The other day I was given a health book and it talked a lot
about how women go on numerous amounts of diets just to get skinny and in my
opinion I think a lot of people out there forget that losing weight isn’t just
about being skinny, but it’s about being healthy, it’s training your body to
eat good foods and choose healthier options, it’s about walking up a flight of
stairs without being out of breath, it’s seeing the changes in yourself,
getting out there and being more active.
With eating the right foods, you reap so many benefits
especially for your skin. So okay, you might get the occasional red spot here
and there on your face but I mean who doesn’t?
When you eat a lot of fruit, some vegetables and just A LOT
less junk then you usually would, your skin just glows, believe it or not
makeup can only do so much sometimes and people forget that. Sure we can give
you that fake glow but wouldn’t you want to have a natural glow all the time?
One of the reasons I love winter is because my skin settles
down so much. I don’t need to use that toner to get rid of the excess oil
because there isn’t any, the only thing I need more of is moisturiser and even
the oiliest skin gets dry, so moisturise away just choose a water based one
instead of oil based.
I tweeted the other day that I was going to get some new
products in to try and one of the products that came in was skin care. The
brand Yes to tomatoes is all about
skin and hair care products. The first product I’ve tried from this brand
really surprised me. If you don’t know, I believe in giving every product out there
a chance, if you could see my makeup kit, I have a lot of different brands, not
all the time will you find one brand that will work well with every skin type
or even trying to achieve a particular look.

| Yes to tomatoes daily pore scrub (113g) |
So the Yes to tomatoes daily pore scrub really worked for me
in the sense that it got rid of the redness in a blemish that I had the other
night. One of the reasons I was so excited to use this was for the fact that it
helped eliminate redness faster and when reading that health book of mine,
darker vegetables give more nutrients, like broccoli will always beat
cauliflower and having lycopene-rich tomatoes (an antioxidant found in redder
vegetables and fruits) in this product, I just knew this would be a great.
However it does claim
to unclog pores and make blackheads run for cover, with the pores I would say I
haven’t seen any difference keeping in mind I’ve used this once last night and
the most I can say for now is that the red blemish I had on my cheek has gone
which really surprised me.
This pore scrub is made with natural ingredients and contains
bisabolol and ginger where infused help to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness
faster and calm inflammation and contains salicylic acid (found in all your
cleansers) to help get rid of acne and unclog pores.
When using this, it was scent free and for me it was a mild
face wash, it didn’t dry my skin but it definitely eliminated the redness on my
skin so that’s a huge plus for me. Definitely will give this product a try for
the next month to see how the pores are going but I’m liking it so far.
