Yes to Tomatoes has done it again! Since their bar soap, I have been a fan of charcoal. It is one ingredient that has really kept my skin in line this summer. Since I worked at a camp, my skin has dealt with intense sun exposure, sweat, sunscreen, and pool water. Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Cleanser has done wonders in keeping my face in check. It doesn't dry out my skin at all. It has jojoba beads (instead of microbeads) that provide a great light exfoliation and also aid in moisturizing. It does not have the slightly weird smell like the bar soap does. The product itself has a great texture, feels like butter on my skin. I use it once day, sometimes twice.
Along with this cleanser, I’ve been using the Detoxifying Mud Mask. This product is also very creamy. When first applying it, it seems like you need to apply more, but less is more. After 10 minutes, my skin was left feeling clean and soft. Nothing is better than not having your skin dry out. I try to use this at least twice a week.
After 6 weeks of sun and sweat I’m proud to say I have no pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc thanks to charcoal. Both products have salicylic acid which helps in preventing future breakouts. If you haven't purchased these products or any products with charcoal, ask yourself, “Do I want to glo up?”
