Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey friends!I've recently tried out a few Youth to the People [YTTP] products for the past month and I haven't found many reviews on their products, so I decided to post my experience and current routine!Skin type: Extremely dehydrated, acne prone, and oily. I had a bad experience with Pixi Glow Tonic (my own fault but I over exfoliated my skin to the high heavens and damaged my moisture barrier to the point where I'm still recovering, 6 months later. I'm very mad at myself).Environment: Southwestern Ontario, Canada currently in humid fall-ish warm weather.The past 6 months have been a rough go, but I bought the Youth Minis Kit from Sephora because I was very interested in the brand and I really liked their values (cruelty free, nutrition for the skin, etc.). I don't necessarily look for clean products but the ingredient list on all their products is so. good. The kit comes with their cleanser, superfood moisture cream, adaptogen deep moisture cream, superberry oil, and their superberry dream overnight mask. As well, I purchased their superfood face mask this week.Since my skin is so dehydrated, I haven't used their moisture cream because it seems too lightweight to be hydrating enough, and my skin has just stopped breaking out from the aforementioned dehydration. I also have't used their cleanser, because I am obsessed with Glossier's Milky Jelly and it'll have to be pried from my cold, dead hands.Here's my current routine:AM:Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser (HG)Klairs Supple Prep Unscented tonerSkin 1004 Centella ampouleYTTP Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream + 1 drop of YTTP Superberry Hydrate + Glow oilCanmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF 50 PA ++++ (HG)PM:Remove makeup with Banilla Clean it Zero Purity (HG)Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser (HG)Klairs Supple Prep Unscented tonerSkin 1004 Centella ampouleYTTP Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream + 3 drops of YTTP Superberry Hydrate + Glow oilYTTP Superberry Hydrate and Glow Dream Mask (HG)Twice weekly I exfoliate with Farmacy Honeymoon Glow and once weekly I'll be using YTTP Superfood Face Mask.As you'll see from my reviews, I really enjoy everything that I've tried from YTTP. However, it really sucks how expensive all their products are (they do have great ingredients, but still). I was able to try all this due to some Sephora gift cards and strategic returning & exchanging of previous products I didn't like. I also don't enjoy how everything is in a jar. It's a cute aesthetic, and I always wash my hands obsessively before applying products, but I don't like all that air exposure and I'm probably going to decant parts of my full sized products into their deluxe sample jars to reduce the air exposure on the entire product.Anyway. Here is my experience with some of their products:YTTP Ataptogen Deep Moisture Cream: This is the first moisturizer I've been able to use that hasn't broken me out. I've tried a lot these past couple months, and this makes my skin feel so. good. It really plumps my skin and keeps my face hydrated all day. I actually add a drop of the Glow Oil to this in the am and 3 drops at night. It wears well under makeup, also. I've recently purchased a full size of this. I honestly thought I would never be able to use squalane due to breaking out from The Ordinary's oil, but this stuff has actually helped clear up my skin.Ingredients: Purified Water, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Octyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, Propanediol, Stearic Acid, Rhodiola Rosea, Ocimum Tenuiflorum (Holy Basil), Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha), Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi Mushroom), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Mono Laurate, Squalane (Olive), Phenoxyethanol, Simmondsia Chineses (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Pentapeptide-59, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Maltodextrin, Carbomer, Mixed Tocopherols, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Panthenol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Oil, Caramel, Xanthan GumYTTP Superberry Hydrate and Glow Oil: This stuff makes my skin so fricken glowy it's insane. I love it. I've gotten compliments on my skin since starting this routine, and I fully credit the glowy-ness to this. It's definitely not a necessary item, though. I always add it to the moisturizer (my skin is THAT dehydrated) but I might start scaling back and maybe only using it at night because it seems that my moisture barrier is happy again and I don't think I need this during the day anymore. I've purchased a full size of this. It also smells divine.Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil\, Dicapryl Carbonate, Simmondsia Chineses (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Opuntia Tuna Extract(Prickly Pear), Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract (Acai), Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Extract, Aristotelia Chilensis (Maqui) Fruit Extract, And Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract , Squalane Olive, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil*, Linum Usitatissimum (Flaxseed) Oil*, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Oil*, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil*, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil*, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil*, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil*, Natural Fragrance, Amylcinnamyl Alcohol, Citral, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool.*YTTP Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask: Honestly, if you're going to try anything from YTTP, let it be this mask. After using this about 3 times (I use it nightly as an occlusive replacement for vaseline) my skin has never felt so soft. I can't recommend this mask enough. It's light enough that I haven't experienced any clogged pores, but also occlusive enough that I wake up and still feel the hydration on my face. It does sink in really well, but I've been using a thicker layer than necessary so I wake up and can still feel it on my face. I can't say if it's brightening yet, but my skin has definitely improved and evened out since using this. I obviously bought the full size of this.Ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau(Aqua),Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Betaine, Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid, Opuntia Tuna (Prickly Pear) Extract, Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract, Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Extract, Aristotelia Chilensis (Maqui) Fruit Extract, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Phenoxyethanol, Glyceryl Stearyl Citrate,Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Glyceryl Laurate, Squalane Olive, Carbomer, Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Natural Fragrance, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)YTTP Superfood Skin Reset Face Mask: I won't lie, I've only used this once, which is definitely not enough time to notice a difference. I'm not a huge fan of clay masks but this didn't dry my skin at all. It actually is pretty hydrating. It seemed to calm some redness, as well. I'm still on the fence but the Sephora lady was raving about it so hopefully I see some good things soon.Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Kaolin, Organic Glycerin, Organic Brassica Oleracea (Kale) Leaf Extract, Organic Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) Leaf Extract, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Organic Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Organic Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Extract, Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Extract, Organic Spirulina Platensis (Spirulina) Extract, Plankton Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Algae Extract, Chlorophyll, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Ascorbate, Lecithin, Natural Fragrance, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium SorbateOverall, I highly recommend this brand. I've been using these products for a month now, and my skin has improved so much and is almost back to the way it looked before I went crazy on the Glow Tonic. I haven't broken out from anything, and usually if my skin didn't like products it would break out within a day.I didn't realize how long this review would be (I'm sorry!) but if anyone has any questions or would like a review of other products in my routine I can add them in the comments. Thanks for reading!
