Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash Review

In my quest to switch to Cruelty Free products, I walked into an Origins store, uneducated and totally oblivious to what they had to offer.  The sales rep wasn't trying to "sell" me, she was trying to figure out what exactly my concerns were and what I was trying to achieve with my skincare routine.  She recommended Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash since my face tends to be extremely dry in the winter time and oily in the summer.  I was assured that this cleanser would work year round for me.  I was a little hesitant, considering the price, but I thought "Why now, I can always return it if I don't like it".  That was almost 4 months ago and I'm seriously hooked!  My husband who used bar soap on his face, is now hooked and I had to buy him his own so he'd stop using all of mine!  This product does exactly what it says - cleans and doesn't dry out your skin!

Find your balance.Checks and BalancesTM Frothy face washWhen it comes to faces with dry and oily places, it takes a clever cleanser to balance the two. This gentle, frothy face wash carefully does both jobs without canceling each other out. Broad Leaf Kelp Extract discourages excess oil production, while Wheat Protein balances and protects dry prone zones. And Tourmaline actually makes water wetter to more easily disperse dirt and sebum down the drain. There's also aromatic Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender to add pleasure to the process. Skin feels comfortably refreshed after cleansing, never tight, pulled or parched.

HOW TO USE: Squeeze small amount into palm, add tepid water to lather. Swirl over skin, steering clear of eyes. Rinse thoroughly. Great for A.M. and P.M. cleansing.

Checks & BalancesTM is best for combination skin.
