel everything but also remains yourself to be grateful for the people and things around you. ❤ sending you all the love on ur journey ♥️
We always forget about ourselves, remember to take some me time for yourself, even if it’s a quick bath or quiet time with a tea or coffee, anything you enjoy, whether it’s 5 mins or an hour, it’s always good to take second for ourselves and to just breathe ❤❤ I’m so sorry for your loss but remember your mother is smiling down on you and proud of the strong women you have become ❤
What a wonderful video. I’ve dealt with depression on and off since I was a child but am happy to say it’s manageable now. To everyone out there, know it is possible to get better and find your equilibrium someday, though it never goes away fully. Micellar water(Bioderma) is my go-to for cleansing when I’m not up to going to the sink. We love and appreciate you Cassandra! 💜 🦋
Tons of 💖💖💖 to you little sister! .... I don't think I even have an excuse for having used the face wipes in the past except for ignorance (you are so right they are rough on the skin!) and being tired at the end of the day. But you know what? It's okay we're just human. Go easy on yourself Cass bc in my eyes you are doing great and doing great things! 👍 💖 #speakyourheart
I lost my father almost 2 years ago. When I remember that time, I felt like a ghost. I could't able think any thing else than my father for a while. Now, it is still hits me ones in a while. But, we are all gonna die. Only think we have is this current life. That is why, I just want to spend my time trying to enjoy with little things This idea keeps me stronger. Your videos help me a lot. I am feeling like you are my friend. I hope you will feel better in time ❤
I feel like I've sent comments from deep in the thread asking for this. Sometimes it's depression, sometimes it's my sick kid body that cannot get up to do basic care.. coming back from those times can sometimes feel so daunting that it feels impossible. One thing I feel needs to be said as many times as necessary until it no longer needs to be proclaimed because it's widely and finally accepted as fact: every single human with a body and a brain and a spirit that can soar will have times when the universe just sucks your mental and emotional as well as physical life down it's most hungry black hole. No one gets to walk through life unbothered and unscathed. There will always be times when you just cannot feel at home regardless of where you are. It is part of the human experience and the only thing it says about you as a person is that you are one. We all share pain and difficulty and discomfort and we will all find our way through it - the specific methods will be just as varied as we are and some will work and some won't but just keep breathing. Keep breathing and new days will come.
thank you for this cassandra. seeing you in bed using the wipes was so hard for me to see, as someone who was in that place just a few months ago. my cat died last november, during my abusive childhood she was the only soul that ever truly loved me as i was and im still not the same. and i don’t think i ever will be. after three or maybe even more years of not being able to take care of my skin and attempting a routine several times.. i realised just a few months ago.. micellar water isn’t great to cleanse with sure. but just because of that doesn’t mean i can’t have a routine. i always hated washing my face in a sink. i tried. i can’t. not even in the shower. and because i knew i wouldn’t be cleansing well enough i didn’t use any of my serums or the rest of my skincare. just sunscreen. but i didn’t cleanse it off. just layered the sunscreen every day and not doing anything else. realising i can have a routine even cleansed improperly with a micellar water was the game changer for me. i started building my routine and perfecting it and my skin began to look so much better. two weeks ago i started tretinoin to finally leave acne behind me, hopefully, at 24. it works even with my improper cleansing. all my skincare works. maybe not as well but sure as hell better than doing nothing and not even using a moisturiser. or taking my makeup off and then not moisturising. my skin is just doing so much better and i fell in love with skincare again. very recently i also started oiling my hair again. my hair always had better routine than my face. even scrubs and masks. and now i incorporated oiling and im just so happy. and it all changed just because i realised its not all or nothing. it’s doing the best you can, navigating it rather than fighting against it, just like you said. this was very informative. i’m sorry for what happened cassie. i’ve been watching you struggle and i hope you’ll be better again soon. i also hope better help is getting truly _better_ and i’ve heard some horror stories and i people have been going after influencers that promote them because some shady stuff have been going on. i’m happy it’s helping you tho. we will both get better 🤍
One of the biggest helps for me is have all my skincare faves on a tray and I usually leave the tray by my bed. I’ll wash my face in the shower and then plop in bed and do my actual routine while I watch something. It’s helped me immensely. I would even leave my skincare in travel bags after traveling and I would keep it under my bed. I can just do it all in bed. Also makeup eraser/micro fiber towel. I’ll use a oil cleanser in the morning and I can just wipe it all off while in bed and do the rest of my routine. Also get a spf that is moisturizing so you can combine the 2 steps. These things saved me.
I definitely relate to this. I’ve had on and off mostly situational depression and I’ve had times I didn’t want to get out of bed. For some wild reason, I would always at least wash my face & use a moisturizer. Most of the time I’d apply a little mascara & concealer because I knew it would make me feel better. That really worked against me though because doctors would not take me seriously because I looked generally presentable .
Just wanted to say, for depressed days, la Roche posay micellar water is great to remove gunk and if you want a good cleanse you don’t even have to use water. Also keeping a moisturizer by ur bed helps me a lot.
I love you sooo much Cass🥰🥰🩷 thank u for all you do! I always learn something new from your videos and your energy is beyoutifully contagious, it makes my day 🤗
I am so grateful for your authenticity, transparency & sharing your story with us. I’m proud of you for honoring yourself by finding the right fit regarding your therapist/psychiatrist. I went through 7 therapists before I found the right fit. I too have been having a super rough year. I lost both of my parents at the beginning of this year. Your videos have been instrumental in me caring for myself, taking care of my skin & mental health. I so agree, “fighting the waves”, you won’t win. Go with the waves, hold space for your emotions & hug yourself. I adore you. Life with stickers is better 🤗. Yeah, for the Inkey List 👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you 😊. Blessings 😉🌷
I've been trrough 3 clinical depressions from which the last was worst and that was because in de same time I went to menopause and I lost my dearly beloved brother and my sweet cat. In that depressed state I got also sick (already being a chronic pain patient for 8 years) and got big problems with my bladder and totally stressed out pelvic muscles (they were to tensed). I've had loads of help from my husband and my mental health team, my docter and medication. But in the beginning my only desire was not to wake up in the morning. It was tough. My body hasn't healed fully but mentally I am in een much better place now but it took me 2 years this time (and my dentist was also not that pleased with me). For those who aren't there yet, navigate those waves and don't be afraid to ask for help. There is a life after depression.
I also am a very sensitive soul. Have been diagnosed with bipolar, ocd, fybromyalgia just to name a few. Sometimes I would like to just do nothing on certain days when I can't cope, but I have 2 young children...so that's not an option for me. My body is currently so painful...I can barely go to the toilet 🥹😢
didn't know you suffered from depression although I have seen a few of your videos over the years. thanks for sharing! I have also experienced depression in the past and found it hard to keep up with taking care of myself. This video will be so useful for so many.
Cassandra, you MUST be a WATER SIGN. As a fire sign, depression doesn’t quite feel like yours, it just feels like anger, inconsistency, but NEVER, like I’m getting carried away with the waves.
You really helped me during this year whith skin care recommendations. Afordable and easy skin care, that helped me take care of myself a little bit more during really hard times. When I tell you I cried watching this video... Thank you so much for everything you are doing. You are wonderful. ❤
i am both sick and depressed. i can not even shower atm. what i have done to at least try to take care of myself a little bit is i have a towel, a spraybottle with water and a facial cleanser right here in a box by my bed and when i have the energy i clean myself with that, and i also have creams and stuff in my box. thats my tip for the ones who have periods when you cannot get out of bed.
This was incredibly helpful. Specially the "don't fight the waves, navigate them". I'm going through a very tough time and haven't felt free in a truly long time
You are not alone ❤❤

I have a chronic illness that means there are times I can’t get out of bed, and this is really helpful for that! Really glad to hear that you’re starting to feel better, I’m sure things will continue to improve!! ❤
Same!! I think I’m going to share this video in my Addisons disease group to help my fellow spoonies. ❤
Same! Fibromyalgia spoonie here.
Made an account just so I can comment. Girl I've been watching you since I was 13 years old, and I always come back to you for skincare advice. I'm twice that age now, and my opinion of you hasn't changed. Your personality continues to be SO authentic and refreshing, especially now in a world of beauty/skinfluencers who have zero qualms about throwing their souls away to promote any product that pays the big bucks. What you do here on YT has made SUCH a difference in my life (read: my SKIN); I seriously wouldn't have been able to get here without you. Sending you all my very best vibes 💗
I agree. Love this comment! ❤
❤️❤️
Honored to have grown with this community and Cassandra 🪬♥️
This video hits home for us chronic illness babes too!! I don’t deal with depression, but I have extreme chronic fatigue and this is SO not talked about enough!!
Watched this video a couple months ago and loved the tips and shared them to my own clients….now months later I’m struggling and I’m back to remind myself of those tips. Thank you for this.
My mom passed away this year. It was so sudden and horrific that I was in denial until my dog died and I just spiraled. But my medication helped me not get completely out of control. It’s given me energy to continue my job, and do self-love like going to my esthetician and getting a massage. But it’s been so damn hard. What a fucking year.
So sorry for your loss. Sending u so much love 🫂♥
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been through this and it is so hard. Sending hugs and healing ❤️🩹
I can’t imagine what you’ve been through but i do know you’re a strong human being to push through the motions and take care of yourself while going this big change and loss. I know I’m just a stranger on another side of a screen but i hear your struggle, and honor that you wanted to share ♥️ sending well wishes to you and your well being as you continue to grow and grieve your loved ones ❤️🩹🕊️
I feel you. For me it was 2021, my brother and my cat within a month. It is tough. Keep going, theere is light at the horizon.
I’m so sorry
Not enough is said about the connection between mental health and dental health!!! When I had a severe bout of depression in 2020-2021, I had to get 7 cavities filled and my gums treated. When I went to the dentist, the dentist himself was super kind and understanding but one of the dental techs made me feel super insecure and bad about myself. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else talk about depression and teeth!!!!
Scientists are actually linking dental health to Alzheimer’s and dementia
Not just depression but those of us going through surgeries and or chemo ( like me) and other physical /health issues that need a routine that let's us lowly sick people still care for our skin
And YES I'm the one that better help told to STOP CHEMO
Sending you the best wishes and vibrations through your journey and I’m also so sorry someone from better help tried to give you medical advice… seems very unfit of them. Take care Dani ♥️
Thank you as this is also helpful for those of us with autoimmune, chronic illness, disabilities. I have good and bad days, so this is a godsend for spoonies
I am usually a silent watcher but I have to say this. You are so incredebly strong! You help so many people boost their own confidence.
I started skincare about 4 years ago because of you. I really have problems liking myself and my looks but starting skincare and actually taking care of myself made such a huge difference. So thank you Cassandra for being our skincare big sister!
Much love and hugs.
Sometimes, when you’ve been sad for a while and are finally happy, it feels strange. I’ve had that happen before, and it’s really hard to get out of the mindset that you don’t deserve to be happy when you finally found happiness in your life. You get used to being sad… which sounds crazy, but I’ve had it happen to be before.
My 2022 probably was a little like your 2023. I got diagnosed with epilepsy, adhd, depression, lost 2 family members and so much more. It's the end of 2023 now & I'm still hoping I'll find medication that works for me. But I finally found a good therapist & I'm really hopeful for next year ☺️
My Hygiene & selfcare routines havent been the best for the last 2 years, but you have no idea how much you helped me find joy in skincare again!
I truly appreciate your honesty about what you're struggling with. I also have lost 2 family members on the same day this year and it's been hard. I also really appreciate thinking about those with disabilities.
You are doing so much for so many out there. Such refreshing content! Nothing about Cyber this and Black Friday that. Just genuine caring content. Thank you.❤
Girl this is so authentic. Thank you for this. I've lost two close people in my life a year ago and I felt guilty if I moved on with my life without them. I go through my day wanting to cry and I had to take a break from everything I'm still hurting 11:30
Thank you so so much. I've been fighting my depression and recently got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. This video is so helpful. Thank you!
I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. Thank you for sharing this amazing resource.
I have ADHD and autism, so skincare can be a struggle. I stuck a container to the side of my desk right beside my bed. Inside it is my tretinoan, moisturiser, toner, essential medication, micellar water, cotton pads and serum.
It sounds crazy, but when you have working memory issues this is a lifesaver. It's kinda hard to forget to cleanse and apply your skincare when the bottles are right beside your head.
I manage soap and moisturiser with spf in. I don’t even try for anything else and don’t beat myself up about it. If I had all those near my bed it would be another obstacle preventing me getting out of it. Glad it works for you.
I can get out of bed pretty much everyday, but I have been going through a bad period of depression the last few months (or 30 years), and I've been struggling to take care of myself, including hygiene and skincare and stuff, so this was a great video! Thank you so much!
Wow. My heart goes out to you. I lost my brother and my dad in 2021 so I can sympathize with your losses. I’m still struggling today so it’s okay that you haven’t been the same. Sending hugs.
My husband suffers severely with depression, I’ve seen some of his lowest and hardest moments. It’s so sad. Sorry you’re through this. You’re my fave TH-cam channel, thanks for being so honest and kind.
Cassandra, thank you, sincerely. You’re a brave pioneering woman and your videos are a balm for the soul x
You have healed me, with your aura, knowledge. Its sad to hear you story! You are a gem. you lift millions of people. Recognize abuse, violende, brakdown...xx
I have watched this video multiple times today. It breaks my heart that you have been through so much (and while in the public eye). It is so hard to imagine someone leaving hurtful comments to those that teach us so much and help us grow in so many ways and there must be some ugly people at there as I hear multiple influencers that they must have thick skin. Sending all the best wishes for you and please know you are the highlight of my week every week! Much Love!
Thank you so much. You truly dont know how helpful this was. As i have been depressed and completely lost myself abd let myself go in so many ways nd atop doing any skincare.
Skin care has been a coping mechanism for my depression over the pandemic. It's been a lovely way of taking care of myself as someone who has a hard time putting my needs as a priority. Your videos are so informative and your voice is very soothing, just discovered you this year!
This is truly your best video. 🦋 I’ve been in that place you’re talking about. Couldn’t get out of bed. My childhood and marriage brought me to my knees. My psychologist plus walking in nature saved my life. You are helping so many by doing this video. Depression is a lonely dark place. Love n hugs. 🥰 You always make me smile. Butterflies for you 🦋🦋🦋🦋
ive had clinical depression my whole life, just turned 20, and have never tried skincare my entire life because of how many steps it has despite wanting to. this was a lovely video to come across. ty for making this ❤️
thank you for being so open about this, cassandra :) i’ve personally dealt with MDD (major depressive disorder) and been medicated and in therapy for the past almost seven years now, been through a few hospitalizations as well. it’s definitely an ocean like you described! ups and downs.
realizing i was a trans man was both beneficial and detrimental for different reasons for my mental health. it’s nice knowing where all my self loathing comes from, but it’s very frustrating to still be stuck in the wrong body. some days i can’t stand to look at myself in the mirror, so a routine i can do without being in the bathroom is incredibly helpful
You are so very valuable and worthy of care from yourself and others. I am sorry that society is in general so very ignorant regarding trans issues, gender dysphoria, and mental health concerns. There is profound ignorance and also a social regression, with much misinformation and new stigma at what has become a public shaming of trans people even by people who are very accepting of gay people, or in any case, accepting enough, or gay or lesbian themselves. It is tragic. Trans people have become a new scapegoat used, I personally believe, by political and influential very wealthy people to divert the people from thinking too much about real difficulties facing us, such as environmental deterioration, climate change, wars in progress and threatening to all of us, and more. Far easier to get people riled up about birth control and who uses what bathroom. It's tragic. My genuine care is sent your way. Stay with it. Stay with you. We all need you. xx
thank you for this.
Appreciative that you’re willing to show pictures of your acne in the past. I try to stay away from the advice concerening acne of those who have never struggled with acne, even sometimes in the case with professionals, because there’s something about struggling with acne that you only get if you’ve seriously had to deal with it in the past.
Wow, you're timing on this is perfect for me. I'm in a major depressive episode right now, and my skin has really fallen by the wayside. Thank you
Absolutely been having a year, oh man the hill. Thank-you for this skin care depression video I love your content, I am so sorry you are having a year 🌱 Also, I am very interested in learning more about color theroy
Being depressed most of your life gives you a sparkle about how beautiful are simple things in life (and how much you want to feel that like people who aren't depressed): to be able to be happy is the only thing depressed people wish. And to have a happy life is simple and pure somehow but so rare sadly. But Cass there is a rainbow at the end of this sadly moment, but you need time to heal and to discover little by little happy life again, like a child. Step by step with a broken heart but with amazing people who love you and the most important....medication helps you to remain on that level of normality somehow. And don't think 'oh i am waiting to stop medication and do x and y', some people will need medication all their life sadly and you need to live in a harmony with them and think there are tiny helpers for you to stay calm and have a little bit of joy.
Love you all who struggle with that. You are not alone even you are thinking you are.
It does get better. I went through war, being a refugee, alcoholic father, and exploitative stepfather. I almost sank into alcohol and I needed help, but I had nobody...except myself.
That little strong voice inside of me yelled "Get the fuck up soldier!" and I did. I got control of my life and I realised how strong I really am.
So all of you dear people, do not give up and take care of yourself. ❤
This year has been horrible for me and my family. It's even worse than 2017. when my husband passed away from brain tumour, which took such a heavy toll on my physical and mental health. By the time he passed, I was under 50kg (173 cm in height) and I was in such a bad shape, I couldn't get out of bed to make my child dinner or lunch, for which I feel so guilty and always will feel so bad about that period in our lives. Thankfully, my parents are both here and we moved in with them. It took me two yrs to recover (and then Covid hit) That was a terrible time in my life, but this year topped it all with the loss of my only sibling and my cancer diagnosis. I wouldn't be getting out of bed if it weren't for constant oncology appointments because my immune system is so weak, I'm so behind with therapy which is making me anxious about the cancer spreading... It's a daily struggle to stay sane and to take care of myself - I haven't washed my hair in two weeks.
This brought me to tears. Thank you so much ❤ ever since being diagnosed with depression my skin care routine has flopped! Thank you for thinking of us Kassandra 💕 you are in our hearts ❤️
Darn ,so sorry you have been going thru that!. I always check out your advice or opinions on products. I am a health provider , researcher and You are wonderful to listen to!!! Some of us need you!!!
We all have those moments in life where you question everything and nothing seems to be going right. But i want you to know that you’re not alone and better days are soon to come! ❤
Depression sucks and it’s an everyday struggle specially when you can’t see the end. When there’s a loss and you can’t do anything about it totally sucks. Everyday that you’re above ground you’ve succeeded for that day. To everyone that goes through this everyday keep fighting
It’s so sad how I neglected myself because of severe depression + suicide. It’s been an on going battle for me for many years now. In 2022 I didn’t even put moisturizer on my face or even use facial cleanser unless I really have to and that’s just examples of the many things that I didn’t have energy or the strength to even think about doing. Everything about me suffered- skin, hair, weight, mind and basically every single cell of my being was affected badly. Survival is an hour by hour case for me and when bad thoughts come, I’m so happy that I have your TH-cam channel to turn to. I watch your videos to literally help me stay alive. Thank you so much for being a friend. I wish I can meet you someday or you can work on my face and do my facials 💜
when i was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, doing my skincare is the only thing that kept me sane🤍😭
I am so sorry for your loss Cassandra. We love you and hope for your healing and for your best well being ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you.....this resonates so much with me right now.❤
Thank you for this I'm a 14yr girl and have been doing skin care since I was 12 and I just lost my mom on Nov 17th 2023 and it's so hard to take care of myself and have been going through depression for around 4 years now
I lost my voice too, after a very upset and depressed (roller coaster) long period last year. It was maybe the worst period of my life so far. You're not alone, and your resilience on your interests is a huge plus for healing.
You are truly THE "pep talk" woman that I can relate to! Bless you!💕🙏
Thanks for sharing your story I am sorry for your loss seeing these comments makes me feel not so alone I too lost someone very close to me,an ultimate loss.. my beloved mother. She was only 56 and I'm turning 27 in April.. I never thought I would have to deal with something like this so early in my adulthood. It is life changing , and before that I battled with depression anxiety, probably other undiagnosed things. I don't remember the last time I haven't cried at least once through the day. Thanks for your help in these very dark times .. my mom was a giver too.
You’re never alone ♥️ even in a world full of people with stories like yours, you don’t grieve alone. While i know i cant fully relate to your story and journey, i do want to extend some random kindness and love since you openly shared such a hurt and honest part of your life. I hope you have the upmost best support system while going through such a difficult time. I hope you can look in the mirror and be proud of yourself for coming so far and still standing. Everything little kind thing you do for yourself counts, take gratitude in what you have learned and done for yourself on your best days and your worst days. Grief does not have an timeline, take your time stepping through the motions and allow yourself to cry when you need to, allow yourself the full joy of laughing when you want to. You got this ♥️♥️♥️
This year has been an absolute bastard for me, my family and everyone I know. The bereavements just keep on coming. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, Cassandra, and when you can't do that, just stand Still for a while. Big hugs xxx
Thank you so much for this! I have mental illness’s and chronic fatigue. I found keeping my skin care on my bedside table really helps when I can't get out of bed. That way I can still do skincare. Another option is that I put a seat in my bathroom so I can sit down and do my skincare when my body is exhausted
I had a break down a couple of years back. I did eat, I lived of ginger ale and lime sherbet for 3 months, and I lost 80lb. I didn't brush my teeth or my hair. I didn't bathe, but once a week, gross, I know but I would have a panic attack in the tub/shower I would sleep on the couch setting up with pillows around like a nest I didn't have the energy to raise my arm. I had another small break downdown back in July, still dealing with it, but it's better,I talked to a counselor with my fist breakdown. I was so embarrassed to go because of what people would think, but I just wanted to feel better again, and my mom told me to go, and she took me to almost every single appointment it took awhile but I got better. I love you, @cassandrabankson, and you are in my prayers, sis❤❤❤❤
You're not gross, you're sick. I have trouble showering at all... And brushing teeth and hair (I'm going to need a hairdresser to detangle/dematt it). Just wanted to share.
@cb6651 thank you 😊 it can be hard at times.
Thank you 🙏 Cassandra for sharing. Have a blessed Holiday season.
thanks so much for this. I am depressed and struggling at the moment. some of my teeth have become lose and its really affecting my self worth. I have struggled with mental health all my life and am 55 now. its ok though because it does change, I am grateful that I more self aware now. it helps thank you for sharing this xxx
this is so so important thank you for making a video on this. i just started accutane today and im excited to get my skin back to normal. it seems like everything i do does not work and my self esteem is in the gutter. currently in my struggling to brush my teeth before bed era but im trying :)
Praying for you Cassandra and all of you out there who are struggling. 🙏❤
Thank you so much. I’ve been feeling bad about my lack of skincare, but this helps me get a good starting point. Some of the things you said in this video cheered me up, so thanks for that too :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. I wish i could give you a big hug and thank you for your excellent videos that have been invaluable for me.
I love this. I've had a very similar experience with my teeth and cavities. I have depressive episodes as well, and usually just don't do my skincare during that time. It takes all my energy just to go to work and actually do my work.
You bring my heart such joy!
You're so amazing... thank you for these video❤
Thank you so much! My dad died suddenly in October and I've noticed that I'm only showering every other day or a bit longer. I have really oily skin so it gets really rough quickly if I don't cleanse everyday. This is something I can do on those days. Thanks so much again for always being helpful, authentic, and inclusive 💞
I'm a big fan of sink showers: wiping down my body with a wet face cloth at the sink instead of a full shower. But I also keep water wipes by my bed for those days I don't get up out of bed. I also keep floss picks and those little disposable toothbrushes bc honestly that's the most important hygiene if I do ONE thing I'm choosing my teeth. Like you I've had many cavities, I also have receding guns from years of not flossing 🥲
My pimples will heal and fade, the damage to my teeth won't, so that's what I prioritize.
Thank you and yes, you do make me laugh and to feel better, at least temporarily, which any little break helps....a lot! ✨
Thank you for sharing. This will be so helpful for lots of people
Cassandra toner pads helped me with my mental health and sometimes lazyness. Try the Mediheal or the cell fusion (cooling) ones ❤
your personality is so genuine and refreshing ❤ this was a great video idea. i love when you said you won’t let a blemish dictate how you feel. trying to work on this!
Thank you so much for sharing, you are certainly a beautiful butterfly 🦋, sending you tons of love, hugs and good vibes ✨
You've helped me more than you know, especially today with this video. I thank you so very much!!❤❤
Thank you so much for all this encouragement! You re changing our lives for better ♥️
Thank you so much for this video! Depression has been a big factor in my life along with chronic fatigue and in remission from cancer but so much side effects this year has been RoUGH! One thing I did do a lot was use a toner spray most times I went to the bathroom I would just spray my face and I’d feel a bit better even for just a second. The last couple months I’ve started really getting into skincare so the best part of my day which I look forward to even if the rest has been shit is doing my skincare routine. And people see me and say I’m looking great when I leave the house even though I have spent days/weeks/months crying or not being able to get out of bed
I only found your channel about a week ago and I already freakin love you and your attitude and realness and the fact you promote vegan and cruelty free brands
Much love ❤️
Girl, you are amazing. I have my days too!! And you are so real!!!
Thank you so much I feel seen heard understood and learned something as well!! ❤
This really hit home. My Mom passed in August, and I've been navigating grief and figuring out how to manage without my live-in sitter for my 12 hour work shifts (I'm a nurse and my partner is a restaurant manager so neither of us works a normal schedule). I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and the grief to really hit me. I think I've just been focused on keeping things normal for my 8 year old son that I haven't taken the time for myself to grieve.
So sorry for your loss, knowing I’m only a stranger across the internet, i know i can only say so much but i think you’re a kick ass mom for doing what’s best for you and your son while going through such a difficult time. You got this, take care of you and your loved ones, remind yourself you can do this, because you’re still here. Grief doesn’t have a timeline, take your space and time to feel everything but also remains yourself to be grateful for the people and things around you. ❤ sending you all the love on ur journey ♥️
We always forget about ourselves, remember to take some me time for yourself, even if it’s a quick bath or quiet time with a tea or coffee, anything you enjoy, whether it’s 5 mins or an hour, it’s always good to take second for ourselves and to just breathe ❤❤ I’m so sorry for your loss but remember your mother is smiling down on you and proud of the strong women you have become ❤
Been there.
Thank you for this video
What a wonderful video. I’ve dealt with depression on and off since I was a child but am happy to say it’s manageable now. To everyone out there, know it is possible to get better and find your equilibrium someday, though it never goes away fully.
Micellar water(Bioderma) is my go-to for cleansing when I’m not up to going to the sink.
We love and appreciate you Cassandra! 💜 🦋
Tons of 💖💖💖 to you little sister! .... I don't think I even have an excuse for having used the face wipes in the past except for ignorance (you are so right they are rough on the skin!) and being tired at the end of the day. But you know what? It's okay we're just human. Go easy on yourself Cass bc in my eyes you are doing great and doing great things! 👍
💖 #speakyourheart
I lost my father almost 2 years ago. When I remember that time, I felt like a ghost. I could't able think any thing else than my father for a while. Now, it is still hits me ones in a while. But, we are all gonna die. Only think we have is this current life. That is why, I just want to spend my time trying to enjoy with little things This idea keeps me stronger. Your videos help me a lot. I am feeling like you are my friend. I hope you will feel better in time ❤
I feel like I've sent comments from deep in the thread asking for this. Sometimes it's depression, sometimes it's my sick kid body that cannot get up to do basic care.. coming back from those times can sometimes feel so daunting that it feels impossible.
One thing I feel needs to be said as many times as necessary until it no longer needs to be proclaimed because it's widely and finally accepted as fact: every single human with a body and a brain and a spirit that can soar will have times when the universe just sucks your mental and emotional as well as physical life down it's most hungry black hole. No one gets to walk through life unbothered and unscathed. There will always be times when you just cannot feel at home regardless of where you are. It is part of the human experience and the only thing it says about you as a person is that you are one.
We all share pain and difficulty and discomfort and we will all find our way through it - the specific methods will be just as varied as we are and some will work and some won't but just keep breathing. Keep breathing and new days will come.
You are great. Don't listen to the trolls!
thank you for this cassandra. seeing you in bed using the wipes was so hard for me to see, as someone who was in that place just a few months ago.
my cat died last november, during my abusive childhood she was the only soul that ever truly loved me as i was and im still not the same. and i don’t think i ever will be.
after three or maybe even more years of not being able to take care of my skin and attempting a routine several times.. i realised just a few months ago..
micellar water isn’t great to cleanse with sure. but just because of that doesn’t mean i can’t have a routine. i always hated washing my face in a sink. i tried. i can’t. not even in the shower. and because i knew i wouldn’t be cleansing well enough i didn’t use any of my serums or the rest of my skincare. just sunscreen. but i didn’t cleanse it off. just layered the sunscreen every day and not doing anything else.
realising i can have a routine even cleansed improperly with a micellar water was the game changer for me. i started building my routine and perfecting it and my skin began to look so much better.
two weeks ago i started tretinoin to finally leave acne behind me, hopefully, at 24. it works even with my improper cleansing. all my skincare works. maybe not as well but sure as hell better than doing nothing and not even using a moisturiser. or taking my makeup off and then not moisturising. my skin is just doing so much better and i fell in love with skincare again.
very recently i also started oiling my hair again. my hair always had better routine than my face. even scrubs and masks. and now i incorporated oiling and im just so happy. and it all changed just because i realised its not all or nothing. it’s doing the best you can, navigating it rather than fighting against it, just like you said.
this was very informative. i’m sorry for what happened cassie. i’ve been watching you struggle and i hope you’ll be better again soon.
i also hope better help is getting truly _better_ and i’ve heard some horror stories and i people have been going after influencers that promote them because some shady stuff have been going on. i’m happy it’s helping you tho. we will both get better 🤍
One of the biggest helps for me is have all my skincare faves on a tray and I usually leave the tray by my bed. I’ll wash my face in the shower and then plop in bed and do my actual routine while I watch something. It’s helped me immensely. I would even leave my skincare in travel bags after traveling and I would keep it under my bed. I can just do it all in bed. Also makeup eraser/micro fiber towel. I’ll use a oil cleanser in the morning and I can just wipe it all off while in bed and do the rest of my routine. Also get a spf that is moisturizing so you can combine the 2 steps. These things saved me.
I definitely relate to this. I’ve had on and off mostly situational depression and I’ve had times I didn’t want to get out of bed. For some wild reason, I would always at least wash my face & use a moisturizer. Most of the time I’d apply a little mascara & concealer because I knew it would make me feel better. That really worked against me though because doctors would not take me seriously because I looked generally presentable .
Thank you Cassandra! ❤️🩹 Sad to hear, that you're struggling. I hope you get well soon 🤗🥰
Just wanted to say, for depressed days, la Roche posay micellar water is great to remove gunk and if you want a good cleanse you don’t even have to use water. Also keeping a moisturizer by ur bed helps me a lot.
I love you sooo much Cass🥰🥰🩷 thank u for all you do! I always learn something new from your videos and your energy is beyoutifully contagious, it makes my day 🤗
I am so grateful for your authenticity, transparency & sharing your story with us. I’m proud of you for honoring yourself by finding the right fit regarding your therapist/psychiatrist. I went through 7 therapists before I found the right fit. I too have been having a super rough year. I lost both of my parents at the beginning of this year. Your videos have been instrumental in me caring for myself, taking care of my skin & mental health. I so agree, “fighting the waves”, you won’t win. Go with the waves, hold space for your emotions & hug yourself. I adore you. Life with stickers is better 🤗. Yeah, for the Inkey List 👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you 😊. Blessings 😉🌷
Aw I’m so sorry for ur loss
I've been trrough 3 clinical depressions from which the last was worst and that was because in de same time I went to menopause and I lost my dearly beloved brother and my sweet cat. In that depressed state I got also sick (already being a chronic pain patient for 8 years) and got big problems with my bladder and totally stressed out pelvic muscles (they were to tensed). I've had loads of help from my husband and my mental health team, my docter and medication. But in the beginning my only desire was not to wake up in the morning.
It was tough. My body hasn't healed fully but mentally I am in een much better place now but it took me 2 years this time (and my dentist was also not that pleased with me).
For those who aren't there yet, navigate those waves and don't be afraid to ask for help. There is a life after depression.
I also am a very sensitive soul. Have been diagnosed with bipolar, ocd, fybromyalgia just to name a few. Sometimes I would like to just do nothing on certain days when I can't cope, but I have 2 young children...so that's not an option for me. My body is currently so painful...I can barely go to the toilet 🥹😢
didn't know you suffered from depression although I have seen a few of your videos over the years. thanks for sharing! I have also experienced depression in the past and found it hard to keep up with taking care of myself. This video will be so useful for so many.
Thank you for this video - I admire your strength and I want to give you a hug, because you really need one
Cassandra, you MUST be a WATER SIGN. As a fire sign, depression doesn’t quite feel like yours, it just feels like anger, inconsistency, but NEVER, like I’m getting carried away with the waves.
You really helped me during this year whith skin care recommendations. Afordable and easy skin care, that helped me take care of myself a little bit more during really hard times.
When I tell you I cried watching this video... Thank you so much for everything you are doing. You are wonderful. ❤
Thank you so much for this 💜
i am both sick and depressed. i can not even shower atm. what i have done to at least try to take care of myself a little bit is i have a towel, a spraybottle with water and a facial cleanser right here in a box by my bed and when i have the energy i clean myself with that, and i also have creams and stuff in my box. thats my tip for the ones who have periods when you cannot get out of bed.
You are amazing and so much appreciated ❤ thank you for being so relatable!
Awesome sauce!!!
Thank you ❤
Thank you. I needed you today ❤❤❤❤❤❤ to
Hope u find your peace and Beyouthiful
