Overnight Skin Repair

Well, I am 40 tomorrow. I can’t believe it!  I don’t think my skin looks too bad on it though – I guess years of trying beauty products for a living has benefits!

And I am never averse to trying another new one, that’s for sure. Origins, one of my favourite ever brands, are bringing out a new cream in August, and I’ve been having a wee trial of it of late. And like the Dove Overnight Treatment I blogged about earlier today, it works its magic when you are asleep!

High Potency Night-A-Mins Mineral-enriched renewal cream is packed with minerals and vitamins, and formulated with a potent blend of skin-fortifying antioxidants. It helps replenish your skin at night, and get it fighting fit for the day when it has to deal with all sorts of free radicals! I’ve not tested it long enough to tell you whether it really does make a massive difference, but it feels lovely, and it has to be doing something right when you run through the ingredients.

I can’t list it all here, I’d be blogging all through my birthday! But, as well as the usual Vitamin C, it contains things like Chestnut Sativa Extract, known to eliminate dead surface cells and ‘perk up’ and renew your skin. And the essential oil count is high – Neroli, Valerian, Orange and Vanilla.

It comes in two formats as well, normal and oil-free, so is perfect for all skin types.

Available from August, £32, from Origins counters  and www.origins.co.uk
