| tfeier's Full Review: Origins Have A Nice Day |
I hate my skin. I really hate it. And it hates me right back. We have titanic struggles over oil, zits, dry patches, allergic reactions and red spots. Not only is my evil skin combination, it's also sensitive. Double-whammy when looking for skincare products. Origins Have a Nice Day cream is helping a us reach a truce. Really. I cannot say enough good things about this cream. So on to the important issues.
Does it moisturize?
Answer - yes, and very well. My skin has this great trick, it can be simultaneously oily and so dry it flaking off. Impressive party trick, no? Have a Nice Day is strong enough to banish the dry flakes (I realize this sounds like a dandruff shampoo commercial - but it is the best way to describe it), and still light enough not weigh down the oily parts or clog pores.
How does it feel?
I admit, I was concerned about the cream. One thing my skin and do actually agree on is that heavy moisturizers suck. It felt heavy coming out of the jar, but went on surprisingly lightly. It was also absorbed quickly and didn't leave my face feeling goopy. Non-goopiness is key to any moisturizer I buy. People who are even more anti-goop than me may want to try the Have a Nice Day lotion instead of the cream.
Random Thoughts
It smells great. The citrus scent really perks me up in the morning. I was a little concerned when I first smelled it, anticipating my skin's normal reaction to smelly stuff, breakout! But no, nothing. I have not had an adverse reaction to any Origins skincare products, but this one has a heavier scent than some of the others I have used (like Eye Doctor).
Public Service Announcement
Have a Nice Day contains an SPF 15 Sunscreen. Try it! Use it! Love it! Everyday! Your skin will thank you in 20 years.
The Results
My skin and I have now reached detente, thanks to Have a Nice Day. It has stopped flaking so much and has a much smoother texture. We're still fighting over some other issues, but Origins Have a Nice Day is quite the peace-maker.
