Kale and Spinach Don't Just Belong in Your Morning Juice

Since a very young age, my mother usually makes me and my siblings a glass of juice or smoothie every morning. Often times, she cold-presses kale, spinach, cilantro, basil, green apples, and some lemon together to create a green juice. This particular drink is dripping its way into many skincare products.

Recently, I stumbled across a skincare line called “Youth to the People.” I love their idea of incorporating superfoods into their products. They make all their products in small batches in California and are completely natural, vegan, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and do not use any synthetic fragrance or color. (They have the “Clean at Sephora” seal!). The packaging is glass too! There are 2 products that I have been eyeing on ever since I found YTTP. Those products are the “Superfood Cleanser” and the “Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream.” I purchased a set that includes both of them in mini versions. Here’s why I absolutely love them!

Superfood Cleanser

Cleansing is a must in your skincare routine. That’s why, it’s important to find a good, non-stripping cleanser. I have been enjoying the Superfood Cleanser very much! It does a good job of removing makeup and the dirt on my skin while not drying it out! The best way to describe it is powerful, but gentle! It is formulated with cold-pressed kale, spinach, and green tea. Why these ingredients? Kale is rich in vitamins C, E, and K. Spinach soothes the skin and is full of moisture, along with cooling properties. Green tea is an anti-inflammatory ingredient, packed with essential fatty acids. It detoxifies the skin too. This cleanser smells like fresh vegetables! I like to pour around a teaspoon of the product onto my palm, add some water, and lather it up. Then, I massage the cleanser onto my wet skin for around a minute. Finally, I rinse it off with warm water. I love the way it leaves my skin feeling: Soothed, soft, and clean. Perfect for all skin types!!

Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream

Vegetables are packed with antioxidants, which help boost skin's hydration and fight off free radicals! The Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream has similar star ingredients to the Superfood Cleanser: Kale, Spinach, and Green Tea. It also has one more ingredient that increases your skin’s moisture levels! That is Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid instantly restores, balances and hydrates. This moisturizer has a lightweight, air-whipped, gel-like consistency (like a cloud). It smells just the the cleanser: clean, light, and “vegetably.” After toner, I like to smooth a dime-size amount onto my skin. It’s quite cooling upon application and absorbs very quickly! Only after a week of using this, I’ve seen results. I realised that this moisturizer does an amazing job of balancing my skin. My skin texture is so much smoother, and I don’t get blemishes as often as I used to! This is most suitable for oily, combination, and normal skin. I would not recommend this for dryer skin types. It’s definitely my current favourite moisturizer!!

I’m extremely happy with these two products, and will be purchasing the full sizes soon :)

Lots of veggies,
