A Reason for Rejoicing: Origins Launch New White Tea Cleanser

That auld white tay is a powerful yoke: far more potent than its green tea compatriot, it's ace in skincare because of its wonderful antioxidant properties. It sweeps the floor with free radicals, leaving skin safe from the scourge of environmental aggressors, and that's why I think Origins' new Deep Cleanser with White Tea is so good for use at night. After a hard day picking up UV rays, pollution from cars and air conditioning, stray cigarette smoke and all manner of other nasties, the board can be swept clean before sleep.

It's an addition to their existing A Perfect World range, of which I'm a firm fan of the White Tea Skin Guardian, an almost-edible serum that smells gorgeous. This, thankfully, smells the exact same, and leaves skin feeling nice and soft. I tend to use washes in-shower and not for makeup removal, so while I haven't tested it for that, it's a lovely product to use pre-moisturiser.
