I am a fan of the beach and the sun; a huge subscriber to the mantra of lying the sun all day and doing absolutely nothing. During my days of working on the perfect tan, I found I got more than I bargained for. I hit my daily quota of Vitamin D and I was rewarded with premature fine lines around my eyes, mouth and cheeks. I panicked, headed to the store and grabbed a set of these from Origins. They turned out to be a real skin saver.
With extracts of Hypsizygus Ulmarius and Chaga mushrooms that help send signals to the skin to optimize its defenses against environmental damage resulting in youthful, healthier, stronger skin. This patented formula is further enchanced by Menyanthus and Heather extracts to firm skin, Fucoidan from Okinawan seaweed to seal in moisture and Vitamin E and C to eradicate harmful free radicals.
The lines were gone in a week and I had brighter, clearer skin. The first thing that hits you is the smell, as the name suggests, it smells a bit like mushroom. It's by no mean punganat; more light and stew-y. At least I knew it was authentic, imagine if you bought this mushroom serum/cream and went home and discovered it smelled like lavender or cirtus. How cheated will you feel?
Use the lightweight serum after your daily toner and then the face cream as part of your skin regime. Get the Mega-mushroom face cream for US$60 (1.7oz/50ml) at Bloomingdale's and the serum is US$65 (1.7oz/50ml) and US$110 (3.4oz/100ml) also at Bloomingdale's. You can also head to the nearest Origins counter in your state or country.
