Origins NEW Origins GinZing Ultra-Hydrating Energy-Boosting Cream

Summer – what we had of one – is pretty much over, and whilst September does tend to be a decent month sometimes, it’s never too early to think about winter skincare – and there are plenty new launches to help with that.

You are maybe thinking about changing back to your winter moisturiser, or experimenting with a new one. Maybe you’ve had a hectic summer, and late nights, early meetings and heavy weekends have taken their toll on your complexion. Skin can get a bit dry, lacklustre and tired when not treated well.

Origins GinZing range is not specifically anti-ageing, or for those of us with more mature skin, but it’s for the Millennials amongst us who need a wee bit more from their moisturiser in terms of TLC.

Dame Helen Mirren might not be a moisturiser believer, as has been well-documented, but I love it. Using the correct moisturiser cured my permanently dry skin, and continued use keeps it hydrated – I never wake up with that ‘tight’ feeling in my face anymore.

So, the new Origins GinZing Ultra-Hydrating Energy-Boosting Cream has been created to serve as your skin’s shot (or three) of espresso. It’s rich, perfect for dry skins, or for any skin in harsh winter weather. It’s fortified all sorts of great beauty ingredients:

• Coffee Seed Oil is extracted from energising Coffee Beans. The seeds are cold-pressed to produce a concentrated oil rich in antioxidants that helps replenish and hold moisture to deeply hydrate skin.
• Caffeine (from coffee beans) is a natural anti-irritant and stimulant that helps skin appear refreshed. It was discovered in Ethiopia and has been cultivated in Yemen since the 6th century.
• Panax Ginseng is highly revered as a vital ingredient that’s known to help the body fight fatigue, strengthen immunity and enhance memory. Ginseng helps to boost skin’s energy so skin remains resilient.
• Cupuaçu Butter comes from cold-pressing the seed of a tropical tree native to the Amazon rainforest. It is a so and nourishing emollient that easily absorbs water and helps to moisturise skin.
• An essential oil blend of Lemon, Grapefruit and Spearmint leaves skin feeling completely energised and refreshed.

This lovely cream gives your skin an instant lift – and it smells delicious. Use it morning and night, but if your skin is not as dry, then just use as a night cream.
