Origins

I’ve found a new favourite brand when it come to beauty products – Origins. It all started last year when I had an overlay of two hours each way at Copenhagen airport every time I went to Paris. Needless to say I spent way too much money in the airport shops… I had only read about Origins’ products in Marie Claire and when they opened a counter of their own I just had to try. And I was hooked.

I started out with trying the You're Getting Warmer mask, but it turned out to be too strong for my skin. Instead I gave it to mum, which now love this cinnamon mask. The mask I’m using now is Drink Up, which is perfect for my dry and sensitive skin. The next thing I tried was Well Off, a make up remover that actually removed all eye makeup with out leaving an oily trace.

Going to London last fall I finally made it to Origins own shop down in Covent Garden. There I found salespersons that really knew what they where talking about and I bought more products to try. No Puffery cooling eye mask and Never A Dull Moment body scrub. Yet another two product that I just love.

Last week’s trip to London meant of course another visit to the Covent Garden shop. My attention (very weak, but still) was to only get some more eye make up remover and skin mask. Hm, well… I also bought Sole Searcher foot scrub, which is heavenly now during the summer when you walk barefoot in many shoes, and Soothing Sea Salts for the bath. A lovely smoothing and relaxing smell of tangerine, orange and vanilla.

So what can I say? I’ve become a bit of an Origins fanatic, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to continue to try their products. Just like Dr Hauschka Origins uses only products from the nature and its own remedies. Something that I think is very important. I have acne scares and I’m slowly getting some wrinkles around my eyes, but I’m not going to treat them with any artificial things just to look better. My skin will still look healthy and young with nature’s own products.
