I ❤️ you! I fully believe acne sufferers can have PTSD. Even after our worst breakouts are past us, the emotional scarring is residual and very real. You are beautiful inside and out, thank you for reminding everyone else out there that they are too!

I've had cystic acne for many years. So ive been left with many many reminders of all the painful breakouts over tge years. As a 37 year old mom of 3 I still have breakouts.. usually once a month😒 And I won't even clean my house without concealer when I'm home alone.. what if someone comes to the door? ...yeahh😕 But my preteen 12 year old girl that has started having breakouts is such an inspiration.. She does have some makeup..And wears it sometimes.. But she is just fine without it... And when I look at her at the store with those red bumps on her forehead and blackheads on her chin beautiful and makeup free.. And she shines right past it. I wish I was that strong. And I pray that she can inspire the girls at her school too. Nobody is perfect.. we all have something we don't love about ourselves . And that's ok.. But like you said. We're all more than these things. It might be bad skin, weight problems, not perfect teeth, big nose or stringy hair. But at the end of the day... most of the time we're the only ones thinking about it. Everyone else is fighting their own battles. I thought as a mom I would teach my kids so much... And I have.. But they have tought so much more. Thank you for this. ✌❤😁

Thanks to YOU I can go out of my house without any makeup. At first, it was really hard because my mom used to say things like: are you going to leave home like that? you should put some makeup on. I struggled with her for almost a year. Now, that I showed her my skin is better and healthier without makeup, she supports me 100% . I wear it once in a while and I'm thrilled I don't let it define me anymore. You are a BEAUTIFUL human being in both inside and outside. I'm really.... proud to see all the progress you've been through. Keep it going girl ! ❤️

[@briterry4961]

While we're sharing our insecurities, I'd like to say that I'm 22 with acne and tons of acne scars. It's been this way since I hit puberty straight out of elementary school. I remember finding foundation and thinking "Awesome, I can cover everything with this and it's socially acceptable for girls." When most my age were starting out with mascara and lip gloss, I was wearing a full face. I wish I never did, b/c it was a viscous cycle. I'd pick and pop, create more acne and scars, cover it with more makeup, my skin would get worse and I'd never feel okay without it. I remember countless mornings crying and staying home from school, b/c I had ran out of foundation, or even being half way there in the car with my mom then making her turn around b/c I looked at myself in the car mirror. I was an athlete and wore foundation during every workout. I can't even begin to tell you how many opportunities I let my skin steal from me. I sometimes think about all I "could have" been with good or even "normal" skin. To this day, it effects nearly every decision in my life. I have never been in love, I have no job, not 1 friend I talk to even on a monthly basis, and have a terrible relationship with my family. I wish I was exaggerating, but it's actually probably worse than it sounds. Why am I confessing all this.. I don't know. It feels kind of good though. Maybe someone will read this and feel less shitty about their life. Anyways, thanks Cas. (:

[@beingyourself6813]

Trust me look is not everything, but your personality and values, I know girls with clear skin but they are not friendly, they are only are amongst the same looking people like them, it's superficial if you have friends based on their look.

We can share it xD im 23 about to be 24 and have cystic acne! everyone gets that one zit or cyst every now and then. or have their own insecurities. Im also a photographer now.

[@phytophtorapalmivora]

First, build your own self confidence. Build a good personality. Be good to others. No matter what they think about you, just be good to them. Everybody have their own speciality. Discover what is special about yourselve and appreciate it. Also try to appreciate your bare face. Just dont think that if you have an acne you will not be accepted by others If they really want to befriends with you they will accept you just the way you are. Keep your head up high, be humble, appreciate what you have. Appreciate people that support you. Befriends with positive people. Enjoy your life. Acne must not stop you to enjoy your life. You live only once. Dont waste your life just like that.

This is such a hard thing for me. I have low self esteem because my skin isn’t as clear as the actors and actresses I work with. I don’t go for roles I think I’m not pretty enough for. I also used to wait till my whole family ate and left the kitchen before I got food. It further proves that acne affects more than our skin. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you 🙏🏽 💜

[@esmeraldarivera2040]

I know your pain, for me the worst was that people let me know everyday that it was my fault, because they thought that was simply because I didn't clean my skin or I ate badly, and of course everybody knew the solution for acne and I was so dumb because I didn't use them properly. Also, one time I saw a commercial about acne that shown a depressive girl that ended committed suicide, was very strong and I remember my cousin saying "oh my god that was so dramatic, nobody suicide by acne" and I felt so bad because I empathized with that girl and her bad self esteem. People that don't suffer from this thinks that is not big deal :/ sorry for my bad english X.x

I am 23 years old, less then a year ago my doctor took me off birth control. In high school I had acne and would miss every party, high school football game and dance because I wanted to go home take off my 5 layers of make up and put on a face mask to try and correct my skin. I hid in my room every day and night for years ! Today I have hormonal acne since going off the pill along with cystic break outs... last week was a first day in years I called in sick to work because I was SO ashamed with my skin. I cried like a child and couldn’t look anyone in the eyes. I teach students with disabilities, and I love it more than anything. I help them learn academics and life skills... I show them love.. but I felt I had to miss a day with them because I was so self conscious on the way I looked, this should never happen so I thank you for this video, it is something that will stick with me next time I want to call into work and hide from my students because of a silly break out.

[@bakika]

Have you heard about the new movie "8th Grade" with Elsie Fisher? Everyone is loving the fact that she has acne and does not cover it for the movie.

I have been following you since the very beginning. I can’t begin to tell you how much I am thankful for you and how you have helped me feel not alone and confident with my acne. Years later my acne has gotten better like you and when I get a few breakouts I feel ugly and forget how far I’ve come. And you’re so right. I am a nursing student, i am going to get to help people every day. And my acne has NOTHING to do with what I will offer! Thank you Cassandra, I am forever thankful for you you inspire me everyday ❤️

As a grown /man/ who has struggled with bad acne for almost forever, I often feel locked in my own home.

This is one of my very favourite videos on the internet. I didn't even know I needed that today.

I love you, Cassandra Bankson! Thanks for opening up, really needed that. Just shows me that almost all of us go through this sad sad time where we feel so insecure, lost and deeply broken. But these hardships make us so much stronger and wiser in the end. Maybe they even turn out to be blessings in disguise. Nowadays, whenever I 'feel' ugly, I try to remind myself that I don't have to be beautiful :) I am a fully functioning person even without beauty and there's so much that I can offer this world. I like feeling pretty, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't need this feeling 24/7. Lots of love, y'all ♥

[@chocolatepoodle6028]

Thanks for sharing this. I think one of the hard parts about self-love is accepting that no matter how well you train and reshape your mind to start caring for yourself, there's always going to be that one small part of you which still wants more. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing; we'd never change or improve anything if we didn't have a little something that we're unhappy with; a thing that we want to strive towards, but when that unhappiness is allowed to grow and ovewhelm everything else, we do end up losing sight of other important things and getting stuck in unhealthy, self-destructive thinking. I really needed to hear this today.

[@bellac2890]

I need more videos like this. My insecurity limits how I move. When I have acne, I feel like I shouldn't leave my room because people will look at me and judge me, even they don't, I think they do in their head. I avoid taking photos and videos with my friends just because I can't deal with acne. And now that I think about it, it's stupid. I don't have any memories with my friend. I know memories are not about photos or videos but still I could use it when I miss my friends. Let's embrace our acne!

[@fenree]

For almost 16 years I had very clear skin, no zits, no spots. And then everything came at once (for what reason whatsoever), since 2-3 years I have very bad acne. Back then, it was so new to me and so overwhelming when all these pimples came to my life. I didn't know what to do. I still am very insecure about them and all those acne scars that came from them. I was a very bad picker when it started because I didn't know how to deal with it, but it got worse over time. Now, I learned to control my picking but my insecurities are always following me, I always think about, how ugly other people find my face because of all these zits and the scars. Especially because right now, I only have them on one side of my face and I don't know why 🙈 I changed my diet 2 weeks ago to no milk products and less sugar and now I'm waiting for the results... I've also been pushing myself for a year to not wear make up to hide my true face and let my skin breathe. When I think about it, it's pretty unfair that I have to suffer from this. Neither my family members, nor my friends, nor other people that I see suffer from bad acne like me (and they have way worse eating habits than I had). I was so frustrated and jealous until I learned about your channel and I am SOOO grateful for that. Thanks for sharing your story, thanks for all those skincare tips you gave us, thanks for explaining how the skin works, thanks for talking about bad/good ingredients, thanks for just you being yourself.

That's how I feel, and if someone judge you by your look, it says a lot about this person. It's sad we live in the world which is full of narcissism and superficial values. I wanted to add that beauty industry is about business and images we see are not real, they are fake, retouched. If you build your strength based on your appearance, that's a very fragile strength.

I definitely needed to hear this. I've struggled for nearly 20 years of my life now with acne and I've come so far in my journey... AKA giving way less fucks 😏 But this puts a new perspective and will help me continue to give zero fucks about how my face looks 🙌

[@angelamyers510]

You're a great role model for young girls! Thank you for being honest!!

[@JessCoulas]

Somehow this is exactly what I didn’t know I needed to hear. Thank you so much ❤️

[@cheeritupwithellie4740]

Wow. Just wow.. I’ve seen a lot of videos from you but this was by far the best

[@lizbethluna6491]

you make me cry, so true all that yoi share I have cystic acne, and it was controlled but now is back and is like start over again but I am tired of this, I dont want to take again roacuttan this strong medicine forgot the name in u. s but that is the only way I can get better, today I made an appointment with my dermatologist but sometimes I just want to dont care I dont see the end of this and yesterday I felt steong and positive to deal again with this but today I wasn't, I dont eat diaries anymore but today I ate cheese because I said well whatever even if I dont eat I still have the problem, I hope to have a better mood in your next video. I like to see this beacuse I can see I am not alone in this journey 🙂

I've mentioned this on a previous video, stop cleansing in the morning, only use water, cleanse only at night, after using water in the morning, go straight to your toners, essence creams and sunscreen. Try washing your face only with water in the morning for a week and see if this works for you, it did for me and i've been struggling with acne for over 16 years. Who'd have thought that cleansing twice a day would be the main culprit. Lastly regardless of wether you have acne or not, you are till the same person, you are no lesser of a human being just because you have acne

[@datgreekgal]

That's the real deal. She looks like she's giving advice to convience herself. I know how she feels tho... When you have been through acne, seeing it coming back can be devastating

[@kimberlycouture2373]

Saeefa thank you for sharing but as we all know everyone's skin biology is different which sucks cuz it would be so easy if it was just that easy... I've been following Cassandra fir awhile now and trust me she's tried everything. My heart goes out to her Bec I know how it feels. I'm so glad that you finally found something that works for you!

[@annahullihen8931]

You are an amazing inspiration to all of us. This is definitely a message I will revisit many times. Thank you.

[@alicesayles5278]

that was so raw, emotional and beautiful, thank you for sharing, your words mean so much to me, please know that you help and inspire so many people

[@biancamay30]

Iv learned to stop wearing make up and embrace my acne because if I don’t I’d be lying to myself and now I love my face without makeup more! PLEASE PLEASE!! Can you do a video on acne scaring? Or like discoloration!! I have a lot of discoloration and I want to use some products but I have no clue what to use because Iv used a lot!! And your skin looks so good it looks really clear from acne scars!!

[@steffybetz1895]

Hi i am a hungarian 20 years old guy i grew up with severe acne. I spent thousand of dollars ( i didnt dare to calculate precisely) to get rid of it. I also grew up missing my 2 lateral incisors ( i had them as deciduous teeth but non as permanent teeth). So this combination of the two gave me zero confidence. The only thing i was in my mind how i can get rid of my acne and when im going to be 18 to start my dental implant process. When i started eating a HCLF vegan diet my acne cleared but even it was gone i was so embarrassed about my acne. I was so angry when a new pimple came and telling the truth i dont know how im going to get over my acne depression. Guys its real. Im goint to get my dental implants in 1 month so finally the 2 years long process is almost over. Sometimes when i hear that you should treat yourself as you would treat a baby i always ended up crying because i would never wish these the things to anyone in my life. I kissed a guy about a month ago for the first time in my life (yes im gay) and the next day i cried. ( i know it seems like that i cry all the time but telling the truth it really rare for me) because i didnt realize that something like this could happen to me. Im sorry for this messy monologue but i felt the importance to tell to a community where the people know the misery of acne is real. Thanks :)

[@emilyburgess1624]

So absolutely true. thank you for reminding me of this!!!

[@IheartLOST06]

What you give to the world has nothing to do with what you look like 💓 i love you Cassandra 💘
