Origins Toner

I finally ran out of my beloved Liz Earle Instant Boost skin tonic, so off I trotted to find myself a new toner.

I still love the Liz Earle toner but I'm a sucker for trying new products. As you can tell from the title of this post, I opted for Origins.

It's the 'Make a Difference' skin rejuvenating treatment lotion... Suitable for most skin tones (Not ideal for those of you with very oily skin, unfortunately). Anyhow, here it is...



And here's what it claims to do!

"The Rose of Jericho and Cactus Extract along with skin-reviving Trehalose and Sea Haricots help the skin rebound from dramatic dehydration.
A unique, natural water-holding complex keeps skin happily hydrated from within and Oceanic Flora helps improve the appearance of damage done by UV and environmental exposure. It  helps improve the appearance of damage done by UV and environmental exposure" (Origins)

In all honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it; the smell is lovely and my skin feels smooth, however, its also irritated my eyes slightly and my skin feels very tight after use. Nothing a bit of moisturiser won't sort but for £16.00 I expected a lot more.

I'm going to give it a chance and continue to use it for a few weeks but I think I'll be back at my local Liz Earle counter sooner than I had hoped. Shame.
