I’ve been having a rough couple of days, health-wise.  With my sore throat, hacking cough and endlessly congested nose, I’ve been staying indoors as much as possible, curled up with my computer and favorite blanket.

Needless to say, I don’t have much of a makeup routine right now, but I do need to keep up with the basics of moisturizing.

Origins Starting Over™ Age-erasing moisturizer with Mimosa ($45 US) is really starting to turn me on to moisturizers with more of a gel-like consistency.  Lighter than creams, you would think Starting Over™ would be better in the warmer months, but it’s actually got enough oomph to power through the cold season.

The Mimosa Tree Bark Extract and Argan Leaf Extract in the moisturizer helps to boost the natural collagen level in your skin.  Over time, it will help to curb fine lines and improve skin texture.  For me, the result is healthier feeling skin since I’ve been using this a month ago.

I love that Origins Starting Over™ smells wonderfully fresh and citrusy and comes in both a regular and oil-free formula so that you can find the one that suits your skin the best.

Origins Starting Over™ will be available on counters and online beginning in January 2010.
