Yes to Carrots Exfoliating Cleanser Review

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.

Yes to Carrots Cleanser

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

My First Feelunique.com Haul -Burts Bees, COLAB, Yes To & Rimmel

Feelunique.com haul

Hey Sweeties,

Last week while having a particularly stressful afternoon I found myself browsing Feelunique.com and before I knew it, I had a small haul in my online basket! This is the first time I have purchased from the site and I was definitely on more of a skincare search than I was make-up… for that I always prefer to buy in store. But with beauty, although a girl can never have enough… the products I am seeking at the moment are a little more high end and therefore I am reserving for my Christmas list and January when I do my next big blowout. For skincare, I feel I am really lacking in both knowledge and products, particularly as we’re heading into the colder months of the year -now is the time to ensure my face and body are well prepared and taken care of, so this is the focus of my shopping (haulin’) and my reading at the moment!

I am an avid watcher of YouTube and subscribe to many of the popular beauty channels such as; Vivianna Does Makeup, Lily Pebbles, In the Frow, Zoella, Tanya Burr etc. etc. and when I see them use various cleansers and things I scribble down the names only to find that when I research them, they cost about £40+ -basically way over my price range! I have no doubt those products are the best on the market but right now, they are just not an option for me to purchase. So, like many of my hauls and beauty purchases I have made so far this year, I am finding a lot of the products myself pretty much from scratch, which is no bad thing but sometimes you do miss that big sisterly advice and a gentle shove in the right direction.

FYI I will do a review of each of the products individually as well as a broader post on cleansers and skincare once I have had a good chance to try them out but for now, here is a closer look at what I purchased:
