Masking...  I cannot even begin to describe how important this is in my skin care regimen. I think it's a crucial part of skin care because it has a lot of benefits on the skin and how it really purifies the skin and clears the pores.

Today, people are getting more and more conscious about what they put in their body, and they make sure that they are getting only the purest and natural ingredients, and expect nothing less. And this is where Origins comes in.

Origins has been dedicated in bringing us ingredients that is all-natural, using the finest ingredients that nature has to offer. I myself have been using Origins during this pregnancy and my skin agrees with their products so much giving my skin the pregnancy glow that I deserve. LOL

Origins is known for their masks and other skin care, and now they're out with a new mask! RitualiTea™is Origins first-ever tea based collection, wholly inspired by tea rituals from around the world combined with the ingredient's rich wellbeing benefits.

And because they only use natural ingredients, and are pretty much chemical-free, I am so confident in using Origins during pregnancy, and long after I give birth!

Masking is very personal, and it's really what works best for you. I myself love masking, and have been masking for over 15 years. I have to mask at least once a week.

You have to choose the one mask that is right for your skin type and not what smells pleasant to you. I think some women don't like masking because they feel it over dries their skin. For me, it's probably because they are not choosing the right mask. It is also crucial to moisturize after masking.

When at the Origins' store, ask the beauty advisors which mask is best for your skin type, and you will get to experience the wonderful benefits of masking!
