Always helpful and informative, Doctors never explain things like this to you. They just medicate you and say thats normal :/ ....would you ever come out with a "acne prone" skin care line? Would love if you did, you are more honest and compassionate about this topic than other skin care companies. Thank you for being true to yourself and for wanting to help others!
Lucky. It made my acne a thousand times worse lol just proves not everyone's skin is the same and what works for one doesn't mean it will work for all.
Every time I use coconut oil at night I wake up with beautiful skin but all these people in the internet say it’s bad but I don’t know I also use rosehip oil with tea tree oil but I feel like it’s too thick
i really really appreciate your effort to research all these complicated stuff and share it with us in the most comprehensible way. lots of love from Singapore❤
priya bijarniya hello, I used it to remove my makeup. I would then use my cleanser. After, I would re apply some coconut oil and leave it on my skin for about 10 mins. Then rinse off and continue with moisturizer. I hope this helps and hope it will work for you.
I thought Coconut oil would break me out but it’s made my skin so soft over the last month. My lips are soft , I’m shocked I didn’t break out. I’m using cold-pressed virgin unrefined . I ordered it on Amazon . It’s better than anything I’ve ever used !!!
I’ve been using coconut oil on my acne for the past 30 days - I was really skepticism at first - but this really works!! I’ve had some deep scars for years and recent acne as well as pimples that just won’t leave ☹️ - but ever since I’ve used coconut oil, most of my scars have left and healed leaving a fresh new layer of skin and made my skin more radiant and actually decreased my pores!! I’m so happy!! 🥰🥰🥰 Edit: skeptical**
I used coconut oil all over my skin when I was pregnant (my body, not my face). It seemed to sit on top more so than you'd think. It did not cause body acne though and it was definitely an act of self-care/baby-care.
@@fouzalanazi1617 dunno if it's too late But I like to apply to my face at night(place a wet, warm clean washcloth on my face for 5 mins), leave it on till morning, wash with face wash, use a Moisturizer annnd your done🤗 Hope this helps lov
From puberty until my 65 I had all kind of acné, pimples, black points and so on. I started keto/carnivore 5 years ago, but after a few months my skin was perfect, without any issue. When I cheat on carbs/sugar, I have the guarantee that the next day one or two pimples will appear as a sign to me: eat a proper human diet!!! Ommit all the products and complicated actions and get healthy real food!
It’s like you read my mind Cassandra! I used coconut oil as a makeup remover and it broke me out terribly...I personally prefer oils like squalene from The Ordinary 💜 i love your videos bc they actually provide helpful advice on acne and the science behind it
I struggled with acne even as an adult. I tried all kinds of expensive treatments until I came upon a post on using coconut oil. I was skeptical as my face was always oil but I decided to try. After one week I saw improvement. It's now my staple moisturizer at night. I no longer have to deal with acne. Many people compliment me on my skin. They always ask what I use and my reply VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. Now I'm not saying it's best for everyone but I can proudly say it works for me.
@@mamtaarora7174 I have oily skin. But the coconut oil seems to control how much oil my face us producing and I definitely do not get breakout. I once tried rosehip oil but it did not agree with my face. Started to break out. Again it all boils too what works for you.
I've been wondering about this for soooo long now.. And the answer was SO much more complicated than I ever thought it could be. Thank you for posting! 🤗👌
So far the most informative and balanced video out there. I break out badly from any coconut products. Even if they never touch my skin. My most recent horrendous breakout came from using an activate charcoal teeth cleaning powder that contained coconut oil in it. I’m getting massive painful pimples all over my chest and shoulders and upper back from it. My face isn’t affected. This time. I’ve taken unrefined and unbleached coconut oil on an empty stomach before and it dropped my sugar levels from the 90’s to the 50’s in half an hour. Apple cider,l vinegar, raw mushrooms, wheat grass shots, Aloe vera juice and cilantro all have a similar affect on my sugar but I’m not aware of it affecting my acne. There is a mechanism here that I’m missing. Just haven’t figured it out. But somehow it’s affected by the fact that I have a special condition of hyperinsulinemia caused by a neuroendocrine tumor on my pancreas called an insulinoma. A tumor that makes insulin. 10 times the normal amount. I’m trying to figure out the science behind how all of these react the way they do.
I use coconut almost daily with my oily skin it doesnot cause breakouts infact reduces inflammation of acne and helps to remove spots on face just apply few drops of it on face goes a long way and make sure your face is clean before applying it.
@@kritikachakraborty583 It works for me I do apply it sometimes its good for dry and normal skins. But if you have acne-prone skin I think you should minimize usage and target treating your acne and then when your skin gets normal you can continue using it.
People need to understand that not everyone have the same skin type, with that being said coconut oil actually helped stop my acne breakouts for good and is slowly fading my acne scars.Skin care is trial and error you just have to figure out what works best for your skin.
Can you make a similar video for oils to put in the hair (split ends as well as roots)? Which oil dries the hair out even more? Which oil actually penetrates and moisturises dry hair?
so the other thing I just wanted to make sure that I say is cetearyl alcohol and most of the emulsifying wax is are also coconut derivatives so a lot of times lotions that claim to be oil-free still use that impulsive fire and can clog your pores and actually capric triglyceride doesn't tend to clog pores because it's very liquid oil so just because someone can use that in their foundation doesn't mean that they can use like cold pressed or virgin. I think the general consensus is if you have acne prone skin let's go for a different oil than coconut because MCT is not the same thing as coconut it's been refined so it's only the liquid portion. I think if someone is having issues with clogged pores especially little bumps that never come up to a head they should try removing cetearyl alcohol especially. I love this post seriously you need this there's such a lack of education.
I LOVE the science-side of skin care that you so effortlessly share! You have come so far Cassandra, we are all so proud of you and thankful for the help you freely lend to others!
I had been putting coconut oil on at night and left it till morning and honestly it feels great and you can see little improvement but it makes you break out after a couple days very bad. Safer options are aloe Vera or tea tree oil
Whenever coconut oil gets anywhere near my face, I break out in that exact area the next day. I made a lip scrub with coconut oil the other day, washed it off really well with soap (my usual facewash) and got a breakout all down my chin. Haven't watched the video yet but am interested to learn more.
When I use coconut oil, I get little bumps all over my forehead and my chin. Maybe it works for others but for me I try to stay away from it 😔 but it is a godsend for my hair though 🙌
It could be the sebaceous gland aka the pore with obviously no hair and when coconut oil penetrates it clogs the pore creating the moisture that keeps the hydration in if you keep using it your skin will develop to it remember the majority of times you use skincare products you need to let your skin get used to the reactions sometimes which causes breakouts then it goes away hopefully that helped the same happened to me under me lips on my chin and forehead like no spots just blocked pores
I’ve been working in esthetics for 9 yrs I was always told never to use coconut oil. I have suffered from hormonal acne my entire life, used the MOST expensive skincare brands, and constantly prescribed medications from dermatologist. Nothing worked until I broke my skincare down to cleanser, coconut oil, moisturizer, and sunscreen. And it’s literally changed my life my acne was gone in a couple of days and my scars have faded within a couple of weeks. It’s not for everyone but it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot. Btw I have SUPER oily skin.
@@JesusChrist2000BC I use the coconut oil to remove my makeup first, then I cleanse, then on damp skin I use a water gel moisturizer and then apply coconut oil on top of that, once that absorbs I apply my sunscreen.
coconut oil and teatree oil 50 /50 mixed together is the secret. the coconut oil is just a good carrier oil...mct oil is even better at getting the antioxidant properties of the teatree oil deeper into the skin. it works.
Each human is different exactly! Depends on what you eat your lifestyle also depends on how your skin reacts to things you put on it. Not every product is made correctly not every product is made the same and not every product uses ingredients that fit your body.
When I used coconut oil on my body to moisturize it dried it out instead. By breasts had a slight leathery look to it, I swear! As soon as I stopped using it, my skin regained its suppleness.
Destroyed my skin, clogged every pore in my face. And I even had great skin at that time! So, ladies and gents, I wouldnt recommend it unless you wanna risk breakouts. It's not worth it. Great, informative video, Cassandra!
omg cassandra, your videos are THE MOST complete and at the same time easy to comprehend on the whooole internet. stay awesome! lots of love from a brazilian fan fighting adult acne
I have been following your channel for so long and you inspire me so much. You are so intelligent, kind, and inspiring. I love knowing the science of things and I’m so happy someone actually makes videos like this. Thank you ❤️❤️ never stop making cool science videos!!
Theres more amazing oils gentle for the skin and help fade scars, hyperpigmentation and heal acne. I dont recommend coconut oil for acne prone and/or sensitive skin. No way!!!
You are right, it is not necessarily mean for coconut oil to cause acne. I use coconut oil as my first cleanse followed by with surfactant based cleanser, I have acne prone skin and I am fine with it.
My cousin suggested it as a makeup remover she has normal skin and so I did iv never had an issue with it. Because it’s moisturising I find if anything it’s helped my skin because even though I’m washing it off it’s not drying my skin out more
So, I specifically formulate skincare for acne-prone skin and I started doing so a little over six years ago because my own skin was so bad. The short version is while some people with acne can use coconut oil about 95% break out from it. The issue is the fatty acid profile and the temperature variation because some of the fatty acids become solid at a temperature that your skin sometimes reaches if you live in a cooler region it's very easy for it to resolidify on your skin and actually clog your pores because of that as well. for many customers using coconut in a body application is fine because there isn't as much poor opening and closing throughout the day as there is on your face for whatever reason we tend to have more variation in temperature on our face. I have been doing this for 6 years I only use natiral ingredients and I can tell you, if you have acne and you are interested in using an oil for it by a bottle of nutiva hemp seed oil or low oleic sunflower oil or even avocado or grapeseed before you look at Coconut if you just love the idea of using coconut oil try it as a body moisturizer instead of on your face. Last but not least fractionated coconut oil or MCT is a safe version that people can use no matter what their skin type. my concern is because it's spring there may be people that can use coconut oil right now and then as the weather gets cooler they'll have breakouts and they won't understand what's going on I've seen it happen multiple times. I'm not disagreeing with your premise you're not wrong the comedicscale is crap, but the temperature scale doesn't lie if an oil get solid or cloudy in the fridge it typically clogs pores there are some more refined versions of oils that typically clog my pores but the refined version has those fatty acids removed whether ingredient clogs your pores or not has much more to do with the fatty acid profile than anything else.
And because I love you I think your skin would really really love maracuja like a pure form of maracuja cold pressed at the very least or Sacha inchi. hemp seed oil is a given and I think I've seen one of your videos about hemp but both of those other two oils are light so can quickly have omega 3 6 and 9 and are soothing an anti-inflammatory
Good Morning Beautiful ☀️☕️🎶. At 59 years old I purchased the virgin, organic and unrefined coconut oil. I never imagined that I would love it so much. After MOHS SURGERY and surgery to repair-I will NEVER be without sunscreen!! I use a waterproof, tinted sunscreen and Coconut 🥥 Oil is my absolute favorite first cleanse!! Thank You for your Knowledge, Cassandra! I love you 😘
Please make a series to talk about low impact skincare routines and options. How to replace cotton. Create less waste. What less proceded ingredients we can use or blend ourselves. Thank u!
i had combination skin (acne prone) and i apply virgin coconut oil on my face. well several days after that i realize that my tzone have less sebum. also i not encounter any breakout or itchy symptom.
I also have a combination skin. I used it for couple of days and my acne became dry and rough. Like as if they are going to fall off. It definitely moisturize my skin but If I don’t apply it my skin becomes dry.
I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and believe me, it works so much better than any cleansing balm or makeup remover. Its the first step in my double cleaning routine
I used coconut oil as a post shower moisturizer back in 2016. At some point around that time i started developing dark spots and what i perceived to be acne on my back. I loved its effect on my overall body but disconinued use because of the issues with my back. Ive never had any skin issues so, after reading about it being comedogenic, i just attributed it to the coconut oil. Im going to give it another go. Still dealing with back issues all these years later. Nothing works. So it can only get better, not worse.
I went on a limb here and I bought coconut oil, I use it to shave my legs. I used it on my hair, big mistake lol! The next day it made my hair look like greasy! But I learned that since I put it on wet hair, it made it look like that. My coworker told me that she uses it to remove her makeup and it works.
this is a year later lol but coconut oil works wonders on ur hair. u should apply it to your hair before u wash it and leave it in for at least an hour (overnight works great too). after an hour or something wash it of THOROUGHLY u might need to shampoo twice. hope this helps lmao
There is a professor from university of freiburg she says that coconut is pure poison. The video of this professor went viral in germany. Now i am really scared to use coconut oil.
MakeupCapricorn I looked it up and it’s just saying that it has too much saturated fat to be healthy: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/food/2018/aug/22/coconut-oil-is-pure-poison-says-harvard-professor
Wow I learned so much about coconut oil I never even knew about! I am very surprised, and now know not to pay too much attention to it. Thank you so much Cassandra! You always have such informative and entertaining videos! 💫💫💫
Its important to wash the coconut oil in the morning and night wash the face well with cleanser to not get clogged pores its known to remove wrinkles too lately my moisturizes has been weighting down my eyelids so i started using serum and coconut oil on top
I always learn something new from you Cassandra. Thank you so much! I'm sorry if life is being difficult honey. I will keep you and your Grandmother and kitty in my thoughts. You are a beautiful soul and you are loved.💕💕😽
I noticed that the coconut oil just sat on my skin when I tried using it as a moisturizer- now I understand why! Thank you so much for this! I'm sticking with aloe and a basic moisturizer for my face (which looks better than ever these days), and saving the coconut oil for my hair and scalp. The only time I use it on my face anymore is to remove makeup, or cleanse my skin instead of using a cleaser/soap and water. I try to limit water on my face as much as possible, and haven't used a cleanser/soap since I don't remember when lol Before I shower, I put it on my face to keep water from getting onto my skin. Then I remove it after my shower with some homemade wipes that I made. My skin feels soft, hydrated and looks and feels the best it's ever been (I have a very rough face-skin history).
Hello Cassandra, I love your info videos, so much useful learning. I'm 68 years young, a born again teenager and have used coconut oil on whole body for many years but this year I have have a mild form of acne and I have never had acne in my life before. So to encourage you sweetheart and thank you for bringing your knowledge to us is fantastic. I have watched your video on types of oil to use and that is a great help to me, so thank you and bless you. I will now patiently await my ordered oils. 🧡👍🇬🇧😀
Coconut oil does break me out..but really it just helps the existing spots which were going to come out to reach the surface and then once heeled my skin is clear..
Thank you for sharing!! I used coconut oil for quite some time and i started breaking out .. however an updated skin care routine video would be great 😁
It works for some ppl at the same time doesnt work others. I am not really a big fan of coconut oil as it did nothing to my face but on my mum's face it works wonders
Can you do a video on spf and foundation’s that are coconut oil free entirely. It breaks me out, I end up trying natural products that have it in them and don’t realize till after I have purchased it. Your videos are so helpful to me thank you 😊💕
Enjoy your videos and energy! I used coconut oil for the first time several months ago and experienced break out so rather than tossing it out, I am using it on my hands and legs. I don't use makeup so never knew until recently when I went on skincare, oils, serums binge.
I broke out in HORRIBLE hives a couple weeks ago I began taking lots of allergy medicine and prednisone. My skin was so dry but I was terrified to use anything because I don’t know what’s causing my hives. I started using nothing but pure unrefined coconut oil on my wet skin after shower and I have seen such a POSITIVE change in my skin! I was afraid to use it on my face but it’s been great. I do have dry non acne prone skin. I only get an occasional pimple during my period but it’s been better with coconut oil!
Just fyi those wipes contain phenoxyethanol, an endocrine disruptor used in 50% or more of cosmetic supplies. (Check your bottles. 🙂) The more exposure you have to that ingredient in your products, the more it affects your endrocrine system (in other words, your hormones).

Nothing worked until I broke my skincare down to cleanser, coconut oil, moisturizer, and sunscreen. And it’s literally changed my life my acne was gone in a couple of days and my scars have faded within a couple of weeks. It’s not for everyone but it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot. Btw I have SUPER oily skin.
How did u use the coconut oil
When and how do you apply these? In what order?
@@JesusChrist2000BC I use the coconut oil to remove my makeup first, then I cleanse, then on damp skin I use a water gel moisturizer and then apply coconut oil on top of that, once that absorbs I apply my sunscreen.
I think it's different for everyone. I finally got rid of my acne , then started using coconut oil again and broke out like crazy
You are such a good teacher ! Your videos are very informative . I've been following you for years now .
I always learn something new from you! Can you ever stop being so so helpful and generous 😍❤️
Coconut oil works on me ❤️
My experience with coconut oil wasn’t good at all. It clogs my face completely. Instead fell great and moisture I feel massive clogged texture
coconut oil and teatree oil 50 /50 mixed together is the secret. the coconut oil is just a good carrier oil...mct oil is even better at getting the antioxidant properties of the teatree oil deeper into the skin. it works.
Each human is different exactly! Depends on what you eat your lifestyle also depends on how your skin reacts to things you put on it. Not every product is made correctly not every product is made the same and not every product uses ingredients that fit your body.
When I used coconut oil on my body to moisturize it dried it out instead. By breasts had a slight leathery look to it, I swear! As soon as I stopped using it, my skin regained its suppleness.
Destroyed my skin, clogged every pore in my face. And I even had great skin at that time! So, ladies and gents, I wouldnt recommend it unless you wanna risk breakouts. It's not worth it. Great, informative video, Cassandra!
omg cassandra, your videos are THE MOST complete and at the same time easy to comprehend on the whooole internet. stay awesome! lots of love from a brazilian fan fighting adult acne
I have been following your channel for so long and you inspire me so much. You are so intelligent, kind, and inspiring. I love knowing the science of things and I’m so happy someone actually makes videos like this. Thank you ❤️❤️ never stop making cool science videos!!
Amazing video! Now I know why coconut oil works amazingly for my Mum and why it make me break out! I guess I need to have a little chat with my Dad...
9:25 most important part for using coconut oil the right way
Great video Cass. I plan to eat my coconut oil and use it to remove makeup. Thanks for sharing.
My face looks better after putting it on.
Theres more amazing oils gentle for the skin and help fade scars, hyperpigmentation and heal acne. I dont recommend coconut oil for acne prone and/or sensitive skin. No way!!!
If I even look at coconut oil I break out SOOO badly! Deep, painful, inflamed bumps everywhere. My favorite oils are hempseed and rosehip oil.
You are right, it is not necessarily mean for coconut oil to cause acne. I use coconut oil as my first cleanse followed by with surfactant based cleanser, I have acne prone skin and I am fine with it.
My cousin suggested it as a makeup remover she has normal skin and so I did iv never had an issue with it. Because it’s moisturising I find if anything it’s helped my skin because even though I’m washing it off it’s not drying my skin out more
So, I specifically formulate skincare for acne-prone skin and I started doing so a little over six years ago because my own skin was so bad. The short version is while some people with acne can use coconut oil about 95% break out from it. The issue is the fatty acid profile and the temperature variation because some of the fatty acids become solid at a temperature that your skin sometimes reaches if you live in a cooler region it's very easy for it to resolidify on your skin and actually clog your pores because of that as well. for many customers using coconut in a body application is fine because there isn't as much poor opening and closing throughout the day as there is on your face for whatever reason we tend to have more variation in temperature on our face. I have been doing this for 6 years I only use natiral ingredients and I can tell you, if you have acne and you are interested in using an oil for it by a bottle of nutiva hemp seed oil or low oleic sunflower oil or even avocado or grapeseed before you look at Coconut if you just love the idea of using coconut oil try it as a body moisturizer instead of on your face. Last but not least fractionated coconut oil or MCT is a safe version that people can use no matter what their skin type. my concern is because it's spring there may be people that can use coconut oil right now and then as the weather gets cooler they'll have breakouts and they won't understand what's going on I've seen it happen multiple times. I'm not disagreeing with your premise you're not wrong the comedicscale is crap, but the temperature scale doesn't lie if an oil get solid or cloudy in the fridge it typically clogs pores there are some more refined versions of oils that typically clog my pores but the refined version has those fatty acids removed whether ingredient clogs your pores or not has much more to do with the fatty acid profile than anything else.
And because I love you I think your skin would really really love maracuja like a pure form of maracuja cold pressed at the very least or Sacha inchi. hemp seed oil is a given and I think I've seen one of your videos about hemp but both of those other two oils are light so can quickly have omega 3 6 and 9 and are soothing an anti-inflammatory
I've been using fractionated coconut oil on my face, body, and hair. I've been enjoying it much more than organic coconut oil.
Good Morning Beautiful ☀️☕️🎶. At 59 years old I purchased the virgin, organic and unrefined coconut oil. I never imagined that I would love it so much. After MOHS SURGERY and surgery to repair-I will NEVER be without sunscreen!! I use a waterproof, tinted sunscreen and Coconut 🥥 Oil is my absolute favorite first cleanse!! Thank You for your Knowledge, Cassandra! I love you 😘
Please make a series to talk about low impact skincare routines and options. How to replace cotton. Create less waste. What less proceded ingredients we can use or blend ourselves. Thank u!
Coconut oil and black seed oil every night and morning reduce my acne and some scars 😊
The science is right as long as it's profitable coconut oil clearly not bringing enough profit
i had combination skin (acne prone) and i apply virgin coconut oil on my face. well several days after that i realize that my tzone have less sebum. also i not encounter any breakout or itchy symptom.
I also have a combination skin. I used it for couple of days and my acne became dry and rough. Like as if they are going to fall off. It definitely moisturize my skin but If I don’t apply it my skin becomes dry.
My holy grail to keep acne gone
I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and believe me, it works so much better than any cleansing balm or makeup remover.
Its the first step in my double cleaning routine
I used coconut oil as a post shower moisturizer back in 2016. At some point around that time i started developing dark spots and what i perceived to be acne on my back. I loved its effect on my overall body but disconinued use because of the issues with my back. Ive never had any skin issues so, after reading about it being comedogenic, i just attributed it to the coconut oil. Im going to give it another go. Still dealing with back issues all these years later. Nothing works. So it can only get better, not worse.
I went on a limb here and I bought coconut oil, I use it to shave my legs. I used it on my hair, big mistake lol! The next day it made my hair look like greasy! But I learned that since I put it on wet hair, it made it look like that. My coworker told me that she uses it to remove her makeup and it works.
this is a year later lol but coconut oil works wonders on ur hair. u should apply it to your hair before u wash it and leave it in for at least an hour (overnight works great too). after an hour or something wash it of THOROUGHLY u might need to shampoo twice. hope this helps lmao
There is a professor from university of freiburg she says that coconut is pure poison. The video of this professor went viral in germany. Now i am really scared to use coconut oil.
Why would it be pure poison? And does that also count for eating something that’s derived from coconut?
MakeupCapricorn I looked it up and it’s just saying that it has too much saturated fat to be healthy: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/food/2018/aug/22/coconut-oil-is-pure-poison-says-harvard-professor
My skin likes coconut oil as an overnight face conditioner.
Wow I learned so much about coconut oil I never even knew about! I am very surprised, and now know not to pay too much attention to it.
Thank you so much Cassandra! You always have such informative and entertaining videos! 💫💫💫
“Does my face look like a rabbit ear?”😂😂 best part
Its important to wash the coconut oil in the morning and night wash the face well with cleanser to not get clogged pores its known to remove wrinkles too lately my moisturizes has been weighting down my eyelids so i started using serum and coconut oil on top
I always learn something new from you Cassandra. Thank you so much! I'm sorry if life is being difficult honey. I will keep you and your Grandmother and kitty in my thoughts. You are a beautiful soul and you are loved.💕💕😽
okay ima try it ! my mom got it for me bc i asked for it.. i was mainly gonna use it for my eyelashes but this looks good
I noticed that the coconut oil just sat on my skin when I tried using it as a moisturizer- now I understand why! Thank you so much for this! I'm sticking with aloe and a basic moisturizer for my face (which looks better than ever these days), and saving the coconut oil for my hair and scalp. The only time I use it on my face anymore is to remove makeup, or cleanse my skin instead of using a cleaser/soap and water. I try to limit water on my face as much as possible, and haven't used a cleanser/soap since I don't remember when lol Before I shower, I put it on my face to keep water from getting onto my skin. Then I remove it after my shower with some homemade wipes that I made. My skin feels soft, hydrated and looks and feels the best it's ever been (I have a very rough face-skin history).
Hello Cassandra, I love your info videos, so much useful learning. I'm 68 years young, a born again teenager and have used coconut oil on whole body for many years but this year I have have a mild form of acne and I have never had acne in my life before. So to encourage you sweetheart and thank you for bringing your knowledge to us is fantastic. I have watched your video on types of oil to use and that is a great help to me, so thank you and bless you. I will now patiently await my ordered oils. 🧡👍🇬🇧😀
Coconut oil does break me out..but really it just helps the existing spots which were going to come out to reach the surface and then once heeled my skin is clear..
Not for everyone. I have gotten couple of acne since after i have began using coconut oil on face
theres an old saying: if you doubt try it out...
Thank you for sharing!! I used coconut oil for quite some time and i started breaking out .. however an updated skin care routine video would be great 😁
Oil clogs pores it will clog them eventually like they did to me I’d suggest salicylic acid wash that’ll save you and safe
A J strangely salicylic acid tears up my skin and has caused my skin to peel and break out. Crazy how complex and nuanced skincare is.
It works for some ppl at the same time doesnt work others. I am not really a big fan of coconut oil as it did nothing to my face but on my mum's face it works wonders
I guess individual skin reacts differently. Are you wearing Moldavite, Cassandra? I love coconut oil as a cleanser. Awesome stuff .
Coconut oil saying it’s comedogenic are old studies and research.
Can you do a video on spf and foundation’s that are coconut oil free entirely. It breaks me out, I end up trying natural products that have it in them and don’t realize till after I have purchased it.
Your videos are so helpful to me thank you 😊💕
Late squad
? Lol I'm new to this channel and I'm loving it
Enjoy your videos and energy! I used coconut oil for the first time several months ago and experienced break out so rather than tossing it out, I am using it on my hands and legs. I don't use makeup so never knew until recently when I went on skincare, oils, serums binge.
Seriously I learn SO much from your videos. Thanks Cassandra! Hope you’re doing well, love you girl! ❤️
The breakout I get from coconut oil is enough for me to know not to use it. It’s almost an instant breakout.
That’s your skin purging. Taking out the future acne to get rid of it.
I broke out in HORRIBLE hives a couple weeks ago I began taking lots of allergy medicine and prednisone. My skin was so dry but I was terrified to use anything because I don’t know what’s causing my hives. I started using nothing but pure unrefined coconut oil on my wet skin after shower and I have seen such a POSITIVE change in my skin! I was afraid to use it on my face but it’s been great. I do have dry non acne prone skin. I only get an occasional pimple during my period but it’s been better with coconut oil!
coconut oil is the best makeup remover but i got clogged pores so i just switched to Neutrogena makeup remover wipes !
Just fyi those wipes contain phenoxyethanol, an endocrine disruptor used in 50% or more of cosmetic supplies. (Check your bottles. 🙂) The more exposure you have to that ingredient in your products, the more it affects your endrocrine system (in other words, your hormones).
You're brilliant! The way you're explaining chemistry is amazing and I love how educational and positive your channel is!
I'm Polynesian and my ancestors used coconut oil
Yes It's work.. But the Oil should be virjin...
Coconut oil breaks me out above the neck: meaning neck, face, scalp, AND my butt. But I use it everywhere else.
Coconut oil was great for around my eyes, not for the rest of my face
Your videos are very informative!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💕🌸❤️ you look naturally gorgeous🌸
I had a feeling it wasn't that simple :D
I am addicted to u and ur personality!! So informative and I have been sp into skin care!!😘
