Yes To Skincare Recalls Facemask After People Had Horrible Reactions

Before Christmas, Kimberly Francis bought a charcoals face mask sold by the skincare company Yes To at her local Target. She thought it would be a great stocking stuffer for her 11-year old stepdaughter. But after her daughter used the mask on Monday night, things turned for the worst.

Francis's daughter ran upstairs to her parents and told them the mask "felt like it was burning" her face. Kimberly Francis told Buzzfeed News that "We had her take it off and her face was already clearly burned." Francis, thinking on her feet, quickly applied lidocaine to sooth the pain but the damage was done. The child's face was deep red and said that she almost left it on despite the pain because the package reads, "if it's tingling it's working."

Once the picture went viral, many consumers wrote about their own experiences with Yes To. The company responded by pulling the Unicorn Paper Mask from store shelves. Posting to their Facebook page, Yes To acknowledged that some of their customers had experienced adverse reactions. Customers that did experience skin irritation were told to contact the company's Customer Care team by emailing customer care.

Another mother, Donna Baines posted that her 15-year-old daughter had a very bad reaction when she used a Yes To mask. She wrote saying "She put it on for 15 minutes, and when she took it off, her face looked like it was sunburned and was very itchy." Although the skincare company preaches about using natural ingredients, it may be possible that these masks were contaminated.

But it isn't just children who are having these horrible reactions. Brittany Armstrong posted to Facebook saying that her face had become bright red after using the Yes To Unicorn Paper Mask. She said she felt a burning sensation and immediately knew that something was wrong.

Before trying any new skincare product, take precaution and read what ingredients are used. Dermatologists say that one of the first signs of a possible reaction occurring is the feeling of itching, stinging, or burning. It's also recommended that applying a cooling compress or taking an antihistamine will help with soothing the redness and swelling.

Hopefully, we'll see how Yes To handles this situation besides recalling their product and if they make changes to their skincare masks after the outcry.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
