As my
skin has gone through a bit of a rough stage, I needed something that would give
it a boost full of energy, radiance and
brightness. I had my eye on this mask from Origins for a while now, but the price (€25,00) was the main reason
why I was always hesitant to purchase it.
Then I got a lovely note from Douglas.nl
saying that I got a €5 gift card, because I reached a certain level of points.
And as you know me: I had to spend it.
I had
a quick browse on their website and I was thinking about getting some Zoeva brushes, but then I remembered that I really wanted to
try an Origins mask and there was no way to change my mind.
Origins has a lot of nice masks, but my eye immediately fell on the Origins Clear Improvement Mask. Mainly
because I heard the most wonderful things about it. Also the words charcoal and removing impurities sound like magic to my ears, so I popped it in
my basket, went to check-out and waited patiently for it to arrive the next
day.
As soon as the delivery man left, I opened the package and I was so
excited to finally have a real Origins
mask in my hands. I removed my make-up, applied it on my face, took a bath with
my Lush Brightside Bubble Bar and let the mask do it's magic.
After removing the grey mask I found it quite drying and not at all what
I expected. I didn't get an allergic reaction, which was a bonus, but it just
didn't do the job for me. As I did spent €25,00 on a mask, I wasn't going to
just throw it in the bin, so I reapplied it a couple of days later. That was the
moment that made me fall in love
head over heels with this mask.
Cause it turns out I was wrong after all. I usually always hate a product before
I love it and this mask from Origins is
no exception. I removed the mask from my face and looked at glowy and smooth skin. I was basically in
shock about how good my skin looked and I have been applying it two times a
week for about a month now.
The mask itself is creamy and applies very smoothly. You don't need much
at all, which I like a lot. After I apply it, I let it sit on the
skin till it's dry. Sometimes that's a bit longer than usual (aka watching a
movie and not wanting to leave the TV to take off my grey face). I remove the
mask with lukewarm water and a cloth, then I dry it with a towel and I take a look
in the mirror to see the gorgeous glow
that has just appeared on my forehead. Lately there were some small bumps on my
forehead, but those have completely disappeared and my skin has never been so
soft and smooth. It leaves my skin so glowy and radiant and the pimple attacks
have been less regular too. It’s mend to clear out pores, so that must be
the reason why!
I'm normally not a mask type of girl, since I find they only give me more pimples - weird
I know - but this has really changed my view on them. As I said, I wear this
mask two times a week and I can't see myself without it anymore. I kind of
regret the fact that I didn't purchase it sooner. I know that it can be a lot
of money for a skincare product, but it's totally worth it for me. I will definitely
be buying this again and I can't wait to try more Origins goodies!
Have you tried this mask or any other Origins product before?
