Hey Sweeties,
From my not-too-long-ago Feelunique.com haul I purchased two new cleansers to try out. The first was from Burt’s Bees which I reviewed last week (read it here) and now it’s time to give my impressions of the Yes to Carrots Fragrance Free Exfoliating Cleanser for normal to dry skin.
For a bit of background, Yes To are a global leader in beauty products using fruits and vegetables to create their products making them cost effective and free from chemicals. There are six core ranges to the collection each suiting a specific skin type, these are:
Carrots -Normal to dry skin
Cucumber -Sensitive skin
Tomatoes -Combination & acne prone skin
Blueberries -Fine lines and wrinkles
Grapefruit -Uneven skin tone
Coconut -Very dry skin
It would be easy to reach for the fruit/vegetable that appeals to most and if I went by that alone, I would be attracted to the cucumber or grapefruit ranges. But knowledge about your skin type is crucial here so that you buy the range correct for you. In this case, although I can suffer with sensitivity, it’s not my overall skin type so Yes To Carrots it is.
Right, so my thoughts about this cleanser…
If we take it at face value, the packaging is nothing special but it’s perfectly adequate for what it needs to be and distributes the product fine for application.
The key aspect of this cleanser is that it’s an exfoliator. Within the product are tiny little grainy particles that upon application to wet skin, exfoliate your face getting rid of stubborn dirt and dead skin cells that a normal everyday cleanser would struggle to achieve. The product is then simply rinsed or wiped away with a muslin cloth. Simples.
As it’s an exfoliator, I have incorporated it into my skincare routine and use it 2-3 times a week as I probably wouldn’t feel it necessary for everyday use. I like using one or two different cleansers to keep things fresh and I think this Yes To Carrots cleanser is ideal to work alongside my Burt’s Bees product and I think it is highly likely that I will repurchase this in the future. I am in fact also keen to explore more of the Yes To product ranges to see what else I would find beneficial as between this brand and The Body Shop I can probably cover most if not all of my skincare needs. But we’ll have to see about that…
Anyway, I hope you guys found this useful and if you have used this or something else within the Yes To ranges please let me know!
Until next time x
