| newyorkmommy's Full Review: Origins Swept Away |
I started using Origins over 15 years ago with the Mint Wash. After loving the results, I started using other Origins products. The Swept Away was next in my trials. I loved this also.
The back of the packaging reads:
"When dead, dry cells hang out on skin's surface, they create "breathing" problems for skin. It looks dull, muddy. Feels "blah". Nature's clarifiers give cast-away cells the nudge they need to get going and lift the shroud of skin. Included: Tiny jooba Beads cushioned in Oats to slough flakes away. Nettle to clear pores and Aloe to soothe. Won't rub even the most fragile skin the wrong way."
The ingredients listed are:
melilot (melilotus officinalis) and nettle (urtica dioica) infusions, methyl gluceth - 10, jojoba (buxus chinensis) wax, sorbitol, tea-carbomer, florida grapefruit (citrus paradisi) and peppermint pays (mentha piperita) essential oils (olea), aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) gel, bisabolol, apple (pyrus malus) and yarrow (achillea millefolium) extracts, oat (avena sativa) flour, tocopheryl (vitamin e) acetate, panthenol, peg-75, butylene glycol, disodium edta, phenoxyethanol, methyl, ethyl, prpoyly and butylparaben, chromium hydroxide green (ci77289)
This sparkly, green scrub is gentle compared to other scrubs and contains ingredients such as aloe and panthenol which are soothing. However, the exfoliating properties are strong enough to produce wonderful results! Swept Away is designed to be gently massaged over the skin after washing. Then, it can be washed away with water and fingers. This should be followed with cool water to "seal" pores and moisturizer to protect the skin.
The purpose of a scrub is to "unlock" pores and slough off dead skins cells to assist your skin with regrowth, ultimately causing more glowing and youthful appearance to the skin. This product does just that! I especially like that it is in a tube for easy dispensing and traveling.It is priced at $18.50 for a 3.4 oz tube.
I do not find any drawbacks to this product. As with any cosmetic products, overuse can cause negative results. Additionally, using too many products can cause the skin to become confused. Always introduce new skin care products one at a time to allow the skin to get used to it.
