Origins Never A Dull Moment

Every woman knows the importance of exfoliation - buff away the top "dead" layer of skin to reveal the youthful, glowing new skin beneath! But many exfoliators are just too harsh to be used regularly as they are just too gritty, giving you the impression that you are sandpapering your face! However, Origins have come up with the perfect regular exfoliator with Never a Dull Moment - a gorgeous smelling gel which contains Papain, a fruit based enzyme drawn from crushed papaya, which dissolves dead cells, and finely ground apricot and mango seeds which gently exfoliate. The product comes in a 125g pot - very simple packaging, a plastic pot with a white ...  Read the complete review

I had a bad experience from a free trial of Origins Modern Friction and the sales rep was no doubt very keen to make sure I didn't let that bad experience cloud my opinion of Origins for evermore, so she gave me some samples including a fortnight's supply of Never a Dull Moment. I have been delighted with most of them and I was almost delighted with this one too. *Product description* Never a Dull Moment is a gentle exfoliator which uses fruit enzymes to gently get rid of dead skin cells, as well as beads for gentle friction exfoliation. *Appearance* This is a thick, amber coloured gel with grains made of ground apricot and mango seeds. ...  Read the complete review

I am hopelessly addicted to exfoliating. There's very little I like more than a good scrub. I scrub daily, thanks to my exfoliating shower gloves, my exfoliating face wash, and my body and face scrubs. I'm a tiny bit concerned that one of these days I'm going to scrub too much and reach the bottom of my skin. It didn't take much convincing then for me to part with my cash for this - a recommendation on dooyoo, an advantage card points offer and a free gift when I got two Origins products was more than enough. This is very different to most face scrubs I've used - I kind of prefer Origins' own description of it as a face polisher. The first thing ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, first impressions count for everything....and the first thing that struck me about this product was that it smelt absolutely divine! I love apricots, and to me it just smelt really relaxing, and totally natural. When using beauty products I find that it's not just the overall result of the product that I consider, it's the whole package....the price, the packaging, the smell, the texture, and of course, the end result. I can't fault Origins using any of these criteria. THE EXFOLIATOR It is packaged in a simple but expensive looking plastic jar (although it does look so much like glass for a long time I ...  Read the complete review

Exfoliation is good, so they all tell us. And if we don't exfoliate then our pores will become clogged and then all hell will break loose (or so the woman at the Clinique counter tried to persuade me once). So, if you wish to gently encourage new skin to peer through on your face Never a Dull Moment is really a good bet. This isn't really a new invention. I've been buying exfoliating products with apricot kernel (or in this case papaya) since I was a teenager, but for some reason there's something different about this product. For one thing there is not quite so much grit. I always get the feeling when I use an exfoliator that I'm gently ...  Read the complete review
