Better Skin in 14 Days? Yes, Please, Yes!!




Ok, I broke down and shelled out the $22.50 (it was on sale at my grocery store) and bought the Olay Regenerist 14 Day Skin Intervention that consists of "14 individual anti-age treatments for an intensive intervention to your normal skincare routine." There are two phases and you use each phase instead if your usual nightly moisturizer for two weeks. I have used three nights' worth so far. While I haven't noticed any changes yet, I will say the first phase treatment is really nice to apply. I think some people might say it's greasy, but it's really more velvety. It has a nice slip to it, and almost feels a teeny bit powdery (but doesn't look that way at all). I like the texture a lot. I wonder if any of the other Olay products have the same feel - I might buy one just for that reason alone. But I am keeping a positive attitude that at the end of the two week period, my skin will have a nice healthy glow to it. Uh, coincidentally, (wink-wink) the day after I finish the two week intervention, I am attending a wedding in Atlanta where I will be seeing a bunch of friends and former co-workers, so I want to look my best. Hopefully, Olay Regenerist will not let me down! Now if only Olay had a 14 day intervention for eating too much my daughter's Easter candy, then I'd be all set...

I will! I'll give an update every few days. I'm really hoping to see some change, but trying not to set my expectations to high, either. Thanks for being my first comment, ever!!!

A Little Extra Protection is A Good Thing

For my recent shore vacation (the "shore" is what we southeast Pennsylvanians and southern New Jerseyans call the "beach") I purchased St. Ives Elements Protective Cleanser with SPF 10. This is a facial cleanser that, when you wash the cleanser off your face, is supposed to leave behind a layer of SPF 10 protection. Pretty cool, huh? Now, some people say this will help them skip a pesky extra step in their morning skincare routine by eliminating the application of SPF. I understand how one could feel this way, but c'mon ladies. SPF 10? From a cleanser you just washed off your face? I mean, really, how much protection can that really give you? Now, I'm not denying that the product does what it says, but we should all know by now that you need a lot higher SPF protection on your delicate face than a 10.My dermatologist said nothing less than 30 would do, and she herself wore, like, 75 (and she was probably late 40's/early 50's and her skin was porcelai...

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

So which is it - a gel or body oil? Well, it is both, and I like it! I found this today when I stopped at Wal-Mart to find some replacement cushions for my patio furniture, and immediately had to have it (sadly, I did not get any cushions). It says "new" on the bottle, but looks like maybe it came out some time last year, based on customer reviews at Amazon, however, it's new to me! I thought it had to be brand new because it just seems like summer-in-a-bottle. It has that rich, earthy smell of cocoa butter products, but I also think I caught a very slight whiff of a pretty floral note, like lilacs, which I love, and at the same time, it smells like yummy buttercream frosting! The key ingredients include Brazilian Nut Oil (supposed to be a great moisture barrier, keeping your skin hydrated, and possesses antioxidant properties) and Sweet Almond Oil (gives your skin a pretty glow and restores moisture). To be honest, I don't see cocoa butter listed in the ingredients ...
