Yes To Cucumbers Sensitive Skin Daily Gel Cleanser - Review*


Yes To Cucumbers was created for people with sensitive skin and colour-treated hair to gently hydrate and soothe with their organic cucumbers, aloe vera and green tea. If you suffer reactions to other beauty products, redness or irritation, or to changes in the weather then Yes To Cucumbers will suit you very well. The range calms and soothes irritated skin and helps rebuild damaged cells, keeping the skin well hydrated. There are no phthalates, parabens or SLS.

Yes To Cucumbers soothes sensitive skin with organic cucumbers, aloe vera & green tea. This Daily Gel Cleanser is made from a 97% natural formulation including cucumber which is a soothing vegetable extract and green tea, which is a calming herb. The Yes To Cucumbers Daily Gel Cleanser cleans deeply, gently lifting dirt and impurities from your sensitive skin, leaving your complexion soothed, calm and clean.

The product I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this fresh looking Cucumber Gel Cleanser from Yes To. This product is made from natural petroleum and is free from SLS and parabens! I was surprised by the smell of this product as it has a very light and refreshing scent. I like using cleansers on my facial brush and this product worked really well with it. It foamed nicely and didn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards like others can. If you don't have a facial brush you can simply apply the gel to your wet face and massage gently in small circular motions with your fingertips for about a minute. Then rinse well with warm water and pat dry. After trying this product a few times I would definitely repurchase it again as it makes my face feel refreshed and the gel itself smells lovely.

SkinLikes 100% Natural Roll-On Deodorant - Review*




SkinLikes products are manufactured with just a few, well-chosen ingredients. All are clean and fully traceable from origin to the customer. Most (but not all) are organic. Many are food-grade, which gives us the philosophy that (in theory) if you can eat them, then you can surely and safely put them on your skin. The fragrances that we use that give our products their aroma comes from the plant-based therapeutic essential oils that we use. None of them are manufactured in a factory.

SkinLikes have created a formula that gives you peace of mind which has no sting (even after shaving), kills bacterial odour in sweat instantly, doesn't clog pores or leave white marks on clothes and is completely free from irritating chemicals. Using food-grade, plant-based ingredients and nothing else, this product as with everything that they produce have not and never will be tested on animals. Apply this gentle, natural underarm deodorant after showering. In extreme heat or when exercising, reapply for best results. The wonderful natural ingredients in this product are Scottish spring water, bicarbonate of soda, xanthan gum and a special blend of bacteria-busting therapeutic essential oils and nothing else.

After having my eye on this roll-on deodorant for a while, I was kindly sent some to review! Since going vegan, I've found it quite hard to get on with roll-on deodorants. Sadly I haven't been able to get on with this deodorant either, which is quite disappointing as I really love the smell. My only problem with this deodorant is that it leaves my armpits feeling really wet, even after leaving the product to dry. I did find the roll-on ball itself very simple and easy to use, which is a surprise as some can be loaded with too much product or not roll properly. Sadly I won't be using this deodorant again which is a shame, as I really like the smell. I do recommend that you try this deodorant out though as it might be perfect for you.

Acorelle Eau de Toilette in Intense Cherry - Review*





Acorelle is a French range of certified organic fragrance, skin care, body care and baby care. All of the Acorelle Eau de Toilette range is 88% natural and are formulated by perfumers in Grasse, the birthplace of perfume. All of their scents are guaranteed to be free of phthalates, nitro-musks and colouring. 

A tender, gourmet perfume thanks to the red berry notes blended with precious gardenia and orchid fragrances, underpinned by warm, woody base notes.

The second product that I decided I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this lovely looking Eau de Toilette (dilute form of perfume) by Acorelle in their Intense Cherry scent. I've said this before, but since going vegan with my cosmetics I've been eager to try and find to a good smelling scent. I've tried a few testers of various brands and scents, but I haven't found anything that's made me want to buy the bigger version. But for once I actually really, really like the scent of this Eau de Toilette! When I first sprayed myself I was hit with a lovely scent of subtle cherry. I find that I only need one spritz of this Eau de Toilette to last me a good few hours. However, If you like a more intense scent then this product is also great for building up throughout the day. I would say this product is great to wear during the day and during the night as it's a very versatile scent and can be worn either lightly or heavily.

Yes To Tomatoes Combination Skin Daily Pore Scrub - Review*




Yes To Tomatoes is specially formulated with witch hazel and salicylic acid to treat acne breakouts and keep oily-combination skin in tip-top condition.

This acne-fighting scrub is powerful enough to combat blackheads and breakouts, but gentle enough for daily use. Ground mango seeds and bamboo exfoliate skin and help skin turnover a clean, clear surface. The Salicylic Acid helps to combat acne-prone skin and blemishes, Tomatoes help unclog pores and a blend of Ginger Root and Bisabolol helps skin avoid redness.

The first product I decided that I would like to review from MyPure this month, was this Yes To Tomatoes Combination Skin Daily Pore Scrub! I've always liked the idea of the Yes To range as they have so many different products to offer. At first, I was a bit sceptical about how this face scrub might smell, as it is made from tomatoes... But after having a smell of the product I was very surprised at how mild the scent was and how little it smelt of tomatoes. I find the scrub itself to be quite thin, but despite this I find the small grains work well with the consistency of the product. After using the scrub on my face, my skin felt clean and a lot softer. With the spot/acne reducing side of this product I haven't been able to see any physical change in my appearance as my skin is so up and down lately. But hopefully, the more I use the product the more I will notice a difference in my appearance.
