What does my skin say to me? Sometimes that it still believes I am a teenager (I am faaar from that), sometimes that I never drink enough, sometimes that it hates the sun, sometimes... sometimes... sometimes.
Sometimes, I admit I just don't know my skin and use whatever comes to hand. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I can tell by its reaction: greasy and dull? It's a no. Springy and light? It's a yes.
Straight from the London suitcase of our friends came two products: Olay Regenerist 3-point Super Serum and Olay Regenerist Eye Roller. Given my rather hectic days (I know, I am not allowed to say this because I am a stay-at-home mom at the moment, I know), it's been quite some time since I last listened to my skin or anybody else's in the family for that matter, being more often than not trapped in rather down-to-earth issues.
So, cappuccino cup in hand and dreamy eyes wide open, I asked my skin: "Are you ready to give it a go?"
-- "Yes, let's roll!"
The serum - this cure-it-all new product - is working pretty well: non greasy and easy to apply, it smoothens the skin rather visibly and makes it easier to apply the next cream in line (foundation for me); the eye roller is not having any visible effect, but this may well be due to the fact that my tired and sleep-deprived eyes are beyond recovery. I am willing to accept that and acknowledge what THEY are telling me.
These two presents have helped re-instate some kind of beauty routine, left aside little by little, without even noticing at times, some months ago...
I promise: I will listen...more often...more openly.

Ahh Olay, my grandmother swore by this brand! She had the softest most supple skin... (wish my skin would have loved it as much as hers did). I try my hardest to listen to my skin, though many tubes and creams later, it still has much to tell... ;) Hoping these two Olay products work for you!
ReplyDeleteHello Catherine, Some time ago I gave my mother an Olay product and she loved it. I am glad to have to opportunity to try new products every now and then - all the more as I am pretty loyal. Some dermatologists say that it is better to change routine in order to get results, I am not so sure this works with me though... Or maybe we should just let our skin be?
DeleteI am a strong believer in all the stuff commercials are promising me when it comes to sell me stuff....no more wrinkles in a day? Perfect -give it to me! Luscious hair in a week -great!
ReplyDeleteI now make time and money (!) ans see a cosmetician....
Hope the wonders of Olay will work for you and in combination with some sleep.....Have a great week!
I am so keen on my usual products that usually only presents make me leave my habits aside - they are a good opportunity to try something new. A lovely week to you too :-)
