Out of Trouble® 10 minute mask to rescue problem skin
When skin is too-slick or when more pressing problems start to pop up, it’s Origins to the rescue to keep skin out of trouble. Nature’s trouble-shooters, including super-absorbent Zinc Oxide and Sulfur, calming Camphor plus skin-sloughing Salicylic Acid, rapidly respond to problem skin’s plight with a three-part plan - sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away irksome debris. Together they steer skin clear of slippery situations, refine rough texture and pull the plug on troublemakers to oust potential outbursts.

HOW TO USE: Layer over clean face and throat. Avoid eye area. Wait 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth.

Review: When i first bought this mask i was really excited. Because i wanted to find a mask for my pimples. Origins product are all organic. So its nice that the mask is Organic and natural too. However application wise, the mask is white colour and it sticks to the face. Removing them are quiet tough as it tends to stick to the face. The direction says to remove with wash cloth or alternatively remove with wet facial cotton. As I do not want to tug on my face or waste my facial cotton, i still prefer to remove with water. After that i must use toner to make sure that the whole mask is properly wash off. The nice thing about the mask though during application is that the mask has a tingling cooling sensation which is quiet nice. As its a organic product they did not put any perfume in it. It smell a bit like sulfur however i can accept the smell.

The result of the mask is that it make my pimples less "angry". My pimples went down a little and the redness has been reduce. It really does a good job since the purpose i bought the mask is to remove my pimples. I also notice that my skin become smoother and cleaner as the mask can remove dead cells and debris.

However on the down side is that its very drying on my skin (i have combination skin). Even when i put on the moisturizer i still feel its very drying. Actually the SA at Origins did try to persuade my to buy the their "Drink Up" mask. But since its the first time i try their product i do not dare to buy many product at the same time. Origins product are very pricey too.

Further i can see that my pores has been enlarge. As a result to the dryness i went out and bought a hydration mask from Skin Food for rm49.90. So far i have tried to use this both mask (OOT mask first follow up by hydration mask) and my skin are not so drying. But i notice my pores are still enlarge.

I find that the mask is really "strong" and that its not a mask that can be use often. As a result subsequently i only apply the mask on the pimple area.

I also notice that my cheek has some new milia seed these days. Its really frustrating looking at the melia seed since there is no solution to its removal! I cant really pin point that its this mask giving me milia seed as i am also using other products. So for safety purpose i only apply on the pimple area

Learn something new: The SA told me Origins product are organic. Organic is good and all but i am a little paranoid that the product that i bought will have a limited life span. When i ask her this question she advice that all Origins product has a manufacturing date. Mine is 06/2009. It takes half year for the product to ship from USA to Malaysia. Therefore my product are consider new. It has a life span for about 2 years if unopen. To see the lifespan once u open the product you can refer to the tiny symbol at the bottom. the symbol show- a round can which is open with numbers 24m. It means that the product once open can last for 24 mths.

THE CORN
Updates DAY 1: Just when my best frens wedding is around the corner, the thing i dreaded most happening to my face is a ultra huge pimple on my chin! I nickname it as The Corn. I notice it before i go to work. By the end of my shift it become an "adult". When i go back home i quickly applied this mask (on the pimple area only). This morn when i woke up, The Corn has been reduce by half! Its so amazing! I will try to apply on The Corn when i come back from work tonight again! Hopefully it will disappear by the next day as the wedding is this week end!!!

DAY 2: Applied the mask again yest nite on pimple area only. Today the corn has reduce to the size of a normal pimple! I also apply to my other pimple which is also quiet large and the size of them have been reduce. Some has really dried up. Will apply the mask again tonight. Texture of face feel smoother but with enlarge pores. Hope by tomorrow most of the pimple will be gone!!
