Oil Free Moisture!

13 Oct

I don’t know about you, but since this pandemic has begun, I’ve been breaking out more than ever due to wearing a mask. I’ve exclusively used the same Origins cream nightly for years(powerful lifting cream), until recently when I added a new moisturizer (clear improvement)to my regimen. It’s basically an acne treatment & oil-free moisturizer in one- formulated with 1% Salicylic Acid to help clear and help prevent new breakouts. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and already see an improvement. I go back and forth between the clear improvement and the powerful lifting cream every other night and it’s been working out perfect for me. If you’re looking to moisturize while preventing breakouts, I highly suggest this product.

My Favorite Face Masks!

17 Nov

I’m pretty big on skin care as most of you already know and my daily and weekly regimens are pretty intense. I take my skin seriously because I only get one face and quite frankly I don’t want a wrinkly one. Aging gracefully is beautiful but premature aging is not! (in my opinion) An important part of my regimen is face masks. I do a mask once or twice a week depending on the condition of my skin. My favorite face masks are by origins are pretty amazing! Shop my favorites below:)

One is a charcoal mask that clears pores. $26mask The other one clears pores as well but is a little more focused on clearing up acne and oil. I actually use this one as a spot treatment on my acne while I sleep. Out of trouble mask $26

My FAVORITE New Beauty Product!

20 Nov

I love BB creams and tinted moisturizers very much.  I’m a huge fan of Smash Box BB cream as well as Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer and recently I’ve been using Origins VitaZing moisturizer and I LOVE IT!  VitaZing is somewhat in a category of its own….like the products I previously mentioned, VitaZing is definitely a multi tasking moisturizer , it has SPF, anti oxidant rich mangosteen and a hint of color…….NOT weird orangey fake tan color either,  it just evens out my skin while adding a healthy glow.  I have medium/slightly deep colored skin and it gave me a glow!  It smells great and is fun to apply(comes out of the tube white with tiny brown specs and turns into a beautiful warm color as it’s rubbed into the skin) I cannot get enough of this stuff!  It’s great because I can wear it alone with or as a base for my makeup without it being cakey and with NO irritation!  It is much greater than I can even begin to explain…..please go to your local Origins and ask for a sample…..but before you do read the reviews they speak for themselves.  VitaZing is available at Origins $35 .  If you want a light moisturizer that evens out skin and is wearable everyday, this is your product!

Smashbox BB Cream: slightly heavy coverage

My Zit Zapping Secret

18 Apr

When I feel a “friend” about to surface I dab on this miracle gel and it usually gets rid of the blemish pretty quick.  I’m talking about Origins Super spot Remover. It comes in a tiny 0.3 fl. oz. bottle but works BIG magic. Origins description of this amazing product is spot on……Breakout? Heal, fight and fade it fast. Just dab on a dot and feel Oregano plus blemish-busting Salicylic Acid instantly speed healing while anti-spot technology helps correct post pimple hyperpigmentation(dark spots). Skin-calming Caffeine and Red Algae help relieve irritating redness. Retails for $13.50 and is available at Origins.

 

Can’t get enough of this facemask

28 Feb

I love a good facemask and I can’t get enough of Origins clear improvement active charcoal mask.  The activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out dirt and toxins. It makes me feel like a spring chicken, seriously my face is  tight ( not in a dry way)and clean feeling when I rinse it off. It’s super easy to use, I just put a hot towel on my face to open the pores, followed by the mask. I leave it on until it dries like armor, that thing won’t budge. The reviews are excellent online as well,g lad to see I’m not the only person who loves it.  ($22) available at Origins.
