I've officially crossed the 'late 20s' mark a few weeks ago which also means the red alert for wrinkles is now full on.
Anti-aging creams are no longer optional but mandatory in my beauty regimen. *shrieks*
However, I have to be really mindful with this one as my skin is not the most receptive to rich creams and serums. These products tend to suffocate the skin, causing congestion and zits.
I need something naturally formulated, that is free of mineral oil, glycol, parabens, etc. And the great news is - I think I may have found the best anti-aging candidate for my skin at the recent Origins Blogger Workshop.

Origins' new Plantscription range and Anogeissus tree back extract
Inspired by Hippocrates' 'Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food', Origins' new Plantscription range represents state-of- the-art anti-aging technology that promises to produce firmer and more resilient, youthful-looking complexion.
This new range contains Anogeissus tree bark extract that possesses the ability to protect collagen and boost skin's natural production levels of a glycoprotein called fibrillin. And the result? Younger looking skin of course! :D
Origins Plantscription Antti-aging serum
I've always been very impressed with Origins' natural and effective products as well as their eco-friendly manufacturing practices. So accepting this blogger workshop invitation was certainly a no-brainer.
Here are some of the highlights from the workshop.
That's the pretty Fang Wen, Marketing and PR Executive of Origins presenting the goodness of the Plantscription products.
The Origins beauty therapists demonstrating the optimal way of cleansing and applying the Origins products.
I volunteered myself for the demonstration too!
Besides giving me a relaxing mini facial, my Origins therapist also extended some beauty advice. She recommended warming the cream by massaging it with your hands before smoothing it on the face. This will allow better absorption of the cream.
Thanks for the tip! And here's my face before the treatment.
Here's after. :)
To be honest, I don't think there was a visible difference but mentally I felt more refreshed and energized. The fruity scent of the products perked me up instantly.
I was also invited to do a video review of my experience.
You can watch the video coverage of the workshop here.
Good news! You could also try the mini facial too! Simply request for it at any Origins counter.
The workshop was a resounding success. We were not only enlightened with beauty knowledge, we also got to bring home the new Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream.
Besides the anti-aging star ingredient, African Anogeissus Tree Bark that is present in all Plantscription products, the Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream contains another new ingredient from nature, Raspberry Plant Stem Cells. Inspired by the science of cellular plant cell regeneration, each jar of Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream contains 300,000 Raspberry Plant Stem Cells to revitalise aging skin and reduce wrinkles.
Among hundreds of ingredients put under study, only a handful made it to Origins high-performance formula. The Raspberry Plant Stem Cells used in the Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream were extracted from a specific strain found from a single garden in Dei Lombardi, near Avellino on the Apennine Mountains in Italy. This strain was found to contain the highest level of biologically active compound.
Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream is safe and effective for all skin types and is a perfect complement to Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum, which has been the No. 1 Top Seller of Origins.

What I thought about the Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Cream...
I smell nature everytime I open the lid of the tub. The fragrance is soft and alluring. And the best part is, the lightweight cream absorbs into the skin pretty quickly, leaving a smooth and silky finish.
Apply only a dollop of the anti-aging cream each time. Anything more and you may create a sticky finish.
I do not use the cream on my entire face but only on the problematic areas like the nasolabial folds and neck. Of course, my lines haven't vanished completely but I thought they looked softened and less visible. I've been using it for three weeks and I haven't noticed any major breakouts so I guess I'll continue to use it until the day I need botox. :P
The cream retails at SGD110 for 50ml which I thought is rather pricey. But for its naturally derived ingredients and rejuvenating properties, I guess it still deserves 4 Honeyz crowns.
