My beauty essentials: Origins brand products

A short presentation of my discovery of the year in terms of skin products.

Now my favorite brand, I swear by these products in my morning and evening beauty routine.

Origins is an American brand created in the 80s by Estée Lauder's son.

Having become a must-have in beauty care in recent years, they use the power of plants to develop high-quality treatments.

She is concerned about protecting the environment: use of renewable resources with her plants, eco-responsible methods, ecological manufacturing methods. She also donates part of her profits to the Program Plant a Tree, thus contributing to reforestation.

In short, you will have understood, nature is an integral part of this brand.
