Yesto 3 Different types of Masks Review!

Hello lovies, today’s post will be a review of three different types of masks by the brand Yesto. The masks are all different, from a clay mask, a sheet mask, and a multi mud mask! If you read my Beauty + Skincare Haul from last Thursday, then you would know that I happened to purchase two new Yesto masks. Yesto is a natural/cruelty-free/mostly vegan brand that sells skincare products. They are a high-end drugstore brand, but great quality, definitely one of my favorite skincare lines. Now onto my reviews of these Yesto masks!

#1 Yes to Cucumbers Calming Mud Mask

The first mask I used was the Yes to Cucumbers Calming Mud Mask (single use), made for sensitive skin with cool cucumbers and French green clay. So when I first opened the pouch, it had a strong cucumber scent, personally I liked it because it smelled very refreshing and the mask had a normal muddy clay consistency. It glided very smoothly onto my face with the application of my fingers, once I put it on I felt a slight tingle but I figured it was because my skin was dry from showering before, the tingle sensation went away in thirty seconds. I made sure that I had covered my faced completely and also some of my neck since there was a lot of product. The mask is to be kept on for between 5-10 minutes, I kept it on for 20 minutes though. The mask will dry onto your face like clay, however one thing I love that this mask does, compared to other masks is that it does not flake nor does it feel tight and dry. Towards the end of having the mask on I felt my skin feeling very calm with the mask. When I went to wash my face it felt great, like a facial massage mixed with the warm water you are cleaning your face with. I will say it did take a bit time to wash my face only cause when the mask is mixed with water it has a creamy feeling, which I do not mind. As soon as I had rinsed my face completely and pat dried it, my skin was feeling like 1000 bucks (cliche I know lol), very smooth, soft, and rejuvenated. The mask has a good portion in the package, definitely could work for two people. This was a high quality mask especially for the price of 3 dollars, you cannot beat that, so yes I would for sure repurchase again. Total Rating: 9.5/10 img-0996.jpg

#2 Yes to Carrots Nutrition Boosting vitamin-enriched kale Paper Mask

My second mask of choice was a sheet mask that is 100% vegan, Yes to Carrots Vitamin-enriched Kale Paper Mask.  This sheet mask is new to the Yesto brand, and claims it is made for depleted skin. The first thing I noticed of the mask was the scent, it definitely smelt vegan like a carrot kale green juice. The mask states that if it is tingling then it is working. The mask was tingling when I first applied it, feeling like a cotton sheet mask absorbing vitamins into your skin. The tingling was a bit strong at first and then it calmed down a bit during the process. The mask has flaps for you to put over your eyes if you choose to relax and close them, I thought that was pretty nice. I really felt the mask tingle on my checks, chin and upper lip, not really near the eyes or the forehead. After about 15 minutes of having the mask on my face, I removed it and softly splashed water onto my face to get rid of the excess mask-juice from my skin. I did notice my skin have a slight more of a glow from before, however my checks were a bit sensitive to this mask because my cheeks were a little redder than usual, I’m assuming the tingling of the product slightly irritated my skin. About three minutes after I took off the mask, my skin returned to its normal state. Overall my skin felt more smooth, slightly more radiant, and it was not oily from the mask which is a plus. I would probably/maybe repurchase again, but perhaps take off sooner since my cheeks were more sensitive. Total Rating: 6.8-7/10

#3 Yes to Triple Masking 3 Mud Masks: Hydrate/Detox/Recharge 

The last mask I decided to use was the Yes to Triple Masking 3 Mud Masks: Hydrate/Detox/Recharge, it is a 3 in 1 face mask that uses coconuts to hydrate, charcoal to detoxify, and superblueberries/greek yogurt to recharge the skin. I first decided to apply the detox portion, where I applied the mask to my forehead and t-zone, It smelled very nice and felt good on my face. I then applied then the coconut mask onto my under eyes and upper lip for that hydration, of course I did not mind it because the mask smelled like coconut milk. During application of the coconut mask, I felt a slight sensation of a tingling feeling more than the detox. Lastly, I applied the blueberries recharging portion to my cheeks and over my upper lip to soothe the tingling from the coconut mask, the blueberry smelt like this delicious blueberry muffin ice cream I had over the summer. It was weird because I expected the others mask sections to tingle except the hydrating coconut one and that was the only one that gave me a tingling sensation. It most definitely dried on my face like a mud mask. I left it on for about 20 minutes, then went to wash it off. Going to wash it off, it was nice and creamy mixed with water, I definitely did like that it came off easier than some other masks. The end results were absolutely the best, I felt that my skin was just rejuvenated, so clean, hydrated, and smooth baby soft. The detox really helped I honestly noticed a difference in my nose and forehead, with blackheads no longer there. The hydration helped with my under eyes and my upper lip. The recharging mask really gave my cheeks a great soothing feel that made them look brighter. Overall this mask was probably my favorite, I definitely will buy again, I would only use the detox and blueberries one again and maybe the coconut one, it just depends. Total Rating: 9.7/10

Okay so overall, I would recommend these masks to anyone, although I would say my first pick is the triple masking kit, then second is the cucumber calming mud mask, and my last pick would be the sheet mask. I enjoyed all masks, but it was a definite close one between the “Triple masking kit” and the “Cucumber calming clay mask”. Just remember to try the mask that best suits you for your skin type or what you feel your in need of. Check out the Yesto website!

Ten of my Holy-grail Skincare Tips//2018

Hey guys, sorry I have not posted since Thursday, I was quite busy this weekend and was unsure on what I should post. I am still unsure on what my posting days should be, so let me know what days you want me to post down below! So today’s post will be short and sweet, with ten of my holy grail skin care tips for healthy + clear skin!

  1. Make sure to either wash or clean your face before going to bed: Washing your face before bed is extremely beneficial for clear skin and helps prevent breakouts. By washing your face at night, you remove all the dirt, sebum, and oil on your face from the day. If you have are lazy, use micellar water or toner to at least cleanse the skin.
  2. Always keep your face moisturized: This way your skin gives a youthful glow and keeps it feeling silky. (See Winter Skin Essentials\\\2018)
  3. Drink Water to stay hydrated: Okay honestly, I know many get annoyed when people say to have nice skin is just drink water, but it is so true. Your skin has a pale yellow tone to it when you are dehydrated and your lips are extremely chapped, trust me drinking water will give your face a lively rosy flush to your face.
  4. Do not touch your Face: This is such a big violation in my skin care rules. Touching your face throughout the day will cause breakouts, especially because half the time you have probably touched something very germy and are then going to apply the same bacteria onto your face…. no just please no. If you really need to touch your face, then wash your hands before and then after again.
  5. DO NOT pick at your Pimples: Similarly, to not touching your face comes my next point of avoiding to pop/pick at your pimples! I cannot stress this enough, every time that I have picked at a pimple, it just lead to either more breakouts or scarring so please just resist the urge to pick at it. Now if you do want to pop a pimple, this is the best way to approach it; either using a cotton swab or round, dip rubbing alcohol onto the tip and apply to the problem area. The alcohol will kill the bacteria in the pimple also causing it to deflame the surrounding skin. This always works very well for when I have a stubborn pimple, then I follow it with witch hazel across my face. (I would only recommend trying this for a few stubborn pimples, not all over the face, since the alcohol is harsh and will dry your skin out).
  6. Keep a constant routine: Everyone’s mostly got their own routine, and well of course it’s good to try out new products every so often, but once you find skin products that work for you, keep it a constant routine this way, your skin does not become irritated or breakout when exposed to new products. (Check out my nighttime skin care routine: Nighttime Skin Care Routine 2018 |Cruelty-Free)
  7. Avoid putting your phone against your cheeks: Phones are some of the grossest things we come in contact with daily and when you put it against your cheeks or ear, that spreads the bacteria from your phone onto your face, causing breakouts! Yuck!🤢
  8. Be makeup free at least once a week: If you wear makeup everyday try to take a day off at least once a week to let your skin breathe.
  9. Do a face mask at least once a week: Doing a face mask helps improve the quality of your skin, and if it does not then switch to another mask. So treat your skin to whatever it is lacking, such as moisturization, exfoliation, or a glow!
  10. Make sure to apply SPF to your face: SPF is probably one of the most important things to do to your skin to prevent aging and wrinkles. Protect your skin from the sun and apply some sort of SPF it will help tremendously. So whether your daily moisturizer has it or you need to apply a sunscreen after, just do it to protect your face.

Nighttime Skin Care Routine 2018 |Cruelty-Free

Hello everyone, today’s post will consist of my nighttime skin care routine. I decided to give you the rundown of my current nighttime routine. My nighttime routine often varies between three scenarios for example; when I wear makeup, normal days, and when I am lazy. These are my all time favorite products, now onto my nighttime skin care!

Makeup days:

For the days that I wear makeup, I first start off with removing the surface layer of my makeup with Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin facial cleansing towelettes, these are great for taking off makeup, they do not leave my face greasy, and they clean the skin very well.Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset

Followed by that, I take my Milky Jelly cleanser by Glossier and pump some into my hands I massage the cleanser all throughout my face (even on my eyes because it’s safe to remove eye makeup 😉 ).Processed with VSCO with hb1 presetAfter thoroughly applying the product onto my face, I get my Foreo LUNA mini 2 to deeply cleanse the skin. I love this so much, because it is T-Sonic™ face brush with different intensities, making the skin appear more cleaner and smoother. I move the brush in circular motions all throughout my face. After, I then rinse my face with lukewarm water and pat dry the skin (never rub the skin, as it can cause irritation).  


No-makeup days:

On my makeup free day, I will wash my face similarly with my Foreo LUNA mini 2, but using the Purity facial cleanser by Philosophy (an amazing facial wash for sensitive skin). I apply some into my hands spreading the product throughout the skin and deeply cleansing the skin with the LUNA, rinsing and drying as normal.Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset


Daily routine:

These next few products are what I try to use everyday after washing my face, except on those lazy days, lol! I try to apply toner everyday, after washing my face. Toner is the key to good skin, it will kill all the bacteria and wipe away any oil on the skin, balancing your skin’s pH level. Toner also should soothe the skin and calm inflammation if any, I prefer an alcohol-free toner so the skin does not get dried out.  The absolute best toner out there is the Thayers Witch Hazel Lavender Toner.  This toner smells amazing, refreshes the skin, and improves the skins quality. All you have to do is apply some to a cotton round and wipe onto your face and neck.Processed with VSCO with hb1 presetFor days when my skin is a bit dry I apply the Burt’s Bees sensitive skin moisturizer (see Winter Skin Essentials), followed by my Sun Bum Lip Balm in the flavor Mango to hydrate my lips.IMG-0671.JPGBefore I go to bed, I spray my Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Chamomile, and Lavender  all over to calm my skin.Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset


For those lazy days:

We all have those lazy days when we just really do not want to wash our face or anything. The solution that I have for you is, using the Yes To cucumbers calming Micellar Cleansing Water on a cotton pad. This will help remove any dirt, oil, or makeup off the skin without needing to rinse afterwards. It is quick, effective, and the solution to a lazy person’s guide.Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset
