Exposing Skincare Industry Secrets That Brands Don’t Want You to Know — Rapid Fire Questions With Cassandra Bankson

Full conversation drops 13 May 2025

Cassandra Bankson is an American medical aesthetician, science-based skincare educator and former runway model who first went viral in 2011 after bravely removing her foundation on YouTube to reveal the severe cystic acne she’d battled since childhood. Today she runs a million-subscriber channel focused on evidence-backed skin care, holistic health and myth-busting; consults on cruelty-free formulations (for example, her colour-changing “purple” sunscreen with Isntree); and speaks openly about mental health, bullying and LGBTQ+ visibility—turning personal hardships into content that empowers people to heal their skin and self-esteem.

Each week I’ll drop a short “get-to-know-you” chat ahead of the full podcast so we can dig into the details that make our guests truly world-class.
