Now that I’m 30, I feel like it’s important to get serious about my skin and take care of it the best I can so it ages gracefully. As a beauty junkie, I try out a lot of skincare and makeup every month. I have yet to try the well-recommended cbd for skincare, an ingredient that is used for a range of skin issues, including acne, eczema, and for anti-aging purposes. Sometimes trying so many different products makes me wonder what is actually working for my skin, and following extensive 10-step nightly routines just isn’t possible as a mom of two little ones. It is important to remember that not all skincare has to be applied to the face at night, though. This is something that I often forget. For anti-aging purposes, you could take the nad plus supplement alongside your regular diet. Also, drinking plenty of water is amazing for your skin too! My point is, don’t just obsess over creams and oils. There are other things you can try. It might be worth me trying dermatologist beverly hills after this challenge, my friend recommended it to me.
Enter the #Olay28Day Challenge, a super simple skincare routine I committed to on Instagram at the beginning of the month that consists of using Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream and Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream, day and night for 28 days straight. I’m proud to say I was able to stick to this skincare routine throughout the whole month amidst all the beautiful craziness that is #momlife and the holidays!
Upon first application, I started to feel like the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream was doing something for my skin. I felt like my face was more hydrated, felt softer and smoother, and looked healthy with a visible glow. The darkness under my eyes improved right away after I applied the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream. This eye cream immediately reduced the look of dark circles and puffiness while blending in with my skin tone.
By Day 14, I am shocked to say the wrinkle I have on the top of my forehead was visibly reduced in appearance (actually two wrinkles; the new one that was starting to rear its ugly head has now vanished). It’s hard to photograph the difference, but I can see that my forehead wrinkle isn’t as pronounced and doesn’t even bother me anymore. A further method that could also be used to reduce wrinkles even further could be through treating yourself to a Botox Mississauga . However, sticking to my Olay skincare regime helped give my skin the hydration it needed.
Now at Day 28, I feel confident that I’m preventing future signs of stress on my skin with continued use. Did I mention it’s actually enjoyable to use? From the packaging to the consistency of the product to the scent and the smooth feeling on my skin, I look forward to washing my face and putting my face creams on twice a day. It only takes a few minutes, and I can give myself that “me-time” without much mom guilt.
To be honest, what made me most interested in trying Olay was their claim that it hydrates skin better than creams costing over $100, $200, and even $400. For such an affordable product, I’m very impressed, but I can’t say I’m surprised, because it’s been a household staple in the US for so many years. I’ve even had my husband try out my Olay cleanser, moisturizer and eye cream, and from someone who never uses any skincare, he said he looked fresh and liked how it smelled. Here’s to hoping my hubby starts some kind of skincare regime after rubbing off of me!
