The Yes to Skincare* range is one I first got to know many years ago with the Yes To Carrots range, within which was a scrub I absolutely loved. Fast forward a few years and anyone who personally knows me will know how much I adore tomatoes but to use them in skincare is something which intrigues me.
I was sent two products from the Yesto Tomatoes range and both masks - the Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask and Detoxifying Charcoal Paper Mask sit within the Yes To Tomatoes collection, of which, the products are designed for those with combination and blemish-prone skin, aside from these two masks there is also a fair number of other products to choose from and are all guaranteed to contain at least 95% natural ingredients.
I love a good sheet mask, they are often less time consuming than applying a liquid version and depending on the material they are made from, they feel quite soothing and relaxing on the skin. This Detoxifying Charocal Paper Mask (£3.49) is a single use mask

Designed to be used on freshly cleansed skin, this mask is formulated with charcoal to detoxify and clean pores and tomatoes which are a natural source of antioxidants. To use, you simply need to unfold it from the sachet and then apply it to your skin, fitting it around you nose and eyes to give a comfortable placing and then let it work its magic for around 10 minutes. During those 10 minutes, you might feel a slight tingling on the skin, this is absolutely normal and nothing to worry about, I felt only the slightest of tingles, similar to that of Pixi Glow Tonic the first few times I used it.
The second mask is the Yesto Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask which is packaged within a squeezy plastic tube and what I like about how this mask is designed is the applicator which sits at the end, it doubles up as a spatula to give an even coverage of the mask.
Again, this mask is formulated with charcoal and tomato extract which helps to eliminate dead skin and excess oil, helping to leave skin naturally clear. To use, simply smooth a thick, even layer of the mask over the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, avoiding the eye area, eyebrows and hairline using the spatula. Allow the mask to fully dry, which usually takes around 15 minutes and then, again using the same spatula, lift the edges of the mask and peel from the skin, something which I always find quite a satisfying task.
I liked using both of these products and even though I suffered no reactions from either, for the price they would make a nice gift or treat for someone, especially as currently, everything is on offer via Feelunique*.
