Yes to Blueberries: Cleansing Facial Towelettes come in a pack of 40 and at the time of this review, retail price was set at $7.99. The wipes themselves measure a 7 inch by 7 inch square.

The wipes come in a recyclable plastic bag-type packaging with a snap-close area to keep the wipes from getting exposed to the air. They are already damp and you simply use them as-is on your skin. No getting your skin wet or wetting the cloth. You also do not need to rinse your face after use.

Do They Smell Like Blueberries

We know you're dying to know. We were! There is a light, fruity scent, but I wouldn't say it smells like blueberries. The label says "With Apple and Lemon Peel" and after reading that it helps place the lemony scent. It's sweet and fruity.

Things We Loved:

• Toughness of the Towelette: Yes to Blueberries: Cleansing Facial Towelettes hold their own when it comes to cleaning your face. There's nothing more irritating than a flimsy facial cleansing cloth (Dollar store cloths, anyone?) and these are not flimsy.
• Light Scent: Though we were expecting a super blueberry scent, we were not disappointed in the light fruity scent these cloths have.
• Price: Priced at $8 for 40 cloths, that brings these cloths to only $0.20 each. One is all you need for your entire face, and using a cleansing cloth gives your skin a slight exfoliation daily. Can't beat that price.

Things We Didn't Love

• Promise of Moisturizing Skin: The directions on the cloths read, "Remove towelette and gently wipe across face to remove makeup, dirt and oil. No need to rinse. Skin is left feeling clean, moisturized and bright-as-the-sunshine." When we were done using these wipes, are skin definitely felt clean but absolutely not moisturized. Please use moisturizer every day after cleaning your face.
• Short Life Span: This isn't a huge negative, but because the Yes To lines use mostly natural ingredients, the life span is shorter than those that use heavy preservatives. The lifespan of these wipes is only 3 months.

Review: Yes to Cucumbers: Facial Cleansing Cloths

We love facial cleansing cloths and use them almost every night before bed. We love the ease of using them at the sink and not having water running down our arms. These wipes have antioxidants in them from the blueberries and because you do not need to rinse off your skin after use, the antioxidants stay on your skin. They are priced right, smell great and available at many drugstores. (We got ours at Walgreens.)
