20min ORIGINS Age-Erase Mini Facial

Thanks to Vanity Trove, I got to try out a Mini Facial at the ORIGINS.

At first I had this dubious feeling about this free mini facial, thinking that it will be a very short session where they let u test out the products they are currently promoting and send you on your way. Until I got to the store, I realised its a serious "facial" session!

After giving me a seat, the friendly store assistant Laura Lu went on to asked me questions on my main skin care concerns. Finally, based on my current skin conditions, she whipped up this whopping list of items to be used for the facial.

From left to right:
1. Plantscription Anti-aging Cleanser
2. Modern Friction (Exfoliator)
3. United State Balancing Tonic
4. Plantscription Anti-aging serum
5. Make A Difference Rejuvenating Treatment
6. Plantscription Anti-aging eye treatment

Throughout the whole session, the sales assistant took patience to explain the special ingredients in each product which helps to improve your skin. The Plantscriptioin Anti-aging Cleanser felt very mild, and there was no tight feeling on the face after usage. Face was left smooth and velvety. 

After cleansing my face, the SA went on to put the Modern Friction, to give my face a gentle exfoliation. Made from rice, the exfoliator has granules which are large enough to give a proper exfoliation without making the skin feel any pain. After the exfoliator was washed off, my skin was nice and smooth! (* Considering to get this after my exfoliator runs out ;))

Next up was the United State Balancing Tonic, it smells of alcohol when applied, but no stinging of skin was felt. Its meant to balance out combination skin, so people with sensitive skin should stir clear of it.

After the toner was absorbed, the SA went on to apply the plantscription anti-aging eye treatment. It has a texture lighter than a cream, but slightly thicker than a gel. It went on very comfortably without feeling too oily, and the SA did a light eye massage, pressing on some acupuncture points, relaxing my eyes. One reminder from the SA, eye cream has to be applied before any face serums/moisturizer to ensure efficacy.

The Plantscription Anti-aging serum was then applied. It has a light texture, and according to the SA, the ingredient Anogeissus will help to reduce wrinkle length and depth, and with prolong usage, the skin will become firmer, smoother and more lifted.

After the serum has been fully absorbed, the SA top off and locked in moisture with a gel moisturizer, Make A Difference Rejuvenating Treatment. The moisturizer smells heavenly, citrusy and refreshing!

Despite being a mini-facial, the SA definitely spent more than 30 mins on my face. Although the mini-facial has come to an end, the SA went on to provide me with some samples which I can try out before purchase in future. Kudos to her wonderful service!

Here's some pictures on the samples I received after the session:

2 x Eye treatment, 2 x Out of trouble mask (for my huge zits that were growing :(, 1 x Cleanser, 1 x Moisturizer

Once again, thanks so much Origins! I definitely look forward to trying out products when my current skincare products run out :) Another piece of news from my SA, Origins seems to be having some roadshow at Vivocity from 30 Aug to 2nd Sep. Readers who are eager to try out their products can head down for a trial.

Hope you will like it as much as I do!
