Origins: Anti-Aging Power Serum

Anti-aging is an eternal quest but if you find the right products that can halt the dreaded trauma in your life, it is a true miracle. I started preventing aging before I actually started aging. I am that obsessed. But once I turned 40, you can only imagine how that ramped up to a fever pitch. I went so far that I had a bout of cosmetic procedure mishap earlier this year. I even wrote about it for The American Society For Aesthetic Plastic Surgery blog. Too much Botox. It was bad, really bad and comical in a non-at-all-funny way.

So now I prevent aging from the inside out. First and foremost, get plenty of sleep. Then you need something powerful, something that will target the cause of wrinkles. I have been using the Origins Anti-aging Power Serum for 2 weeks now and the results are clearly noticeable. I have always loved Origins, I always look to nature for remedies so their philosophy is in tune with mine. The Power Serum uses 20 different plant extracts from all over the world. They have found a formula that maximizes the effects of these powerful ingredients and made the ultimate serum. This serum supports your skin’s natural ability to heal and rebuild, and it nourishes the upper layers so you regain the same healthy tension younger skin enjoys. After 2 weeks I have noticed a bounce and plumpness especially around trouble areas like the forehead and around the mouth. I wouldn’t say it feels tight but everything got cinched a little, making the skin taut to the touch.

And let’s talk about the glow. I had a family dinner last night, and I am the first to admit, my family is crazy and judgmental but that’s what I love about them. I haven’t seen some of my cousins in a year so they will be commenting on everything. I had to make sure I looked as good as can be. Getting ready is always a crazy process for me because I have to get my kids together, too. So after I put my makeup on in a rush, as always, I realized I forgot to apply my magic shimmer powder, but I looked in the mirror and I thought I must have applied it and forgot because my skin was already glowing. I no longer need my special powder!! And we all know, there is nothing better than a natural glow.

I also have been using the Anti-Aging Treatment Lotion which is a toner. I use it day and night, it is the one step that you must never skip. Estheticians say it all the time but it seems not everyone heeds the advice. You are preparing the skin for other treatments to follow. It increases their effectiveness but not only that, toning your skin reduces pore size and improves skin texture. This milky toner works wonders and smells so incredibly good! With the humid weather I’m suffering from, I sometimes use as a much needed mid-day refresher.

Origins Anti-Aging Power Serum is $76 for the larger 1.7 fl oz size. You only need 2 small pumps for full coverage but I recommend getting the larger one because you will be addicted. The Anti-Aging Treatment Lotion is $30.
