Skincare Favourites - Origins


I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of the brand Origins - it's probably one of the most talked about skincare brands within the beauty blogging world. And there's a very good reason for all the hype, their products really do produce great results. I hadn't tried too much from them until I purchased a gift set for myself last year, and now their products feature heavily in my regular skincare routine.




My current day cream of choice is the GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturiser. My skin really needs perking up, particularly in the winter when it's so drab and dry. This moisturiser really gives my skin a boost, making it looking more radiant, and generally just giving me a healthier look. It's a really good base for foundation too, as it's hydrating and doesn't sit on the skin, making foundation application smooth. The final step of my evening skincare routine usually involves the High Potency Night-a-Mins, as I find this to be the ideal night cream for my skin type. Again, this does a really good job of hydrating the skin, and it's left feeling soft and smooth in the morning. This paired with The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum in Oil is my ultimate night time combo.


I've really struggled to find a good eye cream for tackling dark circles, but was converted to the GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream when I received a sample of it. Just like the GinZing moisturiser, this really brightens up my eye area, disguising dark circles really well. It leaves my under eyes feeling hydrated without being too heavy for concealer. When my skin is feeling extra thirsty, I'll pop on the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask just before bedtime, and I wake up with super soft, dewy skin. This has been one of my holy grail skincare products for quite a while, and I have a couple in back up just in case! The smell of this is really beautiful too, ideal if you're going to be leaving it on your face all night! You can read a full review of this mask here.

Have you tried any Origins products? What's your favourite skincare brand?

  4. My favourite product from Origin is the 10 Minute Solution to Problem Skin mask. I tend to break out really bad when I get my eyebrows done, and this clears it all up in a couple of days! I haven't tried anything in your collection, but I may just need to, especially that Refreshing Eye Cream.
