    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.

      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? I didn't see any. I asked her for her secret and literally it was just as yours...

      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 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.

      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.

    You and the welsh brothers are really helping me realize that the technology has gotten better than when I was 13 in 2000, thinking airbrushed skin in Vogue was real perfect skin. Now I can spot a blurring filter but not this new tech that is so good that is undetectable. I didn’t even see nikki tutorials filter that was on until it was pointed out now I can’t Un see it - like girl turn that off!!!!!

    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 â˜ș 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!

      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
      @kylebolton8147 Pƙed 2 lety +2

      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 CZcams 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).

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.
