Current Skincare Rountine with Origins
Hello TEA Birds!
Today I want to talk about skincare. I’ve always paid a lot of attention to my skin because growing up I had acne. And because I had acne, my skin has alway been a major source of insecurity. Over the years I spent plenty of money on skincare products to treat acne and on make-up to cover it all up.
I thought that after high school I would be done with acne forever but boy was I wrong. I was hit with severe adult acne in my late twenties. (Yup, adult acne is a real thing!) Honestly, my only recommendation for those of you that have severe acne is to visit a dermatologist. I wish I would have visited a dermatologist sooner, to help prevent some of the scarrings.
Anywho today I’m happy to say I don’t have any acne YAY, although I do still get the occasional zit. And of course, I still deal with white and blackheads, enlarged pores and dull skin. Dull skin is a major one for me right now. I just feel like dull skin makes me look tired and older. And just like everyone else I like my skin to look youthful and radiant. Because… Why not?
That is why I love these Origins Skin Care Products! After a week of using them daily, I feel my skin is smoother brighter and more youthful.
Here’s a breakdown of the skincare products pictured above & how I use them.
- Check & Balances (Frothy Face Wash) – I loved this face wash from the first moment I used it. It smells kind of minty fresh and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. Not dried out and tight.
- GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer – This little orange bottle smells delicious, very citrusy. I love using it in the morning to wake up my skin and give it the hydration that it needs.
- GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream – This eye cream almost doubles as a highlighter. It moisturizes the skin under my eyes, it brightens and depuffs. It wakes up my entire face bright and early in the AM.
- Clear Improvement (Active Charcol Mask) – This is something I would use once or twice a week to clear up my pores. I apply enough product to cover my entire T-zone area and cheeks; I leave it on for about 10-15 mins and then rinse away all the dirt and impurities.
- High-Potency Night-A-Mins – Mineral enriched renewal cream. This is the perfect finish to my night routine. It replenishings the moisture in my skin while I sleep and I wake up with smoother skin. Not to mention it also smells delicious.
