🌞 The Summer I Turned Pretty Skincare Routine | Medical Esthetician Reacts To Lola Tung’s Skincare

[@Altekameraden79]

For anyone unawares, Cassandra's website blog articles are wonderfully detailed gems of info worth geeking out on. As a male industrial mechanic turned engineer I was not exposed to skincare information until recently. A random YT recommendation rabbit hole lead me to this channel, and her personality and knowledge has me watching much of her content a few vids a night.

[@solveigw]

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time right now. I hope you take your own advice and listen to yourself! You are important. Not because of all your knowledge, or your personality, or your looks. But just because you are you.

My mom grew up in Taiwan during the 50s and 60s. No one told her about periods. When she got hers, she hid it and cried for DAYS because she thought she was dying. I'm so happy that there are people out there educating young girls on this subject!

[@AP-gb3eb]

I grew up in the US and my parents didn't tell me 💀 I learned in middle school sex ed like a few weeks before I got mine. I cried lol

[@alialhadithy6590]

EDIT: GUYS PLEASE LIKE THIS DO CASSANDRA CAN SEE IT . Please Cassandra make a video of sunblock recommendations for men with beards (not the thick thick beards where the sun does not go through the skin) but men with stubbles or thin beards like me ) where we have to apply sunblocks on the skin underneath it because the uv rays reach it but we end up with white messy polka dots everywhere that we end up just giving up on sunblocks .

[@stevierysie]

My hubs really likes the Skin Aqua moisturizer lotion spf 50+ ++++. It does not collect in the hair, water resistant and fragrance free. I get it off Amazon for like $15 for 4 oz. Hope this helps. ❤

Glow by Ramon can help you choose, he gives excellent recommendations

[@Melon29813]

I second checking out Glow By Ramon! He has a thin beard himself and gives out good and thorough sunscreen reviews. I'm quite sure he talks about how sunscreens work for a beard in every review.

I know mental health is a personal issue but I just want to thank you for being open about it. Your channel has helped me and my daughter SO much! Though we share our heart, my daughter and I don't share DNA so her skin issues have been something that I can't advise her on. We are not able to see a derm (insurance won't cover it) but your channel has made all the difference. Your advice on what might help has really steered her in the right direction. She has now formulated a routine, based on your advice, which is working wonderfully for her. We also appreciate your discussion of your mental health journey. We are both in a transition phase of our lives and we have struggled at times. But your channel has helped her normalize the journey. You have made such a difference! BTW, we have adopted a vegan, cruelty-free lifestyle so it's wonderful to watch a channel where we know all of the products recommended fall in line with our ethics. Thanks you!!!!

[@shreyamishra916]

hugs to you both

[@camis4565]

Tbh i love your Channel so much, thanks to you and dr dray my skin has gone through a journey I never thought it would go before. As a teenager who has STRUGGLED HARD with cystic acne and lots of post-hyperpigmentation, my self-steem was so low at the point I cried a lot in front of the mirror while picking my skin :’) it’s been rough but you’ve inspired me a lot to actually take care of myself and I thank you so so much for not only educating a lot of people about skincare but also about self love. You’re a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and I hope you’ll continue to grow even more, blessings and hope you’re doing better with your mental health now :) love ur vids! ❤️

[@ricequin]

In my teens I had awful acne on my back but only in places my hair lay. I saw a dramatic improvement once I started tying my hair back for bed.

[@asthemommy]

I don't ever comment on KZbin videos. But, I've been watching you for a while, and you've helped my skin care routine so much. It's still not perfect, but it's so much better. So I wanted to say you're doing amazing, and I love you.

[@catherinegreer854]

I love how excited you get about every skincare video you watch❤❤ Geeking out with you is always the best!!

[@Julia-om1qz]

illa mascara is so good!! also i love your videos so much!! i’m a teenager that has struggled with some acne and still do here and there but your channel has definitely helped me so much! actually because of you i want to become a medical aesthetician! thanks so much!!!

[@CassandraBankson]

@julia, thank you for your comment and very sweet & kind words. You just made my day and now I'm smiling from ear to ear. Keep me updated on your career path and let me know if I can help in anyway. Have a great week!!

[@aaronmichael1201]

I admire that you not only bring awareness to cruelty free beauty (something VERY important to me), But, more importantly, you help us buyers find more affordable items for our skin. It's nice to be able to find cruelty free beauty that won't break the bank for those of us who aren't on celebrity pay scales.

[@cynthiasapos7236]

I just found your channel and I love your inside...outside...You are so beautiful both ways and you are helping us who need you brains to not get screwed over over buying crap that does not work...God Bless you and many blessings your way...

[@talaaa2897]

I really hope this Lola woman watches this video - i feel like if the celebrities watched Cassandra’s reactions their skincare routine would improve a ton, and they would gain so much knowledge! Ik that if i was in their situation, I would definitely want to know of ways that i can do better. I love you Cassandra!

[@trishasukhtankar8851]

There's a chance that you might not even read this but Cassandra, I hope you're okay. I know you laughed about crying a whole bunch and maybe I'm reading too much into this but please seek help from your loved ones or even professionals and take care of yourself. I love your videos. ❤

[@dirtclassy]

Thank you so much for introducing me to acids! I hqve watched your videos for a few years now and have been tweaking my skin care gradually, and I think I have almost mastered it! Yes, I still get hormonal breakouts too or my skin gets irritated from the environment or whatever but it’s never looked so good, if I wear makeup, I never wear foundation, just spot conceal. I laughed yesterday because I told myself I was microdosing acids to gently get my skin back on track after a week or two of neglect (moving, kid starting school after homeschooling several years, career change, music festival, etc). I have more products than I thought I would need but it actually helps me a lot because I can use them when I don’t have time and energy to put on a mask, wait, wash it off, and finish my routine. I rotate through azelaic, salicylic, glycolic, and adapalene. I have two gentle effective cleansers and moisterizer and a host of suncreens and a few peptide options. You’re the best, ps some acids can be great for depression too 😉

[@savanahfreitas5450]

I love the Ilia overnight lip mask!! I use multiple times a week and I don’t have to use lip balms durning the day.

25:00 From Wikipedia: _Coccinia_ from the Greek, _kokkinia_ or _kokkinias_ - "red" or "scarlet" Coccinia indica is botanical name of Ivy Gourd. It is also known as Kundru (Hindi), Kovai (Siddha) and Bimbi, Bimbaka (Sanskrit). This plant is native to Central Africa, India and Asia _When the fruit of C. indica is green in colour, it is used as a vegetable, and when it ripens into a beautiful scarlet hue, it is eaten fresh. C. indica's young leaves and branch tips are frequently utilised in traditional medical systems in Asia, including Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani_

[@katrinam2309]

Oh man, I can identify with you in the 10 hours in bed but only 1.5 hours asleep 😭 have you tried sleep podcasts like Bore You To Sleep? I find that it helps me to focus on something outside of my brain so I don’t end up spiraling into the weird corners of my mind and let me just relax and fall asleep. You’ve helped me with my skin, maybe this can help you with your sleep! 😊

[@jinelleponiente175]

Hello Cass, I’m a really big fan! It’s been a while but i want to say that Ive seen you here at a event in Abu Dhabi in Louvre Museum and I was so shy to come over and say hi😅😢 I’m so happy to see you and been ranting into my colleagues..❤❤❤ so gorgeous!!!

I’m not sure what you have been going through, nor am I asking because you would share if you wanted to. I too have had a very rough year as I’ve lost several family members. I understand the crying all the time and constant use of under eye reusable patches to help my poor eyes. I’m sending you love and I’m holding space for you. .❤

Oh gosh. Emo Cass is so cute!! I was lucky. When I entered adolescence and started breaking out sooo bad my mom took me straight to a dermatologist.

[@aabidahsiebritz3839]

Just btw if you're interested after I turned thirty I went through some heavy mood swings and my hormones fluctuated alot, it was just mostly feelings of depression but I supplemented with evening primrose oil, about 2000 ml a day. It really helped me. It's not a cure or anything but it doesn't hurt to try.

[@vargasdiana72]

I always wanted to use ilia serum foundation but I have oily skin I feel like it won’t be good fit. Please try it Cassandra so I don’t have to 😅

Wait.. the under eye pqtch has copper peptide and ascorbic acid? Can they be use together?

[@willcookmakeup]

I didnt know how to take care of my skin until I went to esthetics school for my license. Also weirdly learned a lot when working at Sephora. Mostly brand knowledge, but also some techniques we didn't learn in school. I love herbivore, but they're just so expensive. I know you dont like Drunk Elephant, but that is a brand I'll shell the money out for as its been one of the most effective lines for my skin. It performs really similarly to one of the lines we used in school.

[@willcookmakeup]

Also Ilia is one of my fav brands. Their mascara is absolutely to die for

[@shre33]

Do coconut alkanes cause acne too ? I just thought it’s the oil which is comedogenic

[@MsLinoi]

I actually bought a microneedling roller once, which was years ago & now I advise everyone against using them! I only used it like 2 or three times because SURPRISE, I got a bunch of new pimples after using it. Now, I see people in the haircare space recommending them for hair growth! I can't imagine all the things that could go wrong when you roll one of these on your scalp (especially when it's oily) Maybe you should make a scalpcare video with Manes By Mell?

[@GilpyElimy]

I have mature combo skin and I was looking for a more hydrating tinted moisturizer. One of the Sephora gurus turned me onto the ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, I LOVE IT! It has Niacinamide, squalane, and hyaluronic acid on top of an SPF (don’t worry, I double up on my SPF).

[@hitomitomtom]

She gorgeous.

[@hannahgreen4177]

Please try the Ilia super serum skin tent! I just bought it and love the ingredients and that it’s spf but I have oily skin and don’t think it’s goes well with my skin.

[@terryblevins2516]

[@Caity438]

Probably age, I'm similar age to you and Cassandra, kiwi, I wasn't bullied for the rash suit when I was little but being a tween in one was devastating lol... I managed to negotiate board shorts and a rash top by my teens luckily. Other thing is NZ was MUCH more sun smart in the 90s than North America.

[@lizzi7128]

@@Caity438 hahaha yes, I got the boardies etc when older! I wore voys boys... Was all the rage in Aussie too! Or Roxy ones :) You're right about the sun.. True. My mum was highly neurotic.. My skins held up though, so thanks to her for that! 😎

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Ms. Tung is using a lot of expensive, heavily fragranced products. For example, the Herbivore Pink Cloud Moisture Cream. The second ingredient is rosewater! That's not a moisturizing ingredient, it's a fragrance! I would guess she can afford these products, or gets them for free, but her skin would probably benefit from going back to the basics: cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturizer as needed. Although, as Cassandra pointed out, we really don't know what her skin looks like because of the filter applied to the video. Maybe she was fortunate enough to inherit good skin that isn't visibly bothered by fragrance. However, it's still best to avoid it because fragrance can cause long term damage to the skin.

[@mandarina4157]

You literally said in another video of yours that you only wash with water in the morning, so I’m extremely confused by your reaction to her not cleansing her face with any cleanser and telling us what Dr Dray thinks and recommends instead of telling us you don’t do it either. Or maybe you do now, but in that case, why not tell us that part of your routine changed and why it changed?i feel like that would be more coherent.
