Moisturize Your Skin this Winter with Olay

Beauty expert, Rebekah George, recently talked about Olay products in her winter beauty survival tips to stay hydrated this winter. I was recently sent the Total Effects bodywash and Quench body lotion to try out and with my sensitive skin, I found these to be quite helpful. Check out the video below for more tips!

To see my complete review,

	The Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Regenerating Serum (whew, long name!) is a serum I have been using nightly. Its formula contains a highly concentrated form of Olay's amino- peptide + B3 complex & moiusturizer to help improve the skin's appearance. I don't have any visible wrinkles (yet, anyway) so I tested this product on its effectiveness of skin smoothness. Overtime, it's supposed to firm my skin and make it look younger. :) I've tried this for 2 weeks already and so far my skin has definitely felt smoother. It's even helped my laugh lines (near my mouth) a bit so I'm liking this. It's made for those with normal, dry and combo (me!) skin so most people can use this. If you're already worried about wrinkles and skincare, it's best to take care of your skin today!
	This Olay Body Quench Body Lotion was recently called the Olay Quench Active Hydration Body Lotion. It's the same product but they revamped the look so you may not recognize it. I haven't tried the earlier formula, but after reading other people's reviews, it seems as though the formula changed. Based on using this new product, the Quench Daily Lotion has been a product I use to moisturize my legs. It's the easiest thing I can do at night right before I go to sleep. My skin on my legs are always dry and flaky in the winter so I definitely need something to last my the entire night.
For me, this product is okay. Like most lotions, they keep my skin moist but I need a product that absorbs quickly so I can go (either to bed without feeling greasy, or out) and do what I need to do. It takes a bit of time to absorb which is ok if I had more time. But I do like that my skin hasn't been feeling as itchy after using for 2 weeks. I've noticed I've been using less which is good b/c I hate having dry skin!
	I am obsessed with bodywashes! I love trying new ones that clean and moisturize my skin. When I heard about Olay's Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti Aging Body Wash I was intrigued. What exactly is 7-in-1, right? It's another anti-aging product, which I believe is never too early esp. in your 20's to start taking care or your skin. According to Olay, this product is to fight the 7 types of aging by: Improving elasticity, Relieving dryness, Deeply moisturizing, Brightening dull skin, Evening skin tone, Smoothing rough skin, and Minimizes the appearance of fine lines. It's the winter and I really need something that will relieve dryness and moisturize my skin. The ingredients are meant to combat the above and so far I'm liking it. It doesn't have microbeads so it's not an exfoliatior or anything, but I use this for my elbows/heels and it works nicely.

beauty in a budget: Olay Total Effects Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control

keeping blemishes at bay as i get older isn't always easy since many different things can trigger a blemish to appear. i also have to keep in mind that my skin isn't the same as it was even a year ago, so i have to look for products that cater to that reality as well.

ugh...

Olay, thankfully, makes keeping my skin looking radiant and clear a bit easier with their fabulous Total Effects Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control cleanser. i discovered and bought my first tube a few months ago and can't get enough.

this cleanser contains micro-beads, providing skin with gentle exfoliation (perfect to use daily) and salicylic acid to treat (and prevent) acne. i love that it's cream-based (typical foaming formulas can over-dry even the oiliest skin), and the anti-aging benefits-- exfoliation, enhanced tone, added moisture, pore and skin texture refinement, and minimization of fine lines-- are the added bonus in my beauty book.

if you're looking for an anti-aging cleanser that will also keep you skin clear, i recommend you try this one! find it at your local drug and mass retailers. visit olay.com for more info.

a first for the the brand, Olay skincare announced that they have chosen Carrie Underwood to be their celebrity brand ambassador. Carrie said at the press event, "i am very excited about this partnership." she added that she's been using "some product from Olay" for at least the past 10 years.

"Olay is something that women trust," said Carrie. "and i feel like people also have a connection with me and trust me because i can't lie." in regards to beauty care, she said, "it doesn't have to be complicated...you don't have to have 50 things in your medicine cabinet."

in addition to Carrie's appearance in print and television ads for Olay's "Challenge What's Possible" campaign (scheduled to debut later this year), Olay will also sponsor her Play On tour through the fall.

Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer

Covergirl and Olay have outdone themselves by creating a fabulous product, the new Simply Ageless Serum Primer. it's an anti-aging serum. it's a primer. it's a brilliant light moisturizer that i simply can't get enough of.

i was first introduced to this beauty by Molly R. Stern at the CoverGirl Lounge event in los angeles back in may. she used it to prep Rashida Jones' skin for the gorgeous look she ultimately created. Molly herself, a makeup maven, admitted that she wasn't too thrilled with the idea of a primer-- she never used them before (good moisturization of the skin works just as well as a primer in most cases, fyi)-- but after using it, and seeing the results it gave, she became a fan.

i, on the other hand, was beyond thrilled to know that CG was stepping it up and adding this to their Simply Ageless line! i couldn't wait to try it myself.

i've been using it for a couple of months now, and i adore it!

it's made with Olay Regenerist ingredients, of course, so my skin doesn't just get prepped for foundation, but is also given an anti-aging treatment every time i use it (multi-tasker alert!). i love its delicate consistency and the way it quickly smooths over my skin without a hint of oil. it doesn't leave my skin matte, but rather looking fresh, pretty and lightly moisturized. i don't have any serious wrinkles, so i don't know how it would be in treating them, but i do know i like the way my skin has been looking since using this.

hope you'll give it a try! look for it soon in your local drugstore.
