A few weeks back after
an email conversation with the very lovely Social Media Manager of beauty/skincare
company ‘Yes To’, I received a few products from their coconut range with the promise
of taking them on my trip to Barcelona to try out and share. I had very high
hopes for the Coconut Oil Stick, Cleansing Wipes and Paper Face Mask, and they
were better than I could have ever DREAMED.
Yes To are a company
who create with the notion of ~natural~ at the heart of each product, both
prioritising positive impacts on skin and the environment, which gets an enormous
thumbs up from me. Cruelty free, 100% vegan and at least 95% natural using
recyclable materials, I fully intend to swap in more of their products instead
of other drugstore alternatives, particularly their face wipes which are made
of 100% cellulose to reduce the consumption of plastic, unlike so many other
wetwipes.
SO why are these
products ideal for your next trip away, as well as day to day usage? The
cleansing wipes are ridiculously refreshing and hydrating, perfect for
freshening up after a day in the sunshine when your skin is feeling somewhat
less than 100%. They’re a great product for throwing in your beach bag and
carrying around for a quick moisturising when you need it the most. 96%
natural, paraben free and leaping bunny certified, there’s not a single box
they don’t tick. And obviously they smell ~AMAZING~ in coconut.
The coconut oil stick
has to be my favourite Yes To product, and to be honest is probably the best
overall skincare product I’ve ever tried. It reminds me of a giant gluestick-type-device which you can use anywhere on your body and face to leave yourself
silkier smooth than I previously thought humanly possible. It’s lightweight and
melts into your skin upon application to moisturise and hydrate immediately, another
perfect after-sunshine remedy.
I was unsure how I’d
feel about the paper face mask as I have a super sensitive face and often
struggle to find face masks which don’t end up with me coming out in a spotty/rashy
hybrid situation. However, the Yes To ‘Ultra Hydrating’ mask left actual
sunbeams glowing out of my super-soft skin after use, and didn’t irritate my
face in any way at all. An 11/10.
If you’re looking for
a new beauty/skincare range to try out, Yes To is an absolute MUST in every
way. It allows you to make a positive move towards reducing your impact on the
environment, avoiding non cruelty-free brands, and all whilst loving your skin
in the most kind and caring way. If coconut isn’t your fave, they also have
charcoal, cucumber, cotton, grapefruit, miracle oil, tomato, carrot
