As the years slip by frighteningly fast, I’m only too aware that my face not only deserves, but frankly needs good quality products, and so I absolutely love Origins. Their mission is to care for skin holistically using the power of plants and science, and their scientists spend their days creating transformative skincare formulas, by discovering high-performing, bioactive elements within natural ingredients. Consequently their new products are at least 90% naturally-derived and free from all the nasties which, sadly, permeate so many skincare products – including parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, paraffin, and diethanolamine (DEA). Origins are committed to sustainability and responsible ingredient sourcing too.
So you can imagine my excitement at discovering their 4-Piece Mini Mask Skincare Gift Set – four travel-sized (15 ml) face masks in a box. Let me share with you – the experience, not the face masks (they’re mine, and far too good to share).
Firstly, Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado Butter & Hyaluronic Acid. This totally did what it said on the tin – as I’ve aged my skin has become quite dry and I couldn’t believe how my wrinkly old mug became positively peach-like after just one application. It lasts for 72 hrs, so just twice a week is enough to restore those youthful looks.
Next in the box – Clear Improvement™ Active Charcoal Mask for a true deep-cleansing. Charcoal naturally absorbs toxins and has many medical uses in this regard. Origins have captured this natural property using Bamboo Charcoal to draw out environmental toxins and unplug blocked pores.
The third treasure is Original Skin™ Retexturizing Mask. A blend of clay and Jojoba Beads, it gently draws out dirt and debris, whilst exfoliating, retexturizing and minimizing pores in one simple step.
Finally my favourite, if it’s possible to choose one – GinZing™ Glow-Boosting Mask. The Vitamin C and encapsulated Mineral Optics create an instant, healthy-looking glow and brighter skin. I can vouch for the amazing effect. I just looked and felt ten years younger instantly. People remarked on how great I looked. I just love it.
So how much do these mini-miracles cost? Well, just £25, will secure you this fabulous collection on the Origins website.
So if you’re still puzzling what to buy your loved ones and friends for Christmas, I suggest you hot foot to the Origins website for some incredible top quality products. I will be shopping for myself there (because I deserve it).
