Youth To The People expands cleanser collection with the launch of an exfoliator
We're finally getting an exfoliator from Youth To The People. The vegan, cruelty-free brand known for marrying science and superfoods, has now introduced a second cleanser, nearly ten years after their beloved Superfood Cleanser first made waves. You can get your hands on the Exfoliate + Brighten Superfruit Cleanser in Sephora Middle East stores or online. Formulated to be non-stripping and non-drying, it is suitable for most skin types. It's a great option for those with sensitive skin or for anyone looking to simplify their skincare routine. Inside the bottle, you'll find papaya and passionfruit extracts doing the heavy lifting with natural enzymes, while caffeine and yerba mate step in to wake up tired-looking skin. It blends four exfoliating acids – salicylic, glycolic, lactic and phytic – to help speed up cell turnover, revealing smoother, glowier skin underneath. And to top it all off, a little hit of ginger root and vitamin C helps brighten things up. Use it up to three times a week and the results are near instant, refined skin texture, minimises pores and gives you a lovely 'fresh out of the salon' glow. Co-founder Greg Gonzalez calls it 'a dream realised' after years of careful formulation to bring you the perfect exfoliating treatment cleanser. Whether you're already a Superfood Cleanser fan or totally new to the brand, this one's definitely a glow-getter worth trying. Get it now:

Artist Aseel Yaagoub: ‘My goal is to preserve Saudi culture'
JEDDAH: 'My work reflects moments from daily life, Saudi and Gulf heritage, and cultural elements in a distinctive and creative way, where I recreate and reimagine traditional symbols and motifs with a contemporary vision, creating a fusion of past and present in an innovative manner,' Saudi artist Aseel Yaagoub tells Arab News. 'I see my environment as a rich visual narrative, and I love translating these stories into artworks.' Drawing and painting have been an important part of Yaagoub's life for as long as she can remember. Over time, she has shifted from focusing on realism to taking a more abstract, expressionistic approach. A post shared by أسيل آل يعقوب | ASEEL AL-YAAGOUB (@ She admires Saudi artists including Taghreed Al-Baghshi, Zainab Al-Mahouzi, Marwa Al-Najjar, and Bayan Yassin, who depict heritage in their work. Internationally, she says she has been influenced by Claude Monet's technique and the way he captures light and movement, as well as Vincent van Gogh's vibrant colors and bold, expressive strokes. "My goal is to preserve and document Saudi culture,' the artist said of her work. (Supplied) 'I constantly seek inspiration by exploring the works of other artists, whether through social media or by visiting art exhibitions,' she says. 'I create initial sketches for my ideas and experiment with colors and materials. I don't like to plan everything in detail, I leave room for spontaneity, allowing unexpected elements to emerge, which gives each artwork a unique, distinctive character. A post shared by Sephora Middle East (@sephoramiddleeast) 'My goal is to preserve and document Saudi culture,' she continues. 'I often use mixed-media techniques, layering different materials and colors to create depth and unique textures. Constant experimentation and practice have helped me refine my approach.' Her fascination with facial features, particularly noses, plays a significant role in her artistic expression, she says. 'The most distinctive feature of my characters is their noses, as that is the first thing that catches my attention in any face I see. I believe noses, in their various shapes, are unique and beautiful, which is why I enjoy highlighting them in my portraits.' A post shared by أسيل آل يعقوب | ASEEL AL-YAAGOUB (@ Al-Yaagoub's work is deeply personal, often incorporating elements that hold sentimental value. One of her most cherished pieces, 'The Family,' portrays her parents and symbolizes warmth and care. 'I wanted them to have a personal touch in this piece, my mother stitched part of it, and I incorporated a scrap of fabric from my father's shemagh. This made the artwork deeply sentimental and emotionally significant.' Another of her major projects is 'A Night of Joy,' a series of six paintings capturing celebrations in the Eastern Region. 'This project is very dear to me as it reflects my childhood memories, which continues to resonate with me to this day,' she says. Al-Yaagoub is excited about the transformation happening in Saudi Arabia's art scene. 'There is now more space for experimentation and showcasing new ideas, enhancing artistic diversity and attracting wider audiences to the field,' she says. 'Art has become a bridge between the past and the future, ensuring that our cultural identity remains vibrant and ever-evolving.' A post shared by أسيل آل يعقوب | ASEEL AL-YAAGOUB (@ Looking ahead, Aseel hopes to expand her reach and participate in international exhibitions. 'One of my biggest goals is to host my first solo exhibition soon, where I can showcase my artistic journey and how my style has evolved over time. 'I want the audience to feel an emotional connection to my work, whether by recalling personal memories or appreciating the beauty of heritage and culture,' she continues. 'I aim for my art to have a narrative depth that tells stories about culture and identity. And I strive to spread joy through the vibrant colors I incorporate into all my pieces.'
