Following on from yesterdays post about the dry mess that has become my hair since starting the gym, today I thought I'd talk about the dry mess that has become my face. Mmmm lovely.
I've always been blessed with relatively "normal" skin (thanks mother bear, you gave me good genes), and I never normally suffer with dry and dehydrated skin. But lemme tell ya, sweating your arse off at the gym on a regular basis has taken away all moisture from my face and I'm left with with skin dryer than the Sahara desert.
Queue the arrival of Origins Drink Up Intensive overnight mask.
I've been a lover of Origins skincare products for a while now after falling head over heels for their GinZing moisturiser and eye cream (see my post on the moisturiser here!), and I've heard absolutely incredible reviews about the overnight mask so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it would help me!
First of all let me talk about the smell - oh my days - it is a pleasure putting this on your skin, especially if you like yummy citrusy scents! A little goes a long way with this as well, and I can imagine this tube lasting me a good while to come before I need another...at £23, it ain't cheap, but it's worth it. I use this a couple of times a week instead of my night cream when my skin is feeling particularly helpless and upon waking up in the morning my skin feels brand new! It's filled with Japanese seaweed that repairs the skins barrier which then helps to prevent future dehydration and pesky signs of premature aging! It leaves my face feeling so incredibly soft and moisturised and even after a couple of visits to the gym afterwards, my problem skin ain't nowhere near as bad as before.
I'll definitely be recommending this from now on to anyone who will listen and I'm super excited to try more Origins products!

I treated myself to an Origins giftset a couple of months ago which contained 3 generous sample masks, my favourite of which has been this one, The Drink Up Intensive, although I really like the Out Of Trouble mask too :)
