Origins Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash


Origins Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash is one of the best cleanser that i have bought.

I have sensitive and combination skin (oily T-zone and dry dehydrated patches everywhere else) which is not the easiest skin to buy face wash for. Some face wash makes my skin oily just a few hours after washing and some leaves my skin very dry and flaky.



Origins Checks and Balances™ face wash is a gentle face wash that’s perfect for my skin type. It thoroughly cleansers the face from dirt and control secretion of sebum while at the same time protects the dry area.

The face wash contains ingredients such as Broad Leaf Kelp Extract that discourages excess oil production, Wheat Protein that balances and protects dry prone zones and Tourmaline that makes water wetter to more easily disperse dirt and sebum down the drain.



It contains Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender smells fabulous. The spearmint gives it a minty and refreshing touch. I just love it!

It lathers really well. A little goes a long way. Just a small amount is enough to foam into a creamy lather so the tube could last a really, really long time.



I love the fact that it leaves the face squeaky clean without any residue feeling. The skin doesn’t feel tight after washing but instead the skin feels soft and moist.

It retails at RM88.00 for 150ml (i’m not really sure because i get mine from US when my sis comes back).

I’m Allergic To Everything

 
It seems i’ve developed another benign allergy. That’s not surprising as much as frustrating because as i get older, my stupid immune system seems to think it’s fun playing cruel jokes on me. But it’s getting ridiculous even by my weak standard ok.
 

1) Banana Boat sunblock ->> After deciding to jog again (partly for health reason, mostly to be drop-dead-slimmed-down gorgeous), i bought sunblock so i won’t have skin cancer from over-exposure to the sun. But i get these red spots all over the area after application. The only consolation is that it doesn’t itch. Who the hell get’s allergic to Banana Boat product for gods sake?!!! Oh, i forgot. Me.
 

2) Dust ->> I found out about this one when my former cheapskate employer decided to renovate the office but didn’t bother to relocate us. So we were rather unhappily sitting right in front of the renovation site, sneezing our nose off. Don’t get me wrong. We loved it because for the next couple of weeks we were happily celebrating by taking turn for MC. Then the celebration was over because i was the only one getting really sick and had rashes all over my body which didn’t heal for the next few months. Wtf.
 

3) EPI Products ->> Remember i told you about the moronic beautician who destroyed my face? Well she pushed me into purchasing almost RM1k worth of product which after as it turned out that i was allergic to. She of course vehemently denies it but i stopped using the products and my acne problem got better and my scars healed. My new beautician says i’m allergic to some kind of enzyme in that brand of products and i trust her. There, the stupid product brand is EPI. I’m glad i got that out of my system. My suggestion to new user of that brand, thread water carefully, test it at least for 3 months before purchasing.
 

4) Salicylic Acid ->> All of a sudden, i’m allergic to products containing Salicylic Acid meaning mostly ALL acne products. Which sux because i have acne and i need that ingredient to control the sebum on my face. But i can’t use it because my lips would start to chap and blister and burn if comes to contact with that particular ingredient no matter how minimal it is. So F*ck Salicylic Acid. I’m going to commission a professor to create an elixir for acne… yes, right after i hit jackpot.
 

5) Haze ->> It’s a sign that i must migrate from this evil land as soon as possible before i die a horrible death coz we know very well the haze won’t go away. Doc says that my nose and throat is a little inflamed but i suspect he is subtly telling me “Haze bad. Kill you. Painful death. Get out. Now!”… I think the haze is making me paranoid. Hey doc, i need more medication.
 

6) Origins Perfect World for Eye ->> Oh, this is a new one. I just bought the eye cream last week and after applying the cream around my eye area, my eyes puffed up and kept on getting watery like i was slicing onion or something. All the while i thought it was because of my insomnia and haze allergy but no, it was the eye cream. It’s so ridiculous because i never heard of anyone getting allergic to this particular product. Why does shit always happens to me. Oh goody what fun.
 

Somebody please kill me. Uhm… Preferably not with a knife coz you know… uhm… i might develop an allergy to stainless steel too. I don’t want to die with a face and body full of disgusting rashes. Please let me be beautiful when i die.

Maybe you can stab me with a chopstick, less risk there.
