I bought these mushroom themed vintage props in the summer in the hopes that I could one day use them in a mushroom themed blog post. Well, it looks like my prayers were answered because Origins sent me the Dr Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Collection to try out. I always love trying Origins products because the quality is amazing and they use natural ingredients inspired by nature. Dr Weil’s collection is formulated with a signature blend of soothing Mushrooms to help calm sensitivity and irritation, boost resilience and reduce visible redness. These products will be helped to calm, soothe, and defend skin against visible signs of ageing.
REISHI MUSHROOM
Reishi has a 7000-year history of use. Referred to as the “Mushroom of Immortality”, it’s believed to have life-extending properties and is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to heal, improve health and promote longevity. It’s also known to possess potent skin-soothing properties and is used to help calm, comfort and relieve visible redness in sensitive skin.

I have always wanted to try a micellar cleansing water because I love the idea of just dabbing some on a cotton pad and just washing my face without water. I use mine at night to remove my makeup, and it works so well at removing lipstick and eye makeup. I usually end up using at least two cotton pads to clean my face one to remove the makeup and then a second sweep to clean the face. You would be surprised how well this cleanses your skin without it feeling dry or irritated.
What it is:
A no-rinse micellar cleansing water for clean, hydrated, comfortable skin.
What it is formulated to do:
This miraculous no-rinse, oil- and alcohol-free formula gently remove dirt, makeup, and pollutants. It’s fortified with Dr. Weil’s signature mega-mushroom blend to help boost resilience against environmental irritants along with antioxidant-rich berry ferment to help neutralize the damaging effects of pollution. Gentle enough even for sensitive skin, skin feels totally refreshed, silky-soft, and completely, comfortably clean—never irritated.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates
– Phthalates
What else you need to know:
Micellar waters contain tiny molecules called micelles, which grab onto and trap unwanted oil, pollution, and dirt, so they easily are lifted away without irritating skin. This product does not contain soap, oil, or alcohol. It is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, making it safe for contact lens wearers.
My skin has been so irritated lately, and I have a rash on my chin that has been super irritated. It was so bad that I went to get some cortisone cream from the doctor to help with the irritation. My skin was better after a few days, but I was terrified to use certain products because I didn’t want the rash to come back. When I read that the soothing treatment lotion was perfect for the dry and irritated skin I thought, I would give it a go. I thought it would be more of a thick lotion, but it is clear in colour and feels more like a toner. I like to apply it after I wash my face and before I apply my moisturiser. My skin felt so soft and calm after using it; I definitely think it helps dry, irritated skin.

I love this face cream because it is super thick and perfect for dry irritated skin. I find that gel-like face creams don’t have the same satisfying feeling as a thick face cream. I personally like heavy face cream in the winter especially because my skin is s dry and irritated from the cold air. If you suffer from dry skin in the winter you will love the rich moisturizing qualities of this face cream.

This is the perfect face mask for irritated skin because it is so soothing and perfect for someone who wants a soft and gentle face mask. It doesn’t go on super heavy like a clay mask or change colour as it drys. I do like the purging quality of a clay mask but this one is perfect a soothing mid week face treatment.
