Origins Brighter by Nature Peel.



Being a lover of origins as you are all aware,
On a recent trip to purchase the ginger souffle body cream, these wonderful little pads caught my eye.
Claiming to peel away the dead layer of skin to reveal smooth, brighter new skin, how could i resist? I'm a sucker for anything which claims noticeable results.

At £29 for 40 pads, these may seem a little steep but i use 1-2 pads a week and at this rate they should last me for around 5/6 months, which would be equal to about £5 a month, which is the price of a Starbucks trip, so all in all, not that bad at all!

As i mentioned above you do get 40 pads which is absolutely loads!

Let's begin with the how-to.
Origins recommends using 2 pads, though they're so wet i find 1 is plenty.
You remove a pad from the tub and, on clean make up free skin, work the pad all over your face in circular motions, i generally press a little harder for extra exfoliation on my trouble areas.

They have a slightly medicinal scent but i quite like it as it seems more as if they'll actually work.

They don't feel harsh on your skin, more like using a strong toner but with better results.

They contain Goji berry, blueberry, cranberry, pomegranate, grape seed, fruit acids from coconuts and salicyclic acid.



It wouldnt be very fair if i included a photo with my skin all covered in make up, so heres one about an hour after use with not a scrap of make up, but apart from the absolute corker between my eyebrows my skin is relatively clear, and in my opinion it looks much less dull.
I used these pads then slathered on some e45 and my favourite origins youthtopia eye cream.

After use my skin feels a little 'stripped', they claim not to cause redness but i do find they leave me a little pinker than usual though it dies down quickly.

I've been using these for about 3-4 months now and i can tell you my honest opinion is very positive, and i see no downsides to this product, which may appear quite steep until you break it down.

If you get a chance this is definitely a product to try, and is now an essential part of my skincare routine and i feel my skin is currently the best its been in quite a long time!

I hope you're all well, if you have any similar products please tell me, i love these kind of 'peels' etc!
