CeraVe & Pore Strips? Esthetician REACTS

[@melaninqueen707]

Cassandra the hairstyle is called Bantu Knots. It’s an African hairstyle that obviously found its way here (thank God). You do not have to use extra hair. Depending on the length of your natural hair, it will determine how “full” you want it to look. Black men can also wear this style and it is not viewed as “feminine”. As far as the Black Girl Sunscreen, I use it everyday. There is no coating left behind, and it applies well. I know you didn’t ask for all this information but you do have a large audience of African Americans who look forward to your posts, and I just wanted you to be updated on what’s going on in our neck of the woods so-to-speak. Looking beautiful as always luv🙏🏾

My professor has these knots now, and i think they're so cool! She told us that when she was in high school, she wanted to rock her natural hair and not straighten them, but her family kept trying to get her to straighten her hair...i was like wha!!!!! Your hair is so cool and beautiful this way! Anyways I have a question, so one of my students had these knots and braided hair..but one of her braid literally fell off to the ground one day! Does that mean she's probably using extra hair on her knots? Please someone tell me if she has extra hair or if it could be damaging to the hair? Thank you!

[@hannahdeer17]

They also sell in China (forget which part) and that requires animal testing. Therefore they are not cruelty free.

Technically they are cruelty free, except being sold in China. If you are an international selling in China they make you test on animals

[@iamannemary]

"CeraVe is NOT cruelty-free. This means that this brand either tests on animals, pays for animal testing, or sells in mainland China. Some brands that fall under this category test on animals where required by law, which means they're not cruelty-free. CeraVe is owned by L'Oréal, a company that is not cruelty-free." This is the information I have from where I live (you have a subscriber from Portugal 😉). So basically here in the EU all brands have been banned from selling products that test on animals, regardless of where they were produced and the laws on those countries. However, since they sell in China and therefore they need to have their products tested there they are not completely cruelty free. So in the US it would depend from where are they shipping the product, or if they have any factories there and the laws, which I really don't know. In any case, I think that on the product should be written where it was produced. Hope that helps!

Amandla is 21 now. Edited to add the quote from the Washington Post article: "Stenberg realized that she “didn’t need those pronouns to feel comfortable. . . .

That sunscreen tip at the end is everything I ever wanted. I live in South Africa and I am a dark skinned girl but my skin burns quite easily and I haven't used a sunscreen for over 2 years because the ones I used either left my skin too oily or purple and didn't seem to make much if a difference because I would still burn. It was just a mess. I remember having sunburn after compulsory swimming class (during summer only) in school and my "swimming costume tan" would last all year. I love being outside in the sun but avoid staying outside too long because I'm scared of getting darker. I want the black girl sunscreen so badly. I'm definetly saving up for one because the exchange rate means its way more expensive here. Can't wait for your review on it. I want to experience that too.

They can damage your skin if you aren't careful - Cassandra talked about a patient ripping her skin because she used a strip while on accutane, and I feel like stories like that is why estheticians have trust issues lmao. But yes, when she mentioned pulling off the strip parallel to the skin and holding the skin taut (iirc), that is VERY important, even if someone isn't using a skin-thinning treatment like accutane or Retin-A. The reason teenage, pre-esthetician me broke capillaries around my nose is because I didn't know what I was doing and just pulled 😂 broken capillaries look like little red lines, and many people have them. Now I don't work in a medical setting but from what I understand, they can only be fixed with laser. It's another symptom of a fast-fix culture, one that thinks blackheads are dirty (spoiler alert: they're not). lol also I didn't even have them, so I damaged my skin for nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ well, at least I get to scare folks away from the biore strips.

[@ajd8558]

I only found your channel this week and am loving it - I have to give a round of applause that you're so focused on choosing cruelty-free products. Most beauty youtubers really don't seem to care. Only when we all vote with our money will this unnecessary and disgusting practice stop, and influencers like you really so make that difference. No, Cerave is not 100% cruelty free. In South Africa (where I live), we have Beauty Without Cruelty - it is an NPO and there is no cost involved for companies registered with them. They are extremely strict on testing. They're an excellent source as they really are trustworthy - there's nothing in it for them to approve or decline. BWC says no to Cerave because it is owned by Loreal. I guess it depends on your definition of cruelty free. They may not do testing themselves but are they really that strict about buying raw materials from suppliers that don't test? Plus, any brand that is willing to be in China despite their insistence on testing cannot truly be 100% cruelty free. If these huge brands all refused to be in China, they would force the change.

[@sarasommers3588]

Being owned by L'Oreal does not automatically make a company non cruelty free. They own several brands that are cruelty free. However, being sold in mainland China definitely makes them non cruelty free.

The CeraVe hydrating cleanser is like my favorite one! If I want to wash my face in the morning, this is the one I reach for.

Hi Cassandra! In Dr. Drays review of the YTTP cleanser she mentions how the ceraVe cleanser is a better option but it’s not cruelty free. The video, however, is almost 2 years old so I’m not sure if that impacts anything but there you go. Great video, thank you!

Show us the pore strips🤣 also wondering, does this tight hairdo have equally or more damaging effects like a ponytail? I literally was crying for her scalp😱 I really love this channel. It gives me so much information about the products that work and just the trendy ones..😍😍

Your hands are so beautiful! Can you share what products you use on your hands?

Wish I had her skin 😪 would use sunscreen on it though even though she has a darker skin tone, just to protect against cancer etc. Defenitly❤

for spf for darker skin I really like the sunbum spf 30 face stick. It’s sheer and lightweight so it doesn’t flashback or feel greasy.
