Review: Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging, Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths


-My review also on AC

Did you know that if you wear makeup daily, and you fail to get every last trace of that makeup off a night before bed, that you are more prone to waking up to break outs?

Hopefully you knew that. If not, now you do.

I began using makeup removers since my teen years, and over the years have found that some removers work like a charm, while others contain an oil base which actually caused more harm to my skin, than they did good (break out city!).

I stuck to one particular non-oil makeup remover for years. This remover however was expensive, and did not come with much formula in its small bottle.

More recently I have found a love in cleansing cloths. Cleansing cloths not only will remove all traces of makeup, but many on the market today have cloths that will remover makeup from your skin, as well as dirt and oil. Besides just that though, they provide a benefit to the skin.

One such product goes to Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging, Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths.

These wet cleansing cloths will remove dirt, oil, impurities, and at the same time will leave behind a beneficial formula that will improve your skin by making it smoother both to the touch and visibly. The cloths are strong enough to even remove stubborn waterproof mascara.

My use with Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging, Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths, was positive. The cleansing cloths not only removed all traces of makeup, but it left my skin feeling very smooth, clean and refreshed after just one use.

Over time I noticed a subtle difference in my skin tone, but to me the difference was very, very small, so if you buy this one, don't go on expecting miracles as far as curing wrinkles goes.

If you want a really efficient makeup remover than these cleansing cloths are perfect for you. If you are looking for help with minimizing the appearance of wrinkles I'd suggest Cerave, and Estee Lauder's skin care products.

All in all though, Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging, Micro-Exfoliating Wet Cleansing Cloths are cheap, effective, and leave your skin feeling clean, refreshed and new after just one use.

Review of New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths

-My post also on AC

I have always been fond of cleansing cloths that are capable of removing makeup from my face. I used to use makeup removals that would come in bottles, however I always found them to be messy, and they'd cause break outs, especially the oil based makeup removers! Gag my skin!

I began using cleansing cloths because I found them to be cheaper, work better, and they were not as messy as tipping a bottle of liquid over tissue paper. More recently though, cleansing cloths have become even better, due to the added extra benefits. Not only will they remove makeup, but they will also improve your skin. Olay in particular is well known for going that extra mile when it comes to skin care.

When I came across their newest wet cleansing cloth with the added benefit of reducing fine lines on my face, I knew I had to try it. Besides ridding my face of makeup, and hard to remove eye makeup like mascara and eyeliner, Olay went and added an anti wrinkle serum which is infused within the cloth!

Although I'm pretty wrinkle free, keeping my skin wrinkle free is a must; especially at my age, when wrinkles are bound to pop up in due time. Keeping them away is my goal, and so far its been an easy task thanks to all of the wonderful products available to me.

Olays new Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths is one of them!

These wet cleansing cloths come in a pack of 30 for about $7.00. Its a bit pricey for just a months supply, but I was willing to spend the extra loot to see if they were worth it, and to see if they would work as promised.

My Use:

The New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths have a soft quilt like texture to them, which are not at all abrasive to the skin, nor do they leave behind and greasy or sticky residue. They have no scent whatsoever, and I was pleasantly surprised that it removed all traces of my eyeliner and mascara without barely having to try.

The New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths worked, and it worked well. I really liked how it left my skin feeling soft and pampered after using it.

The only complaint I have is that I wish the cloths were saturated in the formula a little more. The cloths have a slight dry feeling, but thankfully the cloths themselves are very soft, so it does not feel dry on the skin.

Overall:

While it cleans my skin free of every trace of makeup, I am happy knowing it is also helping protect my skin against wrinkles, and reducing fine lines. It's a win/win in my opinion.

The Best Skin Care Routine For Those With Oily and Dry Skin (Combination Skin)

I have skin that is ever changing, in my teen years I suffered primarily from extremely oily skin, mixed with everyday pimples and zits. It was quite disgusting...thankfully though skin care has come a long way these past 10 years, and no matter what type of skin my body feels like delivering, they have something to fix it.

My skin as of lately though has been plagued with something new. My oily skin is still present, yet I get extremely dry patches near the sides of my nose, and on my forehead.

I was at my wits end with the dry skin! The oily skin I could handle by using a mint facial mask, however using a mint facial mask in conjunction with dry patches on my face would only make it worse, and in more severe cases it would make the dry spots larger, and uglier.

Finally though, finally I was given a solution from a relative who works with skincare products. She bought me an entire skin care deal, and told me how to use the products, when to use them.

I imagined the products would be annoying, and that I would not have the time to put into the routine which I needed to follow daily. However after seeing the most superb glowing skin after just one day of following her advice, I had to share with you the absolute best routine your money can buy.

I have tried all sorts of products, and believe me, even though the products I am about to mention now are a bit pricey, they will work flawlessly for your combination dry/oily skin. I can tell you even though they are pricey, they will save you likely hundreds of dollars a year on wasted money on products that have promises, yet do not deliver.

Another thing most people seem to think is that buying one expensive facial care product will solve all their issues. I know I used to think that way! However little to my knowledge, I learned that your skin needs different products, at different times of the day. One product may do some wonders, but when used in conjunction with other products, the results are faster, and noticeable after just one treatment!

The first thing you are going to need to begin your journey to gorgeous flawless skin is:

Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher.

You will apply this first in the morning after fully cleansing your face. ANY cleanser will do. My personal favorites though are Olay Warming Cleansers which will have a warm feeling when rinsing your face. It opens the pores allowing the Estee Lauder Idealist to work really deep down into the skins tissue. You can though use any cleanser you like. Olay is just one of my personal favorites.

After cleansing you will apply a fair amount of the Estee Lauder Idealist Refinisher to your dry face. Rub it around and let it dry. It dries rather quickly.

After applying the Idealist solution you now want to apply a nice even layer of Estée Lauder DayWear Plus Multi Protection Anti-Oxidant Lotion SPF15 for Oily Skin.

This stuff is simply divine. It has a nice cucumber melon scent to it, and absorbs quickly into the skin. What is so great about it though is that it does not leave your skin feeling dry. It combats oil, yet will not dry out areas that are already slightly parched.

This right here is all you will need to start your day.

You can apply makeup, cover-up, whatever it is you want to your face afterward.

You will notice that all day long your skin will remain shine free. Your dry areas will be fully moisturized, and you will simply be in love with your face! Yes, in love!

What is so wonderful about DayWear Plus Lotion is that it will also protect against future wrinkles, it is oil free, and it will hydrate the skin.

When you are ready for bed, before hoping in and falling asleep, go and cleanse your face again. Any cleanser will do.

Before heading off to dreamland, you will have to apply just two more products to your face for the ultimate daily skin care routine.

The first product being Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrate Recovery Boosting Treatment.

This is an odd little character. It is very expensive, and comes with an eye dropper applicator. You simply squeeze the eye drop rubber, which will fill it with the serum. You then apply the serum to your face, and massage it in. One eye drop fill is enough to cover your entire face. You don't have to use a lot because it spreads easily.

You are probably wondering what this $85.00 serum does though huh?

This one will visibly repair the appearance of past damaged skin, while at the same time it will be protecting your skin's future. It is considered natures moisture magnet. It locks in moisture which will creature naturally beautiful skin. Like a mini bottle of fountain of youth, this stuff is great!

It will also neutralize up to 90% of environmentally generated free radicals, before they are able to cause skin to look prematurely aged.

You are not quite done yet though darling. You will want to slap on one last thing before catching some zzz's.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion was made by dermatologists, and is the last final face topper for your skin care routine. Although it may not look fancy, and it does not have a fancy price attached to it either it is by far one of the best moisturizers you can use on your skin. It will restore and maintain your skins natural protective function.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion can be found in smaller squeeze bottles, or in larger tubs. I bought the largest tub for tons of use. It does leave skin feeling a little slick and sticky, however using it at night will protect the skin, and will not cause break outs! This is one thing I feared about using CeraVe. It has a sticky texture that gets left behind. As you sleep though it will absorb into skin. In the morning you will awaken with beautifully healthy looking skin, free of oil, free of dry spots, and free of break outs.

These are the exact products I use, and I have in 3 days since beginning the routine, seen such a gigantic difference that I had to tell others about it.

Follow the routine daily.
