Intervention Wrap-Up

Ok - this is a little late, since I finished the Olay Regenerist 14-day intervention kit almost, well, 14 days ago ago, but hey, I'm a busy mom, and that's all I'll say about that! Well, I can't say my skin was transformed - the fact that Olay states in its advertising that this product does not rival surgical procedures is certainly correct, if not an understatement. I do think I had a minor improvement - my pores on my cheeks seemed slightly smaller. The product does say it plumps up the skin, so maybe that's why my cheeks/pores looked a little better. My skin tone looked a little more even, but to be honest, I can't fully say if that was because of the Olay or the new Garniere Nutritioniste moisturizer with SPF 28(rock on) I'm trying. Yes, I committed a skin care sin and started two new products at the same time. Ooops.

Overall, the Olay Intervention kit did not give me dramatic results in any way, and I wouldn't say by any means that my skin was transformed, but I do think I at least saw that it did something, which is more than I can say for a lot of other skin care products I've purchased over the years. I think maybe if you have pretty decent skin to begin with (I don't), maybe you will see greater improvement. That said, I can't say I sing its praises, but I don't give it a big thumbs down, either.

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 ...
