Whenever I have skin barrier/irritation issues, I just slug at night for a couple nights (on top of a heavy ceramide moisturizer) and we're good to go. I go heavy-handed with both, and yes we look like grease ball, but my skin thanks me the next morning.
I damaged mine SEVERELY and only recently found out about slugging. WOW. It’s healing so fast. The sad part is I am 25 and could not for the life of me get my skin to hold water and it was affecting me mentally because I feel too young to be feeling like this. Thank you for sharing 💖
@@rosem9989 I like Ceramedx for those days (Cass has recommended it time and time again) because it has the benefits of CeraVe but the texture is a million times nicer. But I've also used Cetaphil's moisturizing cream (in the tub, no ceramides + has niacinamide) with similar results.
Literally same! I have seborrheic dermatitis and the best way I can describe is it like eczema on crack + pain and redness so I use a cream that contains colloidal oat and niacinamide and then some cerave healing ointment under my eyes and the side of my nose. And it soothes everything
If I'm experiencing skin barrier damage, using 3 moisturizer really help. I think the redness and itchiness is gone in 7 days. 1st using gel moisturizer (soothing gel), heavy or creamy moisturizer and top it with oil or petroleum jelly!! It's really effective for me. I only do this at night since I'm gonna look so oily and crazy if i use it during the day.
@@Sam-lh4pw "Just Niacinamide 10%" serum by European brand "Revox B77" I'm trying to find a good dupe for Ordinary's Niacinamide and Zinc because Ordinary is not available in my country anymore.
I was using retinol and I was using it every day then I used the ordinary aha/bha mask. It burned my skin so bad. It took two weeks to heal. Lesson learned
My skin is currently struggling to heal after a rather heavy period with lots of acne, especially on and around my nose. Needed to find this video to help me because I've been having a hard time keeping everything from getting infected and it's just not healing properly. It's currently September 3, about two weeks after getting the initial acne, and I'm going to come back to this comment to edit it with how my skin is doing when I start seeing good signs after taking these advice of this video. Love ya, Cass.
I want to greatly thank you; My face has been in hell for the past couple days and you have helped me understand what is happening in an articulate way and understand helpful steps towards what I can do to help my skin. I have promptly threw away the moisturiser that caused this.
I have seborrheic dermatitis which is where randomly my skin becomes red, inflamed, flaky, itchy and I lose melanin on my face for months. What's helped me is keeping a simple routine of cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and la roche posay eczema relief cream and I dab a little bit of cerave healing ointment to prevent any dry spots from flaking. This helped me regain my skin color & stop flaking.
Girl it’s so hard to avoid actives these days lol! I just started my tretinoin journey with Dermatica and my skin reacts to products I used to use with no issues so I’m like okay, I’ll need to switch up a bit. But then my order of Korean sunscreens got delayed as I’m on the very last of my last bottle. So I went to a drugstore and finding a vegan cruelty free, fragrance free and now active free sunscreen was literally IMPOSSIBLE. And now I have one that stings a bit until me beloved ones arrive again.
I had the same situation, I’ve used Dermatica for 2 years now and I tried many sunscreens. The one I found to be best is Cetaphil daily defence spf 50 😊
When I have irritation or even if I destroy my skin barrier cause I love trying new products. I always go back to the basics (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF) and add some prescription ointments from my derm in the spots it’s happening. I may look DEAD but my skin heals in the next 2 days.
Just in time, I got a facial that resulted in chemical burns because the technician had no idea what she was doing and now my face is red raw and stinging 😤 very helpful video
i thankfully have not run into this issue yet, which i’m incredibly thankful for. the only time i came close was when i did a polish peel i got from sephora. not doing that again!
When I’ve over-exfoliated, I’ve always had tremendous success with switching out my everyday Vitamin C (Stratia’s C+C) to a Vitamin C derivative (The Inky List’s vitamin C +egf), following up with some peptides (The Ordinary’s argireline and their Matrixyl), then a super hydrating moisturizer and at night, doing all that then finishing it off with an occlusive moisturizer, a layer of rose hip oil and finishing it all off with a very thin layer of petroleum jelly. The visible effects of over exfoliation seem to leave in a couple days rather than several days or week(s) in my experience.
HELP! My skin has become damaged by simply over cleansing. I’ve been experiencing this for the past 2 years. Although, eliminating fragrance and all harsh ingredients my skin doesn’t seem to get on with any cleanser. I end up experiencing itchy, texture/spots on my face and neck identical to purging (not purging as they’re basic cleansers with no active ingredients). I’ve used all these cleansers and have all impacted my barrier in a negative way: Vanicream gentle cleanser Cerave hydrating cleanser Cerave foaming cleanser Khiels ultra facial cleanser Paula’s choice calming cleanser First aid beauty cleanser Koress hydrating cleanser La Roche posay hydrating cleanser La Roche posay foaming cleanser I’ve definitely tried more but cannot seem to remember at this time. WHAT DO I DO? 🥺
I already know how I like to heal my skin, but I love your videos so much and I literally just started my healing routine tonight cause my bright self decided to try benzoyl peroxide again even though I know its irritated me in the past. usually I just didn't let it soak in long enough and it'd get around my eyes so id stop using it after a couple days. this time I let it soak in and didn't have that problem, but now I have a big red reaction on my face after a week or so of using it... I should know better but in the past its been amazing for my breakouts just always ends up in a rash/irritated skin or swollen itchy eyes....
Omg! I wish I had this video two years ago! I ruined the skin around my mouth & I had to perform on stage & it was summer & my makeup wouldn't even stay on the over exfoliated skin... Pyunkang Yul repair cream & their essence toner - lifesavers!
Disinfect the irritated region. I like Povidon Iodine. Or just wash with water. Use a soothing cream or ointment. Stuff with panthenol or centella asiatica or oat extract. Keep it hydrated and moisturized. Look for ceramide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, peptide, mineral oil, dimethicone. Sun protection....just use clothings and umbrella. Mineral sumscreen if you're insistent on using sunscreen.
I always use raw organic honey as a mask and leave it for 20 min whenever I feel like my skin barrier has been irritated or damaged from over exfoliation or too much use of retinol. Honey is the only diy that I use on my face and yes it helps 100%.
I overdid it with products, got perioral dermatitis, plus possible acne. Isotretinoin orally has been brilliant. I like the Truskin vitamin C moisturiser, just not around the eyes, as it has essential oil in it. I also love anything fragrance free but I'm not obsessive anymore, I just avoid my chin where the dermatitis was.
Avène repairing cream helped me a lot, still healing my severely damaged sensitive dry skin, I use rose water as toner, then apply almond oil as essence/moisturizer base, then mix a pea size Avène repair cream with Avenoo moisturizers(I have lots of Avenoo ones, you name it), then apply it.. Sometimes I switch with a medicated emollient cream..I'm not using niacinamide/vitamin c serum at the moment,even azelic acid irritates my skin,it's beyond repair, so I'll correct my barrier & irritation 1st, then I'll use those.. Now it's a lot better.. I'll give my skin time & hopefully it will be alright by the grace of Almighty
I watched the video with the work of the Lake and the content is very special and very wonderful and very useful Oh God bless my friend Vicky View full content is very beautiful
Hey cassu please make a review on dot and key skin care.. Its a popular brand in india.. The packaging etc looks exactly like frudia a korean brand.... I think u have made a review abt that before.. And dot and key is cruelty free... So please compare prices and formulations of dot and key and frudia.. And make a video.. Coz both looks exactly same...
Same, magic in a bottle! And I just got the body version- it is remarkable. I’ve never found something so nourishing and emollient without being at all oily or sticky. It melts into the skin!
Omg, haven't even watched the video yet but I hope that this can help save my life. When I was thirteen, I had relatively clear skin but social media believe that "perfect, flawless" skin existed. So I brought cerave (benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid cleansers). To make a horribly long and traumatic story short, I misused the cerave cleansers and within five days I had the most horrible tragic skin reaction when I woke up and I was so terrified. My face was on fire, it was flaky, swelling, puffiness, drier than a desert, it was HORRID!! Fast forward to a year now, I'm still where I started. While the flakiness / dryness is gone, cerave left me with inflamed skin and my skin is always hot to the touch, the inflammation also led to really bad pigmentation that hasn't cleared up. :( I've tried many products for my barrier but nothing seems to help with my inflamed skin and my pigmentation is just so horrible. I went from clear skin to 101 skin problems all in 5 days, and I hope this video can help with some tips for my barrier and inflammation :( I tried DMing you on IG for more context on my completely ruined skin lol
Omg same here I mean not the same story but something similar. The paula’s choice bha exfoliant irritated my skin and left me with a big round red patch in November. 4 months later I still had the redness, hotness and tiny white pimples so I decided to try ice because I bought quite a few products and nothing seemed to work but the the ice made it worse omg and nothing seems to help. My skin is hot, red and the area is filled with white tiny little pimples. Just got aloe Vera yesterday to try. Im stressed as hell
I'm a 50 year old man, and I suddenly started getting acne about 5 months ago; specifically on my forehead and cheeks. I've tried everything from changing products out (I'm using hyaluronic acid, niacinamide + zinc, salicylic acid and bakuchiol), changing my diet, taking vitamins (inc zinc) and probiotics. Most help for 40+ people seems to be aimed at women with hormonal acne, and I don't know where to turn for help. It's really getting me down. Your videos have been really helpful, but nothing is working. I've stopped using Trilogy Rosehip Oil and I *think* it might be making things worse, but I used to be able to use it nightly. Not sure if I'm damaging my skin...
Hi Cassandra. I have been seeing your videos from a long time. I am a person who has been facing acne on back, chest and face. I have spent a lot of money in making my skin better but nothing is working. I am from India so I really don’t know whether the products you suggest would work on my skin. I’m in grave need of your help. Would appreciate if you revert. Lots of love to you❤️
I've had a nasty cold and my nose won't stop running therefore constantly blowing my nose has left the skin under it extremely raw. So now I'll be using a lot of aquaphor to help heal my skin barrier
Whenever I have a cold or my allergies act up I slather Cerave Healing Ointment or Vasoline under my nose especially before blowing. Helps prevent friction burn and also moisturizes. It’s a God send.
Hi Cassandra! I am a person of color (brown person) and would like to know if most of your skincare advices are applicable to people of color as well? As certain products most American dermatologists on TH-cam suggest are suitable for white people.
Hi Cassandra i know you must get these messages a lot but I really need some advice for my skincare. I have been using KylieSkin products for years with no issues and i suddenly switched to the ordinary and cerave cleanser because it is more affordable and i wanted to try something new. Ever since I started using the cerave (cream to foam cleanser for normal to dry skin) and the ordinary hyaluronic acid i have red inflamed acne on my right side of face. I have combination skin and haven’t had problems with acne before. I did think it was purging but my skin has been bad for months and is sore. Do you know anymore affordable options i could try? Thank you if you see this❤️ much love!
Same happened to me and for my combo skin, cerave was too gentle and not cleansing enough. I switched to k-beauty and my acne disappeared. I currently use the Super Matcha Pore Clean cleanser from Some By Mi. Ok price, you only need a little and it doesn't dry out your skin even if it's very cleansing.
How about niacinimide from the ordinary? It burns a bit at first. Even the la roche posay cicaplast balm ppl use to repair the skin barrier burns initially. Idk if I should continue to use it
I have been suffering from post inflammatory erythema for about 2 months now after damaging my skin barrier by adding so many actives in my routine. Does anyone know how much longer does it take for the skin barrier to heal? I get the occasional cyst here and there, but I don't really have that much active acne going on anymore.
Can you do a video on the best k beauty products for acne and combination skin but will also give that glassy glow! Also vegan and cruelty free sorry I know this is a lot you are obligated to not do this but just wanted to ask also if possible biodegradable or glass
I need some help… i live in asia and the water here is softer than tap water in europe. Every time i travel to the EU I get rashes and bumps all over my face, i figured this must have been from the tapwater i was using since i didnt change my routine at all. They weren’t pimples, they were like allergy bumps. Some days it would get itchy to the point where it would give me alot of pain. Basically, this summer i’m going to europe and I have to find a way to avoid these allergies again. Not sure how since it’s coming from something out of mg control, anyone have tips?
You may want to see a derm and be evaluated for a skin condition like rosacea. That is exactly what my little pustules are like when I have a really bad flare (I'm dx'd with both rosacea and eczema, and I also have a connective tissue disorder) and I've had them last close to a year. They are awful and can hurt like a teeny tiny white hot needle, almost. Ugh.
@@Kimmaline oh okay thank you so much but is it still rosacea if I’ve never got anything like this before? My skin got irritated from using the paula’s choice bha and that’s when I got all this redness and tiny little pimples so still rosacea?
Who goes to a doctor for a cut or burn or blister, unless I am bleeding out I just put on a bandaid and some Neosporin. I really like the liquid bandages. Too bad they don’t have anything for scars from surgery or stretch marks that actually seems to work. Blisters are nasty.
@@georgethirty4632 Old and new! Short story: I've always been plus size so I developed stretch marks already in my early teens. Then, about a year ago, I was prescribed a steroid at the highest dose and I gained 30 pounds in like one month. Then it turned out I was allergic to it and my stomach expanded to the point where I looked almost ready to pop pregnant. A lot of new stretch marks and very red, angry new ones. I've used bio oil forever but have never had the red gashes. But man did that stuff work miracles! Shrank them and now there's just ones maybe a shade off my regular skin color. Unless you look close you can't even see them anymore!
First of all my skin cannot tolerate any acids at all .. like none Not even the lighter versions like AHA etc … even those create reactions Then I get hives Now the hives are in my face & neck mostly (that’s right I can’t put NOTHING on it no more 😭) Oh & I’m in Canada so like it’s a year wait to see a dermatologist here
@@austinclark007 Thanks but your suggestion tells me you’ve never suffered with hives. It’s been 4 months non stop eyelids & neck & rest of body get ridiculously itchy & currently taking equivalent of 4 x 24 hour reactin anti histamine daily & irs still gets itchy & swollen … LOL.. I know I had no idea this condition existed before it happened to me :(
@@catherinedesilets8960 I'm also Canadian and in Dec 2014 I had mild hives on my chest and arms for a few days upon visiting the UK. The calamine lotion provided relief. I visited the doctor who asked me to research the trigger. I couldn't determine exactly what it was but I suspect it was a reaction to a food foreign to my system. Luckily, it cleared up shortly afterwards. I'm in the UK again and have learned it can take a couple of months to be referred to a dermatologist so I feel your pain. I'm currently struggling with a weakened skin barrier which has led to a secondary problem for which I was prescribed a topical medication. It is slowly working. The GPs focus on life threatening conditions so they are less interested in pursuing other ailments. If I don't see any healing of my skin barrier I will consult a private dermatologist which is quite expensive here, £250 - £400 just for the initial appointment and even then you have to hope that the one you get can help you. A clinic with a team of dermatologists might be best so they transfer you to the individual most qualified to deal with your condition. I don't know if that is an option for you in Canada. I wish I was back there because I never had skin issues except some mild teenage acne. I hope you get the help you need and that you get better soon.
Great video! I have been using Tretinoin for almost 6 months, and really struggling to find a moisturizer that is right for my skin. I have bought so many, but they’re just not good ones, compatible with my skin. CeraVe is too thick, greasy and gave me a couple pimples, I’m desperately trying to avoid. I want one that’s silky, not too thick, but not a water cream. One that gives my face a silky bounce, and skin lightening, even out my skin tone. And…preferably not over 50 bucks. I’ve tried all the drugstore brands, Olay, Elf, L’Oréal, Neutragena, The Ordinary, etc…. with no success. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? When I find one on Sephora or Ulta that has ingredients I’m interested in, they’re outrageously priced. I’m getting so frustrated. 😩 What is a good moisturizer, comparable/a dupe to high-end, with a lot of great ingredients, at a good price? I’m so tired of searching online, and reading ingredients every freaking day 😩
I've been doing tretinoin for about the same time and have found that the korean moisturisers have been the best for me, if you buy from stylevana they are super cheap and beautiful soothing ingredients without being heavy, and often have niacinamide and licorice root (brightening) ingredients. The rovectin lotus water cream is simple but beautiful ingredients, or cosrx, or klairs. I also use the la roche posay cicaplast balm when I've gone too hard on the tretinoin, it's thick but heals the skin super quick. Good luck :)
Are we certain we aren't related? I have dermatographia, I, too have a tactile, not systemic latex allergy, I'm also allergic to most adhesives! We need a DNA test😂 (also, a bit clutzy, ADHD AF😁)Have a safe week💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋
Maybe we're cousins! My mom and I are allergic to bandage adhesives too. The last time I got a tattoo, the allergic rash I got from the tape took longer to heal than the actual tattoo!

Yes avoid actives when your skin is compromised. They make your skin feel drier even at the best of times 😅

I have spent a lot of money in making my skin better but nothing is working. I am from India so I really don’t know whether the products you suggest would work on my skin. I’m in grave need of your help. Would appreciate if you revert. Lots of love to you❤️
Any update
I've had a nasty cold and my nose won't stop running therefore constantly blowing my nose has left the skin under it extremely raw. So now I'll be using a lot of aquaphor to help heal my skin barrier
Whenever I have a cold or my allergies act up I slather Cerave Healing Ointment or Vasoline under my nose especially before blowing. Helps prevent friction burn and also moisturizes. It’s a God send.
Cassie you are amazing and gorgeous
can you review the biossance probiotic gel moisturizer?
I like your eyes 💜
Hi Cassandra!
I am a person of color (brown person) and would like to know if most of your skincare advices are applicable to people of color as well? As certain products most American dermatologists on TH-cam suggest are suitable for white people.
Hi Cassandra i know you must get these messages a lot but I really need some advice for my skincare. I have been using KylieSkin products for years with no issues and i suddenly switched to the ordinary and cerave cleanser because it is more affordable and i wanted to try something new. Ever since I started using the cerave (cream to foam cleanser for normal to dry skin) and the ordinary hyaluronic acid i have red inflamed acne on my right side of face. I have combination skin and haven’t had problems with acne before. I did think it was purging but my skin has been bad for months and is sore. Do you know anymore affordable options i could try? Thank you if you see this❤️ much love!
Same happened to me and for my combo skin, cerave was too gentle and not cleansing enough. I switched to k-beauty and my acne disappeared. I currently use the Super Matcha Pore Clean cleanser from Some By Mi. Ok price, you only need a little and it doesn't dry out your skin even if it's very cleansing.
Did y'all see it? Cassandra mooned us all in this vid!
Can you please review OPI repair mode!?
Cassie you're amazing 💖
I had ipl done yesterday for facial hair. Woke up today with burn blisters on my jaw line ands chin.
For acne prone sensitive skin - do you still standby the pure Castile soap plus a drop of tea tree oil?
And I hate to think how many times I've burned my forehead while curling my bangs with my curling iron.
How about niacinimide from the ordinary? It burns a bit at first. Even the la roche posay cicaplast balm ppl use to repair the skin barrier burns initially. Idk if I should continue to use it
I'm surprised she didnt recommend klairs vitamin c serum, does she not like it anymore?
how long to repair please tell me its been over a month i cant stop crying everyday
I have been suffering from post inflammatory erythema for about 2 months now after damaging my skin barrier by adding so many actives in my routine. Does anyone know how much longer does it take for the skin barrier to heal? I get the occasional cyst here and there, but I don't really have that much active acne going on anymore.
is solimo compatible with aging acne prone oily skin?
Yes I save the memes!! Theyre the best 💖
Hey cassandra could you review minimalist from india it has really affordable and has some very good formulation
Sunscreen has definitely been an important part of my everyday routine. I just wish I was smart enough to do it when I was younger….lol.
Yeah, retinol... Love it but it does do the skin barrier damage
Love the Monty Python clip lol 😂🤣
OMG I need this video
Can you do a video on the best k beauty products for acne and combination skin but will also give that glassy glow! Also vegan and cruelty free sorry I know this is a lot you are obligated to not do this but just wanted to ask also if possible biodegradable or glass
Is that the cup from the Barisieur?! 😀
Hi! Do you have any advice in what products can I use to protect my scalp under the sun (other than using a hat). Thank you!!
thank you
I have had cellulitis before from a cat bite. My cat got a bit too rough playing with me. It was terrible.
I thought you gonna mention about tea tree, centella, Artemisia :(
I burned my face with hair removal cream years ago!!😫😫😫
Omg 😳 I have done that too. It hurts 😭
But what if the sunburn "stayes" and has kept the skin burned (pigmentation) on my body.
My skin barrier hasn’t healed after over 3 months :( I haven’t exfoliated since the incident and I haven’t seen redness improvement
In the same boat, Any improvements?
@@tajammalsaleem8803 stop using everything. Use just water
@Brian you just stopped using everything and your skin got better? I'm in the same boat rn
@@spencermartinson2881 dude yes. Literally nothing for a few months will clear it
I have had cellulitis twice.
What do you think of real cica 92 from some by mi
I need some help… i live in asia and the water here is softer than tap water in europe. Every time i travel to the EU I get rashes and bumps all over my face, i figured this must have been from the tapwater i was using since i didnt change my routine at all. They weren’t pimples, they were like allergy bumps. Some days it would get itchy to the point where it would give me alot of pain. Basically, this summer i’m going to europe and I have to find a way to avoid these allergies again. Not sure how since it’s coming from something out of mg control, anyone have tips?
What exactly is EGF?
I’ve had my redness, hotness and tiny little white pimples for 6months. Will these ever go?
You may want to see a derm and be evaluated for a skin condition like rosacea. That is exactly what my little pustules are like when I have a really bad flare (I'm dx'd with both rosacea and eczema, and I also have a connective tissue disorder) and I've had them last close to a year. They are awful and can hurt like a teeny tiny white hot needle, almost. Ugh.
@@Kimmaline oh okay thank you so much but is it still rosacea if I’ve never got anything like this before? My skin got irritated from using the paula’s choice bha and that’s when I got all this redness and tiny little pimples so still rosacea?
Do you’re saying our skins are like ogres and have layers
Aquaphor. I call it "the moisturizer of last resort." (This is a reference to the Federal Reserve's role as "the lender of last resort." I'm a nerd.)
Who goes to a doctor for a cut or burn or blister, unless I am bleeding out I just put on a bandaid and some Neosporin. I really like the liquid bandages. Too bad they don’t have anything for scars from surgery or stretch marks that actually seems to work. Blisters are nasty.
Always spot test even with prescriptions from the doctor! Some things can literally cause your skin to peel off!
As far as scars and stretch marks, Bio oil has helped me a lot!
@@jennaloesch for new stretch marks or old ones? Does it help only to prevent them or once they have formed?
@@georgethirty4632 Old and new! Short story: I've always been plus size so I developed stretch marks already in my early teens. Then, about a year ago, I was prescribed a steroid at the highest dose and I gained 30 pounds in like one month. Then it turned out I was allergic to it and my stomach expanded to the point where I looked almost ready to pop pregnant. A lot of new stretch marks and very red, angry new ones. I've used bio oil forever but have never had the red gashes. But man did that stuff work miracles! Shrank them and now there's just ones maybe a shade off my regular skin color. Unless you look close you can't even see them anymore!
Sis’ drop it RIGHT NOW or I’m suing. 👨⚖️
First of all my skin cannot tolerate any acids at all .. like none
Not even the lighter versions like AHA etc … even those create reactions
Then I get hives
Now the hives are in my face & neck mostly (that’s right I can’t put NOTHING on it no more 😭)
Oh & I’m in Canada so like it’s a year wait to see a dermatologist here
Try calamine lotion.
@@austinclark007
Thanks but your suggestion tells me you’ve never suffered with hives. It’s been 4 months non stop eyelids & neck & rest of body get ridiculously itchy & currently taking equivalent of 4 x 24 hour reactin anti histamine daily & irs still gets itchy & swollen …
LOL.. I know I had no idea this condition existed before it happened to me :(
@@catherinedesilets8960 I'm also Canadian and in Dec 2014 I had mild hives on my chest and arms for a few days upon visiting the UK. The calamine lotion provided relief. I visited the doctor who asked me to research the trigger. I couldn't determine exactly what it was but I suspect it was a reaction to a food foreign to my system. Luckily, it cleared up shortly afterwards. I'm in the UK again and have learned it can take a couple of months to be referred to a dermatologist so I feel your pain. I'm currently struggling with a weakened skin barrier which has led to a secondary problem for which I was prescribed a topical medication. It is slowly working. The GPs focus on life threatening conditions so they are less interested in pursuing other ailments. If I don't see any healing of my skin barrier I will consult a private dermatologist which is quite expensive here, £250 - £400 just for the initial appointment and even then you have to hope that the one you get can help you. A clinic with a team of dermatologists might be best so they transfer you to the individual most qualified to deal with your condition. I don't know if that is an option for you in Canada. I wish I was back there because I never had skin issues except some mild teenage acne. I hope you get the help you need and that you get better soon.
I'm just super clumsy and I'm tall while my family is short so my legs look like a blueberry patch
My sis latex allergy is so bad her skin will start to peel
My skin has been irritated for 2 years
Cassandraaaaaa, you’re amazing but please think of the misophonia sufferers out here each time you slurp in your videos 😩
I damaged my skin barrier and I am using so many face creams and my skin drinks it up lol
Great video! I have been using Tretinoin for almost 6 months, and really struggling to find a moisturizer that is right for my skin. I have bought so many, but they’re just not good ones, compatible with my skin. CeraVe is too thick, greasy and gave me a couple pimples, I’m desperately trying to avoid. I want one that’s silky, not too thick, but not a water cream. One that gives my face a silky bounce, and skin lightening, even out my skin tone. And…preferably not over 50 bucks. I’ve tried all the drugstore brands, Olay, Elf, L’Oréal, Neutragena, The Ordinary, etc…. with no success. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? When I find one on Sephora or Ulta that has ingredients I’m interested in, they’re outrageously priced. I’m getting so frustrated. 😩 What is a good moisturizer, comparable/a dupe to high-end, with a lot of great ingredients, at a good price? I’m so tired of searching online, and reading ingredients every freaking day 😩
Look into Stratia skin and their moisturizer Liquid gold!
I've been doing tretinoin for about the same time and have found that the korean moisturisers have been the best for me, if you buy from stylevana they are super cheap and beautiful soothing ingredients without being heavy, and often have niacinamide and licorice root (brightening) ingredients. The rovectin lotus water cream is simple but beautiful ingredients, or cosrx, or klairs. I also use the la roche posay cicaplast balm when I've gone too hard on the tretinoin, it's thick but heals the skin super quick. Good luck :)
Try Somethinc Ceramic Skin Saviour
Are we certain we aren't related? I have dermatographia, I, too have a tactile, not systemic latex allergy, I'm also allergic to most adhesives! We need a DNA test😂 (also, a bit clutzy, ADHD AF😁)Have a safe week💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋
Maybe we're cousins! My mom and I are allergic to bandage adhesives too. The last time I got a tattoo, the allergic rash I got from the tape took longer to heal than the actual tattoo!

Latex touched your skin and it caused a burn that bad!?
FYI The Ordinary was bought by Estée Lauder :-/ no longer fully cruelty free :-(
