Things I Love 2

Since I started it, I'll keep going. ;)

Another thing I love is the Yes to line of skin and hair products based in San Fran, CA. There's Carrots, Cucumber and Tomatoes, all conveniently (and awesomely) carried at Target. Their all natural goodness without the chemicals found in most other products. Their website describes the difference this way:


Yes To Carrots products are formulated for normal-to-dry skin and hair types. Yes To Cucumbers are formulated for sensitive skin types and color-treated hair. And Yes To Tomatoes products are formulated for oily/combination skin types and fine/thin hair.

Which might explain part of my new favorite product for sensitive skin:

This is the Yes to Cucumber facial towelettes. I've tried for years to wash my face night and day with my special facial clenser but honestly, I never have. I hate waiting for the water to get warm enough to wet the wash cloth which then drips down my arms as I'm washing my face. And then I have more laundry to do.

So my fantastic mother suggested I get some disposable wipes. I tried Boots brand first and they were fine but these I am loving. My face feels clean and fresh and the smell is FANTASTIC (no really, I want to bottle this stuff and wash my clothes in it, too!). It is super easy and I don't feel guilty throwing away the clothes because they are, ta-da, biodegradable. (I dislike paper towel, toilet paper, and tissue waste.)  Besides, face wash comes in a plastic container that is waste, too. And washing clothes uses up water. Maybe that makes me a bit of hypocrite but I can't win 'em all!

Their website describes them like this: Whether you're out and about, or hanging at home, we want to make sure you don't get the runaround when it comes to keeping your gorgeous face clean. Yes To Cucumbers Natural Glow Facial Towelettes gently remove dirt, sweat and makeup without the need to rinse! It's an exfoliant, detoxifyer and rejuvenater all wrapped up in one on-the-go biodegradable wipe, keeping you free and fresh-faced. 
• 98.7% Natural
• Biodegradable & FSC Certified
• Dermatologically & Opthalmologically Tested
• Oil-free, non-comedoenic, hypoallergenic

And one of my favorite parts about them is the little quip on the side of the wipes themselves:
At the office? The gym? Or some place really exotic, like your bathroom? Now you can quickly clean and nourish your face in one step, without water! Organic cucumber nurtures, green tea protects, aloe vera soothes, and Dead Sea minerals lock in the goodness. Yes! Cruelty free. Against animal testing.

Why yes, Cucumbers, my bathroom is quite exotic!
