Origins Spot Remover Pads

Origins Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Pads - £22

These Origins Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Pads are a part of the "Spot Remover" family along with the Super Spot Remover Gel. On one side of the included pads, there is a bumpy, therefore exfoliating, side and each pad contains Salicylic Acid, Clove and Oregano. These work together to help unclog pores and to help get rid of, prevent and fade blemishes.
At first when I first saw these, I didn't like the thought of spreading around the bacteria on your face with one small pad and didn't think they would help my skin. However, once I got into the routine of using them in the AM and PM like the pot instructs you to do, they have 100% worked! The redness of the scars on my face have diminished significantly, I barely get any random breakouts anymore and the spots that I do get (when used along with the Super Spot Remover Gel) go within a few days and the redness of them is much smaller now than it was before I started using these pads. However, I have quite sensitive skin around my eyes so when I use the exfoliating side near my eyes, I find that it stings a little bit so I have to use the opposite side of the pad if necessary. Also, in relation to other Origins products, the packaging of these is fairly big and bulky so it is quite hard to store although this is a minor detail compared to how well they work. Overall, I think I will be repurchasing these very soon as I'm coming to the last few pads in my pot, oh nooo!! 

Origins Out of Trouble Mask

Origins Out of Trouble Mask - £20

Origins Out of Trouble mask is designed for oily-combination skin and to keep the skin, basically, 'out of trouble'. It uses Zinc-Oxide and Sulfur which absorb the impurities and also uses Camphor which calms the skin. The mask uses these ingredients as part of a 3-part plan; to reduce oil on the skin, get rid of dead skin cells and to take away things like flaky skin. After this 3-part plan is complete your skin should be oil free, nice and soft and should be less prone to breakouts as the mask will be stopping these potential outbursts. 

I've been using this mask for around a month now, once a week and I have noticed a massive difference in the texture and look of my skin. Before using this mask, throughout the day my skin would become oily and you could see a definite shine on my face but since using this the amount of oil and shine you can see on my face has seriously decreased! It has also helped reduce the amount of breakouts I get around 'that time of the month' which is really the only time I get any sort of spots now due to some antibiotics I am on. Like all the other Origins products I use, I definitely feel that this works and is quite a bargain for how little you actually need to use (I use 2 pea size amounts usually but layer up over any problem areas) and how often too! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who suffers from oily skin and/or bumpy textured skin.
What's your favourtie Origins mask??
