Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins Cream Giveaway!

Sleep. Ahh, there is never enough of it, is there? I mean, really, who has the time to enjoy a full eight hours of sleep each night? I am lucky if I can get 6 hours of sleep, which is never uninterrupted. I do try to reap the most benefits from the few hours of sleep that I do get.

Sleep is wonderful for our mind, soul and body, as it gives us time to truly rest.  Did you know though, that when we are sleeping one thing that is very hard at work is our skin? Nighttime is when skin’s metabolic rate is highest and as a consequence, more free radicals are produced.  Skin’s temperature also rises at night, which means skin loses more moisture.  To take advantage of our skin’s nighttime workout, Origins introduced High Potency Night-A-Mins Mineral-enriched renewal cream ($39.50). 

This mineral and vitamin packed cream, formulated with a potent blend of skin-fortifying antioxidants, helps replenish skin at night, so it is better armed to fight free radicals during the day, creating a continuum of protection.  A time-released resurfacing ingredient helps dry, flaky layers of skin gently turn over while sleeping, revealing visibly radiant, smooth skin once awake.  Skin is instantly plumped with much needed hydration while dewy, barrier-building plant ingredients work overnight to help replenish moisture reserves by morning, so skin awakens looking rested, renewed and richly replenished.

I have only used Night-A-Mins for about a week now, but my skin is definitely reaping its rewards. I wake up looking more awake. Brighter. Fresher. My skin looks and feels alive. In this short time, I feel like I can rely on a lighter daytime moisturizer as well, because my skin still feels very hydrated from the get go. High Potency Night-A-Mins™ Mineral-enriched renewal cream is skin’s daily dose of vitamins, minerals and moisture.

Now onto the fun part. I have partnered with Origins to give away 10 full size jars of High-Potency Night-A-Mins to ten readers (enter via the form below).

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Collection.

If one of your skin concerns has anything to do with oil and you long for products to keep your skin shine free all day, look no further.  Kiehl's has a new line up of products in their new Ultra Facial Oil-Free Collection.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free is a collection of products that not only hydrate the skin - you know how important that it - but it actually seals in the needed moisture, preventing the over production of oil, for shine free, fresh skin, all day long.  The new breakthrough technology fuses the benefits of moisture-retaining ingredients and emulsifiers to release pure hydration into skin and then locks the moisture in.

The results are scientifically proven! These products promise 24-hours of shiner control and long-lasting moisturization.
