Early in my 30's, time began to noticeably accelerate. Things were changing before - and around! - my eyes in a way I didn't quite recognize or appreciate.
I couldn't get away with not wearing makeup as easily as I once had. "Fresh-faced" no longer translated to 'rosy and glowing' in my bathroom mirror. Instead, I just looked a little tired. Something had to be done, ASAP.
I wanted my 'glow' back, yet wasn't interested in something that required medical release forms, would generate a sudden breakout or cause me to peel for days.
A few years prior, a savvy friend had converted me to Origins skincare products for daily cleansing and moisturizing. Origins had cleared my combination skin and kept it breakout-free and healthy. Liking their track record, I decided to start there in my search for restored glowy goodness.
Origins was launching a new product that caught my eye, called 'Modern Friction.' Their ads spoke directly to my needs, and so, off I went to the Origins store.
Described as, "nature's gentle dermabrasion," Modern Friction is thick, creamy, and scrub-like in its consistency. It lathers up like nothing I've ever seen - a little bit goes a long way. It's also very affordable - just $37.50 for 4.2 oz. tube.
The results were an immediate WOW - my skin felt amazing after the first try, and I was hooked.
Modern Friction doesn't leave you burned, scratched, parched or flaking - rather, your skin looks - and feels - NEW - soft and radiant. I liked it so much, I wrote a letter to Origins, thanking them for sending me - hopping and skipping - back to my 20's. They responded with a very nice phone call and a bucket of wonderful samples in the mail. Sweet!
And here's the big deal in my book - I'm now 39, and Modern Friction has continued to work brilliantly. I keep a tube in the shower, so I can use it when my pores are open and breathing in the steam. It smells like peppermint - a nice way to wake up!
Modern Fusion - billed as a "skin transforming catalyst" - is a light lotion you apply just before your moisturizer. Provides a little daily boost of the Modern magic, and is $39.50. The bottle features a neat built-in pump AND a 'safety switch' that keeps it from leaking/spilling when you travel. Love it!
If you love stats, the following is from the Origins website:
Origins tested Modern Friction™ on a panel of 54 women. After just one try, of those who had undergone clinical micro-dermabrasion, 94% said they would now consider using Modern Friction™ instead.
Wahoo! Perk up your skin without breaking the bank! At just $77 for both Modern products, you'll have cash-ola left over for a great pair of booties for fall. (More on that in the next SML post!)
I found the following deals online (and tested them, yes, just for you!):
- Use online coupon code FALL10 for free shipping on purchases over $30 and a free sample of Perfect World Moisturizer (code good through 10/21)
- Origins has long offered free shipping on all orders over $75. No coupon code needed. Bonus: choose a free sample from three popular products at online check-out.
Super Scoop!! This Friday, Saturday and Sunday (10/22 - 24):
Get a FREE mini-facial, make-up application and sample of facial cleanser!
Takes just about 30 minutes total. Note: You can walk-in, but the Origins representative I spoke with advises you call your local Origins store for an appt. For Origins store locations, click here.
