Origins opens in SM Makati!

Way back in the 90s, yes the 1990s, I was already very much into skincare products. The brand I first got obsessed with was Origins. I would hoard from the US whenever I'd go visit my mom. I still remember the products I used to use -- Origins Checks and Balances Face Wash, Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask, Origins Never a Dull Moment Skin Polisher, and Origins Spot Remover Acne Treatment Gel. These 4 products were all my go-to's. I didn't really have a regimen back then, I just washed, exfoliated, and treated pimples as needed. I'm guilty of not using moisturizer during my younger days but thanks to the blessing of super oily skin, I was spared from all the lines and wrinkles that could've appeared prematurely. Whew!

Origins was available several years ago here in the Philippines but the brand mysteriously disappeared one day. I'm happy to say it's back and wow, there are a lot more products now compared to before! Check out the Origins' store inside SM Makati.

I was there for the ribbon-cutting.

Love the apothecary-ish vibe!

They have an entire shelf of samples inside glass jars. It's like being in a candy store! Read more »
