“Mom, how old are you?”
“Thirty” I say.
“WOW!” she says, with the “o” drawn out.
So, is that “wow” a “wow, mom, you look so young” or “wow, mom, that’s so old“? I remember when I was young and my thirty year old aunts and uncles seemed so old. Even now at thirty I just don’t feel as old as I felt my aunts and uncles were at thirty.
Even if I don’t feel like I’m getting older, I need to remember that my skin is getting older and, if I want to keep looking as young as I feel, then I need to be proactive with my skincare! A product that I recently had the opportunity to try and am falling in love with is the NEW Starting Overâ„¢ Age-erasing moisturizer from Origins.
Origins is a skincare company who believes in creating high-performance natural skincare through the combination of potent plants, organic ingredients and 100% natural essential oils. They create everything from scrubs and moisturizers to makeup and fragrances. And they even have a line dedicated to men!
Origins not only believes in taking care of your skin but also taking care of the planet! The Return to Origins Recycling Program, the first of it’s kind in the cosmetic industry, allows you to return your empty cosmetic tubes, bottles and jars (regardless of brand) to Origins to be recycled or used for energy recovery! Regardless of the brand!!! And, to thank you for joining in their efforts to keep cosmetic packaging out of landfills, Origins will treat you to a free sample of Origins high-performance skincare products!!!
Their commitment alone to the environment makes me really respect their company, but I actually really like the products, too! The Starting Overâ„¢ Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa is a great light-weight moisturizer that has left my combination skin feeling great! The tough thing with combination skin is that I need a moisturizer that really moisturizes my dry areas but doesn’t over moisturize my oily areas. I know, I’m so complicated. But Origins Starting Overâ„¢ does that! And I love it!!
Now, as a quick note, while they say that 94% of those using Starting Overâ„¢ Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa saw a significant reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, I cannot attest to that. I’ve only been using the moisturizer for a few weeks but I do feel like my skin feels refreshed and am going to continue to use it. Who knows, maybe I’ll be back telling you that my daughter no longer thinks I look old!
The best way to really get an appreciation of the Origins skin care products is to experience them yourself and we want to give our readers a chance to do just that! We are giving away FOUR samples of Origins Starting Overâ„¢ just in time to get your skin summer-ready!

I did receive a sample of Starting Overâ„¢ Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa in order to do this review and Origins is providing the samples for the winners. Receiving products for reviews does not affect my opinions stated in this post.
Since I am grandma but NOT that old, I still want to look good for grandpa. Yes there are wrinkles but so what. they are smile lines. Just a touch of foundation – not too bad.
My biggest skincare issue is that I have fine lines that are starting to appear.
i’m getting laugh lines, boohoo.

I need a good moisturizer with spf in it for all year round. I am allergic to castor oil, which is many body and face lotions, so I have a hard time finding a good one, thanks!
I love Origins products and have been wanting to try this one for my combo skin.

My biggest skincare issue is dryness.
Wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles!!
Where did they come from?
Why do they stay?
How do I get them to go away??
Living in Vegas, I’m most concerned about sun damage and dehydration.
My biggest issue is something new for me, chapped-flaky lips. Not sure how it happened, since I always have something on my lips. Looks horrible!
I’m worried that this dry Colorado air, plus the extra sun I get living here, a mile closer to it, is sucking all the life and moisture out of my skin.
sounds great
My face is always so dry, this would be perfect for that. I’m always looking for organic moisturizers that actually work. Thanks!
I have redness in my cheeks (rosacea) and I have very dry, sensitive skin.
my biggest skin issue is age spots.
I like the sun too much. I live by the beach and it is hard to stay out of the sun. My age 54 does not help.

My age spots.
As I have aged, my skin has become a problem. Hard bumps and broken veins to name just a few of my problems. I would love to try Origins and see what it can do for my skin.
go away wrinlkes lol
I would love to even out my complexion. I spent way to much time in the sun in my teen years.
worried? all of the above since turning 40 – wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dry flaky skin, dull skin

My biggest problem right now is acne, surprisingly. After I had my daughter, I started to break out more, and I would love to be able to manage it. I’ve never had a problem with breakouts before –not even as a teenager– so it’s very surprising!
I’m most worried about blemishes and staying hydrated.

I already use an Origins moisturizer, but as my age starts to catch up with me, maybe I need to try something different. I have always been happy with Origins products in the past.
I just want to keep damage to a minimum going forward.

My biggest skin care issue right now is thanks to pregancy…dry and blotchy skin with dark circles under my eyes! HELP!!!
Just general aging. I’ve been good about sunscreen the last fifteen years or so, but as a yout’, I was all about the sun-worshipping.
Not really worried at the moment…but always looking for things to keep my skin healthy.
( I’d like to keep “not being worried” for some time to come ..LOL)
Have a Happy Easet!
I definitely need help with my skin I’m really old, I’m 41, lol. When I read your artical you made 30 sound so OLD, but I guess that was to promote this cream. It sounds fabulous n I’m into anything willing to help our planet. I am subscribed and all that other good stuff, so how do I get a free sample to try it out? :-). Tata, chat soon.

I recently came across this moisturizer and am planning to try it once I finish my current bottle. As I enter my mid-thirties, I am starting to worry about wrinkles and how the many years of sun are going to impact my skin later in life. Yikes!

My biggest concerns are sun and hormones. The sun makes my skin so dry and I burn very easily. The hormones mean the whole world can tell when I have my period because I break out the day before it starts and the acne lasts until about 2 days after it ends.
