If you need moisture on your face during a flight, PLEASE use a product that is unscented at least! I have horribly dry skin and I use a thick layer of moisturizer or a sheet mask or a water based mist with no scent. Just remember that this is not a private plane that only you are taking, have mercy on those around you (this also applies to personal space, I had a very tipsy seat neighbor who fell asleep on my shoulder!)

My friend, who was into clean skincare, tried a product with lemon extract and it burned her skin. I will just stick to vegan and cruelty free products.

    Excellent explanation of “chemical” toxins. Honestly, I think people feel intimidated by chemistry and because it’s not understood at a glance, they want to reject it on principle. I don’t know why it’s so difficult to recognize the marketing behind products? I surmise it’s because we really just want to feel a sense of command over our the small things that we can control, like what skincare we use, when there is so much out of our control.

      Do know why these sources that claim certain products are less toxic than others are not to be trusted? I've been wondering this for a while. Scientists do say that some of the chemicals in our products are likely carcinogenic or harmful, but they aren't 100% certain which ones those are (makes sense considering the research that would need to be done to prove that). However, there has been a lot of research done on different chemicals, so is it so bad to avoid certain ones based on the research that we do have (even though it's not perfect)? Like the chemicals that are banned in Europe but not the USA, for example. Why not avoid those?

    Also, they're ridiculously expensive!
    And Ms. Wilde's claim that the True Botanicals oil cured her acne...strains my credulity (a polite way to say I think she's lying.) Maybe it did, or, maybe she changed something else she was doing at the same time (medication, diet, some other topical), and the other thing cured her acne. Or maybe she outgrew it - a few people do although many don't.

    I left crying, but ate the antibiotics for few weeks. It only made things worse.

    I love this video! However, I do have to note one thing I completely disagree with....I agree that not every dermatologist isn't for everyone, just like every esthetician isn't going to be for everyone. But when it gets to a point where you've gone through 23 or 24 derms and drs then I think that really shows that there's a problem. These are professionals that have done years of schooling and gone through rigorous licensing and are supposed to be THE GO TO for skin concerns, so if it's normalized for someone to have to go through two dozen or more derms and drs, suffering for whatever ails them for months if not years, then that is an extremely low bar to be holding them at. This is an issue I've experienced with numerous clients who finally came to see me for their acne after struggling with dermatologists. This isn't to say that derms are bad, infact I agree that they are incredibly knowledgeable and I value their scientific expertise. But I think it's clear there is a bit of a disconnect in the dermatology world, and I don't think it should be normalized or excused. I'm sorry 😔

      I think part of the problem was that Cassandra's acne was largely, if not entirely, caused by dairy. I haven't watched all of her videos, but that's my impression. I don't think that's a very common issue, but, I'm not a dermatologist, and I could be wrong.
      I believe the current theory is that severe cystic acne is hereditary. Makes sense to me; I had an aunt on my mom's side of the family who had it, and I also had persistent cystic acne that didn't respond to the topicals of the time (late 70s to early 80s.) I didn't have numerous pimples all over my face, but I pretty much always had at least one, usually on my chin, until I took Accutane.
      I believe now that stress was a big factor; my father was an alcoholic, and there was constant, ongoing tension in our household.

    I'm not planning on getting pregnant for a few years yet, however I think we overdo it with cautioning use during pregnancy.
    Because we don't have data on a wide number of products doctors take the "play it safe" approach. However, that sort of obfuscates which products we DO know are dangerous during pregnancy. It also kills the discussion of *why* some things are dangerous. That's how you end up with (on one end) "everything is poison! I'm going all natural" and on the other "pffft, apparently nothing is allowed, no way, I'm gonna just live my life".

A LOT of my skin care contains the preservative phenoxyethanol, which they say poses a moderate potential risk for adverse health effects. Thoughts? I really don't want to throw away all my products that have this ingredient.

One day I almost had to leave work early because of fragrances making me ill

People blame themselves and products for acne. But acne is like any other medical condition. There is a component that could be behavior-based, which the person suffering could have control over, and then there's a medically pathological (genetics etc) component that you would never have control over.

    There is a difference between these "clean brands" and using true natural simple skincare. Many cultures around the world have been using ingredients that they make/find local to have gorgeous skin for millennia. It is only in recent years that so many unnecessary products are pushed on us. Some clean beauty is a gimmick, but I would not discount real natural skin care. ie. real handmade African black soap from Ghana, rhassoul clays, rendered beef tallow balm, simple infused hemp and jojoba oils with calendula and chamomile. You can do all natural it will just look different than mainstream and should not be discounted and lumped into "clean beauty".I use the aforementioned items for my skin and I always get told I look 25, but I am 34. Also face massage helps wrinkles a lot especially if you are on the younger side cause they can be due to tension in the face. Obviously natural aging occurs and is beautiful. Just wanted to share a different perspective on natural beauty/skincare that most overlook. This is no judgment on those who use mainstream skincare.

    • @xunjo

      I'm not a professional, but own this cleanser and don't think the salicylic acid formula is good for daily use (despite the name). Whenever I used it a lot it dries my skin out, but no noticeable barrier disruption. If you suffer from acne it's great for alternate day/few times a week cleanser because of the salicylic acid. My skin type is combo, on the dry side, and acne prone if that helps. Hope you get more opinions on this tho since it's only my review!
