Anyone who has to live and work with me knows that I am about as lively as Kristen Stewart before my first cup of joe in the morning.
But there are days where even kopi-o gao and industrial-strength concealer do nothing to shield me from remarks about how tired I look. Apparently all that talk about looking how you feel may hold some truth, because the state of your skin is a dead giveaway to how your body feels, which is why I thought it was interesting that Origins has come up with the GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer, which they liken to “a shot of espresso for tired skin”.
Made with ingredients that are known for their energising properties, the latest addition to the Origins GinZing range features Panax ginseng and caffeine from coffee beans to help eliminate visible signs of fatigue and boost skin’s radiance; as well as olive, wheat and barley to replenish moisture in your skin.
Its lightweight gel texture and oil-free formulation also means that the GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film on your face; ideal for use on oily and combination skin in our humid climate.
And just like how sometimes the smell of coffee is enough to perk me up, the uplifting fragrance of grapefruit, spearmint and lemon in this moisturiser claims to stimulate energy, dispel mental fatigue and increase concentration.
Simply apply a dollop of product after your serum in the mornings to rev your skin up for the day.
So the next time you regret staying up all night to watch an entire season of Game of Thrones, remember to give you skin it’s caffeine fix with Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer.
Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer, $50, is available at Origins counters at Isetan Scotts, Robinsons Raffles City, Robinsons Centrepoint, Metro Paragon, and Tangs VivoCity. For more information, visit www.origins.com.sg.
