What is your beauty routine? Do you cleanse daily? Do you moisturize after the shower? Do you take care of your skin to reduce wrinkles and age lines?
My routine is pretty basic. I cleanse and I moisturize. Sometimes I use sunscreen, most of the time I forget. I know terrible, right? But, after trying some new products by Olay, I won’t forget any longer because the sunscreen is built in to my tinted moisturizer! That might be my favorite thing about these new products, but I’ve got a lot of good things to say about the new Olay Fresh Effects… just watch (and read on)!
Everyone needs to find a cleanser that works well for their skin. Plus it is good to rotate them every so often. If you are looking for a new cleanser, let me introduce Shine, Shine Go Away!
As far as a daily cleanser goes, this should be your go-to. It isn’t fancy or uptight, it just gets the job done. It is great for daily cleansing needs – it removes dirt, makeup and oil. Oh, and don’t forget to use it with the cleansing brush for an even better clean!
Did I just say cleansing brush? Yup, the Va-Va-Vivid! Okay, this is quite funny but, I didn’t know how to pronounce it on my video (I really smacked myself afterward realizing that it was just VIVID… I really wanted to pronounce it like it was a Spanish word, lol). So you can watch and laugh… go ahead!
Anyway, this powered cleaning brush is va-va-vivid-excellent! Requiring just one AAA battery, you can replace as needed. The brush is designed to fit the curvature of your face and vibrates to gently massage your skin to give it a healthy glow. It is basic, small and easy to travel with. It works well with the cleanser to give my face a deep clean!
If I want to take cleaning even a step further, I use the Bead Me Up! Exfoliating Cleanser. While I don’t use it daily, I do use it 1-2x a week for some extra deep cleaning! It has microbeads (little rough beads) that have deep down cleaning and exfoliating power! Just wet your face, lather on hands, lightly rub in and rinse off for immediate silky soft skin! Seriously!
Okay, some days I am lazy and I just S’Wipe Out! Thank goodness for wipes like these. They are so handy for my on-the-go (and sometimes just-too-lazy) lifestyle. They are great for a quick wipe and clean, touch ups and more. They fit nicely in my purse and don’t dry out my skin (they are packed with Vitamin E!) These pre-moistened cloths work wondrously in a pinch – that’s why I always have them with me!
So now my face is all clean and clear of dirt, makeup and oil… now what? Long Live Moisture! After all, I live in Colorado and I must use moisturizer everyday. I need something powerful and rich for my dry weathered skin! My skin would be miserable without moisturizing lotion. I really like this light moisturizer because it is hydrating yet smooth and not heavy on my skin. It is great before bed… until the BB Cream that I use during the day!
Ok, all the hype of BB Cream! that I have been hearing about lately… I finally now get it. This stuff is genius! All-in-one sunscreen and tinted moisturizer! It saves a step or two (fountain and sunscreen). It keeps your skin safe from the sun and gives you an even lightly tinted skin tone! I love products that combine two things into one – hello, timesaver!
My last Words
That is a lot of cool new products from Olay, right? There is a lot of variety and maybe one or more of these new products would fit your needs. I have tested all of them, and use them now in my daily routine. I am pretty head over heels for the cleansing brush (Va-Va-Vivid) and the tinted moisturizer and sunscreen all-in-one (BB Cream). It is a nice change in my skin regiment. My skin feels refreshed when I rotate new products and try new things. After using these for 2 weeks, my skin feels beautifully fresh, soft and so importantly – clean!
