    Is your skin silently aging?
    Aging is not simply the passage of time marked by line and wrinkles. Irritation silently simmering with skin's surface may be invisibly aging your skin faster than the candles on your birthday cake. Origins collaborated with Dr. Andrew Weil to create these clinically proven formulas. They rapidly help calm, soothe, and defend skin against visible signs of aging. The result: visible aging slowed. Now that's a relief.

    Q: What is inflammation?
    A: Inflammation is the cornerstone of the body's healing response. It is a normal process - a lifesaving mechanism that defends against real dangers and restores health. Problems can arise, though, when the inflammatory response occurs in areas where it's not needed, when it escapes its boundaries, or when the process persists long after healing is over and done with. Chronic, low grade inflammation is thought to be an underlying cause of many medical conditions today and it's one of the hottest areas of medical research. From heat disease, cancer and diabetes to asthma, Alzheimer's and gum disease, many common disorders are linked by abnormal inflammation. And in the skin low level inflammation is associated with premature aging, the appearance of redness and over sensitivity.
    Q: What causes inflammation?
    A: Inflammation can be caused by exposure to irritants in the atmosphere, for instance second hand smoke or pollution. Some skin will react to spices in the diet, to extreme temperatures or even stress.
    Q: How do Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief products calm sensitivity, redness and Rosacea in skin?
    A: My "signature six" key ingredients of Hypsizygus ulmarius, Cordyceps and Reishi Mushrooms along with Ginger, Turmeric and Holy Basil are responsible for the anti-irritation benefits in the Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Collection. We've scientifically validated the fact that these powerful actives visibly calm and reduce redness in sensitive and reactive skin.
    Did you know?
    According to Dr. Weil, 50% of women in North America complain about skin redness. Redness and flushing are often symptoms of a chronic skin condition called Rosacea. It's very uncomfortable and can be really devastating for people. At Origins, we were delighted to find many women who struggle with this condition writing to tell us about the terrific results the Mega-Mushroom regimen had on their Rosacea.
    Mega-Bright or Mega-Mushroom?
    Q: How is Mega-Bright skincare different from Mega-Mushroom?
    A: Mega-Mushroom products were created for people whose main concerns were redness and sensitivity. And the key ingredients are mushrooms that quiet this kind of sensitivity. Dr. Weil’s new Mega-Bright products were created for people whose concerns were hyperpigmentation, unevenness of skin tone and dark spots. And whether your skin reacts one way or another to irritation is genetically determined. Different ethnicities have different densities of melanocytes in skin. The more melanocytes in skin, the more pigment cells and the reaction to irritation will be increased pigmentation and appearance of dark spots.
