I can't even remember the last time that I actually bought a pack of facial wipes. Ever since I started following Caroline Hirons, I have definitely kept completely clear of them and haven't touched them since! A while back, I won another giveaway and managed to bag myself a goodie bag full of Yes To products! I've never tried anything from Yes To before, so was really looking forward to trying some of their bits!
I started with the Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes, which I first used after a night out to take my make up off when I was staying at a friends house. I have to say that since switching to oils and balms to take my make up off, these wipes didn't remove my make up effectively at all, and definitely didn't do very well battling against the Benefit They're Real mascara! (It'd take a good wipe to get that mascara off..) The wipes actually left my skin quite sore, tight and a little bit stingy which was surprising as they're sold as soothing facial wipes.
I didn't think it was fair to just base my review on one use, and have used them again this weekend but I didn't use them to take my make up off; more of just a facial refresh whilst I was sat at home. The stinging sensation didn't come back this time, and the wipe did feel a lot more soothing during use. The towelettes are quite thick and a lot more luxury feeling compared to the Nivea/ASDA wipes I used to religiously use. But my skin still did feel a little tight after use, although it did feel nice and smooth.
Ingredients wise, these wipes are 98% natural which I am pretty impressed by. The wipes are enriched with skin loving ingredients such as cucumbers to exfoliate, soothe and de-puff, green tea to help prevent break outs, and aloe vera for some much needed moisture. They're also oil, SLS, petroleum and paraben free!
I don't think I'd rush out to buy another pack of these, and won't be using the rest of this pack very quickly either. I think I will slot them into my gym bag to gently clear my face after I've finished sweating like a pig to try and refresh my face if I'm busy straight after. I'm not a fan of cucumber, and the smell just isn't one for me - after a night out, I found the scent of these really hard to look past, but since using them more sober again, I can get over the smell and it really doesn't last long at all.
Have you tried anything from the Yes To range?
