The modern, fast-paced city life has its fair share of benefits but as the city grows, so does the amount of pollution which is not good news for our skin especially. That’s why Origins partnered with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. Andrew Weil to create the Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Defense SPF 20 Barrier Boosting Eye Cream.
It was specifically designed with Origins Infrared Protection Complex and 100% mineral SPF to help protect the super sensitive eye area and make the best of a not-so-beautiful reality where internal and external pollutants, including infrared rays, are determined to give you a complexion crisis.
If you don’t know, infrared rays are invisible electromagnetic light radiation that penetrates the atmosphere and skin, just like UV. These long-length rays are made of 50% of all light and penetrate deeper into the skin than UV, causing protein damage, oxidative stress, and free radical generation, leading to accelerated aging. As you know, our skin shows the first signs of aging at the eye area.
In fact, did you know that 80% of outdoor pollution gets inside? That includes pollution, dust and smog. Plus, dust is known to linger in the air for months and may cause skin concerns including a weakened barrier, hyperpigmentation, sensitivity, redness and premature aging. This constant onslaught of environmental stress further negatively impacts skin by inducing cellular fatigue and depleting skin’s ability to function properly.
To help create the perfect pollution protection for your eyes, Origins harnessed the powerful benefits of its signature Mega-Defense ingredient, Opuntia Cactus. Plus two new ingredients to help build skin’s barrier and defend against damage caused by aggressive interior and exterior pollutants. With the power of these ingredients combined, Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Defense SPF 20 Barrier Boosting Eye Cream is proven to increase skin’s barrier to boost resiliency, improve moisture and soothe your delicate eye area after just four weeks.
• Opuntia Cactus is native to Brazil and has adapted to hostile desert climates, by creating moisture reserves to maintain its vitality. The juicy, succulent plant triggers moisture, to help create a physical barrier to protect skin from microscopic particles including smog and dust.
• Loquat is a legendary fruit prominent in Chinese folklore. It helps strengthen cells’ ability to survive when exposed to pollution and environmental aggressors.
• Solanum Tuberosum, aka the potato, it is the perfect example of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. It helps counteract cellular fatigue induced by indoor pollution, including out gassing from new building construction.
To use, gently apply to your eye area in the AM. The Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Defense SPF 20 Barrier Boosting Eye Cream (15ml) is available for RM200 at Origins Retail Stores and Department Store from 15 February onwards.
