Complete Ageless by Olay

Oil of Olay was the first moisturizer that I ever used.  My mom has been using Olay products for as long as I can remember and the light fragrance and distinctive black-topped bottle of the standard moisturizer has been floating around my family for years.  With over 100 products for all skin types and budgets, I am always interested to see what new lines this reliable brand is releasing next.

This August Olay launched a new product line called Complete Ageless that “helps to give more ageless looking skin in five days.”   The entire line is enriched with green tea and ginko extracts to promote healthy skin surface renewal processes and reduce the appearance of facial lines and visible pores.  My favorite product was the Olay Complete Ageless Skin Renewing UV Lotion.  Just like the reliable Olay products that I have been using for years, the lotion was light and moisturizing.  The lotion has SPF 20, which is extremely difficult to find in a daily moisturizer.  With the increased knowledge about the dangers of sun damage, it’s wonderful to find a product with a high SPF that isn’t greasy.  This lotion provides the protection that most sunscreens do, but it feels just like a light facial moisturizer!

The UV Lotion pairs well with the Olay Complete Ageless Rejuvenating Lathering Cleanser and Eye Brightening Cream to complete your entire skincare routine.  The Lathering Cleanser has micro-beads for a light daily exfoliation, which should always be your first step in the morning to remove dead skin cells.  (I’ll post later this month about the importance of exfoliation!)  I am a big fan of lathering cleansers because you really feel like they are soaping you up and getting the dirt off!  The Eye Brightening Cream is a thicker moisturizing cream, which is good for the delicate skin around the eyes.  This is typically one of the first areas to show signs of aging, so it’s important to take special care of this area.

The Olay Complete Ageless collection is available in most drugstores at extremely affordable prices.  You can visit the Olay website to find out more.
