Drink It UP! I am talking to your skin


Alot of you ladies have commented about dry skin something I seasonally suffer from as well. However the dry skin has started early and thus I started my mission looking for a moisturizing mask for my sometimes scaly skin. Eureka I found it! Drink Up Origin's 10 minute mask to quench skin's thirst. When Skin faces a butt-load of dehydrating circumstances, fluid levels can run dry. The steady sips of moisture that sustains it under normal conditions simply don't hold water. Supple smoothness vanishes, skin feels tight and flaky. What you need is a Great Big Gulp, and we are not talking about the Icee. Thirst quenching Algae Extracts deliver an extra helping of hydration while emollient-rich Apricot Kernel Oil acts like a "foundation of youth". Feel skin drink in the softness, lap up the luxury. 


This mask feels rich coming out the tube! As I smoothed on face it felt nourishing and non-oily. I let it sit for 10min probably a bit longer actually, I wanted extra moisturizing. While I was sitting it almost felt like I had a layer of lotion on. I felt no tingling but instead a velvety covering on my face. Oh and it smelled so good too, was not expecting that.  Its dries clear (a clear shinny covering on your face) so don't be alarmed. As I rinsed it off, my skin felt smooth and hydrated, I left skin damp and applied my moisturizer (always leave skin a bit damp then apply your moisturizer it works better ).

For your dry, flaky, parched looking skin I recommend Drink Up!

LOVES IT! Cannot wait to try the New Drink It up 24hr. Mask; and as always I will let you know if it's worth it.
