why i’d decided to go back to origins was because i wanted to give it another chance. it’s important to know they’d moved forward and improved the packages of their current skincare range. i’m happy now that they have changed the package to a nice tube now.Īnyway, enough of the old origins packaging. the exfoliator never a dull moment came in this horrid tub which made exfoliating so unhygienic because water spilled into the tub each time i exfoliated in the shower. i’m so glad they’d taken those packages away because i loathed it (and i’m sure alot of others too, to allow a change). i threw the moisturiser away because i couldn’t stand the smell of it and it came in this user-unfriendly ceramic bottle (which i have to hit the base on each time to get the moisturiser out). i hated the origins scent, being fruity is one thing but being more than overpowering is another. what has caused me to stop using them for 5 years? the scent. i’d tried the full origins range back then – cleanser, toner, moisturiser and the famous never a dull moment exfoliator. ![]() i first tried origins when i was about 21 (more than a good 5 years ago) and i hadn’t gone back till last year. my relationship with origins hadn’t been a great one. It uses synthetic and micro-crystalline wax beads, which actually decompose and leave your skin looking and feeling softer while keeping the earth free of harmful microbeads.My current cleanser is origin’s never a dull moment facial cleanser. Finally, if you suffer from acne, try Bioré’s Acne Clearing Scrub. It sloughs off dead skin with freshly roasted and ground robusta coffee (which will also help perk up the skin), draws out impurities with white clay, and soothes and nourishes skin with rosehip, coconut, almond, and grapeseed oils. The brand might be known for their coffee body scrub, but their Creamy Face Scrub will work wonders on your skin. However, be sure stay away from this one if you’re allergic to strawberries, otherwise you are just asking for trouble.Īnother soon-to-be-cult favorite comes from Frank Body. We also recommend Mario Badescu’s Strawberry Face Scrub, which uses strawberry seeds and extract to help brighten and refine skin. It also has micro-crystals which dissolve on your skin to help get rid of surface cells and leave your skin looking radiant. The formula is infused with the brand’s proprietary alguronic acid as well glycolic acid and pumpkin and pomegranate fruit enzymes. Algenist’s Triple-Action Micropolish & Peel works somewhat in the same way. It uses finely ground apricot and mango seeds to physically smooth your skin while papaya enzymes work to slough off the dead skin you can’t actually see. Origins’ Never a Dull Moment Skin-Brightening Face Polish brightens up skin with both physical and acidic exfoliation. L to R: Origins Never a Dull Moment Skin-Brightening Face Polisher, $29.00, available at Mario Badescu Strawberry Face Scrub, $15.00, available at Ulta Frank Body Creamy Face Scrub, $19.95, available at Algenist Triple-Action Micropolish & Peel, $58.00, available at Sephora Bioré Acne Clearing Scrub, $5.99, available at Target.įruit seeds and enzymes are the most obvious answer when it comes to alternatives. If you need some help deciding which scrub to use instead, I’ve got you covered with my list below.-KS ![]() Instead, you should opt for products that use natural derivatives to scrub your face, like salt, sugar, and plant products. However, that doesn’t go into effect until mid-2017, but you can still help make it happen sooner by refusing to buy products with the beads. ![]() ![]() On top of that, Obama signed a bill last December banning the microbead across the nation for good. Thankfully, there are 5 states that have already banned microbeads: California, New Jersey, Maine, Colorado, and Illinois. That’s far too big a price to pay for clear skin. They’re far too small to be filtered out of sewage treatments, so they’re often found disrupting our wildlife eco-systems. They are tiny, plastic particles most often found in exfoliating products, and while they make help de-clog your pores, they definitely clog up our oceans.Īs you wash them off your face, they swirl down your drain, where they end up in our water. If you aren’t familiar with the little terrors, they’re exactly what they sound like: a micro-sized bead. It’s no secret that microbeads are the worst.
