I was one of the girls growing up who had perfect alabaster skin. A girl in my class had horrible, painful cystic acne that left gouges in her skin. She asked me what I did to have such clear skin. I told her I did nothing, just used soap to clean it. The disappointed look in her eyes is something I will never forget. I genuinely wished I had some deep secret knowledge that could make it all better in that moment. I often think about her and pray she's been able to find relief. Its absolutely bonkers how society uses. The 1% and markets it as the standard and worse, uses deception and lies to make a profit from it.

[@breadjinnie5495]

Same. I have my acne mostly controlled now. But it is a lifestyle...if I eat oily foods, white flour, dairy, processed foods I get pimples. I still have to be on top of my skincare at 36 or I'll break out. I knew this girl that literally looks like a real life photoshopped girl. No marks, bumps and where the heck are her pores at?

The world is indeed not fair. I only had acne for 4 years of my life. Age 20 to 24. Before 20, I had clear skin. Having acne was the worst. Nothing I ever did worked. Slept well, ate well, tried to be stress free. Went to dermatologist. Acne still raged on. And then for some reason, at 25 it suddenly went away on its own. I'm 30 now. Been acne free for 5 years. And I barely do anything. No skin care routine. Just micellar water. And I would never get a pimple. Bad diet, lack of sleep, stress, still no pimple. Acne is really a mystery. I hope my acne never comes back again.

“Just because you have acne doesn’t mean you need to fix it.” Such a simple yet novel concept to me at 24 after years of media and advertisements that told me otherwise…

[@nyambura1253]

Just my little cents. It is ok to accept your skin the way it is, but we should also allow other people to do what they feel like doing if they want to feel confident. I don't wear makeup, I don't have a flawless skin, but I am okay with myself. If someone else feels that they can't go out without makeup because of their imperfect skin, I still don't judge them. Each one has a right to feel good about themselves and we can't just tell them to be like us.

[@kylebolton8147]

👏👏yesss. If someone wants to wear makeup they totally can. My only problem is if people lie about it.

[@supposedlyhuman]

I am from India and here people rarely wear makeup. I as a teenager when started noticing my dark circles, hyperly pigmented and wide forehead, wide nose, dark skin, hyperpigmentation around the mouth and all around the jaw, no pink lips, no symmetry, no good hairline,no good hair,no good skin, no longer eyelashes and dark brown eyes i became very upset by looking at ppl all around me with light perfect skin and i had a few bumps. Its not like i had hate towards dark PPL i loved them but i hated me my skin tone. Here in india the modern culture has always been obsessed with fair skin and unfortunately i wasn't one of them. Got bullied all my childhood over my tomboyishness and short boy like haircut nobody could even recognise i was a girl. I have toxic parents my mother was so much she never let me grew my hair when they were at their best(thick and straight). Time passed and in my highschool i noticed all that my insecurity few up so much that i am now body dismorphobic. Its tough seeing PPL perfect all around and not you being one. My classmates meant beautiful eyes=light colour which again i didn't own. Then to make me feel a Lil better i learned makeup self i don't know how but i just knew approx 8 months back i started makeup i wasn't an expert but grew up subsequently and now i still wear it sometimes to hide dark circles/ hyperpigmentation and if someone asks or shares i just tell them yes i do and they give me a very cold, judgemental look with a very hateful face i can't even describe. This is how it's here, in metropolitan cities it's common to wear it but the one i live in it's tough again. Your own peers judging you that way just stabs you i don't have a lot of my friends i know just two of them who don't even talk to me so one of them appreciates on my makeup skills other own is still that jury girl i remember she one called me out saying "who are you here to impress"?.

What no one talks about too is when you have the edits made and the perfect lighting… it can mess with your self esteem. You look at that beauty cam pic or photoshopped image or filtered Tik Tok video and it’s like being two people… the one that looks perfect on screen and the real you who will seemingly never measure up. It’s important to reaffirm that you don’t have to be that on screen version of yourself in real life.

[@idliketostay]

I do believe that some people are not ready to LOOOOOVE their skin/body/appearance and saying to them that they should is not gonna help it will shame them for NOT loving it. Because it’s a process you cannot decide to love yourself randomly. But normalizing the normal skin (omg why it’s a big news, normal should be normal lmfao) definitely helps everyone. Thank you for doing exactly that ❤️ On another note. I see some chance of you Cassandra reading this so I’d like to leave a request for a video ☺️ SPF - it’s so frustrating. You don’t see how it works. Why do you really need to reapply? How exactly does it loose it’s power? For example the physical spf - if it’s just a mineral grounded into a powder - and it’s supposedly reflects the UV rays - why would you need to reapply ? Is it because it’s being degraded by the UV or just it gets moved around and creates some unevenness so you could not be sure that your say cheeks are being protected? One other thing is if your layering the spf - what can you layer and what not? Does it then extend you wear time? Say the most closest to your skin layer get protected by the one above it why would it loose it’s poser ? Maybe it can stay intact and will get it’s moment when the above ones have gave their all to protect and died (so sad for the SPF, but thank you) . I do believe you Cassandra can exhaust the f* out of this topic, do a great research and then share this with us!

[@Kiterpuss]

You'll love the body neutrality movement! It's basically what you've said; not everyone can or wants to love their body, but hating it isn't healthy so we should aspire to be neutral. As for your questions about SPF, physical and organic sunscreens work the same way. The molecules that act as the spf absorb UV energy and diffuse that energy through a chemical state change. That's actually what the number on an spf rating means; an SPF15 will diffuse the UV energy from full strength and direct sunlight for 15 minutes before losing efficacy. As for how to layer it, the general consensus is to apply serums/moisturizer first, let that sink into your skin, and then put your spf on top. If you need to add makeup over that, just let the sunscreen dry down a bit first so it's not disrupted by your applicator!

[@kylebolton8147]

To your SPF question, there are two big reasons why we need to reapply: 1. When applying sunscreen, people almost always apply far less than needed. Also, our skin is porous and bumpy and it’s hard to get the sunscreen on perfectly - think about how you might have to do multiple coats of paint to paint a basketball. The reapplication increase your protection by making up for missed spots in early applications. 2. Our sunscreen can rub off when we touch things and it can mess up protection over time. Therefore we have to reapply. I would check out Dr. Dray or LabMuffin Beauty Science on KZbin for more information. Also one last note: physical sunscreen protection is not entirely through reflection - it’s about 10% reflection and 90% absorption (like chemical filters).

[@anaramgalan3985]

omg cassandra your skin looks absolutely beautiful

[@madeline569]

You're wonderful for this, thank you

[@matchapichu6784]

My whole face is full of acne, blemishes, acne scars, blackheads and whiteheads. But im learning to just accept it and embrace it💜

[@biancavautier1495]

Hey Cassandra! Watching you from Australia. I love your channel! I’m studying to be a skin therapist, and I was wondering if you could do a video on the many things that can cause acne? :)

[@vk7563]

Omg I adore ❤️ you. So inspiring 🙏 feeling much better. God bless you girl and all you do for us

[@vitaliaschultz138]

It took me a while to appreciate my skin. I suffered with cystic acne and now have scars. All stars made me feel ugly and I became so depressed. It's sad how they retouch all pictures it's sad. Understanding the skin more made my skin look so much better. It's normal to have acne, scars, texture wrinkles and so on. Love you and love your videos. Xoxo

[@inchrist8486]

This movement is beautiful. I want to cry 😢. I never would have imagined this would ever happen when I was suffering and insecure back in my pre teens, teens, and early twenties

Thank you for sharing this content about acne positivity ☺️🥰

LORDE is amazing ,she literally wrote a line in her song ‘team’ about her skin texture

[@witch6in6the6womb]

So happy to see you years and years later. You look happy dude. Thats great.

[@realness2b]

Loved this. You might already have done this but, do you think you could do a video like this on wrinkles and normal aging?

[@SabrinaMontoya77]

I so wish that I had someone like you 33 plus yrs ago when I had horrible acne and was made fun of so much. I have loved your videos for yrs back when you were in your robe in the living room 💙 Thank you for all the now older ladies that needed this as a child.

[@JoMarieHartup]

My fave was when Lorde released her own unedited pictures showing her true skin after a Photoshop picture of her was being used in the press

[@cherryberrypop4661]

“i’m ok just the way i am and my reflection is going to look very different than someone else’s retouch.” and also “Flaws can be features and let’s embrace it.” PREACH GIRL I NEEDED THESE WORDS OF WISDOM AND I NEEDED THIS VIDEO TODAY thank you :))) i love ur channel

[@enesfurkanaydin]

my perspective about "normal" skin was corrupted thanks to media (back when there was no social media) and it really caused me a lot of struggle to embrace my skin in any condition. cassandra thank you for always keeping it real and showing us the truth 🦋

[@calihhan4706]

Let's not forget that there are so many talented, wonderful artists out there who don't get a chance just because of their imperfections!

[@abbygaillazaro9958]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO😭😭

[@holliewitt5816]

I love your attitude;). I am 44 and have only had an occasional monthly outbreak. My issues are in the aging department. My skin has improved so much from watching your channel:). I use Haru Haru now and love it!! Plus sun screen on a daily with increased H2O oral intake. Still struggling with under eye elasticity any recommendations?

[@Puffley]

Queen you are why I cut out Milk! I watched you from the very beginning & you gave me so much confidence for my acne!

We all never really have perfect skin. Skin care actually is key for a normal and healthy skin.

[@Kapschan]

I actually have seen people WITH perfect skin👀

[@RealityxFairytale]

@@Kapschan yes like some of my friends. Lucky them. You cannot even see their pores. 🙄

[@divx1001]

@@RealityxFairytale you're only seeing a moment of their lives. I have what people call perfect skin but I have my problems too 🙄 for example, my skin is sensitive and I have reactions to the minorest things possible. I also have had pimples and I have them from time to time. Its not healthy to think that perfection exists because it doesn't. What you see as perfect skin is just an organ of another human that eats, defecates and does a bunch of disgusting stuff 😂

[@RealityxFairytale]

@@divx1001 no I actually was going with them to school and living with them. Of course like 2 days from year they had one tiny pimple, but that's nothing to people when they have acne, a tiny pimple is nothing.

[@m.-9615]

I think I had near to perfect skin when I was a bit younger. Could have still had that skin if I took better care of myself. I don't have pimples often, but it's quite dry and I'm in my late twenties so yeah it doesn't look like I'm 20 anymore

[@heatherracho]

I love your channel. I love you. you seem real. I like that you don't cake on the makeup and you show reality I've seen a lot of other shows where people are discussing how celebrities filter their photos meanwhile they're saying all this through a filtered lens. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house you know. But you don't need makeup you're beautiful. I too believe people should embrace their flaws it's what makes us different and different is wonderful.

[@marichupelaez7534]

the way you talk made me smile. 😍

[@leslieshaw1421]

Omg when you said you were my acne big sister I wanted to jump through the screen and give you a big hug. I have had a few breakouts here and there but never really had to struggle with that particular thing but we all have our own thing right?!

[@alexavasquez1992]

People would be so much happier if they didn't pay attention to celebrities and stopped following them on social media I feel pretty good about myself when I'm not comparing myself to others but if you're constantly inundating yourself with images that make you feel bad, of course you're going to have self image issues

[@jumbobiscuits1510]

Oh wow! You were one of the first few people I followed for makeup to know which foundations have the highest coverage.

[@martinav4086]

Thank you for the video, Cassandra. Although I cannot rely to the acne experience but I do understand the feelings people have when seeing such images. I’ve had rosacea for a few years now and I used to be desperate to find more information about it and treatment (it’s untreatable tho). Then I found some youtubers who claimed to have it too, promoting skincare products and advice but never a medical treatment. Stupid me fell for it and tried nearly everything until I found out they themselves were going to expensive clinics and had medical treatment. That made me angry and sad because it’s some toxic information. Not even mentioning they use filters and editing on their videos. Unfollowed the BS, but for a long time I felt terrible because I was trying to achieve and have a flawless pore-less perfect glowy unrealistic skin. I appreciate that you’re educating people on what is realistic and achievable by skincare.

I have acne but my boyfriend has rosacea, I think he's beautiful and I bet you are too.

I still add a slight filter to my social media pics and I am very insecure about my appearance especially in photographs. I’m 50, and I’m so glad unrealistic beauty ideals are changing. 🌸

[@alisamariaangelsanddemons4309]

I love what you do, to show young girls and young women that NO ONE has perfect and of course celebrities and models wear tons of makeup as well as break up like all of us humans! 💖💖💖

You are brilliant!! I love you!!
