Origins Calm To Your Senses Body Cleanser

Joanna Canton — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 06:03:58 +0000

First of all, I have to say that I love the name of this body cleanser…Calm To Your Senses. Perfect! The Origins Calm To Your Senses Lavender and Vanilla Body Cleanser is absolutely wonderful. It’s incredibly soothing. Lavender and Vanilla are two of my very favorite scents, maybe even my top two, and this particular combination of those scents is divine. Origins uses 100% natural essential oils in their products, no artificial fragrances. The scents of lavender and vanilla are both known for their calming and relaxing benefits. I definitely feel calm and relaxed when I use this body cleanser. Calm To Your Senses Body Cleanser is non-drying and has a very creamy lather. I love it! Origins is one of my favorite skincare lines. Their products are fabulous. Right now, my shower is currently home to the Calm To Your Senses Body Cleanser and the previously reviewed Origins Jump Start Stimulating Body Scrub. I’m still loving the Jump Start Body Scrub. It’s wonderful. I highly recommend both of these products. Enjoy!

Product info: Formulated without the following: parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA, synthetic color, synthetic fragrance, and animal ingredients.

Origins Jump Start Stimulating Body Scrub

Joanna Canton — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:20:32 +0000

Oh, baby…I needed that extra Origins boost this week. Having felt rather sluggish and even (as I hide my face in shame) a bit lazy this week…a stimulating body scrub was right up my alley. I love the smell of this scrub. Cinnamon, geranium, lavender and ylang ylang…dangerously delicious smelling combo. In fact, I think I might make a shower party out of this one at some point. You know…invite my sweetheart in with me for shower time (yes, I went there) and share this sensational lather. By the way, if you’ve never given anyone a good sudsy scrub down, get on that. Super fun! Getting clean and smooth together can be very sexy. I digress…hmmmm, where was I? Oh, right! Origins! So far, the Jump Start Body Scrub has been a solo adventure and quite satisfying. Yes, I’m talking about a body cleanser. I can get that passionate about a body cleanser. Well…it’s also an exfoliant, so that makes it even easier to get excited about. It’s got a great lather and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and smelling fabulous. Origins delivers a great product, once again. Get smooth, baby!

Origins The Way of the Bath: Matcha Tea Body Soak

Joanna Canton — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:57:25 +0000

There’s nothing better than a great bath! Dr. Andrew Weil has created this relaxing bath soak and I love it. It has a very healthy and calming scent. Very relaxing! The product name, on it’s own, even sounds like you’re in for a special treat. The Way of the Bath! Ahhh…I just love the sound of that. It creates a velvety foam and feels great on my skin. This body soak is packed with natural antioxidants and essential oils. Lavender, sweet orange, clary sage and lemongrass. Soaking in your tub is an essential activity and getting the right bath soak is just as essential. Anything that helps me to relax and makes my bathroom smell like a spa, I recommend. Sink into you tub, relax and let these Japanese Sea Salts do their magic.

Product info: Avoid contact with freshly shaven skin.

Origins Youthtopia

This serum definitely makes my skin look smoother, and don’t we all need a little bit of that? I noticed that my skin was looking better after a few days of using this product and I got even better results within the next two weeks. It gives my skin a very healthy and hydrated look. I use it twice a day and I absolutely LOVE the way this product makes my skin feel. It’s a very cool and refreshing feeling. Ahhh! You can actually feel it working wonders on your skin. I also use it on my neck and the top of my chest and see good results in those areas as well. It’s extremely light-weight and a little goes a long way, which is always a huge bonus. It has a very healthy smell, with ingredients like sweet orange, patchouli and geranium essential oils. Unfortunately I have to stop using this one for a bit, while I move on to review other products, but I will be returning to Youthtopia in the future. Highly recommend. Let me know how it works out for you. Happy skincare!

Product info: Age-correcting serum with Rhodiola. Good for all skin types.

Origins Eye Doctor

Joanna Canton — Wed, 20 May 2009 23:00:54 +0000

This jar of eye cream lasted me a long time. It was recommended to me by a make-up artist that I worked with. I love it’s fresh cucumber smell. It’s a great moisturizer for the eye area. It gives a cool feeling that’s refreshing. You are never too young to start caring for the skin around your eyes. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, my friends. I think when Ben Franklin said that, he was really talking about good skin care products. Origins uses organic ingredients and 100% natural essential oils. Eye Doctor is a great, non-greasy, moisturizer that your eyes will thank you for.

Product info: Contains cucumber, rosemary, ginseng and green tea extract. Helps to counter crow’s feet and fade dark shadows.
