Daily Moisture to Fight Jack Frost

Happy Wednesday Fabulous Readers! Jessica here :)

Okay…snow is on the ground now...so its basically winter time…*sigh*. My least favorite time of the year! Not only because it gets dark SO much earlier than I would like, but because my skin gets so dried out. I put so many products on it to dry out my usually oily / blemish pronged skin, that by following the same routine in the winter months my skin does actually get dry, flaky and nearly impossible to put on my makeup without looking clumpy and gross! This is a nightmare and I am usually left feeling self-conscious all day, dying to get home and scrub my face raw trying to get the flakes off…this, also, not good.

So what’s a girl to do? I have combination/oily skin so anything with the words moisture and cream scare me. I know my mom and grandmother have always used Olay and they have amazing skin. So I looked to see what my options were with Olay and I decided on the Active Hydrating “beauty fluid” :) The claims on the back won me over, “Light, non greasy, won’t clog pores”…All words that seem not too threatening for my skin.

The smell was great and the lotion actually had a light feel and absorbed nicely into my skin giving it an instant hydration without an oily feeling! Wow!!! Olay is just the best…not only am I perfectly hydrated but my makeup can go on as normal and I don’t have any added oily slicks or scaly flakes…I am balanced, finally! Olay has been in my family for generations and my grandmother’s skin is near perfect, with barely any wrinkles…she does not look her age that’s for sure!

Another AMAZING discovery, after trying out the M.A.D Anti-Aging Glycolic Toner I noticed they have a Breakout Control Daily Moisturizer. OMG, this is PERFECT for me. Not only do I get the perfect amount of moisture for my skin, but it helps fight breakouts through-out the day and under my makeup! It contains tea tree oil, peppermint oil, ginger root extract and witch hazel which is nothing but beneficial for the skin. The claims, I feel in love with, “Properly balanced extracts work to tame oil production, lightly moisturizing dry skin. Chamomile and Ginger root are effective calmers to sooth and comfort. This synergy of botanicals works together to improve oil control, to smooth irritations and moisturize dry skin to help you look you’re best”. All which I found true when using this product!

I am set for the winter, bring it on Jack Frost!

Until next week, stay warm, and keep on being beautiful you…
