Origins A Perfect World

The world is not perfect, nobody is perfect, neither do I.
When I think about it, the truth is that all my frustrations begin with this sentiment of not being impeccable or able to excel in everything.

My skin is the external reflection of who I am, a compilation of moments in life of happiness, fun, daydream, pleasure, but also stress, sadness and deception. When I was a teenager I exposed my skin during hours and hours directly to the sun, I drunk and smoked too much and above all, I wasn´t kind with myself. Today, I try to love and respect my body more and more.

The world that we live today is crazy, every year it is hotter and hotter. In the big cities, we  are exposed to a very polluted environment, so our health and externally our skin suffer.

Origins with its new line " A Perfect World" come to rescue with youth-protecting products infused with antioxidant-rich White Tea to fight against free radical damage and prevent premature signs of aging.

SPF 40 Age-Defense Moisturizer with White Tea

The secret to have a long term youthful skin is to apply SPF on a daily basis. I love this moisturizer because it has a high level of SPF that surrounds the skin in a protective bubble against UV rays. Its active ingredients, natural-barrier boosters, Edelweiss and White Birch help to strengthen skin's barrier to neutralized the damaging effects of pollution, infrared rays, ozone and other environmental aggressors. The consistency of the formula is very thick, so you have to apply tiny dots of the product and massage them gently until it absorbs. You need the tiniest amount, because this cream moisturizer is very rich. Maybe if you have oily skin you will find that this is too much for you and it's true that the firsts minutes after the application you feel oily, but trust me, it absorbs well during the day and I had any breakouts but only a radiant skin after a month using this every single morning.

Antioxidant Cleanser with White Tea

My favourite step in my skincare routine is to wash my face. It is more than cleaning your face, removing any rest of makeup or dirt it's like a therapy, a very relaxing moment where you are in contact with water and you take the day off your face.

This foamy cleanser that has a pearlescent colour is enriched with White Tea. This ingredient is packed with polyphenols a very potent antioxidant that helps protecting the skin from damaging free radicals. The tiny tea buds of White Tea were prized by Chinese Emperors. They thought that it was an elixir of longevity and it is true, because the silver tips are very rich in antioxidants. In a recent study made by Origins that simulated ground level of ozone pollution the formula of "A Perfect World" showed a 76% reduction in skin-aging environmental damage.
This cleanser also contains minerals to grab the dirt and Palm, Coconut and Oat Amino Acids to clean and detoxify the skin removing all the impurities that cause oxidation, deterioration and dehydration. Don't neglect this step, because a clean skin is very important to prevent premature aging.
I like this cleanser, because it leaves my skin with a great sensation of freshness and cleanliness.

Age Defense Treatment with White Tea

I was a bit skeptical about this product, when I first saw it, because even though I love beauty products I´m lazy AF and adding layers or many products to my skincare routine just annoys me. I don´t even remember the last time I used a toner, but I reckon that it is a very important step. I´m improving my habits and I´m more aware today of the difference that it makes to put on a serum before a moisturizer and a specific cream for the delicate eye area. I have improved a lot since I was 18 years old when I even went to sleep with my makeup on...How awful!

This oil and alcohol free treatment has become an essential for me, after using it during only two weeks I noticed that my complexion was smoother, more soft and supple. It is great to prep your skin for the products that you will apply after. Plus, it doesn´t dry or tight.

I´m more than satisfied with this new White Tea line by Origins: Using this three products in conjunction every single morning has cleared out my skin and improved its texture, looking more radiant and hydrated.

Saviour Products for Dry Hair

The relationship between my hair and me is complicated...Actually, I used to hate it. It is frizzy not beautifully curly, not dreamy straight either, very dry and very dense. You would think that dense is great, but when I was a teenager, more insecure, I didn´t like my massive frizzy volume that seems almost fake, like I´m wearing a wig. After taking a shower and without any styling I look like the character Hermione in the film Harry Potter and The Philosopher´s stone.

Now with a little help of my GHD Ceramic Iron and these life changing products, I get the result that I need to feel confident.

Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser´s Invisible Oil

This hair oil is the bomb!! It has a delicious scent of candy, but not very strong, only sweet, delicious and very addictive. It's like perfume for your hair whilst softens and protects your scalp. I've the driest hair that you can possibly imagine, it hardly ever becomes greasy and this extraordinary blend of oils allows me to tame and make shine my rebellious hair. I apply it on dry hair after straighten it and I can instantly feel that it's a very light oil that absorbs very well for a silky smooth finish. During several months I couldn't find it and I skipped this step on my routine, the aftermath, I've started to have more and more slipt-ends. My hair even started to break when I brushed it. So now, I've learned my lesson and I will take more care of it. This product is my little secret to make my hair grow strong and healthy.

L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Lipidium Shampoo and Masque

During several moths I wanted to save some money and I only bought Drugstore or Supermarket Shampoos and Conditioners. 
It seems that my hair has a fancy taste and didn´t like at all the silicon that the cheaper products that I picked contained. My hair had a strange texture and was very dry, but at the same time and surprisingly oily due to all the residues of their formulas.
Last summer, I discovered the Absolut Repair Lipidium Shampoo and Masque and I was astonished. When I do a blow dry or I straighten my hair the style remains impeccable during 5 days. Also, its amazing complex enriched with lipidium, phyto-keratin, ceramids and lactic acid restores shine, nourishes and makes it stronger smoothing all the dryness and split ends. When I apply the masque after the shampoo I leave it more than 5 minutes, sometimes even 3 hours if I´m staying at home. 
My hair has never been so healthy and beautiful, I´m an absolute fan of this line.
